      also by taking that bishop you are pinning white's f pawn to queen

    What I love the most about your content is your commentary while playing since I am way lower rated and it helps me see how to think better in chess. It is also very fun and interesting!

      In general though, thank you so much for creating such high quality chess content. I'm currently 1100 - ish and you're really motivating me to improve my abilities while also making your videos so entertaining. I know this is said very often in your comments, but I really hope you begin to receive more attention to your videos as you grow as a creator.

      Also, at 3:30, why didn't you just go e5 to begin with? Instead of pushing e6 and then going to e5 next turn.

    • @iwantcheckmate
      @iwantcheckmate  23 дня назад +1

      I appreciate it! And that’s a fair idea it would result in pretty much the same two options for my opponent depending on whether he wants to en passant

  • @zivronen9539
    @zivronen9539 24 дня назад

    So about content length since no one else commented (at least that I found): I think that 30 minutes/3 games (whichever sooner) is great balance. If you have really long or short games and reach and awkward 23 minutes or so, and the last game was interesting, maybe analyze it (if the site permit)?
    I will probably watch even hour long videos, but if you keep uploading daily this will probably be too much, while reducing it to 20 minutes/2 games will also be completely fine, especially as you rank up to your real score and games become more difficult (or if you just want to space it out).

    Hey, so im not exactly sure whats happening to your mic, but i think i may be overlaying the left and the right channel try muting one channel and then applying a mono filter. Maybe go chech in Windows settings if you have two channel audio quality selected (if so use mono), that might also solve the issue. Just an idea not sure if it'll help.
