The ELOs differ on different devices so my ELO is incorrect on PC compared to the Shredder ELOs on the IPAD (both mine and Shredders ELO). I write this so that the information is as accurate as possible as I track my own progress. Accurate information is extremely important to learn as efficiently as possible regardless of pace

00:00 Thoughts about chess in general
15:25 Playthrough of the Game
26:35 Analysis of the game
34:00 Future video. Flip the board and analyze how the White piece move 
36:10 Engines and websites. Why I prefer Lichess.org over Chess.com any day. Slick UI, free, better engines, higher overall across the board just less GM's pushing Lichess of obvious sponsorship reasons
41:00 Do variations of my moves as Black during the next analysis 
53:50 Improve White's play next analysis as well. This idea builds upon the idea during 34:00
1:02:00 What is Shredder's Elo here? Very important to know 
1:08:40 Game over. Find ways to keep on playing. Video 3 or 4 + Create a playlist for your chess Analysis + Create a playlist for worst games
1:17:07 Analyze games with beginners vs games with GMs
1:21:22 Quick games vs longer games. I meant Rapid not Blitz. I'd rather go for accuracy over speed. Similar to the piano

Discussing chess, things I need to keep in mind, how I learn in general, how I need to adapt to learning within chess specifically since it's so much more complex than most of the other passions that I've chosen to get better at. Being a boomer that has tried many different things and manage to become great at several of them and noticing the huge difference with chess, well that just makes things even more challenging, appealing and interesting. Which is why I come back to it regularly

This time around chess it felt much better to choose chess than Clash of Clans since I already master Clan War attacks at TH9 and it's too easy. I always choose the direction with the highest amount of learning points so that I can stack my entire knowledge database long-term. Life and learning itself is my ultimate addiction and this video is the beginning of me beginning to take chess seriously for real. From my perspective.

I hope to revisit this game because it has a lot of different things that I need to discuss and analyze in the future. Especially if I want to make sure I learn as much as possible from this game

As always chess isn't something I expect to become good at within x years. My perspective is from now til death cause it's a sport I will enjoy one way or another forever. It's just a matter of if I'm drawn towards prioritizing it over other projects or not that will determine the pace at which I learn and I'm in no rush whatseover. Which is extremely refreshing and also extremely rare when I'm into one of my projects. Playing chess from this perspective also makes it the perfect fit when other projects slow down or if I need to add another learning curve while I'm having downtime during a main project like WOW RBGs at the moment. Having been sick and still having a voice that's hoarse isn't good for RBG comms now is it haha. Time will tell the RBG story. I'm extremely happy that chess finally is getting some airplay in my life. Been 2 years since the last run
