Hey everyone! Today’s post is just a quick update about a few things:
Update #1: I’m going to be much more active and consistent with my YouTube channel starting today (https://www.youtube.com/@DaltonPerrine). Today’s video is already released and I have a lot of videos scheduled to be released as the month goes on. The plan is to release 5 videos per week.
Three of them (Monday/Wednesday/Friday) will be educational speedrun/playthrough videos where I play from a 600 rapid rating on Chess.com eventually up to a 2000+ rating while explaining my thoughts during the games. The openings played in these three videos each week will be the Reti Nimzo Larsen Attack (White opening starting with 1. Nf3 2. b3), the Benko Gambit (Black opening vs 1. d4) and the French Defense (White opening vs 1. e4). These three openings were chosen because they are openings that I made courses about on Chessable (see update #2 below).
The other two videos each week (Tuesday/Thursday) will focus on solving tactics. Tuesdays will be an educational solving session where I work from a 400 tactic rating eventually up to a 3000+ tactic rating. Thursdays will involve Chess.com’s puzzle rush in its various forms with survival mode being the flavor for this first week.
If you’re interested in checking out the videos then the first one can be found here:
