I have a recommendation for your videos sir. First of all, let me tell you this before, it might seem like I am just here pointing out weaknesses like a hater and lessening your hardwork, but that is absolutely not what I am doing, I just want you to succeed becuase while i was watching the intor, i was shocked at just 10 subscribers! but then i understood these points which could maybe help you out. So, first of all, The Thumbnails are awesome, they are dashing and cool enough for people to click on it, people might find some problems but only when they notice it deeply, secondly, the bgm choice is also superb! also, the Intro was great, it is a completely working hook, I really got excited while watching it, but the latter parts can do with some help. First, the voice is too AI, if you could put your own voice, or an AI voice that does not sound like it, it would be much better, and while editing, please do not put the AI generated video slops such as when you did the kirsum ilyumzhinov part. the cuts between the parts could be more smooth as well instead of black screens. Another thing is that you could do maybe a more detailed explanation of all of these stories, maybe 1 or 2 more minutes. Then, editing, you could have shown the spanish team of kiril shevchinko with a title bleow saying "Spanish Enclave", you could show more articles and news and highlight the specfic words/sentences ( like you also did in some places), the sped up parts i think are too sped up, the thing is that some parts of the edit are too good and some are not, so its hard to point out all exactly (btw, ik editing is very hard, i have done it myself and made a video myself of way less quality than yours). You could watch channels such as 64 squares and the checkmate corner for inspiration as well. Other than this, your videos are great, and it gets even better when i know that you have just 2 videos, You have alot of potential, I am sorry if my comment was kind of a long rant, but i genuinely would love to see more videos like this. If you have read the whole comment, thank you and bye :)

Dang. At least use an automated narrator better than this. For example, So is a chess player. Having the voice trying to read sentences as if So means therefore when it refers to the player is just silly and disrespectful.
