Thanks everyone! It was indeed a resolution issue inside of OBS. Once I changed that, it looks normal again! Amazing how quickly those pounds came back.

"Help, I'm being squished in this lil box" was a really cute start to this video

i don't know anything about cameras, but i support narrow Nelson in his endeavours

Some amazing weight loss there, Nelson!

Nothing wrong with the camera, your head has just grown a little.

Now I'm gonna stay dull and play dumb because he didn't say his catchphrase 😭

Check if the camera output is different than the softwares input. It could be that the cameras output is 16:9 but the softwares input is 4:3 so it stretches the picture to fit the box.

Your loss was a very instructive game. It's often quite a puzzle to figure out the correct sequence of moves and sacs in those situations in which you've got opponent on the ropes, with his/her king seemingly vulnerable in the corner. And yep, if you get it wrong and sac the tables may quickly turn.

There are three ways to increase the brightness of the recorded image/video:
1. Decrease shutter speed. The longer the shutter stays open, the more light will hit the sensor. The numbers indicating shutter speed are fractions of 1, so the lower, the more light (e.g. a shutter speed of ‘40’ indicates the shutter will stay open for 1/40th of a second. A shutter speed of ‘160’ will let in thrice as little light,
2. Increase the size of the hole (‘diaphragm / aperture’) that the light enters through. Again, it’s fractions of one, so the lower, the more light hits the sensor. This also has the effect of blurring the background more (or actually any objects outside of the focal field), which  can be aesthetically pleasing. This setting is controlled through the f number.
3. Increasing the sensor’s sensitivity. This is done by increasing the ISO value.

If your camera adjusts exposure automatically, the easiest way to increase the brightness might be the exposure compensation button or wheel.

Hope this helps!

Not sure about the camera aspects , but some good games there with stronger players who used their time better . Thanks as ever Nelson

Kudos for staying calm in the loss - I would have been devastated, impacting my other game too. And Kudos to the opponent too - what a game!

You need to set the aspect ratio to 16:9

Amazing video like usual what a great channel 🍀🤎

nelson, very sensually: I like that 38:40

Try turning  “kidney bean head” settings to ‘off’.

woah im early to a video this is awesome. that 1900 guy was insane. I swear these are the opponents I get sometimes and they are soooo good

that last game was great, enjoyed how the analyzation turned out. Thanks for the fascinating content!

44:18 this can also apply the other way around. It’s probably a bit silly, but sometimes I deliberately pause when the bishop takes the rook in the wing gambit lines from your e4 course. This always seems to make my opponent think I’ve blundered and play directly into the lines I want. Especially the Carlsbad variation line where you knight check on d6 and create the discovered attack with the bishop. It really seems to make them feel comfortable with their material advantage and press on thinking they’re in a good spot.

A couple of really interesting games.  Thanks, Nelson

Love your content! I wish I could loses half this good.
