You mean 99.9%?

I know that you tend to personally prefer the rapid/bullet style but the longer time control here lets you articulate your thoughts much more thoroughly and I LOVE it.  More games where you are not inherently under time pressure, whether regular chess or variants, is absolutely my favorite content from you as listening to your reasoning is quite interesting and you have an amazing voice to listen to!

In short, more like this please and best of luck on being top 0.1% and climb to 100K subs which is probably also certainly in the top 0.1% of Youtube accounts and then some!

For someone who really wants checkmate, you flag your opponents quite often

You made that first game look so easy and sound so simple, hugely impressive.

0:00 I've been watching you for what has to be three months at this point, and I realize I've never seen anyone - myself included - greet you back. So, "Hello," to you, too, iwantcheckmate :)

I love watching you play all the weird variants, but I really enjoyed this video and learned something from it. Would love to see more!

I was hoping you'd do something like this because i knew you were 2000+ elo and while it is fun to see you play variants sometimes you gotta go back to basics.  Btw great video, keep it up!

These were some of the most exciting games on your channel!

I wouldn't mind a brief bit of engine analysis after the game! I assume you were completely lost in that last game, but I'd be interested in seeing when.

26:19 “extracurricular activities” was very amusing, I like that lol

Can't wait for the 100k vid!

Bro went ultra instinct at the end.

29:23. "There are forking ideas, basically guaranteed - I just have to be able to find them" - Continues to completely blunder a fork in the very next move 😂🎉

I'd love to see an educational speedrun with different openings of 10 minute games, you have a really approachable way of explaining your moves and philosophy.

I imagine at the edges of the bell curve, the elo gaps between percentiles get wider.

Love to see you play a longer format at be able to explain more about your thought process!

Me who’s at 83 percentile somehow at 1000 rapid

I’m happy to sit here and watch you play regular chess as much as I am whatever variant you’ve picked for the day. You’re good at commentating, I learn a lot from hearing your thought process. Maybe consider a rating climb, or more long form normal chess content like this.

I just wanted to let you know that I've started playing chess for the first time because of you. I used to think it was boring and I didn't really get it, but your videos explaining your moves and thoughts very clearly (to your time detriment, no less) made me want to give it a try. I like going against the computer for now and I really like the puzzles on Lichess, but maybe someday I'll have the confidence to start playing against other people. Just wanted to say thank you for this new hobby.

You're way better at chess than most people I know & played some really sharp games here, too. I absolutely did NOT see the ending coming! That king and rook checkmate is literally the only bit in the entire video that I could've managed :)
