My First Lichess Screen Recording: I Lost to the Clock! | Sunday Crazyhouse Chess
♟️ My First Recorded Chess Game — A Loss and a Learning Experience!
On Sunday, November 8, 2026, I recorded my first chess game on Lichess.org, playing my favorite chess variant, Crazyhouse!
Unfortunately, my first recorded match ended in defeat. I lost on time! ⏰
It had been a while since I played chess on my desktop computer. I’m much more accustomed to playing on my phone, where moving pieces feels natural and quick.
Switching back to a mouse and desktop screen took some adjustment. In Crazyhouse, where captured pieces can return to the board, every second matters!
🎥 My First Step Into Chess Content Creation
Although I lost, I’m excited about recording my games and sharing them with the Hive community.
This first recording is just the beginning. I plan to improve my videos by introducing:
- 🎙️ Voiceovers explaining my moves and strategies.
- 🎬 Video editing to highlight exciting moments.
- ✨ Animations showing tactical combinations and important moves.
- ♟️ Game analysis discussing mistakes, victories, and lessons learned.
💬 I Need Your Suggestions!
I’m asking the Hive community for feedback.
What would make my chess recordings more entertaining and engaging?
Would you prefer live commentary, post-game analysis, animated moves, background music, or shorter highlight videos?
I’d especially appreciate recommendations for beginner-friendly video editing software and screen recording techniques.
Leave your suggestions in the comments! Your feedback will help shape my future chess videos.
