All matches from the "Monday Bullet Arena" (Monday, 1/10/2023). Originally planned to record only 3-4 bullet matches per video, but due to some significantly glitchiness, decided to simply record the full tournament. Also not EXPECTING any weekly ETH rewards - but if it is possible to NATURALLY reach "400th or below" rank (without extra effort, that is), the rewards will be used to buy more "The Unstable Horses Yard", and other cheaper, NFTs on OpenSea. Actually had a change of earning 0.002 ETH or 0.001 ETH in this tournament. Also, doing some matches WITHOUT recording, to increase the chance of ranking higher each week, by playing more matches.
Been having some good success learning more about, and running, the matches through the chess engine on Chess.com, after playing. Also finding that the BULLET matches are easier to run through the engine, because they make these videos a bit shorter, and more manageable - but at the cost of accuracy of play. May run a FEW of these through the engine after this video is published and reviewed. One of the most beneficial features of the chess engine is that both helps to learn from mistakes, and it helps give a sense of the proper names of openings/tactics (ex. Philidor Defence, King's Opening, etc.) which ONE plays naturally (often without realizing the proper name of the technique). This enables ONE to then do further research on such openings and strategies, to build further skills and competence. This is surely one argument FOR artificial intelligence ;-? However, it appears that there is some debate about the ethics and effectiveness of using chess engines, which is a topic which will be explored in the coming weeks, and videos.
Now watching the following video by "Chess Dojo":

Also watching the new video by "Rage Quit Chess", where @cryptogee focused on bullet matches (a suitable topic for this video):

The goal of this project is to document the PROCESS of "Play to Learn/Earn" blockchain-based gaming, while making a personal contribution to the chess community (online, and maybe even offline) ;-?
