I Got #Check-Mated by a Bunch of Knights...

Yeah, like, even though I put up a fight for a while despite a few non-obvious mistakes near the beginning... I got a chance to see something interesting.
h9GgmXq.jpg
One of the hall-marks that I've noticed about high-rated chess-players is their ability to come up with the most bizarre check-mate patterns.
Anyway, I lost, but that is to be expected against an opponent whose Blitz-Rating (i.e.: 10m & under games) is 2702 at the time when this match occurred.
This was a «Classic» match though for which his Classic-Rating was 2246 Elo at the time I faced against him & his Bullet-Rating being 2007...
Move-list in Spoiler (mine are the Black Pieces) for who-ever is into that stuff...
Decided to link a video of it instead & put moves-list into the next spoiler...

Next Spoiler : Personal-Opinion About Vimeo versus YouTube
Also, wow, I think I am now of the opinion that Vimeo is better than YouTube, not the least of which is because I regard YouTube as being plagued with far too many of those «reaction» videos. The «censorship» that goes on with YouTube would be better-allocated towards dropping those «reaction-videos» down to the bottom of any search-results or just have them not even show up in any of their search-results at all (like they do to any video that isn't or doesn't agree with the «main-stream» so-called «news» channels like ABC, CBS, CNN, CBC, PBS, NBC, FOX, BBC, and rather than list every single one of them since a world-wide list would be too lengthy I'll just finish off by calling the last one MSLSD because they all obviously be tripping).

    How'd you wind up in such a mess in the first place?

    How did a Russian get his a$$ handed to him in chess; that's their national sport.

    The interesting thing, the opponent only took a little more than 2 minutes to do max damage.

    .. and it got a pawn to the end and did NOT choose a Queen.

    For the record, most of my matches don't go like that, and that was an opponent who was one of the world's literal Grand-Master players.
    Here is another one of my matches with some annotations err I mean narrations... sort of. Give something similar a try for your Joust-Videos ?

    For another record the time-displays are how much time is remaining in the match and that opponent had Grand-Master Elo-Rating.

    Nope. I've been stalked far too many times to then have someone decide they like the sound of my voice.

    ...them text-to-speech software must be really good if anybody thought that those were any of my voices...! ;o
    I was using the «m00 Voice-Recorder» program in conjunction with Balabolka to get those audio-insertions by the way.
    Just put the credit to the voices, and use «David's» voice for the narrator, replete with intro-credits (or ending) & name David as Narrator.
    Unless the «stalker» just happens to «swing that way» I don't think they're going to go about stalking «David» the text-to-speech Narrator.
    The main draw-back is of course more editing time and effort but you have a whole week in-between Joust-Finals...

    I'm not sure if voiced commentary would work. Often there are concurrent matches. I recently added a little bit of production to the videos with on-screen text. It's been well received but it greatly increases the production time. Going into to detail for each match would greatly increase the production time.

    Which is always the creator/filmer's conundrum. How much time and effort are you willing to waste on this XD
