This is a great teaching video (which is not highlighted by titling it 'hodge podge', despite the admitted humor)! I like how you focused on what you should be thinking about as you play. Very helpful for a clueless person like me. Also ( #videorequest), how about a video that is totally about how to approach playing each move, illustrated with examples and the requisite subtle humor? You know - what to notice, what to think about first, what not to do, how to intimidate your opponent, what to do if your feet itch. Practical stuff - you know what I'm talking about. And thanks for the video. I'll never be any good, but now I have less excuse for that.

Im glad you discern the difference between a good pc move and a goo human move. I don't like when people suggest moves just because a pc said so because it somehow blocks a variation no human would ever calculate but there is a better move that isn't as perfect in a computers eyes but wins against a human who can't calculate a defense.

The equation for updating ELO has a "k factor" to control how quickly someone's ELO changes. For new players, it's higher, so they can adjust closer to their actual ELO faster as there's little sense in having someone rampage through ranks too low for them for too long (or little sense in having someone struggle if the starting ELO is too high). ELO changes by k*([actual points] - [expected points]). Due to the large difference in ELO, the expected points for 1 game would be 1, a guaranteed win. That's why if he wins, he would gain 0 ELO as 1 - 1 is 0. If [actual points] was -1, meaning he lost, his rating would be adjusted by 10*(-1 - 1) = -20. The other player most likely has the regular k factor used after enough games, which is 20. That's twice as much as Ben's k factor, so he'd see a change of +40. If he were in the initial, more volatile period, a k factor of 40 is used, which is twice as much again, meaning he'd see a change of +80. A draw counts as 0.5. Since 1 - 0.5 is 0.5, all the numbers would be halved in the case of a draw.
