I'm playing on Chess.com -- these aren't sponsored videos but the site seems pretty cool.
Chess has been having a resurgence in popularity this year so I have finally acquiesced to semi-popular demand and started to play a bit. First, let's hone our skills and get a little more warmed up and then let's conquer chess dot com one board gamer at a time.

NL, a really good move for when you did your 2 minute think was knight B7. Applying pressure to his bishop. Then follow that with rook A8. If he doesnt react correctly, then you can simply take the bishop and end the game. Also allows you to continue to control the game rather than allow him to take control, which was what happened when you brought the rook back. Loving the series so far!
