Exclusive video - Karen vs Yvonne at Puzzle Chess

My new video is up and it's all about an online puzzle competition that I did with Yvonne the other weekend. To be honest, originally I was only planning to use this footage for Patreon and social media, but I ended up having enough to say that I decided to make a main channel video out of it:

I also wanted to put up a relatively simple video this week because...I have officially started puzzling the 9000 piece Zodiac puzzle! I'm hoping to get the first part of that video series up next weekend - stay tuned for exclusive sneak peeks.

On to today's exclusive video - when I was at Yvonne's, we raced at Puzzle Chess. If you're not familiar, this is a brand new form of puzzling that turns it into a game. The Puzzle Republic made a great intro video about it (this video has over 7 million views!):

I actually filmed some puzzle chess with Jessica and Luke from the Puzzle Republic the other week, so I'm still planning to edit that into a main channel video in the next month or so. In the meantime, you can get a preview of my race against Yvonne at the video above or at these links:

Real time video - 12 minutes

Sped up video - 3 minutes

To be honest, puzzle chess isn't always the most exciting to watch, so I exported it both in real time and sped up. I also realized it's not as exciting if you can't see the time counting down. So when I include this in the real video about it, I'll have to edit in a countdown and add breaks every single time we hit the phone. If we only we had just tilted the phone up so the camera could see it!

Thank you so much for being here as a paid patron, and I hope you're all ok with my free newsletter existing in this same space. I really appreciate all of you so much!
