Now, let me tell you about the video I’m sharing today. Yesterday, I had the chance to sing in front of an audience again. It was a small event organized by my singing school, where all the students could show what they’ve learned and how much they’ve improved. I sang two #songs. The first one was LOVE by Nat King Cole, which is a calm and classic #song. The second song was Bring Me To Life by Evanescence, which is very different and more exciting. Even though my throat was a little sore, I think I did a good job, and I’m happy to share the video with you. I hope you like it!

I’m sorry for not posting for a while, and I’ll try to share more soon. Sometimes I get busy with other things I like doing. Maybe I’ll work on those Lego Stop Motion videos again if I feel #excited about them. Please let me know what you think of my singing in the comments. Thank you for watching!

Hi everyone! This is my video of a lego stop-motion I made in a city. I worked really hard to make it super fun and cool to watch. If you don’t understand what I say, it’s because I just got braces, so my voice sounds a little funny — sorry about that!

To make this video, I used an app called Stop Motion Studio. It’s really easy to use! You just take lots of pictures of your lego pieces moving a little bit at a time. Then you add some sound effects and music, and your video is ready! After that, you can share your video with your friends or with people all over the world — just like I did!

I also used another app called Brickit. This app helps you get ideas for what to build with your lego bricks. It’s really cool because you can build small things, like a Nintendo game console with only 4 pieces. Or you can make bigger things, like a robot with 21 pieces! If you ever don’t know what to build next, Brickit is a great app to help you think of new ideas.

Right now, I’m starting a whole series of lego stop-motion videos. The story is about a lego guy who starts a cool adventure on a place called @Peakd (you guys know PeakD, of course). He does that bit by bit. Maybe you can guess what that means!

I hope you like my video and my series. Making stop-motion is really fun, and I want to keep making more videos so I can get better and better at it. Maybe one day you can make your own lego stop-motion videos too!

Thanks for watching!

I had nothing to do one day, and I was just sitting in my room thinking, “Ugh, I’m so bored!” 😩 Then I remembered stop-motion! I always thought it looked fun, so I said, “Okay, I’m gonna try it!” And guess what? It was SO fun! Now I want to keep making more!

What is Stop-Motion?

Stop-motion is a way to make movies, but instead of filming video, you take lots of pictures! You move your toy (like a LEGO minifigure) just a little bit, then take a picture. Then move it again, and take another picture. You keep doing that over and over, and when you put all the pictures together, it looks like the #LEGO is moving all by itself! 😲

It’s kinda like animation, but with real toys instead of drawings or computers. Some people use LEGO, some use clay, and some even use dolls or paper! It takes a long time, but when you see the final video, it’s totally worth it. It looks like the toy is alive!

Some big movies like Coraline and The Nightmare Before Christmas were made with stop-motion. That’s so awesome, right? 😄

LEGO + Stop-Motion = BEST COMBO EVER

I love LEGO, and I thought it would be perfect for stop-motion. LEGO minifigures are small, easy to pose, and they can do all kinds of stuff like walking, talking, jumping, or even fighting! 😆

To make a LEGO stop-motion, all you do is:

1. Build your LEGO scene
2. Choose your LEGO character
3. Write a little story or script
4. Start taking pictures one by one
5. Move your LEGO guy just a little bit each time

Then put the pictures together in a video editor or a stop-motion app 🎞️

Here’s a picture from one of my stop-motion videos:

Looks cool, right?

How I Made My First One

So here’s how I made my first LEGO stop-motion video:

I got bored. 😂 Seriously, that’s how it started.

I came up with a story for my LEGO guy. I made a little script about what he was going to do and say.

I took a bunch of pictures — like, A LOT. I ended up taking 181 photos! 😮

I edited the pictures and turned them into a #movie. I used a camera, but you can also use apps made just for stop-motion, which makes it easier!

I added some sound and music to make it even more fun.

When I watched the video at the end, I was so happy! I didn’t even notice how much time had gone by. I wasn’t bored anymore at all! 😄

What’s Next?

Now I want to make a whole series of LEGO stop-motion videos! Like a show with episodes and everything! That would be so fun! Maybe it’ll have action, jokes, and even space battles… or pizza-eating contests 🍕😂

I'm still learning, but I think I’m getting better every time I make one. And the best part is — anyone can do this! You don’t need fancy stuff, just some LEGO, a camera or phone, and lots of patience.

Final Thoughts

LEGO stop-motion is awesome. It’s fun, creative, and it helps you use your imagination. If you're bored like I was, try it! You might end up making your own cool movies too!

Most important is that I can now #promote Hive in all of my Stop Motion videos. The idea is to add all my videos on Youtube and I hope a lot of people will see it and also see Hive logo or link Hive.io.

That’s it for now! I’m gonna go make more videos.
Thanks for reading!

Do you wanna try it too? Let me know what you’d make!

Hi everyone! My name is Dovydas, and I am 11 years old. I absolutely love #singing, and I recently had the most incredible experience performing at Theater Dakota with the amazing Residentie Orkest! I want to share all about this special day with you because it was truly unforgettable.

The Krokusconcert at Theater Dakota

The concert was called the Feestelijk Krokusconcert, and it was such a magical event! Theater Dakota and Residentie Orkest put together this special concert where different musicians came together to perform for an audience of all ages. It was filled with beautiful #classical music, fun sing-along songs, and even some spectacular film music. I was so honored to be a part of it!

The Residents – A Musical Journey

I was performing as part of The Residents, a #music project that has been around for more than ten years. The Residents are students from the Rosa Basisschool in Den Haag who get the chance to learn different instruments like violin, cello, flute, trumpet, and percussion. Every Thursday, they have music lessons and get to practice playing in a group. The best part? They get to borrow their instruments from the Instrumentendepot or Residentie Orkest, which makes it possible for so many kids to play music!

My Performance

This concert was so special to me because I got to sing four amazing songs, and I was even accompanied by the Residentie Orkest for the grand finale!

• 🎤 First song: It Will Rain by Bruno Mars – This song was a great way to start my performance. It has so much emotion, and I really put my heart into it.
• 🎤 Second song: Not You by Alan Walker – I love this song because it has such a powerful message, and it was so much fun to sing it on stage.
• 🎤 Third song: Drops of Jupiter by Train – This song is one of my favorites, and I felt so connected to the lyrics while singing it.
• 🎶 Grand Finale: L-O-V-E by Nat King Cole – This was the most exciting part because I got to sing it together with the Residentie Orkest! It was such an incredible feeling to perform with a real orchestra playing behind me. The music was so beautiful, and I felt like I was in a dream!

My Dream

Singing in this concert made me even more sure about my biggest dream – to become a great singer! One day, I hope to participate in Junior #Eurovision Song Festival, and when I grow up, I want to compete in the Eurovision Song Contest. I love music so much, and I want to share my voice with the world!

Hive Promo

Please check out at 15:00 minutes of the video. I always promote #Hive when I can!

A Day to Remember

Performing at Theater Dakota with the Residentie Orkest was one of the best days of my life. The feeling of standing on stage, hearing the audience, and singing with all my heart was just amazing. I am so grateful for this opportunity, and I will never forget it!

Thank you to everyone who was there and supported me. And to all of you reading this, never stop following your dreams! 💫🎶

With love,
Dovydas 😊

First Lego League is a super cool competition with Lego #robots! You can build and #program a robot to move, spin, pick up things, and do all kinds of awesome tricks. It’s like making a Lego creation come to life!

There are three important parts in the First Lego League:

1. Core Values

Core Values are all about #teamwork and being kind to others. Even though we compete, we should help each other and be nice to all the teams. It’s not just about winning—it’s about learning and having fun together!

2. Robot Match

In the robot match, teams program their robot to complete different missions on a big table. If your robot does the missions well, you get points! The team with the most points can go to the national finals! It’s exciting to watch the robots do their tasks and see how many points they get.

3. Innovation Project

For the innovation project, teams have to pick a real-life problem and come up with a smart solution. Then, they present their idea to the judges. It’s all about using #creativity and thinking outside the box!

The best part of First Lego League? You get to have fun, work with friends, and learn how to program robots!

The Ride to the Competition

It was finally the big day! The regional finals of the First Lego League were happening today! I was so excited, I could hardly sit still. My team, The Kraken, was ready to compete!

We had to travel to The Museon in The Hague. The Museon is a museum with lots of cool stuff about #art, animals, plants, and science. It took us 15 minutes to get there, which felt like forever because I was so excited!

When we arrived, I saw one of my school friends. But guess what? He was in a different team! That was funny because now we were competitors!

The Teams from My School

There were three teams from my school:

• The Kraken (that’s my team!)
• Sea Spirit
• Coral Explorers

We were all hoping to do well and maybe even win something!

What Happened at the Competition?

At the #competition, we got three chances to do our robot missions. Before the real rounds, we could also practice to make sure everything was working right.

The first practice round was not great. We had 8 missions planned, but 2 of them did not work. Most of our missions didn’t work—except mine! But then, during the real match, my mission suddenly did not work. What?! That was so weird! In the end, we only got 135 points.

The second practice round was better! Everything worked fine. But when we did our real match, something went wrong again. My program was supposed to make the robot move in a straight line, but instead, it acted crazy! It turned out our robot had drift. Drift is when a robot doesn’t move exactly how you programmed it. Because of that, we only got 105 points.

During the third practice round, my program still didn’t work. I started panicking! But my teammates told me to calm down, and we tried again. When we went to the real match for the last time… my mission finally worked! Yay! We got 145 points!

What Place Did We Get?

I’m not exactly sure, but I think we finished in 7th place out of 30 teams. But guess what? One of the teams from our school got 2nd place! That means they had a 50% chance to go to the national finals!

There was also another final on Sunday, and the team that got 2nd place there also had a 50% chance to go to the national finals. Everyone was watching nervously. The robots were rolling across the tables, completing their missions while the teams cheered. Would our school’s team make it? After an intense final match, our school’s team got chosen! We all jumped up and cheered so loudly that people probably heard us in the next room!

We Won a Prize!

Even though we didn’t win the competition, we still got a #prize! We won 1st place for robot #design! Our robot was kind of simple—it was just a box with an arm that could move up and down. But I guess the judges liked it! We also got a cool Lego medal as a prize!

We were also one of the only teams that used EV3, while most other teams used Spike Prime.

What is EV3?

EV3 is a type of Lego robot. Most teams used Spike Prime instead, because Spike Prime is newer and doesn’t have problems like drift. But we still did a great job with EV3, and maybe that’s why we won the robot design prize!

The Best Part!

Even though we didn’t win first place, the whole experience was amazing! We got to build and program a robot, work as a team, and have a lot of #fun. Plus, we made new friends and learned so much about coding and problem-solving. And of course, getting a medal was awesome!

I can’t wait for the next competition! Maybe next time, we’ll make it to the national finals!

I hope you liked reading about our First Lego League adventure! It was such an exciting day, and I can’t wait for the next competition!

See you next time! 😊

A special thank you to @Acidyo ❤️ Because of your support we were able to get super cool T-Shirts.

I started off with some warm-up #puzzles to get my brain thinking. The first one? Super easy—checkmate! 🧠💥 But then the next one… oops! I totally missed a simple move. I was just sitting there like, “Oh no, I’m so bad at chess!” 😅 But hey, everyone makes mistakes, right? So I kept going, ready to learn and have fun! 💪

Then, I jumped into some blitz #games because I love the fast-paced action. ⚡ My first opponent was playing some really strange moves, and I was thinking, “Hmm, are you sure about that move?” But guess what? I took advantage of it and started winning! I was ahead by 12 points of material, but my opponent still wouldn’t resign. I was like, “Why are you still playing?” But in the end, I got the checkmate and won the game! 🎯

But not every game was that easy. I played one opponent who was just too good! I couldn’t believe how they saw some of those moves. I was like, “How did they even see that?!” 😱 It felt like no matter what I did, I was losing pieces. It was a bit frustrating, but I reminded myself that losing is just part of getting better. Every game teaches you something new! 👊

And oh, the mouse slips! I accidentally moved my queen to the wrong square, and I was like, “Nooo! I didn’t mean to do that!” 😂 But that’s okay—I managed to recover in the next games. I even tried out some cool openings like the King’s Indian Defense and the Queen’s Gambit. I felt like a real chess pro! ♟️

In the end, it was such a fun day of playing #chess. I had some wins, some losses, but I learned a lot and had a great time. That’s what chess is all about—having fun, thinking hard, and always trying to improve! 🧠✨

If you enjoyed this story, check out my video and let me know if you’ve ever had a funny chess mistake or an awesome win! I’d love to hear about your games too. 😊

See you in the next match! ✌️♟️

Why I Like Moon Karts

Moon Karts is a lot of #fun because of all the cool features, especially the boosts. You can launch a rocket to blast ahead of your opponents or turn on a shield to protect yourself from attacks. I love how these boosts can make a big difference in a race! It’s really exciting to zoom around the track and use these power-ups to get ahead.

At first, I had some trouble getting into the multiplayer mode. It was a bit tricky to figure out, but after practicing and recording some #gameplay, I finally managed to race against other players. It felt amazing! So, my tip for anyone trying the game: don’t give up! Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be able to race with others, too.

Multiplayer Mode Needs Some Tweaks

One thing I think the game could use is a way to easily see when other players are online. Maybe the game could have a list where you can see who’s ready to race, and it would be awesome if there were a notification that lets you know when someone is ready to join a race. This way, you wouldn’t have to wait around so much and could get into races faster!

Earning in Moon Karts

I’ve been playing the free version of Moon Karts, where you don’t need any special tokens to race. But, if you want to start e#arning in the game, you’ll need to get some Fuel tokens. Once you have enough Fuel and practice your skills, you can start earning rewards from racing. It’s pretty cool that you can actually make money by playing a game like this!

My Laptop Struggled, But Now It’s Great!

At first, my laptop wasn’t powerful enough to run Moon Karts smoothly. The game kept freezing, and it was really annoying. But we borrowed a better laptop from someone else, and now the game works perfectly! Moon Karts doesn’t require a super-powerful computer, but it does need a laptop or PC that can handle the graphics and speed of the game. So, if you're having trouble, maybe try playing on a different device or ask someone if you can borrow a better laptop for a while.

WebGL and the Technical Side of the Game

My dad, who knows a lot about computers, was really impressed with how well Moon Karts works in WebGL. #WebGL is a technology that helps games run in your browser without needing to download anything. But WebGL can be tricky because it sometimes causes games to lag or crash. Dad said that the Moon Karts team must have a really skilled technical artist to make sure the game runs smoothly without these problems. That’s a big deal for any game, so it’s awesome that they did such a great job!

I’m Going to Keep Racing!

In conclusion, I’m definitely going to keep playing Moon Karts. It’s super fun, and I can’t wait to race more! If you like racing #games with cool power-ups and a chance to earn rewards, I really recommend checking it out. Be ready for more #gameplay videos from me because I’m definitely not stopping anytime soon! Keep an eye out for my next races—I’m getting better at the game!

If you haven’t tried Moon Karts yet, what are you waiting for? Jump in, race, and maybe I’ll see you on the track soon! 🏎️💨

Hi everyone! My name is Dovycola, and I LOVE singing (get it? Because my favorite song is called “Love” by Nat King Cole 😄). I’ve been practicing so hard during my singing lessons, and I recorded a video of me singing that song. I think it turned out awesome, and I’m super proud of it!

Guess what? I joined the VIBES Competition week 28! It’s been AGES since I last joined (okay, maybe not that long, but still). This time, I promise I’m going to join every single week. Why?

Now, here are the lyrics to "Love" by Nat King Cole that I sang. I hope you love them as much as I do:

[Verse 1]
L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore can

[Chorus]
Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it, take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you

[Verse 2]
L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore can

[Refrain]
Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it, take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you

[Outro]
Love a-was made for me and you
Love a-was made for me and you

Holiday Reflections: Family, Festivities, and Barbecues

The podcast opened with warm reflections on the holiday season. @minigunner shared his attempts to create a new family tradition with young children during Christmas, humorously recounting the delightful chaos that ensued. Meanwhile, a six-and-a-half-kilo ham became the centerpiece of @artakush celebrations, fueling festive barbecues and holiday cheer.

The hosts underscored the importance of family and community during the holidays, reminding listeners to cherish their connections and build traditions that resonate with their values.

Hive Blockchain: Growth, Market Activity, and Opportunities

Hive #Blockchain has been making headlines recently due to its increased trading activity and notable price growth. The podcast highlighted how Hive’s presence in the markets has attracted significant attention from major traders, resulting in two substantial price pumps within a single week.

This surge in activity reflects growing interest in Hive’s unique value proposition as a decentralized blockchain for social interaction and community building. The hosts noted that such momentum is a positive signal for Hive’s future, as increased trading activity often leads to greater visibility and adoption.

Looking ahead, the discussion emphasized the importance of leveraging this newfound market attention through well-timed campaigns and community-driven efforts. The hosts encouraged Hive users to continue spreading awareness of its innovative features and value as a blockchain that combines decentralization, creativity, and equitable rewards.

Splinterlands: Thriving in the Blockchain Gaming Space

@Splinterlands, a flagship project on Hive Blockchain, continues to lead the way in blockchain-based #gaming with an exciting roadmap for the coming months. The podcast highlighted six major updates that the Splinterlands team is set to roll out:

1. Survival Mode – A new game mode introducing unique challenges for players and expanding gameplay options.
2. Conclave Arcana – A major new card set that promises to enhance strategic depth and offer fresh dynamics to the game.
3. Validator Nodes – The introduction of SPS Chain validator nodes, a significant step toward decentralization and governance.
4. Land 1.75 – Key updates to the much-anticipated land feature, bringing the vision of land-based gameplay closer to reality.
5. New Mobile App – A revamped mobile app designed to improve accessibility and enhance the gaming experience for players on the go.
6. Major Marketing Campaign – A comprehensive initiative to increase Splinterlands’ visibility and attract new users to the platform.

The hosts celebrated these updates, emphasizing #Splinterlands’ role in driving traffic and engagement within the Hive ecosystem. They encouraged listeners to explore the game and support its development as it continues to grow.

The VSC Project: A Game-Changer for Hive in 2025

Anticipation is building for the upcoming @vsc.network set to launch in Q1 2025. While details remain limited, the project is expected to bring significant innovation to Hive Blockchain and serve as a major milestone for the ecosystem.

The hosts speculated on its potential to drive growth and encouraged the Hive community to stay engaged and ready to support its rollout. This initiative, they noted, could help Hive reach new heights in adoption and visibility.

Dash and InLeo: A Proposal for Community Engagement

The podcast touched on interactions with the @dashpay and @leofinance. The hosts shared how they had posted a reply on X (formerly Twitter), suggesting that @khaleelkazi host an AMA (Ask Me Anything) session for Dash users.

The proposed AMA would guide #Dash community members through every step of using InLeo, from registering to posting and exploring the system’s full capabilities. By hosting the AMA within the Dash community itself, the session could reach a wider audience of Dash users, encouraging them to participate and integrate into the InLeo platform.

Cross-Chain Collaboration: Bitcoin and Hive

The podcast highlighted a fascinating opportunity for collaboration between #Bitcoin and #Hive communities, inspired by the efforts of Tyler Durden. Durden’s Bitcoin-funded water well projects in Africa have made a tangible impact, reminiscent of similar initiatives by the Hive community.

While these projects are separate, the hosts saw potential for greater impact if Bitcoin and Hive communities worked together on shared goals. They called for stronger collaboration between blockchain ecosystems, suggesting that pooling resources and expertise could drive even more meaningful, real-world change.

CBRS Website and Community Growth

The CBRS brand continues to grow with the launch of its new website, coldbeetrootsoup.com. Designed to centralize CBRS content, the site features podcast episodes, articles, and updates on projects.

The hosts invited feedback from the community, particularly on integrating Hive’s RSS feeds into the website. Future plans include sections for a merchandise shop and a dedicated page for projects, showcasing the team’s commitment to building a comprehensive platform for their audience.

Looking Ahead: New Year’s Plans and 2025 Goals

As the year comes to a close, the CBRS team is gearing up for an exciting 2025. New Year’s celebrations include family gaming sessions, barbecues, and even a bold swim in the sea to start the year fresh.

Professionally, the team is focused on expanding their content, creating video shorts, educational materials, and strategic campaigns to promote Hive. With Splinterlands, @threespeak, the VSC Project, Dash, and cross-chain collaborations in the mix, 2025 promises to be a transformative year for the CBRS community.

I really love solving Rubik’s Cubes. It’s so much fun! I have a few different kinds of cubes. My favorite one is the one with magnets inside. The magnets make it move much smoother, so it’s faster to solve. But guess what? My favorite cube is broken now! It’s a bit sad, but I’m still practicing with my other cubes.

In the video, I talk about the cubes I have and how much I enjoy solving them. My best time ever solving a Rubik’s Cube was 27 seconds! Isn’t that cool? I was so happy when I did that. But for this challenge, I solved the cube in 51 seconds. That’s still pretty good, right? I’m proud of myself because I kept going and didn’t give up.

It was so much fun to be part of the challenge. I hope you enjoy watching my video! Maybe you like Rubik’s Cubes too? If you do, tell me your best time in the comments! Or if you’ve never tried, you should give it a go. It’s a little tricky at first, but with practice, it gets easier and super fun.

Thanks for checking out my post, and don’t forget to watch the video. See you next time!

P.S I would like to see @khaleelkazi or @acidyo solve one 😉 Up for a challenge?

And it was fun to watch @revisesociology solve the Rubiks Cube as well :)

I already loved programming when I was 10, so I started using #Scratch. For those who don’t know, Scratch is a programming language for kids who like to make games (and play them). I loved it! Then, when it was almost June, I tried #Python. It was really fun! I installed it, and now I program with Python too! But that’s not all—I also make games with #Buildbox. That’s an app where you can make 2D or 3D #games.

Okay, enough about programming—let’s talk about the innovation project! If you were paying attention, you’d know it’s about the sea because of the theme #Submerged. And you’re right! Our project is connected to the sea. It’s about our team name. You’re probably wondering: what’s your team name? Well, it’s The Kraken! Cool name, right?

Our innovation project is about the giant squid. Did you know they live about 3 kilometers under the sea? That makes it really hard to catch or tag them with tracking chips. But we’re working hard to make it possible!

Our team’s big goal is to make it to the FLL World Finals. And with your help, maybe we can do it! Please donate to #support us, and maybe we’ll win! 😃

FIRST LEGO League 2024/25 SUBMERGED missions

The FIRST LEGO League 2024/25 SUBMERGED missions are all about underwater adventures! Teams build robots to complete fun challenges on a special ocean-themed board. Here’s what the missions are, explained simply:

1. Coral Nursery: Put coral trees in their spot to help them grow strong.
2. Shark Habitat: Move the shark back to its safe home.
3. Coral Reef: Add new coral without breaking the old coral.
4. Scuba Diver: Help the diver carry coral to the reef.
5. Angler Fish: Guide the angler fish into a shipwreck.
6. Raise the Mast: Fix the mast of a sunken ship by raising it up.
7. Kraken’s Treasure: Take a treasure chest away from the Kraken’s nest.
8. Artificial Habitat: Build safe homes for crabs and other sea animals.
9. Unexpected Encounter: Release a strange sea creature and bring it to safety.
10. Submersible Exploration: Send a small sub underwater to explore faraway places.
11. Sonar Discovery: Use sonar to find hidden whales.
12. Feed the Whale: Collect krill (tiny food) and feed it to the whale.
13. Change Shipping Lanes: Move a ship so it doesn’t go near whale migration paths.

The goal is to complete as many of these tasks as possible in a short time! Each one is worth points, and #teamwork is super important! 🌊🐠

Our team is working hard to make it to the FLL World Finals, and with your help, we can do it! Imagine if we make it to the finals—the #Hive logo will be printed on our team shirts for everyone to see! It would be amazing, and we’d love it so much!

Hey everyone! Welcome to my third episode of "Road to FIDE Master." For those who are new to #chess, welcome to the amazing world of chess! If you haven't seen my first and second episodes yet, you should definitely check them out. They're really fun and you'll learn a lot about my journey to becoming a #FIDEMaster.

In this video, things didn't go as well as I hoped, and I got a little bit angry. But that's okay, because chess can be really #challenging and we all have bad days. I played against some really cool people with interesting #strategies.

First, I played against Parulthakurr, who used the #Reti Opening. It was a tough #game, and I had to think really hard about my moves. Then, I played against 1234Alfayo, who used the #Barnes Opening. This one was tricky too, and I had to be super careful not to make any mistakes.

Next, I played against someone with a #funny name, P0P0P0P0P0P0P0P0P0. They played the Center Game with me. This game was intense, and I tried my best to keep up. Finally, I played against Judeverte, who used the Wayward #Queen Attack. This one was really surprising and caught me off guard.

I won the first game against Parulthakurr, which made me really happy! But then, I lost all the other #games. I was pretty sad about that, but I'm not giving up. Chess is all about learning from your mistakes and getting better. I'm going to keep practicing and hopefully, I'll gain some #rating points in the next video.

I hope you enjoy watching this episode and see how I'm trying my best to become a FIDE Master. Don't forget to vote and follow me so you can follow my journey. Thanks for watching!

Bye for now,
Dovycola
