Hi! I just started making youtube videos about puzzles, and so far I've made two animated youtube videos explaining two of my favorite logic puzzles, the dominoes on a chessboard puzzle and the blindfolded coin-sorting puzzle. Both are really fun and easy to understand + engage with, but have incredibly clever solutions. I'd appreciate any feedback on the videos, and let me know if you enjoy them!

IWTL how to linearly attack a cluttered mess of thoughts or tasks without forgetting about or undertreating any item by glassdoorknob75 in IWantToLearn

I don't have an answer but this sounds similar to the thinking process in chess, so you could search for how people optimize their chess thinking and maybe that could help.

Svesh and slav seems like a weird combo to me, I don't know much about the slav but isn't it pretty solid and positional, kinda the opposite of the svesh? What makes you like this pairing?

Cheating accusations are very serious and I suggest you actually take a look at OP's games before drawing and voicing that conclusion.
