    The best feeling is when you have no time left on the clock and the opponent stalemates you😁

      A variation to that is when you have 1 second left (in a game with no increments) and even if you have a queen and maybe a knigth or a pawn or even more pieces, you know you won't be able to checkmate before you lose on time...
      but then you sacrifice the queen taking the opponent's last piece, meaning that even though you'll run out of time it will be declared a draw and not a defeat because there's only the enemy king left so there's not enough material to checkmate you in any way

    Always remember just because the king can't move doesn't always make it a stalemate...if that was the case then every game would start off as a stalemate, because neither king can move on the first turn.

    I love the format, but I have one recommendation. At the start of such videos it would be useful to say that in all of these puzzles all white pawns move up, all black pawns move down (if that is the case). I, myself picked it up by puzzle 5,
    I believe. but for some people those unnatural piece placements may be somewhat confusing :)

    For future checkmate/stalemate puzzles, it might be useful (for the later ones in the group of 10) to keep the number of pieces on the board relatively low and instead decrease the time limit (perhaps to 7, 5, then 3 seconds), to help give people practice and thinking quickly about the positions.
