keep it up! i like this new format. the editing was good too -- i like seeing that second or two before you click, where you choose between a few moves.
Authentic, felt like sitting on the sidelines and watching a live game. Personally, I would love to have a very short reflection at the end. The cursor did most of the talking for you. Felt fresh. The shortness made it easy to watch. Maybe every 5 episodes have a recap or analysis. Like a weekly reflection.
First song was absolute fire! I usually watch your videos before sleep as they tire myself out quickly and the song was a nice touch to wind down. I prefer commentary but this is interesting too
Hey Contraband, I like that you're trying new things, especially with the new 9 dan challenge I can understand trying to focus and not commenting. Maybe analysing it afterwards could be an answer so we can get the commentary "during the game". Anyways, great content as always
Was interesting to watch because I had to try to figure out your plan without being told. That being said, it felt ballsy to play away from your center group twice. I thought you were going for an intentional exchange, but then you came back to save it and it felt scary there for a moment. Was this all your intention?
I messed up on the left so I was in a bad position, if I defended, the right would be too big and if I gave the center away I would be behind, so I was forced to try and do both. I don’t think I was in too much trouble of dying but I was worried for a bit lol and after I live there I’m ahead the rest of the game.
I think you got a bit lucky there. That white group in the middle got to live and then in the end he blundered and you used it to kill him. Regarding the format, I think it's ok for a change if you're having a lazy day, but I definitely prefer your commentary.
The white group was never in danger of dying but if he played right I should have been about 10 points down and after I lived I was ahead the rest of the game. And I make these videos for free pretty much so I don’t think I can have a lazy day.
Nah music is nice for us. If there is no commentary, that's a point on muting. Maybe just adding in the title there won't be comment, so people with their own music know to mute ;)
Trying something new, let me know what you think

Sounds good, I’ll see if I can add that

Maybe this is good for Dan players, but not for Kyu ones. I always found your commentary very useful. I miss it.
Ah ok, im just trying new things, but will still do the normal ones.

DId you capture the big black group in the top left?
Yes i did. he resigned on my last move.

Nice game but please stop the music. I like to listen to my own music - not the music that you chose.
There is a way to mute it
