Immortal (Chess) Game - One 5-Minute Blitz Match + Splinterlands "Runi" In-Game Showcase - 1/3/2023

Another 5-minute blitz match, on the fourth day of "Week 24", plus possible attempt at 1-minute bullet (if match can be made within one minute deadline). Making consistent progress gradually climbing the ranks up past the 400th place threshhold (to earn at least 0.002 ETH for the week), which will be saved to purchase the next "The Unstable Horses Yard" NFT (on OpenSea).

Spending some time, in this video, exploring the "Runi" collection on OpenSea. The "Runi" are ETH-based NFTs which have in-game utility in Splinterlands. That is, ONE not only OWNS the "Runi" pieces, but - just like the Immortal chess pieces - the Runi can be played in the Splinterlands game, to earn the SPS utility token in Splinterlands. In this video, the first match using an owned and staked Runi (in the Splinterlands battle which it debuted last week) will be played, to show the Runi in action, as well as the resulting rewards from the won match (which is a "10% bonus" for "promo" card - as can be seen in the reward breakdown of the individual battle.) The clickable url of the actual Splinterlands battle is here:

Now watching the recent ChessVibes video (in five-minute viewing session alternating with gameplay):

Beware of the Goldsmith Defense!

Also, want to give a shout-out to the "Rage Quit Chess" channel, whose entertaining 1-minute bullet videos have been an inspiration for getting more seriously into bullet format - in "healthy" doses:

Sure hope that Swami @cryptogee ( https://peakd.com/@cryptogee/posts ) gets back to producing videos again soon...

The goal of this project is to document the PROCESS of "Play to Learn/Earn", while making a personal contribution to the chess community (online, and maybe even offline) ;-)
