If you don't play chess, you are free to leave the class room for this particular video friends...

I know I know ….orange star means "develop pieces" , not "book move"..I know I said that wrong …please don’t hammer me

Sorry I ain’t been around much friends , been working a lot and in my free time trying to pull my chess game out of the gutter…hope everyone is fat and happy out there in Homeskoolin’ land

I’ll be back soon friends

In the meantime , just for one second let me bask in the glory of the that I FINALLY made a move that chess.com considered “brilliant” in a 10 minute game against a guy from Egypt

This is a big moment for a low rated player such as myself

Notes
Wow….700 episodes of the Homeskoolin’ progrum my dear friends (and that’s not even counting the other 900 videos that were considered "bonus videos" because they weren't good enough to be an actual "volume")

can you even believe we have come this far?

i will say it’s good to be back on the air after a brief hacking hiatus my dear Homeskoolers

This episode goes out to our friend Hot Carl

…and here's a fun trivia fact for all you TRUE Homeskoolers (i'm referring to the ones that Hot Carl thinks are REALLY creepy)

let it henceforth be noted in the annals of the Homeskoolin' archives that there will always be a void where an episode 699 WOULD have been.

This little detail is made even more interesting by the fact that Uncle Larry was trying to upload a DIFFERENT volume 699 at the precise moment the channel got hacked, but of course that particular video was aborted and never seen, so there were actually TWO failed attempts at a volume 699
