Welcome fellow chemists. I am The Animated Chemist! You will find instructional videos on general and organic chemistry along with the occasional I-just-felt-like-making-it videos. The instructional content is designed for students in high school and those enrolled in general chemistry or introductory level organic chemistry at university level. The videos I make for myself come from whatever happened to inspire me to think about a bit longer.
If you are interested in a personalized animation for study purposes, to teach a course, or to present at at conference, please get in touch: animchemtxtbook@gmail.com.
I just came by your channel. What I find most interesting is how many people liked your Chess video then all of your Chemistry videos. This is my first video. I'm sure that isn't a surprise. 🤪
This is a complete list of every possible move, however it is not a complete list of every possible PNG move. You fail to take into account moves for you would need to distinguish which of multiple pieces of the same type move to a square
Great video! Just watch your animation style. This is very clearly using the 3Blue1Brown style and it’s just not a great look. At least change up the font and text animation style.
As I can see the chess videos do much better than the chemistry. Congratulations! This is although why I got here, but then I found your series on Mass Spectroscopy and I'd really like to see a sort of this videos about NMR, if that is possible. Anyway, nice work! I will keep an eye on your chanal.
NMR is on my list of things to do for chemistry but I said the same thing to myself 2 years ago. Definitely possible but I teach high school level so I would probably have to leave a lot more of the "why?" out for NMR than I did for IR/MS. I can reveal the only thing written in the script (file created in 2022) says "Welcome fellow chemists" so I suppose that's more than nothing but you might be waiting a while!
A small correction: The bishop has eight less moves than what you said. When moving a bishop from the corner of the board to the other corner, you can not create a check (nor checkmate) since the bishop was already watching the exact same squares. And of course you can't create a discovered attack by moving a piece from the corner of the board ;) Edit: Oops
Not only that, if the number of games played/month drops that will affect it as well. It's been about 18 months since Lichess last had a 100M game month.
Hi I think you are missing a lot of moves. There are situations where multiple piece can move on the same square, so you have to specify using rank or file (or in very special cases both). So Rf5 can have different forms like Raf5, Rbf5, Rcf5, ...
y didn't mention the disambiguated moves(like Ngh4 and Nfh4), I think they should count as they're written down and recorded differently from just Nh4, different positions matter anyway
I used the series which ranks reactivity by standard electrode potentials found here (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactivity_series). If you have a different list/order, it can still be used in the manner I demonstrated.
5:32 Another error here. If king move started from the corner, you can't discovered check because the corner square isn't blocking anything. And for squares next to corners like a2, the only line you are blocking is the a file. So for you to discovered check there, your rook or queen must be on a1, and black king must be on the a file. Which means you can't move your king to a1 or a3 from a2 and discover a check or checkmate. Considering these cases, you should remove 12 no capture + moves from corner starting moves, and 16 no capture + moves from square-next-to-corner starting moves. The same goes to no capture #, capture +, and capture #, so you'll have to remove 28×4 = 112 moves there Edit : Oh wait nvm he explained it
4:19 No no no no You can't check or checkmate while moving a bishop from a1 to h8 or a8 to h1 or in the other direction as it attacks no more squares. Even discovered check is impossible there as you started from the corner. Edit) Oh wait nvm he explained it
