These are linked to the individual posts if exploring the old archive and also captured on <a href=https:\/\/www.gmpuzzles.com\/blog\/solving-videos-shared-with-supporters-prior-to-2020\/>this page<\/a>. These were filmed with earlier techniques, so some have slightly worse visual\/audio quality than we are trying to achieve now, but there is a lot to learn by exploring the videos. I will soon have a new document camera to improve my recording even more, and next year may even try some new kinds of videos like blind solves of competition puzzles and also &#8220;basic rules and info&#8221; videos for the puzzle styles to better introduce beginners to a new style including its history and basic constraints. Tell us what you&#8217;d like to see from future solving videos. <\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll be taking the next two weeks off to organize our Best of 2020 list and prepare for the start of 2021 puzzles. 2020 has been a full (if challenging) year, with me starting a new job in March and having a lot more responsibilities in leading a large team advancing immunology assays as potential diagnostic tests across diseases. But by adding Serkan Y\u00fcrekli as our Managing Editor, we together got back to posting 30 straight weeks of puzzles, with at least 2 solving videos each week, and also released 7 new books of puzzles. We have a lot to come in 2021, including more books, the implementation of more routine online solving, a new puzzlemaster and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This was our last week of puzzles for 2020.
