Why No Videos Past 3 Days + My Secret Confession

[@turvit82]

Fast recovery Brian!

[@AJFox-d8q]

Take the whole week, bro! We ain't going anywhere! Vacation, staycation, whatever you want to call it! We're golden!

[@harpAlmo]

Take some breaks! Life is shorter than you think. Your videos are a gift and no one should feel slighted if you take some breaks. I’ve been in serious burnout. It is seriously debilitating.

[@Timwars25]

Get better 😊 love from Canada ❤ I appreciate your help and support ☺️

[@00bikeboy]

Yikes, food poisoning is rough. Thanks for the update, Coffee Chess is one of my favourite channels 🖖

[@Le_wave]

Your dedication is awesome, but taking a day off is a great idea-rest fuels creativity. Wishing you a full recovery and sending good vibes your way from Germany!

[@diegovd7215]

Thanks Brian for all you do, wishing you a speedy recovery. Don't burn out, take care of yourself. Cheers :)

[@NickSondy12]

Whatever you need to do, do it. I've been watching for a while now & some of your content is classic. A real positive for the chess community overall. ( in my not so humble opinion). Please recover fully & feel 100% better. I look forward to your posts whenever you get back to it.

[@jeffbowen5099]

Feel better, and thank you for everything you do!

[@HappyPandaP]

I appreciate your videos, 6 days a week is plenty!

[@xnag78]

Rest more. Health most important. Get well soon.

[@marceloromero8896]

Thank you Brian. I appreciate your work and wish you a speedy recovery. I think you should take weekends off as the rest of us! It’ll make it more sustainable.

[@JiriBulin]

all i have to say is thank THANK YOU MILLIONS for posting as much as you have been. I will miss a new coffee chess video if one doesn’t come out but you and your crew will always have a special place in my heart regardless.

[@ericviall7086]

I was going to try and reach out to see what was up and wish the Coffee Chess team the best! Thank you for the update

[@martypowell2490]

Feel better! Look forward to your new videos when you’re ready

[@hideentity1518]

You made lots of people popular. Your work is a thing. It was quite annoying not to hear your analysis after games lately. But you know, do what you have to do first to feel good and fresh before anything else. Much appreciated for bringing this high class entertainment.

Speedy recovery from a big fan Brazil!

[@tapaticotapatico1462]

On behalf of the chess community, appreciate your commentary. We are the beneficiaries of your dedication and hard work. Thank you.

[@andredobbs5390]

I'm glad you're taking time every week to breathe and relax. Everything happens for a reason. What's for you is for you.

[@paulsmith634]

Dial it in bro - soon you will have a savvy intern who will take over!

[@syedjilaniqadri944]

I wait for your videos every day

[@cbryantbear6498]

Yes!

[@davewessell1814]

You can't pour from an empty cup my man, take care of yourself first! We will all be here when you're healthy and well. Thanks for the years of everything!

[@bluedemon777]

Your videos are a staple of every one of my mornings. Taking a day off a week for mental health should be a priority. Long as I get a video the other 6 days 😝

[@journosketch]

Get Well Soon Bro, and stay healthy☕

[@lukasblazek5225]

I was there. Take 2 days minimum, weekends are not here by accident. And dont feel bad if recovery will take longer than you expect, its part of process. Wish you the best.

[@Grandpa_Moses]

Feel better! Food poisoning is brutal. Best wishes and happy holidays!

I was rolling in bed for 2 weeks last year because of some random sickness, it was my best time in a long while, forgot my problems because of the stomach pain.

Dude! Take care of your mental health and take a day off a week. You deserve and need it! We'll still be here.

Hey good man! Thank you.

[@timdeweaver5513]

Glad your ok. I thought you might have been sick. I was a little worried. Health and happiness to you sir. I hope that you don't over work your aelf

[@paulg963]

Stay well, weekends off.

[@leasimleija1323]

Please take care of yourself. Even Chick-fil-A closes one day a week. Please take as many days per week as you need. Be well.

Sorry to hear that. Food poisoning sucks.

We love the videos but you choose your schedule. We’ll be here to watch them when you post them! Great work

[@546people]

I was worried. Just hope you are doing well.

[@FlokiPoki-we9gm]

Suck it up... we all miss our daily chess match. Na, just take the time you need... enjoy the Christmas Holiday.

[@SteveAbrahall]

Love your work dude, but yes burnout is a thing! So like why not take 2 days off a week, and maybe from xmass to new year and a bit find some time for yourself and family, may be get away for a few days - Obviously it would be great if you can Keep us informed about what your doing, but find whats right for you. Your the only one that can look out for you, so stay healthy and Thanks again for all your incredible hard work!

[@cameratool]

KZbin 101 : Keep a buffer of at least two weeks of videos finished and uploaded. Use the KZbin scheduling to publish them.

[@umeshpanjari3987]

Well when you do post, it will be worth the wait. Two videos minimum please :)

[@bhgtree]

Main thing is get better and secondly have a break every few days, burn out drains both body and mind.

[@pablocrisostomov8045]

No hay problema coffee Chess- te esperamos !!!! Saludos desde Chile

[@patrickedwards701]

Take a break. You deserve it.

[@mikeanderson9278]

That's why owners of companies have employees. One person can't do it all...

[@ChannelSwimmingScientist]

Getting sick for two days isn’t taking a break! Give yourself at least a day a week, if not two. At least schedule a video to release on your days off if you feel bad about it, but give your self some time buddy. Videos are great!

[@thedoctor787]

Y don't we c the Jedi knight n action anymore?

[@kevinhansman4511]

Thanks for posting all these videos. Enjoy watching them each day, definitely love the post game analysis.

[@jokebetweenthetrees]

Post every other day! Or take a weekend off instead of 1 day! Just luke normal people 😅 Hope you recover soon.

[@rogerlawter2036]

Agree 100%. Your reference is correct and the reason for the sabbath. I found years ago when I was running every day, taking one day off a week was better and healthier.

[@flipgsp]

Take the full weekend off like most people

[@stoatystoat174]

🥰 Look after yourself and have days off coffee chess dude

[@gordonparker1478]

Get better soon. We missed you.

1 day a week isnt enough. Just post like 3 times a week or something bro. Its all good

[@jackcityy718]

Im so sad to hear this. Feel better Brian. Hopefully we can see you back on the board wiping a few kings off the board with your lightsaber. A carlini vs brian duel won't hurt to start 😏 then a few Brian vs the infamous sue state would be interesting Lol but anyways brian get better soon I'll go and watch your videos vs monster mike til then

[@peterwieser4631]

Gonna miss the videos no doubt! But no way should you imperil your personal well-being to crank out at consistency levels for as long as you have. Totally agree with and will support your rehab agenda. In the meantime I'm going back to the archives of coffee chess and admiring a player who is gone but not forgotten. Big Tex rides again! Search Big Tex vs. Hawaiian Carlini. Wouldnt mind at all if Bryan shared classic archive games once a week if this helped get some respite, So much to choose from!

[@TheIceyeddy]

I really enjoy the coffee chess videos, but for the love of God, just take a day off a week. It really is no big deal to us viewers, and it will give you the rest you obviously need. Get better soon!

[@iampracticingpiano]

Perhaps something like a “Throwback Thursday” when you repost great games as one of the ways to get a break?

[@ilkkaheikkinen4291]

Such a huge task to perform on your own, Im shocked how long youve been able to do this! I dont think its too much to ask help from the others. And most of all: rest. Take care of yourself (goes to the rest of you, too). As someone already stated, we're not going anywhere 😊

[@danbeuscher9679]

But we love you for doing it!

[@TheDonFrancis]

[@iampracticingpiano]

You show much wisdom in what you said here-listen to your instincts and also know you are helping others find better balance in their lives.

[@embah42]

Taking a break is an important skill and apparently is a basic trait of successful people. A study of air traffic controllers showed that the people that burned out started their day already worrying about what could go wrong, they were exhausted by the time they got to work. The successful ATCs didn't think about work until they got there.

[@sunglassesron9464]

Get well soon! 👍

[@lokeijak]

Take care of yourself! I say 3 days of posting is good!

[@PJEFFERYJUVARASASINGAM]

Get well soon. Maybe delegate to others about posting, then you get your rest and we don't have any days which we miss the videos

[@noumaminolife9727]

Please take your time and get well. Thank you so much. ❤

[@solid_jr]

You had me worried there for a minute. I am not trying to downplay how big a deal this is to you and I really hope you can find that sweet spot and balance the videos and your life. But, as nice as it was for you to be up front with your fans, I don't think anybody is owed an explanation for a guy wanting to take a day a week. Pardon my directness but I think you're being way to hard on yourself. Having said that, your videos are just awesome. Different players/personalities each day, the analysis, the trash talking... It's all great. Thanks for all your hard work. I really appreciate it.

[@paulkilmartin787]

Your coffee chess production is top drawer, you can see the hard work you must put into them.❤

[@subliminal6969]

Love your videos and analysis! Take two days off a week!

[@gtzaskar6353]

Take the weekends off.

[@atomicbunny2076]

Stop saying "correct" ...and "yes"

[@cbp9510]

Brent, glad you're recovering. I have been there. You love what you do and you're really good at it, but it's draining and sooner or later, your system breaks down. You need at least one other person (ideally two) to share the load so that you can take 2 wk vacations, like normal people. Definitely start taking one or two days off per week until you get another person to share the load. Maybe get some of the higher profile players to come in and do guest commentary. Be well and take care!

[@calvinwright2214]

Take more than just one day. You really have to give yourself a proper buffer from burnout if you're going to continue to remain passionate. Better to take 2 for rest than 2+ for recovery.

[@Art4Fred]

[@awesterveld]

I never considered you were grinding so much and yes it sounds unhealthy so take good care of yourself. I read a good book it also said you need to have at least one sabbath day no electronics (no phone, computer, etc) no nothing just relaxing (not have to be religious) to reset your brain. Because of you I am thinking about it again I never did it consistently but I will try to do now again more consistently
