tl;dw

Creator of the video uses the standard chess notation, which encodes if a move

  - is a capture
  - is a check
  - is a checkmate
  - needs a disambiguation
  - and other things
It is arguable how much the rest of the board is part of a move (see the current top comment), but let's say moves are different if their standard chess notation is different.

Then it turns out that bishop double disambiguation moves are very rare. They require 2 same color bishop underpromotion for the start. And they doing captures and/or checkmates are even rarer. A lot of them never ever happened on lichess.

That's about the content. Now about the format.

The video features hands expressive hands all along, which makes it stimulating to watch. If you are into presentation, go and check it out.
