Nice💗💗💗
Wow. Tried this and I was dominating my next game. He had almost no development. Then he made one move and check mate. I'm playing level 600 elos. This just increased my belief that I'm stupid and now I want to commit suicide.
This video was the key to leveling up my chess game
I would Queen to A5. It unpins the queen puts in check and if they move knight to block then I am free to take the knight on E4 because I am no longer pinned. The other way you are just Queen swapping.
Very fast talking.
Hello, I have really enjoyed listen to your tips and teachings on chess. I am a 69 yo guy who was diagnosed with cancer 2 years ago. I decided to return to the game of chess that I had not played since I was a teenager. It is a wonderful game. I enjoy playing 5 min games. Many thanks for your top notch UTube videos.

This was an interesting lesson, however you sound as if English isn’t your native langue, therefore you really should slow down.
tutorial for upgrading yourself from 250 to 300 and then back to 200
You have the most useful chess videos ever!!! I just got from 1300 to 1500 in blitz by learning some of the opening lines you show in your videos. And I remained at 1500. Thanks.
pawn h6.
🙃💪👍
you are the best teacher i have found online
Black's moves: Q-e5?
👍👍
Nice, seeing 5 moves ahead is really cool. My dad was into chess, big time. I was playing chess by 7 years old. My dad played Bobby Fischer at a chess club in Chicago, where Bobby went from table to table, and was blindfolded, so he made all his moves by knowing where every piece on the table was without looking, which is extremely impressive.My dad got down to the last pawn, and Bobby won, but the point of this is that my dad taught me to play the same way you are teaching, to always look for an attack to keep the pressure on, and to always have a strong defense.Always think of defense 1st. Great video, I really enjoyed it.

With this example surely black will just use his pawn to capture the white bishop once white takes black's horse? Why would black use the queen?
This is excellent stuff, making you think a layer deeper
Wooow, these 3 rules changed my whole game instantly. I am back to enjoying it.
Great video thanks! I’m always playing too passively
This will help my game – which isn't saying much 🤔
I agree with the 1st rule 100%, but into the certain position maybe we can have some compensation for it, because we are going to create isolated pawn.
nice
what about h6 attack on Bg5?
I am a beginner and I am not saying this is the best option but at 5:50 you could have moved your pawn at h7 to h6 so their bishop would have to take pawn but if i did the rook would take the bishop if I am wrong please correct me
Offense is defense, and defense is the most important thing. Makes sense but also feels like it doesn't.
superb… how to join your course?
offense wins the games
I'd never heard "to take is a mistake" until you said it…and just by following that one thing, I've been getting stronger. Now I ask the question…am I helping my opponent? Does my opponent want to get rid of this piece because it is hindered? I love it. Thanks!
I had that "what the eff just happened" face when the moves were revealed in the end… !
5:41 why not pawn to h6?
Black and white are both missing a pawn and It doesn't seem lime them being captured was possible
I can't wait to attack 😅
I’m a complete newcomer to this so much detail but very interesting
8:32 canplay Qa5+ then wecan go for pressure into our opponent
😍
4:45 "How do you play here if you are black?" Botez gambit! Hang the queen by moving the knight.
7:26 I found a really nice move here Nxe4 with the idea that if they take your queen you take their knight forcing them to give up their queen too and the opportunity to castle and like that the king is unsafe and you can win tempo easily
Edit: you explained another move similar to mine but I'm really happy with my find
Edit: my move was not as good as I thought it'd be because I also need to sacrifice my right to castle sadly
Wow this is a fantastic video. Very very helpful for someone just getting into chess like myself, you really helped me understand some of the hidden nuances of chess besides just moving pieces one turn at a time!!
Hilarious, next game i played after watching this video, skipped eating a pawn and created a small problem instead. My opponent got confused and committed a blunder. Game over.
Where can i download this game it's nice, what's it name on play store
Thanks boo
That was really gooood

What i remember from my chess coach: Always check the king it might be mate.😂
Now I’m a professional
