    Your looks and your voices are sexy baby 😘

    To sum it up, there were more donts than dos

    Thanks for sharing, this helps. The beautiful woman is a little distracting lol but the advice is great…

    Thanks so much for these basic tips. They are excellent.

    the right end pawn and left end pawn is for defensive opening where you also can come into a variant with the sodium attack!

    That Veronica Vaughn. Ya know, I knew a guy that GOT. IT. ON…

    Her voice is cute/annoying. Strange combo

    Coming from somebody who’s been playing since they were 8… very informative video keep it up!!

    Shouldn't someone be mansplaining chess to her? dws.

    Yeah, I'm thinking I won't be moving chess pieces until I leave South Dakota in September.

    I feel like I need to watch this every week.

    What does a person have to be good at with regards to their cognitive function?

    Normal Andrea 100x better than over the top shouty stream-character Andrea

    So much great advice. As a non-advanced player, this is the best chess lesson I’ve ever had! Thank you!

    These are great tips. I won't follow them mostly because I have zero patience and mostly want the game to end quickly so I can do something else like eating or drinking. It hurts my brain. Ow. I do like watching others play chess.

    This was really well done, I think it will help a lot of people, good job!

    Yeah I pretty much just wing it

    In the closed position knight vs bishop there are some mistakes. First of all the knight can just take the bishop on c6 instead of playing Na6. Also black could have played …a5 to keep the knight out of b4.

    I love her gaspy raspy voice. She sounds cute and a little sexy. It's adorable.

    Another important advice is to wear a nice miniskirt. Proper MakeUp is also relevant.

    When taking with pawns, take towards the King as the best option.

    Too fast…As a beginner I can't follow the explanation…but the scenery is lovely.

    I accept these are sound generalised tips for learners however I would like to point out that whilst castling early has always been good advice for beginners it has the potential to be a weakness too.

    Firstly, after an early castling your king has lost the opportunity to select which side to occupy. In situations where white castles first any carefully timed delay in castling by black can potentially gain some initiative from white (this is actually the main opportunity black has to negate the advantage white has with the first move).

    Secondly,. after castling you may potentially be placing your king into a situation where it is harder to defend. On the whole a castled king is better defended normally, however in the wrong position castling can lead to an early end to the king (usually with a pawn storm followed by an attack down the flank towards the king.

    Just to confirm I do understand this is just generalised tips for learners but some players never get to find out that these tips that help them as learners may also introduce weaknesses into their game if exploited at the right time.

    Andrea can you study and teach poker? I'm trying to advance my game but lose interest too quick 😴
    I'm like barely half interested in chess yet hung on to every word! ((inb4 simping))

    It took me years to learn all this. You guys are getting it in 10 minutes!

    D.M.

    Instructions unclear. I ended up baking a souffle.
