    Do pokemon pack openings, ur voice is as addicting

    I don't think she yells. New York people are just loud because it's a noisy place.

    You guys play just like me, I was taught by a master who went by the name Mr. Vinny, I always play chess, even in online games. Would be great to play one of you guys, I have beat masters locally before. Anyways, that aside, very beautiful both of you, you make chess very sexy! Smart is always more attractive!

    When she was moving the bishop back and forth to show the knights move at one point the bishop could have been taken by the knight.

    Did anybody else notice that it said Rule #9 whenit was rule #10?

    You explain chess well. But your politics is as backward and dysfunctional as a communistic professor who is too dysfunctional to make a dime in the free market.
    We are not going to be able to save our individual liberty because students today are only taught from the opposite of individual liberty, communism. Yea, they call it moving forward or progress. Don't give up your life and your brain to a bunch of dysfunctional baby sitters. It never works out well, and I promise you can do better in what is left of our free market than the poverty you are promised. You have a long way to go. Sue your schools.

    More Close Ups please, helps to make one feel one is sitting across the board from Andrea.

    I'm pretty sure youtubes algorithms mixed up F1 Bottas with GM botaz. Subbed!

    Super useful. Finally i know things lol also your voice is adorable

    I have a huge crush on Andrea. . . Send help.

    I’ve been trying to get better at chess for a long time, it’s hard to learn from watching the streams since Andrea and Alex play so fast and at such a high level, but this makes it super easy and comprehensive. Well done Andrea.

    😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

    Her: don’t take your queen out, don’t push your king side pawns, make sure to castle…
    Me: plays kings gambit-

    Chess is boring.
    To make it exciting again,
    add 2 more squares behind the Kings and Queens;
    add 2 more squares on the 4th & 5th rank.
    Now, let the fireworks commence…

    I'm gay and don't want to raise the child you're carrying. This is where I get up from the game and let the clock run out.

    Bishops, knights first
    Castle before you attack
    Don’t push your kingside pawn
    Don’t take out your queen too early
    Trade side pawns for center pawns
    Avoid doubling pawns
    Use open files and connect rooks
    Improve your pieces when you don’t know what to do
    Bishops are good in open positions, knights are good in closed positions, so trade accordingly
    Activate your king in the endgame…closer to the pawns…or to the center.

    She has a cute little voice I like it, this was really helpful thank you!

    These strategies have never helped me improve.

    After watching the video I won 3 games straight 😂

    I play chess also here in Manila Philippines love your videos 😍 from Manila Philippines

    Rule number 11 :
    Remember that chess isn't a game of fix rules n u can't base it on rules to follow

    Rule number 11, don't play according to the "template" but check every move!
    Example 8:17 you can simply capture the bishop from b4, with check !! Things like that are easy to miss when playing stenciled!
    A very good Video for beginner! Thx!!

    You should really hear Andreea speaking on a 2-speed type video. Hahaha too funy! Enjoy!

    I suck at chess, my games tend to be reactionary as I rarely have an attack plan or any plan for that matter. I can beat the bots on chess.com up until the 1600 mark. Thats when Im way out of my depoth it seems. I can see attacks coming but cant seem to do anything about it.

    I must say. if you only want to watch girls just go directly to phub or find a girl irl. if you want to learn beginner chess go to danny's speedrun (seach on youtube "danny's speedrun"). the series is titled speedrun but it's actually a beginner guide. thank me later.

    Agree with most accept for castling being a more aggressive player castling is something more defensive players do and I play accordingly.

    Rule 3a: Push kingside pawns when you can gain space to attack yourself, while opponent's position is so cramped that he can't attack you

    This young woman just seems like an absolute sweetheart who breaks a lot of hearts.
