    Thank you SO much! I just started chess a month ago and I have been stuck at like 500 elo losing every game. But now I am on a winning streak and have gained almost 250 elo!

    Intelligence is attractive. And this was a good "don't forget"-video for beginners. Thanks. Good job.

    Andrea: Never move you queen too early
    The Scholar Mate: Am I a joke to you?

    finally think i understand what open/closed positions are now, thanks

    If the attack is brutal no need to worry about covering the king right away

    Your voice sounds like my chimney (no offense, I like chimneys)

    We usually see such caotic scenes from Andrea but here she's being such a great teacher. I loved this vid!

    Queen: gone
    King be like: my time to shine ヽ( ͝° ͜ʖ͡°)ノ

    Those sporadic quick close ups of Andrea making her point are awesome, pro level editing.

    6:28 theres literally a pawn break to open up the center there

    (If im right)

    Excellent advice for beginner humans who want to think and try to play like an advanced human. What blows my mind is watching videos of AI programmes beating into a pulp the best chess engines, which in turn can beat any grandmaster. The AI doesn't seem to follow many of these 'rules' and doesn't seem to put a value of 3 on a bishop or 5 on a rook. It just plays the best moves to win. Good video, but it rather comes across as "This is how chess should be played. These are the rules" – whereas we have already been taught that there is a level of chess way beyond the capabilities of any human brain.

    Thank you. This was a good and easy to understand explanation.

    My tip is to first consider the forcing moves: checks, snacks and attacks

    Here there is the titeless screaming sister giving us advices on chess.

    You look like mia khlifa in that thumbnail

    only reason i watched this is because she’s hot

    I learned nothing from this

    8:18 you could HAVE TOOK THE BISHOP ANDREA!!!! YOU MISSED IT !

    3:57 "they are leaving this pawn undefended"…hm, very debatable..depending where the castle will go..at that moment h3 was defended by 2 pieces :-)…rule #8 probably the crucial one to become more than average player

    I agree the fact that being a chess player this is one the most important video i ever watched this is perfection

    So this is what she thinks when she says "bang-bang-bang" 😀
    This video entertained me a lot i could immerse in the tactics… i mean im 1700-1800 but she spoke so interestingly i even took notes about the strategies i already knew… ok rule 3: i should not push kingside pawns 👀 😀
    This calm edicational style also suits her hope she will stick with that.

    ……awesome! (ok….i was thinking…."i can't watch this IT'S FOR BEGINNERS……..")(HOWEVERRRRRRRRRRRRR, i was soooo pleased!!!!!!!!!!!!! you're a great chess communicator/teacher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! niccccccccccccce!!!!!!!) great reminders! and , totalllllllllllly enjoyed this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)))))))))))))))

    I will never tire of this game because I play every match with Tal's philosophy. Mikhail Tal > Quotes

    “You must take your opponent into a deep dark forest where 2+2=5, and the path leading out is only wide enough for one.” …

    “There are two types of sacrifices: correct ones, and mine.” “To play for a draw, at any rate with white, is to some degree a crime against chess.” Forever grateful Mr Tal.

    I came here trying to learn about chess, but holy hell her voice is hot 😳

    wszystko w pigułce i na temat. Jeszcze w grze żeby to zastosować to było by pięknie. 🙂

    Goddamn Andrea just got hotter

    dont expect to understand something from someone very weak

    I will marry this girl. 💘😻💜💛💚
    Is she married.
    I understood something.
    Thank u.
    I love u.
    Will u marry me. 💘

    For some reason I find your voice extremely beautiful… Also reminds me of some actress, but can't remember which one……..

    I never knew chess could be so 🔥.

    Really accurate. I learned it when i was 16 when i start to play with stronger opponent.

    interesting, but this voice sounds awful to my french ears (sorry)

    Andrea, I love your voice. Powerpuff Girl with a sprinkle of a saw chewing steel sheets.

    On the queen out too early white forked itself

    AMERICAN SPEAKERS SOUND SO COOL AT 0.5X SPEED. ONLY CLICKED FOR THE THUMB. WHATS CHESS?
