    this is a really good video. I am going in my first tournament in a month and I found some info that I sometimes forget.

    Am putea avea si câteva video uri in română!?Ar fi de mare ajutor!!!Multumesc anticipat!👍🇹🇩🇹🇩🇹🇩😊

    great teaching skills here. anyway, "fianchetto" is an italian word and when there is a "ch" it sounds like a "k": so it should sound "fianketto"

    Super informative. Ive been trying to teach my girlfriend how to play chess and I just showed her this video. After first admiring how pretty Andrea is she started to focus on what Andrea was actually saying lol and then proceeded to checkmate me in 19 moves😂 im totally joking but even i learned a bit from this video. Ill hit that point where I don't want to push a random pawn and ruin my pawn structure and all my pieces are nicely protecting each other and so I won't know where to go from there. But this video helped me in the sense of trying to develop a piece that hasn't moved yet or try to improve my own position and let my opponent be aggressive and hopefully make a mistake. Great video. I love when people don't waste 3 minutes telling me to like and subscribe. Get right to the point of the video and have the video actually be very informative. Great video👍I liked and subscribed anyway without being told to do so. Would you look at that

    Great video with sound chess advice!! Keep up your great work! Thank you.😇

    Thank you for helping a beginner pick up the basics!

    It was a really really nice video for chess beginners. Thank you Andrea❤️

    Now she will also teach beginners.Lol🙏🙏

    I've had a 30 year hiatus from chess and I now realise how terrible I am. Videos like this really help so thank you

    File in English is columna en español and rank in English is fila en español… I’m confused and confundido.

    The king should be Theoden from Lord of the Rings: cautiously sitting in his hall at the beginning, but ready to ride for ruin and the world's ending by the end!

    If you want us to learn something from this video, stop being so cute!

    very useful advice from one who is wise beyond her years

    You really have an amazing unique voice. Only just caught a few of your videos with your sister and through Ludwig content. But your voice just stands out in every video. 🙂

    when you aren't screaming as much, you're an excellent teacher. thanks for this

    Andrea has such an adorable voice. I could listen all day long. 🙂

    How can I 'improve my pieces' when opponent is restricting my moves?? What to do at that time??

    Another rule of thumb is to try to trade pieces off when you're up material.

    Andrea is so beautiful. It hurts my heart lol. But this is super helpful. Thank you!

    Don't bring your queen out too early?! Bro, do you even chess? lol 😛

    Thank you with this advise I've doubled my ELO now I'm at 400 ELO!

    Thank you for the help!
    I really want to beat my grandpa
    Just once 😂

    I watched this video and apparently I'm not a beginner

    Rule no 3. Don’t get high off you’re own supply

    There are definitely exceptions within perfectly normal theory to the "don't push kingside pawns" rule. For example, Yugoslav attack for white (where you castle queenside into the dragon) and the main line King's Indian defense as black (you wanna make a chain of d6-e5-f4 and eventually even g3), the locked center keeps your king safe while you use the kingside space to attack white. I think that rule should be centered more around king safety overall, which doesn't necessarily mean you can't push on the kingside as long as your kind is safe for different reasons like a locked center.
