    Just started playing chess with my brothers. Going to use these tips to get an advantage over them haha

    Going to go try out on a chess tournament on my school in 3 days without any prior knowledge of how to play good at chess
    Gib tips

    Is it too late for someone over 30 to learn chess? How long does it typically take someone to reach an ELO rating of 2000?

    Simple, great tips explained clearly. Nice one. 😊

    Amazing video. Simple principles that can be used immediately without hurting your brain.

    You fall into quite some stereotypes but once you open your mouth, it's a great relief lol

    So yesterday I tried steps one and two, but my opponent started attacking with her knight right away and took a knight and my queen. I was able to come back and win, but I felt I did something wrong in positioning all these pieces out. Any advanced thoughts on this further development?

    One of the best shortest chess videos I've ever seen… You taught a lot in a small amount of time!!! Thank You

    I suck so much, I needed 6 games, 3 of which AFTER seeing this video, to beat level 7 in "Simply Chess"… FeelsBadMan

    Personally, I don’t like castling, my dad taught me it was the most important thing to do but it can’t just be trapped so easily that to me, It’s pointless, rather, be unpredictable when you can because hood chess players think ahead via inferring your next moves.

    This is the hottest chess player I've ever seen legit

    She's obviously a great chess player, but she got the voice of a young Justin Beiber, lol. Kinda cute, ngl (something I never thought I'd say)

    I dont want a girl to tell me what to do.

    Great video, really easy to understand and noticed my game has improved a lot by following these principles! Thanks!

    Also this can all change depend on the other person strategy. It could all be broken so easily and made to change. Not necessarily the tips i was looking for 😅🤣

    Open up by moving 1 pawn (the ones in front of the king and queen) towards the center of the board.
    Start developing pieces first bishops and knights and then the queen and the rooks all towards the center in order to make room for castle! Castle is perfect when both bishops and knights are developed.
    Don t move pawns that are in front of where you want to castle only 1 square at max (Dont move the pawn that is in front of where king arrives especially this one shouldn't be moved)
    Its better to trade pawns from the side towards the center especially towards the 2 vertical lines in front of king and queen.
    Dont double pawn but if it s needed should be done also towards the center
    Castle before starting to attack
    When you don t know what to do look at pieces that could be improved even further and start improving their position
    Do not take out the queen early there s no need for that! The trade might be good after all the other pieces are developed!
    Use double rook rook and queen in vertical lines to create ways to attack! It s better if it s done from the middle of chessboard. Also try putting them on open or semi open files (a file is a vertical line on the chessboard being open means it s no pawn being semi-open means it s a pawn there)
    In the endgame(when queens are out especially) start moving your king!
    Bishops are better to keep when it s open board and knights when it s crowded!

    God doesn’t want anybody in hell because He loves us, but you must understand why we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go there. He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteous, but rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). We’re not sinners because we sin, but rather we sin because we’re sinners. Sin is the nature of our flesh that we are born with due to the sin of Adam in the garden. For someone to be justified before God they have to be sinless. We’ve all sinned (Romans 3:23), and the the law demands death for those who sin (Romans 6:23). God is righteous, so He must punish our sin, which is what He did through His Son Jesus Christ on the cross. Jesus is Holy and sinless, yet He received our sin when He died on the cross, so that we can be righteous before God (2 Corinthians 5:21). When He died on the cross, He said “It is finished” (John 19:30), which means He paid the full price for all of your sins (past, present, and future) to be forgiven. He was buried and rose again from the dead. God will forgive anybody who puts their full trust in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. We aren’t saved based on our good deeds, but only by the grace of God (Ephesians 2:8-9). His precious blood that He shed is the only reason why we can be forgiven of our sins (Hebrews 9:22). If you confess that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised Him from the dead, then you’ll be saved (Romans 10:9). You are born-again with the Spirit of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), and are not only legally justified before God, but also are accredited His righteous (Romans 4:24). Believers live for Christ now, so get to know Him through His Word. I recommend reading the book of Romans and the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), and watching Pastor Joseph Prince’s online sermons!

    God bless you Botez sisters exponentially in all aspects of life; Merry Christmas 😍😘
