    Helpful for a beginner like me. Thank you.

    you made it soo easy for me to learn you have cute voice loved it ……………..

    Broooooo I didn’t even know castling was a thing!!!

    Does it annoy anyone else that the last rule had the caption of 'Rule #9', instead of 'Rule #10'?

    Andrea, you're adorable!
    Yet very informative 🧐

    Thank you for the tips, i will always keep it in my mind

    Don't go too fast moving the pieces. Teaching is not about racing.

    New to channel, renewed interest in Chess- used to seeing Andrea being a loud child, an entertaining one but still– seeing Teacher Andrea is weird lol

    This lady has a husky voice… I am wondering if she's been smoking too many pink cigars.

    At 8:18 in the video you should have moved the knight from b4 to c6 to take the bishop. In addition to taking the bishop it would have been check

    can you pls do more of these lessons … coz i take those computerised voice lessons & they are tiring af…

    In the mr beast game he can take the knight with the bishop. Play h4, and kd2 and he has a great position

    Wow Andrea, I couldn't play you at chess lol between how pretty you are and the lovely sound of your voice I'd be so distracted I'd do a queens gambit on accident 😂🙌

    Thanks, I am a complete Chess n00b but I love Poker!!

    Did ya'll see when Darren Brown played played nine Masters and Grandmasters.

    I'm a complete beginner and these are the exact tips I need to up my game, it all makes so much sense when someone actually points it out

    Girls you are amazing, please support Ukraine. At least state about it in your videos. This is very important!

    good tips to explain the principals of chess but some of these tips have exceptions especially when moving to the intermediate to advanced chess. Like the queen out too early tip

    I love how the scrolling chat is spamming bot movesLOL

    Queen mains watching rule #4:
    "So you have chosen death"

    ty so much, i fall in the beginner state under 1000 rating lol. Noticed most of those tips just by playing the game but learned a few ! Main problem is hard for me to concentrate the whole game and forget some undefended pieces and lost most games that way on Lichess.

    These are amazing tips for beginners! I wish I had this information when I was learning in highschool 😊🙌📚🤩

    Shes pretty, shes smart and shes a great chess player!

    Y move the queen…put the knights and pawns…missiles and shot's

    This is the best beginner tips video I've found

    i m quite new to the chess and this video is gold, thanks Andrea!

    5:20 That B pawn looks tasty, but be careful not to Botez Gambit on your next move lol

    Omg her voice is so sweet, It feels she’s my older sister
