    Brilliant and very immaculately explained in a simple language!!

    wtf is she talking about i thought you supposed to just make it up

    I'm a new player and your videos really support me

    Proverbs 31:30 "Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.":

    Nice video, thank you.
    What's up with your voice? Too much party last night…..??

    i never castle early because as soon as I do the opp just attacks my king side and im done. I have a strategy where I think the middle game is the end game, my King comes to battle with me all the time. Hes a great wingman. I honestly think castling is overated. Your second strongest piece should not hide in a corner use him like the kKING he is.

    It is nice that they take the effort of making a video for beginners, regardless of it being on a fee channel or not. It would be understandable if they could not be bothered and stick to master level chess as that is their level. Fact of the matter is way more people are at beginner and intermediate level so by sharing educational videos on those levels, they are able to help far more people advancing their chess skills.

    This is one of my favorite subscriptions. These girls are really really good. Thank you for the advice.

    I hope this gets read even though the video is a year old. I'm 68 years old and have not played chess since the 70s. On a good day I was only mediocre so your tips are very useful. Thank you for the help. Am watching your videos now.

    literally the same site shes playing this on has the exact same lesson, very lazy

    thank you so much bc i am someone who really wants to get better at chess

    the way you move your mouth and your pronounciation is damn sexy <3 (fianchetto is pronounced phianketto)

    Sometimes I rush then regret it , if ur impulsive, you'll mess up , patience is what I try to use to my advantage

    Thanks for the pointers. I returned to the game after watching Queens Gambit. I'm really enjoying watching chess videos especially the young pre teen kids, they're so smart.

    I am pretty sure my enemy already watched this…. Oh Gosh, chess is so hard. My brain is just so torn…

    The more i play chess, the more i recognize how stupid homo sapien I AM… I feel like i want to leave my body like a soul and get a fork and carve my brain until it bleeds

    Great, maybe now I can get my chess rating up from 800 to 801.

    My buddy and I box and he suggested we try a match of chess boxing. Hes a weight class above me so I have to checkmate him if I want to win.

    Rule no 4. Like in every relationship: Do not take your queen out to early!

    OMG, a RELEVANT video from these PEOPLE that actually IS PURE EDUCATION.

    THIS IS OUTSTANDING in every single way. Thank you for making chess mainstream again.

    Andrea, you are beautiful without all that makeup, stop pretending.

    so a lot of people do a bad job with beginner tutorial videos (any subject) becsue they assume viewers know terminology. I really liked how you gave a term and then explained it. Great job!

    you can attack better from the side pawns if u know what u are doing, it is risky but a good rush tactic..

    It so nice to see helpful chess videos that aren’t over 20-30 mins long. Very to the point and super helpful thank you!

    Damn you have absolutely cute voice ❤️🥰🥰

    This is the best tutorial I've seen for chess, straight to the point

    This was so helpful! I just started playing, and these are very useful. Thanks!

    Great content for beginners! Last tip I figure out by myself and I am winning a lot of lost games by it! =)

    I swear someone told me you can only castle on King’s side. is that true? (Pls help, i just learned how to play)
