Thanks for the great video!
I always knew it as Knights on the rim are dim… at least until you need to ignore the principles. EXCELLENT VIDEO! It would take a beginner time to read enough to absorb these principles you encapsulated in 18 minutes.
Example of play by 'breaking basics' sometimes pawn captures away from center to open columns for attacking pieces.
Bravo! Gracias
Well done!
This is what I've been looking for to pass on to people who want to do more than play 'hope chess'! The absence of this basic material from the educational tenets of the chess curriculum is now chronic. I was taught this 'reasoned' way more than 50 years ago.
I routinely check out chess videos (purportedly made for beginners, novice, and advancing players) to recommend to people so 'I' don't have to teach them, and in all that time I never once heard mention of these tenets as 'chess principles' which is how I teach.
Its a bad teacher that attempts to impress their students by evidence of jargon and rubric, and that's what most competent chess players do. They teach the movement of the pieces and then jump straight into abstracted strategy with no mention of when or why.
You never hear anybody bother to explain what or why you should do things in chess that are generally advantageous any more. The facility of foundations is assumed premature or past due, as it were needing no apparent explanation or not for beginners at all.
I teach principles to beginners, first and foremost, who otherwise would be asking the same questions…why?
I do play hope chess against my wife becouse it usually works. Then she get mad and i hope i will get the box that day.
Thank you
Queen out fast
I appreciate this so much! I'm gonna be 31 this year and decided I wanna try this out. Thank you for spending your time making this and putting it on here

whats going on at 10:37
3:14 in portuguese π΅πΉ π§π· we say: cavalo na beira? Ta de brincadeira!
Ive never played chess but this is a great video! Very easy to understand. Great job.
I used to play chess, unaware of Principle #33. No wonder the other player kept winning. Thanks for this video, now I have more chance lasting longer in the game.
Principal number 5 U COULD'VE WON
I guess knight is sick
I watch this video when I have some bad matches and my game improves suddenly. Happens every time.
Nelson, love your teaching videos. This question does not relate to this video, but I hope you see it and can produce a short video as an answer. I know it is always good to place the opponent's king in check, but when is it not good to do so. For instance, if the king can simply move out of check and you've wasted a move and lost tempo. Thanks!
This is the 1st helpful video on chess that I've seen. Every other one goes so fast and assumes I understand all the terminologies. I've only been playing a couple months and this video is very helpful. Subbed.
@15:44 #33 dont set up ur 64 square arena in the wish a ninja woods π€£π€£π€£
no cap u should chop all of these up into shorts or tik toks…if u havent already, anywho new subscriber here. keep bangin'
It's been a long time since I've seen such a good tutorial video
Very great and informative video. Thanks for uploading.
Valeu!
In principle no. 28, what if black moves the other knight in front of the pawn ?
Great vid π
Excellent advice! Thank you for this.
beautiful! Thank you!
Thanks for the vid
I did not find 1 useful principal in this video
bro nobody plays pawns for their first 79 moves
Tips in watching this video:speed it up so it won't be slow bc it saved my life
My Elo is an eye-watering 400, but I guess this taught me at least one new thing.
really enjoyed
My favourite thing is being down in material, but checkmating with what I have. Being up two rooks doesnt matter, when kniggt an queen can easily checkmate a cornered king
Awesome recap! increased my elo on lichess drastically!!
I never beat all the cats! I went to see ai added. I'll be watching all of these clips because I found a channel that uses the new chess app and am great ful for it thanks
I'm on 1400 and still accel on my own
Okay if youβre down material, you said to trade pawns off but then you said you DONT want to trade pawns offβ¦? Then you said to rewatch it. To confirm that you said that. I think you mightβve mistaken your position, idk
No. 13 (don't trade bishops for knights) is good advice but the example he shows is the trompowsky attack where that is the entire idea of the opening, so maybe a different visual example could have been used. Great video nonetheless.

Got bricked up 7 mins in had to stroke it for a minute back to learningπ
I have a theory that bishops > knights is only true at high level competition. Against lower level competition, players routinely fail to see a devastating knight fork coming.
