Been playing for many years–never took the time to really study the game or watch videos like this. Wish I had. I've figured out most of these principles on my own through years of trials and tribulations haha
Chess has more variations than anyone can comprehend. It's OK to experiment and throw the rules out!
That one tip of waiting for the pawns to get close in on your king and then blockading them in just helped my win a game. My rating is 980 and I just beat a 1100 with just that tip. It felt good to remember it and use it in a game. What a great feeling of not having to go into panic when the pawns swarm to my king pawns guarding the king.
Such a great video. Thank you so much for all the effort you put into creating it
Cheers π
Thanks for sharing πππ₯°π€©
Great video! Sometimes on Youtube people will show these Gambits based on "hope chess". The idea that your opponent will make a totally stupid move that is below 600 ELO rating. I get annoyed and ignore these fake gambit videos.
Principle 35 is double edged!!!

Best informational video for chest and helpful information. If you came across so far, thank you sir!
Really needed this π―π
Excellent presentation, very clear and precise!
Just played several games following as many of these principles as I possibly could at any given time. I kept the last frame of the video up just to be sure I didn't forget any of them and would reference the list on each turn. I lost all games. Obviously there's the #35 caviat…but I'm a 400…I'm not "good" at chess by any stretch of the imagination. But that also means I'm not exactly playing against top brass here. Yet I lost. A lot. I mean honestly…I'm having such a tough time breaking 500 it's insane. There are opponents I play where it's like holy good lord, how in the hell could they possibly know literally every move to make to perfectly counter and absolutely destroy me. I love playing chess but this is so dang frustrating. When I'm actively seeking out info to learn how to be better, but I just toggle between 300 and 400 rating with a few wins and a stupid number of losses. Grrr and yarg and other angry pirate noises.
i always play Hope Game(P33)π
Why do you always refer to βheβ in the commentary ? Women play too. Better to use βtheyβ and stay generic.
Great channel.
Tnx.
Thank you bro I used only difese move now I'm sticking
I like knights more because of their forking abilities
Great video man,
Very informative and useful.
Thanks mate
This principles are at 400 elo, wtf.
At 2:18 the move Nd5 looks strong. White is threatening Qd2 with Bxf6 gxf6 then Qh6 to follow.
36. forks
37. pins
38. how to do checkmate with only rook or queen
Valuable information. Thanks!
Is it just me or is there no number 29
You skipped principle 29
So in short, 'A really good chess player knows the right time to play Hope Chess.'
very enlightening – cheers
I canβt stop coming back to this video, sometimes I wonder why do I even bother playing chess.
If I suck anymore, Iβd need a pimp.
Thx so much love ya
This is brilliant for a newbie like me, thanks a ton
I play much better knights instead of bishops. I have other player tell me they fear my knights. I am around a 1650 player. Is it reasonable to assume I do better because knights are harder to defend against by weaker players?
I want to add: 36. Don't play "Defence chess" which is essentially you trying to NOT LOSE. You only defend and try to protect and preserve your pieces, but there's no attacks or any goal to checkmate your opponent. I see this in a lot of players that are afraid of losing.
On 34 ain't the pawn able to capture the knight?
I just came across you and this video I subscribed and hoping there are more videos like this.i used to play a bunch when I was younger and always seemed to be better than who ever I played. I Quit playing for a long time, then started playing on and off again. So after a long break I started playing again about a week or two before Christmas. And I'm sucking it up. I'm not bad but I'm not great either. My goal is to get to become an advance player or a elo of 1200. Once I get to or break 1200 then I will feel like I achieved something. And then I can beat the average person playing and will be able to level up with any player that knows what there doing.
I always do so much better harassing my opponent with the Queen early though. π
Thank you great video …
In rule 34 example, the knight can be attacked by pawn right ?
This 20 minute video did more for my skill than hundred played games.
Thank you so much.
Good video. I'd be curious on the 'do's' of certain principles.
Example: Avoid doubled pawns; whats the best way to prevent it? good ways to deal with it if you kinda have to go for it?
Nothing new, but I up voted for the 34th and 35th principles (which, obviously, I already knew).
On a side note, I need you to recognize me an opening, so I can study it further, even if it's not played in tournaments. I've been trashed by a 2000 ELO player, four games, with him moving e3 and Kf2 or e6 and Kf7, respectively. I knew he was at least my level, just that I couldn't help it and fell for his trap…., consecutively. Can you tell me what's the name of this dubious opening?
I like rabid openings, going on suicide mode most of the times, where Danish (North) gambit being my favorite, so this opening would be a joy for me to learn it.
Thank you for sharing.
Great video!

Great stuff
A took in end game is better then two minor pieces. With 2 minor pieces you need 35 moves when you have a bishop and knight which with one little mistake can ruin the game because of the 50 move rule. Because of this if you have rook at the end you are looking to tie or win while a 2 smaller pieces help less
i liked cz rule nm 35 π
Less of a principle but more of a heuristic: when your opponent plays a move, look at the board and see what has changed, what is attacked, what is maybe no longer defended, what does this move possibly set up. Most importantly, speed: is my attack faster than theirs? Is this checkmate threat actually a threat or does my king escape? Can I give up some pieces to deliver checkmate?
A principle that wasn't mentioned (credit to Levy): PP on the PP (put pressure on the pinned piece) and generally pins are strong, a classic pin in low elo is getting a rook on the first rank with check forcing the king on the second and picking up the opposite rook. Pieces can be pinned without actually being pinned; if a knight is the only defender of a square that will fork the king and the queen, then that knight essentially is pinned (lets call it quasi-pinned), and you should probably pressure it.
Also a good thing to remember that early queen moves can be punished by attacking the now undefended c pawn for instance, and premature bishop moves can lead to the opposite bishop picking up the b or g pawn and trapping the rook.
I've never heard "knights on the rim are grim". I always said, "knights on the side will not abide." Funny the different sayings.
Thank you so much this very helpful for novices
Absolute bossman, great tips for beginners.
