Thanks. I have actually intuitively adopted all the principles over time. Principle 21 is the one I'm struggling with, as is EVERY beginner: "attack". This is what makes you an intermediate player: being able to plan an attack, i.e. predict more than 2-3 moves.
I realized I've played too much hope chess!
Double pawns are beneficial in this particular situation (4:19). Queen is in a great spot to take advantage. p×c4 leaves black in a bad spot. Mate in 5, at worst.
Hardest move to find is with rook back.
Great job!! Thanks so much.
Awesome video man! For something who just got interested in chess, this was super helpful
Everything you said was what Alpha Zero didn’t do and won lots of games
Capitano obvioso right here bruh
Was doing pretty rough at first but after coming and watching these principles I’ve been able to get 2 checkmates! Great video!
Can someone help me? Idk why 17:07 would be a checkmate. The knight can be easily taken
This is great! Great video. Love how succinct it is and straight to the point! You are the master!
10:36 when you rethink life
I would disagree with not trading bishops for knights. Knights, unlike bishops are better because no other piece can move like knights can. The queen can move like bishops. Knights however aren’t as replaceable because they are the only piece that cannot be blocked.
I’m confused on number 34, couldn’t the e7 pawn just take the knight?
Do not look to trade pawns when up material… hmm that’s somewhat counterintuitive. I’ll try to keep that in mind.
Nice i knew 34 out of 35 principles
Think of a good move, then come up with a better one.
Don't know if this is considered a principle, but I kinda of missed ''Pin it to win it''.
Pin a piece and then start attacking it with a pawn, when possible.
Awesome video
good class
I forgot principles 1 & 2 after principles 3😄😄
This video actually helped me a great deal. Thank you!
28 was a somewhat akward example, in my opinion, wouldn't knight to D4 force the "right" bishop into a retreat or a trade bishop for knight and open up the board at the same time without discarding a bunch of pieces? Trading pieces only seems like a good move against a somewhat better player than yourself. Same with knight to B5 and probably followed by knight to D4, threatening the queen and enabling a trade of knight for bishop and bishop for bishop, also freeing up both of the bishops on black side to some degree. Seems to me like those trades have more potential than the ones shown here.

Thank you legend
Thanks
The last one is the best one.
Going from no knowledge besides what I learned by mistake just just these 35 basic principles allowed me to step up my game insanely well
The most helpful, informative approach to chess I have seen on any platform, at this level. THANK YOU!!
Principle number one: don't ever take the chess serious. If not played for entertainment, it is a game of two idiots thinking they are smarter than the others, becase they understand this game better. In this case, smartphone is smarter indeed….
You should have a look at Larry Kaufman's piece values
Nice,,,👍
Fantastic guide! Thanks for outlining basic chess principles.
Bro…
That was excellent thank you 🙏 👍👍🙌
I've been trying to play against a chess app in the level hard and had been repeatedly beaten by it in the opening. On my first game after watching this video I did significantly better. Thank you!
"If you don't like my principles, I have some other ones"
As an advanced player, I always play hope chess, ignoring the principle advising otherwise😎
Rule #36, don't blunder. I can't seem to learn that one.
can u explain a bit more in depth about the backwards pawns anyone? i get the principles behind all the others, but eventually u do push your pawns so some are inevitably left back
Nice. I like the rook on the 7th rank. Didn't know about that one!
Thanks a lot. Good top 35 and well explained.
Chess is like learning how to play an instrument. It's very hard at first. If you push and push until you learn and get better, you'll get good. If you quit before you learn, that means 1 of 2 things.
#1. Whatever you are learning is not fun for you.
#2. You have no drive or motivation and you will have the same results with anything you do in your life until you change your attitude.
thanks
I opened this video after skimming the title, thinking it was about principles of cheese. I was disappointed.
☺
25. Rook can just go to 7th rank and stop them? 11:02
Very nice explanation !!
Thorough, yet succinct. And as others have said, well articulated. Really enjoyed this video and no doubt will come back to it. Thanks for your work here.
Haven't played in decades and only as a kid. Now keen to learn to play properly and teach my niece and nephew!
