    The biggest thing for a beginner to remember is to fart during the match. It throws your Opponents concentration way off, LOL.

    But Why are you screaming???

    Thanks. Used to play alot. Started again this week. Not played for years, for 35 years. Used to beat my dad rip, but as good as i got. Your videos r helpful.

    mistake num.6 is concentrating on her beautiful face while trying to make a move …u will blunder every time ………lol..

    I generally go for a knight-bishop exchange if it leaves the opponent with stacked pawns.

    If you take a tempo as white you are essentially playing as black from that point on, i.e. you have lost the initiative.

    Anna, many thanks for these 5 tips. I'm getting back into playing chess since I teach a chess club in a former British school in Moscow. I've been playing Go since college when a friend introduced it to me. I usually play Go on computers online on a 9×9 board. I think Go helps me look for the best offense and defensive chess moves. I learned good tips from your video today. Thanks.

    I like exchanging queens because it's too much pressure knowing the opponent has a queen. The stress of not knowing what to do is multiplied by the presence of a queen.

    Du gör så underbara videos Anna. Schack för mig ( stolt schack noob ) är som att förstå ett språk man inte kan, man kan vissa ord men man kan inte kommunicera
    MEN mig älskar utmaningen med att spela Schack hjärnan går verkligen på högvarv / kram på dig

    anna cramling forget the chess lets look at you

    two first advises… and I am noticing that this amazing woman has a resemblance to the other amazing woman that created that opening… the cow.

    Hi Anna. You are indeed a splendid teacher and a great player. I really enjoy watching your games. Please continue your excellent work. I have a query regarding the movement of pawns. I noticed in some games apart from pawn capturing, which rule states that a pawn can change its file? Anxiously awaiting your response please. ❤

    Thanks to this video i just checkmated Magnus Carlsen in 10 moves!

    Anna is such a nice young lady, and a good chess teacher.

    You forgot one. #6 creating your own opening called "The Cow"

    Hi Anna! I like your teaching videos and game videos that u speak ur mind. Can you make a playlist for those contents and it will make it easier to navigate through:) Great content for beginners! Cheers!

    Good tips. I've played for years, but not regularly enough to be a very good player. But I'm not a complete novice either, as I basically knew all of these tips. The problem is I play 10 minute games and often get low on time. If I have 40 seconds left, and am thinking of swapping, I can't take too much time to determine if I am swapping for a weaker piece or not. So sometimes I just blindly swap, especially if I'm taking a knight. My opponents knights always scare me. And I also can't take much time before doing a move to make sure my opponent doesn't have that square covered with more pieces than me. I have to tell at a quick glance in both of these cases. Otherwise I could lose on time. That's not always easy when pressured for time and that's been my problem -doing quick moves without blundering. Playing longer games would help, but I like quick games more.

    I'd rather prefer learning about your body and you affection over learning chess :-))

    Thanks for the tips Anna, now I just need to figure out what accent that is, comes and goes, very interesting

    Thanks so much, I’m a complete beginner but finally managed to get my opponent into checkmate!! This video helped a lot I’m dominating those four center squares

    Don't know if its been said in comments below, but chess is about having fun yes ? If yes, is it only victory, that is fun ? For me no ! So openings can be anything as long as you have fun. Mistakes its part of the fun, sometimes mistakes leads to better or worst position, so many variables, impossible to calculate everything. And chess its not about beeing a master, a jedi , or the darth vader of chess, its about playing.

    In #2, the bishop was PINNING the knight, which is a GOOD THING!

    Some people are just so beautiful and smart, and then, there’s me 😔

    You always put a smile on my face. Thanks for the advice.

    Thanks a Lot, very clear and helpfull video !

    3:17 actually Bxf6 is the best move according to chess computers, black won't take with the pawn to damage the pawn structure, so black plays Qxf6. Then white play Nc3, threatens to play Nd5 attacks the queen on f6 and threatens to paly Nxc7+ and wins the rook. And it's not easy to prevent that move. If you play Be6 then white plays Bxc6+ forces the pawn to recapture and black's pawn structure is damaged, or still play Nd5 and you cannot take the knight at all, 'cuz if you take, the pawn takes back and the knight on c6 will be killed, except b5, then white will play c4, you can't take the bishop, otherwise white plays Qxa4 and won a pawn. The best choice that black should play is queenside castling. White still plays Nd5 put pieces in the center squares, so exchanging in this position is not bad.

    0:59 the side pawns
    That's crap opening
    Oh sorry
    Crab opening 😅
    Actually insulting opening to play
    (It says "I'm so much better than you. Bring it.)

    Wait
    So we… don't play Cow opening?!?😅

    What program do you use to show the chess moves?

    Thanks for the tips. Haven't played chess since I was young and seeing some of your videos has really given me the spark I once had playing with my dad. Cheers.

    You are clearly very intelligent, a wonderful chess player, and a good teacher. I am a dad so take this with a grain of salt: you don’t need to show your midriff to market your content, it can stand on its own.

    Great, now write the book: 21 Critical Newbie Mistakes

    @4:15 the bishop is controlling the knight, but that is the only thing the bishop is doing. So it makes the knight useless, but it is itself also useless. How do you reason that the bishop is more valuable?

    Very didactic!!! Signed: A grateful beginner😊

    I haven't played in 40 years but am now (in retirement) relearning the game as if a beginner. Good video, please make more, thanks.

    The one thing I was taught that changed how I viewed the game was one simple rule “let your opponent lose, don’t try and beat them”
