Play the king’s pawn, if they play the same thing, queen h5, get their pawn, and checkmate
Idk why but ever since I've taken chess seriously I have become dumber and dumber at it. 😂
HI, How do i play chess
.

Lovely! I’ve been a beginner for 50 years! Hopefully videos such as yours will help me make some progress!
Yeah I understood none of this. 😭
Gotham is like a kindergarten teacher that hates kids but also wants you to succeed
Are we supposed to memorize all those openings and branches?
This made my day 😂 20:04
Very good !
This helped
I like my girls how I like my chess openings
As far as actually learning an opening, in this modern age we have resources that weren't available when I was young, like YouTube and chess computers. This is how I learn openings today. I pick some instructional videos on that opening and start a playlist. I write down the variations and moves in a notebook, repeating parts of the video at slower speeds. Then I re-watch the video numerous times, following along in my notebook. Then I do this with other videos on that opening that analyze other variations or continuations. I then follow up on transpositions to other openings. Then I notice the similarities and differences between openings, like the Kings Indian Attack or the 3.g3 Vienna or the closed Sicilian. I definitely respond better to video learning than setting up a chessboard and playing the moves from a book.
bruh
20:10 thats sus
Good work levy
I like the explanation on how to analyze past games here, but how helpful is it for a new player(like myself) to just know what are statistically bad moves, rather than WHY they’re bad moves? I do understand that the database at least helps you identify what move is the place to start looking, but I figure it’s more helpful to understand why certain moves are bad? Aside from them not leading to a good statistical outcome. Maybe I just need to become more familiar with fundamentals and openings first.
I am so good at chess
Dead GothamChess, i've watched your videos for years. You have taught me so much about the game and you are the ONLY method i use to see new chess stuff or keep up with chess competitions. I got a request, if i may… There is an android chess game and i cannot, for the life of me, beat it. My brother belives it may be an engine who is at a too high dificulty, i belive i still Need to keep on improving… Is there any way you can try out the game, off camera of course, and beat all the AI in all dificulties as the Black Pieces. Im stuck at the 7th… Thanks and beat of luck to you!
Love the channel
I personally go for the bongcloud
you gotta do a new updated version for this video because both programs are so different looking and working now i cant even figure out how to use it at all.
It s complicated huhu but i still try to because i want to be better
I feel I need to know multiple because one may counter another better but idk I need more knowledge
Gotham chess you helped me soooo much I owe you
every single opening i did was d4 or e4 followed by a knight
Lol for a fact bro yall are lucky to have gothamchess lololol..
see, just do it like me: don't ever learn any opening theory in 10 years of playing chess and you bring your opponent down to your level because after 3 moves max, we are no longer in theory territory.
Gotham learned not to premove the opening the hard way

Thanks for the video, you are very good at teaching chess!
I thank you for this video so much!
This was genuinly the most educational video that i have ever seen. I ascended as a chess player up to a higher realm.
"It's better to learn from masters"
is it?
Low rated players do not go up against masters. They go up against other low rated players. For whom something like the wayward queen attack won't always be punished effectively. Of course once they reach, say, 700, wayward queen doesn't really work. So they move onto something else. But probably not Ruy Lopez Berlin.
Everyone: Love you so much! Such a help!
Me: cracking up because he said ”That’s a nice number 😂”
But seriously, you are awesome. I’ve learned so much from you! Keep going!
I lack focus
I bet i can beat you Gotham!!
Masters are fascinating im a beginner and i dont know anything. For me these games just look so random but all of a sudden his master plan just works out. Its fascinating
16:05 also threatens a fork hence winning tempo
If you'd rely on guides and tutorials to learn chess or kill some time by learning a bit more (like me)
I made a playlist containing videos about chess that will teach you rules, terms, methods, and more

Is there a way we can do this using databases before we lose? Or blunder???
How can I know how good I am?
Studying chess openings is very easy. Just learn the London system and Accelerated London System.

"That is a nice percentage, that is a nice percentage“ you had me good there 🙂
I like to start off with the dirty sanchez to open…transitioning into the rusty trombone and finishing off with the jelly donut for the ultimate endgame climax. I’ve taken MANY trips to pound town using this advanced strategy combo.
The king gambit always puts me on back foot the bot always brings queen and check
really nice percentage.. 😆
Where I can find database to learn the moves?
Great work Thank you
How fo I open the computer and the database. I didn't understand that.
