    Dude, you go way too fast its as tho your just randomly clicking paths and legal moves . I need chess knowledge based on variations ,what they are called and why we move to a certain spot. i don't mind your videos but it doesn't teach me.

    I love how he pronounces Chess like "chez" 😎😎

    database helped me right now so much! there are alwaya some position i strugge with but now had the time to analyze some!

    Returning back to chess after decades away. What’s the best path forward? Any online recommendations?

    I loved seeing all the Vienna gambit examples, because as a dumb 400 it's my favourite opening as white

    The more you play against a good opponent the more you learn

    Off topic, but I can finally beat Nelson consistently on challenge mode 🥳🥳

    Been watching your videos tryin to get better. They have been very helpful thanks bro ggs

    Wait is 1600 considered amateur? Am I dogshit?

    Jake has probably gotten tired of sending the link to this video toyone he knows.

    after I saw this video I got my first brilliant (by accident) and I'm 800 elo!

    I play chess with my dad and he places the queen of white/black in front of the king of black/white while setting up the board. I don't argue but it is kinda hard to play like that.

    "Chess is a competitive game and a war for a some people "

    Hi I have played chess in the past, I didn't even knew there was names for specific attacks, this sounds kind of biased gameplays, at least for me that don't know much about chess, the way I see it if you are doing a particular move doesn't it make you predictable?

    I am a noob. I thought chess is for a relaxing/fun time… you convinced me it is not. There is no creativity or intuition or anything interesting… just memory – how many possible moves did you have in memory. Just like a computer.

    wait, if i were to play the london, and my opponent responded with a king's indian, and then i castles queenside, wouldn't that make black's fianchetoed bishop more powerful if black ever launches a queenside attack against my king?

    I dont now it is opening in video good…if you playing against comp hi playing cery good move and always is better

    So is it correct to say to learn the fundamental openings before experimenting with breaking the "rules" of the openings?

    This was a great video I appreciate it I learned quite a bit

    So in order to become great at chess you have to remember where to place your pieces against every kind of opening?

    I throw my opponent off by advancing my queen to the other side then demoting to a pawn. It confuses them EVERY time.

    I prefer Caro-kan as it develops pawn chain and also allows pieces to develop ( get your bishop's out first after developing pawns) .

    I was like "I'm gonna rewind to the database name, it's only few mome… What? I have 1,5min left of this vid? How?"

    As a person who only plays as black peices, i deffinetly have learned.

    Well this killed the want for me to learn chess.. I thought it was a game about strategy but apparently it's just percentage calculation..

    Sadly the computer doesnt feel like working without me paying 50 bucks a year to the imaginary man

    i forgot all those openings name because of handy dandy data base

    I'm a chess beginner and I like this video
    Keep doing a lot of videos like this♥♥

    How are you supposed to know what one move will trigger 345 moves down? The real question is how do you move pieces and see the entire board and all of the subsequent moves your opponent's going to play every time I play and move one piece it opens doors three four or five spaces down that gets me killed

    There are far too many wrong ways to open and make moves you need to memorize the right ways and all of the Avenues that Branch off so you can adjust to their every move a person with a photographic Perfect Memory would probably be the best player close to it anyway

    Chess is a rigged game from the very opening move there are so many options you need to memorize so many strategies every piece opens up a new Avenue but there's no in hell you're going to know which one you should move unless you keep playing and remembering every possible option and move it's a little ridiculous really you will be bad at chess until you are good at chess… it is that type of logic the game follows

    This guy is talking about stuff I never heard of for all I know the next thing he could do is construct a mega-chessatron

    I've watched 2 minutes of this video and my head is already spinning I'm going to watch the rest but I doubt a beginning like me could actually learn much

    i love moving all my pawns 1 space just to confuse the other player
