  1. I’m 13 and I tried it a few days ago I been watching vids for help but nothing, I get beaten easily am I dumb or what? I actually gave up since then but this pop up on my recommendation, I hope this one help me

  2. It is time to get right with Jesus. You aren’t going to automatically enter into heaven if you have lied or stolen or had premarital sex. Even one of those makes you worthy of hell fire. Don’t deceive yourself! The punishment of sin is hell fire.
    Jesus died so you can get a clean slate and forgiveness of a future sin when we confess it. When you start to follow him you have to strive to obey what he commands.
    No one will enter heaven without the blood of Jesus over you. No other way but through Jesus

  3. In en passant, won't the opposite teams' pawns, that are still in their starting position, be able to attack my pawn, too, though? Or can pawns only attack after they've made their first move?

    I apologize if my question seems as though it has an obvious answer. but I literally just started learning chess today.

  4. first of all as an absolute beginner in understanding chess why did i NEVER see that bishops actually look like little bishop hats? lol! Can i just say i was in chess club in middle school which was basically an after school program where the library staff simply baby sat us until our parents go out of work, this was at a low class school i was poor growing up, and we didn't HAVE to play chess. So i never did bc honestly no one was teaching chess we were just there and chess boards where available. I usually read books and i've always wanted to learn chess. This is great. I got married a few years ago and my husband always loved the game but i could never play. He wants to get a board soon and i figured better late than never right? lol so i really appreciate this video.

  5. I like you a lot, thanks for the laughs and the teachings! lol

  6. thank u so much. u cleared so many doubts of mine

  7. 11:35 Checkmate can happen at the beginning, it frequently happens at the end but it NEVER happens in the middle.

  8. Ok I can’t be alone. I’m here purely because of Queens Gambit

  9. Am I the only one who thinks he is going too fast?

  10. This was an exceptionally well thought out and delivered introductory video. Thank for it, and for the book recommendation. 🙏

  11. I've been a beginner so long I invented the four move mate by myself, without knowing it already existed

  12. Too complicated. They need to streamline it. It's not like anyone can remember all these rules anyway

  13. TLDW: how to win and dominate bitches? Timestamp please

  14. I like the pawnpassnot rule or w.e it's called lol

  15. i am disappointed to admit that i am just now knowing where the name gotham came from after knowing you're from new york for a while

  16. chess values lives with numbers making it easier to know who to discard
