Me and my friend played a chess game today. No experience, hadn’t even watched a video yet. We called the queen a king, the king a priests, the bishop an egg head, the rooks towers, and then knights were horsies. 💀
I sacrifice the ROOOOOOOK
Queens start on that D
You are explaining the move of the knight like you are talking to idiots. The knight does not move in an L shape. Please delete this video before someone sees you being wrong. The knight moves one square horizontal or vertical and one square diagonal I no the same general direction. A knight does not cover three squares in a move, it covers 2 squares. Yes, the end result is identical, but you should teach the principle moves 100% absolutely correctly, if you wish to place yourself in the roll of a teacher. Please never teach anything knowingly incorrectly. Shame on you.
The fact I got a chess ad when I clicked this💀
Geez, why didn't I do this sooner😂 I tried to learn on a phone game, thinking I was playing the phone, and it set me up with a person. Who bludgeoned me then made fun of me🙄 I was planning on making mistakes then learning from them, not just getting beat up…
Can anyone please explain me how is this 19:41 a checkmate? Even if the queens protected by the bishop, why can't the king just kill the queen and it will be check again. Please tell me if I'm missing out on something. (sorry I'm dumb)
I used to be good enough at chess but I rusted to the point where I cannot realize any blunders and just give up from pressure of thinking that I will blunder most moves without knowing. This does help me give more of an understanding than I knew as a kid (the time when I was okay to sort of good at the game).
Can’t wait for chess 2
The best by far
I GOTTA BE HIGH TO GET THIS THEN IT BLOWS MY HIGH AND I HAVE A HEADACHE.. IM GONE FIGURE THIS OUT DAMMIT!

i LOVE the way he explained every basic that you needed to play chess
Thank you
For the people who are confused about en passant. I read somewhere that the rules originally did not allowed for pawns to move 2 squares on their first move. The ability for them to do that was given to speed up a bit the game. However it caused an issue when a pawn could "dodge" the attack by moving 2 squares and would skip the attack of the other pawn. So the en passant rule was made to make things more fair
damn you elizabeth harmon
I will see this comment when Iam good at chess.
Thank you
Did he actually say update that's hilarious
The A file, B file, C file, and last but not least, the Pedophil-

Hey my man great video…. you're Albanian ain't ya?
I just like listening to this guy talk
First video I ever watched from Gotham and it brings so much nostalgia
I knew how to move chess pieces for years, but all I need to know were the tactics and strategies and you taught that too well! I won my matches for 12 times in a row Thank you!
I don’t like this video, it’s wayyyyyyyyyyyy too fast to quickly, I’m still trying to set up the board 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I start with E4 and D4 so that the pieces that go sideways can get out possibly put the kind in check
Thank you needed this!
Can pawns take bishops ive been seing people say they cant
Your videos have always given me the inspiration to be better at chess. Even if i keep losing haha.

You said momentarily when you meant to say presently (which means soon). Great video! Thank you.

"In your face" great video
I am so confused, i quite Chess 🙂
I'm watching this video to learn how to teach my girlfriend who's never played a lick of chess in her life, I'm a big Gothamchess fan so it's dual purpose a great video to watch and a way to learn what I should say to have her understand best
After winning 12 in a row I lost one and watching this video 🙂
this was really easy to understand, i came into it thinking itd be impossible to wrap my head around but surprisingly i understood it easily! you’re quite a good teacher, earned a sub from me
