No way i am actually playing chess so wrong.
OH MY GOD! This video is everything I was looking for
0:00 for anyone who wants to regret their life choices and have levy stare them into limbo
Also, at 26:15, it’s a check.
I always thought the “in your face checkmate” was called kiss of death when using a queen
Nice tutorial. I’m teaching my SO how to play. She plays other strategy games, so I thought this would give her a start. I’m a nominal player for over 40 years so I’m still learning new stuff all the time. I was in chess club in my teens so I’d like to revisit it now I’m retired. Thank you for this video!
I remember a game i played where he had 2 queens and 4 pawns and I only had my king but I still somehow got it to stalemate lol
Well there goes 30 minutes. I'm rated 800…
you are an amazing teacher my guy, thanks for the tips
Loving the content. Never really been into chess, but your videos are definitely getting me into it. Sidebar…isn't Gotham City canonically in New Jersey?
WHY is a stale mate a draw the queen can easily just move one
glad and should've found this sooner. Thanks.
Bro trying to teach someone chess but doesn't know which piece the king and which piece the queen is, trash tutorial L
I can’t remember the pieces for the life of me, ima just create a rip-off chess, this is just my incompetence and not having enough patience though
en passant was described to me as such: the pawn in it's first move is a superhero, and it's got a cape. when it leaps forward its cape waves behind it. your pawn jumps on the cape, choking out the pawn, and capturing it. if you wait a turn, the cape falls to the ground, and can no longer be stepped on for this move. I was in 4th grade when i was taught this and the concept never seemed odd with that description.
I just have to say this; you said you're from New York, hence Gotham, but fun fact! Gotham was actually based on Detroit
I have played chess casually for years but never developed any sort of strategy, I also never went looking until now haha. I thought this video was extremely informative and was exactly what I was looking for. It was just complex and challenging enough where I had to actually pay attention, but not too complex that I felt overwhelmed. Obviously I am still a beginner, but at least now I can hold my own and not look like a total fool haha. Thank you very much for the video!
I am intrigued to know the reason why you do not recommend playing against a computer. Granted, there is no substitute to playing against the old Polish/Hungarian with nicotine stained fingers in the coffee shops of my youth,
Perfect Guide man 💯
Hey anybody who knows an answer to my question please don't hesitate : soo at 21:15 why can't I just do Nh6 I see it as a good defense for that too. Yes he told better solutions but is there something wrong with the solution i came up with?
Anyone here after watching chessboxing
amazing
Thanks! Those mates in 2/4 moves are crazy! Definitely gonna try them if there's ever an opportunity.
Thanks to you I actually played my first chess game at the age of 23 !! I always felt inadequate when someone tried to teach me How to play but I wouldn't get the hang of it.. thank you sirrr🥰
9:20 just for beginners sake….the Queen "CAN" take the rook but if it does black can lose their Queen because that rook is defended by the other rook therefore if the Queen takes the rook then the other rook defending can take their Queen✌️
Can chess strategies be applied to picking up babes?
Im blind and dyslexic so how can i get better without reading?
your lessons are very educational
Thank u, very helpful
4:08 everyone caonfused
me : cool
If the short little bald ones lol can move two steps up on first move can’t they just capture the queen on the next move assuming they to that move where the queen goes to the left side ?
Something hits diffrent when a guy explains. I had been watching girls explain and i could just not focus enough. 🤔 Thanks gothamchess.
Thank you from Sweden
I have learned chess to myself but now I want to fill in those spots I couldnt find myself. Lets head for IM
Awesome

im so pro
Why tf am I here? I have a test tomorrow- PLUS I DONT EVEN OWN A CHESS GAME! WHYYYYYT MUST I PROCRASTINATE!!!!
I'm playing chess these days with my nephews and I enjoy it, thanks for your video, it helped me.
Can anyone tell me what the piece point system is for if checkmates and stalemates decide a game. Is it just for an idea of what good trades are for captures?
Computers and bots don't cheat . People do. That's why I never play people. I'm not smart enough to realize I'm being cheated .
Thank you 😊 You’re an amazing teacher
i just wanted to cover some basic of chess before moving on and when he haid is december 2 2020 i was like way what, today is decemeber 2 2022 lol
Thanks Gotham, I first watched this video sometime in March of 2021 as a 800 rated player, it’s been almost 2 years, I’m now 1900 blitz and just got third place at a inter-school tournament.
Me who watching at 1 dec 2022

Have you read the book “Marathon Man” by William Goldman? It is very entertaining and also has a character by the name of Levy, albeit his last name.

No matter how many times I watch this video I’ll probably never understand how to play chess
I’m here not as a serious player, but bc my bf introduced me to the game last night. I’ve always been too scared to learn & never had anyone who even wanted to play or teach me. But now at 23 I’m excited to get some knowledge and battle him (he’s not an expert or anything either lol ♥️)
