    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

    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

    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.

    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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    TLDW: how to win and dominate bitches? Timestamp please

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

    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

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

    Im new to chess but im pretty sure points dont matter. If the oppenent takes your king its game over.

    Fantastic video. Gotham is an analog of new jersey tho lol

    hi! i have a question, can you make a video about the rules? Also, what happenes if the game goes down to losing all the pieces except the kings, then what happenes?

    I’m playing on my phone and I did the castling rule where you move the king over two places and the rook didn’t jump over the king and I’m wondering if I did something wrong….help lol

    I’m new new to chess. Haven’t played a game yet, just been reading…I really enjoyed how you explained thing. I’m more motivated and encouraged now to keep at it. THANK YOU!!!

    The en passant is actually pretty cool, feels like an attack of opportunity.
    Didn't know chess had rules like that.

    Lol – when checkmate happens it's *always* at the end of the game. 😃

    not gonna lie, that ending starement was cool af

    I've been looking for the right Master, and I'm glad to say I've just found the one! You make chess look fascinating.

    Ik this vid was about a year ago, I found it a couple months ago and still have a lot of trouble visualizing an opponents reactions/plans, and usually in analysis I usually end up doing cases in which I'd win, which is a problem, do you have any advice? (I am currently on mobile so I can't utilize arrows.

    Wow, well explained. Thank you so much. This video can help and teach people like me who wants to play chess but doesn't know how to play it.🥰😊😇

    You did the opposite here you cleared up so much for me this happens to me a lot and I NEVER knew why

    First of all: THANKS for the lesson: This is my first lesson in chess. Regarding the en-passant rule: As he said the pawn are allowed to move 2 tiles in the opening and hereafter only 1 square at a time the rest of the game: Then how is it possible for the opponent to move 2 squares at some point in the game for your pawn to qualify the en-passant rule? Would this be/or does Levy mean: IF the opponent BY MISTAKE moves 2 squares at some point in the game, then your pawn qualify for the en-passant rule? He didnt say that, but if thats the case, its very important to mention.

    when i watched this yesterday for the first time i forgot majority of the things you said since i hadn’t played my first game yet and i wanted to know the pieces. now that i’ve been practicing all day and i’ve come back to this video, i understand everything you said and it’s SO much more helpful LMAO. many of the things you discussed i was confused about in game since i forgot most of the topics on this video but now this clears it all up! thanks so much for this video man i’m excited for my journey into chess.

    I want to learn chess step by step A to Z … Where should i begin and how? Please suggest me
