I am so confused
I accidentally clicked on this video but I'm still watching good information!

Very helpful! I learned how the pieces moved decades ago as a kid, but I never learned concepts like piece vision, protecting pieces, tactics vs strategies, etc. I taught myself a bit of these through playing, but I have many holes in my understanding.
Ngl you seem like you'd be a great chess player. Maybe you should take some lessons, you could be a grandmaster some day.
OMG THIS VIDEO IS SO CLEAR AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND THANK U SMMM
Whoa where is my 31 minutes go 🫢 didn’t realize until you told the runtime

Excuse me if the castle has moved and returned in to its place and we have no nuts between king and castle, can we do that moving?
Learning chess to play with Harry on Sundays to get him breakfast, now that’s A Very Risky Gamble.

How to protect from stalemate
I am just now getting into chess and this really helps to get my footing on the board especially proper openings

Step 1: Learn Bongcloud Opening
Step 2: Success
7:40 If white (white refers to the player with the white pieces, black refers to the player with the black pieces) moves his light squared bishop to D5, it put's black's king in check and white's light squared bishop is still safe.
for me starting out i would always play in a v formation with my pawns idk if it was good but i liked it as i would have defense for both pawns and could carry out attacks at the same time
This is really helpful! Thank you!
chess inspired me with great interest after i watched the movie queen's gambit, wonderful coordination and highly motivating. It opened up the pathway for chess boards and strategies.
The ads messed up this good video, way to many
Seriously I'm on this gonna learn tonight
I'm gonna learn this game. See you at the national haha
Gotham from Batman is modeled after Chicago not New York City. Your entire channel name is a lie. Hence the name Gotham meaning you should be from Chicago. You messed up dude

I won my First local chess championship using the Scholar's Mate. I was taught Queen to F3 version and would put bishop out first. Halfway through the tournament i switched to H5 because a few people would block with knight and H5 gives a free pawn and rook almost every game people are quick to push with pawns. I made my own variation with the Knight and queen because people block with knight more often when bishop comes out. Basically move knight to H3 Queen to F3 Knight to G5 they try to push away with pawn and queen mates on F7 or they blocked with pawn swing queen to B3 or have bishop their already. I use to over commit to this every game I even won the championship game with just a rook, He traded queens with me because I was so dominate with Queen early game. Now im older and this barely works or im just washed up i dunno. Use to feel like i could be a Grandmaster now i feel like i get caught in my own traps.
