Do I know how to play chess? Yes
Did I need this video at all? No
Did I still watch it? Ofc lmao
No…I ginually want to know how on earth you play this game
…I have no idea what you’re talking about mate
Knight moveset is fucking bullshit ngl
I’m learning to play chess for the guy I like. He loves chess. If that’s not dedication idk what is
I am a beginner, and i want to learn how to play chess … anyone suggest me something i.e. any particular courses/coah/ or something like that may help me …
Thanks a ton in advance …
You make it hard to pay attention to what you’re saying…🤤🤤😍🥰
Bayet. D q ka focus. Gwapo ag maestro HAHAHHA
I’m scared. 😱😰
Seeing the lateral checkmate with 2 queens brought back memories of when I did that specific move as one of the only ways I ever checkmated people.
Thank you master.
It's so helpful that you explain it slowly
bro im literally sitting here laughing cuz that 4 move mate i have seen before. i was a 23 year old inmate at a county jail and my best friend i made in my 24 man pod was this tatted up gang banger who was in on his 5th gun charge as a 20 year old (i wish i were making this up). my boy hit me with that stupid fuckin move like 3 times in a row and i didnt know what to do about it. only chess i played was against my old man who didnt teach me shit he just thrashed me relentlessly. his only experience was playing in newport news jail.
tldr: my podmate in jail used the 4 move checkmate vs me in jail multiple times
Just got a new subscriber, let's see how it goes 😇
Why am i so HORRIBLE at chess!?!?!? i used to be like 800, but now i am 300 🙁
13:08 Looool that just happened to me and I didn't understand what just happened
In primary school I always wanted to join a group of boys who played chess and to learn. I thought it looked intriguing. They said no "since I was a girl" and now here I am in high school trying to learn some chess for the sake of learning chess.
It’s so nice to be able to refresh our brains on the basics of playing chess every so often
Hi, just starting to learn how to play and am confused about 12:00 I’m not sure why this ends as a stalemate, can someone explain further?
So helpful, thank you!
Really learned a lot. You make it seem so easy. Thanks. Enjoyed the way you teach!
wait, pieces can go backwards??
ty bro i understand now
Thanks from a real beginner
As a person who's very casual – I feel like knights, vs other casuals, are almost as scary in the B and G areas as the center because they threaten bishops/rooks/pawns that aren't properly defended/covered. Does that evaporate once you've played with focus for more than a few games?
Wow, actually learnt so much from this
Gotham is in New Jersey
I'm so determined to win this game at least once in my life
Started listening to tate, now I'm here
Thank you so much for teaching me how to play chess Mr GothamChess.
Waiting for the chess v2.3
Excellent beginners video. I learned something. I learned how damn stupid I am. Thank you. I do believe this was the first time have heard, "welcome to the 64 squares".
I appreciate you
Good. Now I can lose more accurately
I've been watching your videos in an attempt to become a better player. My kids love chess (7 and 9), and I've been wanting to improve to teach them. How do you go about identifying what a person might be trying to accomplish mid to late game? Certain games I study it is very apparent to me and others it's not.
Thank you so much now I can play chees
My dad taught me to play chess when I was a young boy 3rd/4th grade, after about the 4th time I beat him, and he didn't want to play anymore, same with playing pool.
I like watching you explain.
Think u for teaching us how to play yall game…Black man & check mate is coming soon my guy!!!!!!!!!!!! Trust that
Great stuff! I’ve been playing on a coaching app for a few weeks and this video helped add The next layer of understanding. There is so much info in here, but it down to something that I can understand. Thanks for the effort in putting this together!
Started today and I'm hooked… I never thought I would fall in love with chess.. And man it is fascinating.
13:14 i don't understand how this works, surely the pawn at h2 could move to h4 and take the queen?
"Levy, you're already confusing me. I don't feel safe." HAHAHA lol💀
13:24 i did that aggainst my dad when i was 7 year old, good times
He was like “right?! (You got this)” and I’m like hahah no
I’ve started playing chess when I was seven but I haven’t played in a while. I also have this crush on a guy and I found out that he plays chess. This inspired me to learn a bit more so maybe one day we could play a game together 🙂
Can anyone suggest some best books & games app for learning chess? I would happy of your kind suggestions 😊😊
Thank You for the info!
Me after watching the queens gambit:
I have seen sets with clear and green pieces as a variant; as you could expect, clear moves first.
