    how do i do the sandbox thing like you used to explain openings and stuff

    I am now studying chess. Thank you GothamChess. You earned a new subscriber.

    Watching this as a advanced chess players feels like a dora explorer episode, chess edition

    holy shit chess is complicated😅🤣

    Can you tell me how to be 2500 with no effort overnight. Thanks.

    Divided I wanted to hear my grandpa at chess. Ended up here. Didn't know there were so many openings

    Who else wanna be a good player in chess?

    Bro… watched the first 18 minutes felt enlightenment and destroyed someone at my rank

    A bot did an en passant on me yesterday I was so confused 💀💀💀

    13:22 can’t pawn take queen in that situation? But I am stupid and don’t know anything about chess.

    I'm now getting started and this is really helpful, thanks.

    The king is the most important piece in the game since he is the goal, why dosent HE start on his own square? I don’t care about what the dam Queen wants

    The easiest way to remember the "en passant" rule is that a pawn can only ever move forward one square at a time except that, as a concession, they can move forward two squares on their first move. If, by taking that double move, they try to get past their opponent's pawn that's a bit unfair. So the concession is cancelled (if the opponent wants to do that) and they get put back a square to be taken.

    I've always said that just because you know how to play chess doesn't mean you know how to play chess

    I played the Queens Gamble, yes gamble not gambit.

    I think my brain is stockfish ai for making the worst move possible. Kinda cool

    Well i finally learnt the basics somewhat thanks

    The four horsemen present. All players aboard.

    Death to all save they who are Lord.

    Corners castled. Religion astride royalty.

    A score minus four contests the ultimate in loyalty. ❤

    Just started playing yesterday with a friend and he whooped me. I’m determined to get my get back. Thanks for the tips

    In 14:45 I see a gambit sandomierski, its moving a horse and doing nothing with it

    "Kings are like Queens… except they are kinda not at all"
    Seems a legit enough explanation to me LOL

    Bro, thanks for the video! I recently got back into chess after a 35 year hiatus. I learnt something new. Back in the day, the Queen was worth 10 points. It is now worth 9. How interesting!

    39 and just starting with this classic game, you're way of explaining with examples makes it very clear. And fun, thnx a lot!

    Hi this is my first video and I must say very informative. I enjoyed how you layer the information out. Looking forward to your. Next one. Jan

    Wish I wasn’t born with a learning disability like I’m watching this and trying to understand him but there’s just so much and it loses me 😞

    This has been super helpful. Especially the part about endgames as I've been getting lots of stalemates against computers. Thank you!

    Thankyou Gotham it’s my lifetime goal to make & master the game ❤❤❤❤ I named my children king & queen too I’m so inspired Thankyou !!!!

    i have been a beginner for 100 years. I am Elite beginner. Beginner God. First rate in finding win for my opponent.

    Wait on poissant…so when I go down two, I can go one to the side and take the other pawn with the move if it's there? Only on the first move if the opportunity is presented..?

    I just want to get good enough to keep up with my kids.

    "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." Romans 10:9

    Please believe in Jesus, He is coming back soon!

    My 14 year old son sent your video to me this morning. He’s been watching you and wants me to learn chess. Great video.
