Does anyone know how Gotham creates custom games where he can move both sides and add/subtract pieces?
I am a beginner and these tips have definitely improved my game
its 2:25am
And thanks for the recommend on the 1001 and the 100 endgames, definitely required reading/solving.
Hey Levy, great one as usual, very helpful. I saw something interesting in my travels about GM Peter Biyiasas. Apparently, he was able to get to 2200 strength or so just from using 2 books: Levenfish and Smyslov's "Rook Endings" and Fischer's "My 60 Memorable Games." Obviously for the Fischer, it would have to be broken down for the beginner and/or annotated in depth…. I have this theory: I suspect there are a handful of key books to work through that would deliver tremendous returns like this. Further research shows- well, OK, Biyiasas was Fischer's training partner for significant time, that would definitely help as well…. but still, point taken. You could potentially do many videos about each of these 2 books, and I will look deeper at what you've put up already.
I really want to be great at chess.. I find chess super interesting.. but I dont know where to start and how to learn. I've been playing against my brother for years but I've never been able to defeat him. Even I always lose to him I just get more curious and fascinated how he does it. It makes me want to get better. But I dont know how. I want to beat my brother and anyone else I play against. Can someone tell me how to start
Beat my grandmother on my first match thanks for the advice 😃
I used to play casually in highschool and I'm surprised I had good beginners knowledge, I have no clue about different openings though.
I just started. I am diligently writing your directions down. I am doing this for my grandson, who is 15 years old and has joined the chess club. I hope that some day I can play chess with him.
I once made it to my school's chess final, to lose in 3 moves to Fools Mate.
Great, now I can beat Andrew Tate.
11:57 can blacks move legally? No.
I know how to play chess, I'm here to know what the pieces are called in English
Gotham
47 and just got back into chess
It's gladly addictive totally.
Do you recommend a great first chess set wooden with weighted pieces and at least a 4 inch king set ?
TD
can black move legally 11:58 XD
I started this when I was a child. My uncle who passed away showed me how to play. I was the biggest sore loser ever, never appreciated every loss I had when he beat me. But now I'm back at it again to commemorate his memory. And this is for you tio George. I'm getting better at this game every day just to honor you. Plus the game is very fun! 😂😁
I think you left out the part in castling, if the King or the Rook is at risk of being captured you can't castle your king.
I love you thanks for making me a beginner expert 🥲
Whos here because of Top g😎
I could beat Magnus carlsen No cap
Thanks to this vid i beat emir from turkey

12:30 THE KING IS THE DANGER !!!!!
Nah I'll pass this game has too many rules
No scholar mate
Me watching this 30minute video just to play without remembering any of this strategies
I like horsies. I play chess like I play most strategic games. I grope around until I win. If I don't win, I hit my opponent with my purse
Wellp here I am, it's 5 am and my ADHD decided to hyperfocus on chess. Most interesting night ever somehow. Thank you.
The moat beautiful thing is when you make a huge blunder but the opponent doesn't pick up on it
Great video, thank you!
The version I'm playing is way different, why?
Thank you very much
Thank you for this video even though its been 2 years im getting ready to go down this rabbit hole!

kings are the cucks of chess

You are exceptional instructor, and you look like daniel radcliffe haha, thanks for the tutorial.
Worst guide ngl
Don't think of the knight move as an "L". One ,two, over.
Look at each square next to the knight in the file/rank.
Each square IT is attached to DIAGONALLY the knight can land. You can literally see TWO moves at time. The options the knight can land fork out like lightning.
Always remember also the knight takes turns on the color it lands on. So if your knight is on a dark square it can only land on a light square.
Andrew tate forced me to watch this video
I've been beginning for 30 days annoying
What is fighting for squares?
