CAN YOU STOP CRYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would love to play with you
This is the video that got me into chess.
6.39 hilarious 😆😆😆😆
why does she need to cry in every video
you should try learning an instrument I recommend learning the cello
"BlaineTheIrishMan" ,thank you.
That was exciting to watch
1:12 THAT'S DISRESPECTFUL BY GOTHAM
This was such a incredible experience for us and Michelle and I hope to see more from her but it is a bit sad that she will probably never get back to chess again and if so it was still great to see her play chess and I will watch this video again and again as a good memory of this experience
This was very entertaining, big ups to you Michelle! 🎉 #castlemania
1000 rated is a decent player
What a video. Congratulations, even if I'm a year late xD
Levi was legit flexing in the beginning
she forgot andrew tate
Chessruto: A Gambit Chronicles
Well done! I would love it getting to 500 at the moment. WELL DONE!
Imagine reading how to play chess 101
now you must hit 2k
So, when the player says check mate does that mean the game's over ?
6:39 I can’t 😂
1v1 me pls
At 19:42 wouldn't bishop take pawn next to the queen be a better move, if black captured queen with knight then bishop captures blacks queen in return, rook retakes queen but doesn't threaten too much due to that area being locked down. And If queen captured bishop white actually wins a queen
CASTLE MANIA
1:13 title of soundtrack??
25:30
I just started playing chess about 2 months ago. I’m ok but I still have a lot to learn. It was cool to watch you learn too. I just learned how to play as black 2 days ago.
I don't want to trivialize her accomplishment at all.. but has anyone else reached over 1000 in 5 games? I just want to know if I'm missing something.. maybe where I gained this, the competition wasn't as stiff?
For that girl saying rooks on seventh doesn't have a name at 10:38: We call it pigs on the seventh !!
I play chess at my school. My classmates don't bully me for it they just think I'm smart and why would I tell them differently
Lol for a sec in the beginning I thought he was gonna embarrass her with the scholars mate. He sorta did but not in 4 moves
tbh i watched the vid for the advice
I wouldn't expect someone with very little chess experience to begin playing in tournaments after 4 weeks of practices. Probably double or triple the time before you're properly ready. For Michelle to at least be somewhat competitive in most games is actually an achievement although the extra assistance does detract from this.
Rainn most definitely saw that bishop attack on the rook moving the bishop was a complete mistake. I would have pounced on it like him.
I plateaued at 300 ELO 💀
ive watched this video for the 4th time now, its like a motivation to play chess again 😂
"Queen to F6"
And that is when all hope was lost.
Ok but seriously all things asides and my respects for this sport but dam can we take a moment to appreciate this young lady’s beauty like dam she is gorgeous. Ok back to it great video!❤
Something ive learned from any game which has a concrete value of improvement, such as a rating or ranking, dont focus on getting a higher rating or rank but instead focus on getting better
this is insaneeee
The Thumbnail is so stupid like have π and chess in commune
michelle is a genius at making this video. she made it look like a documentary. I also like hikaru sitting on that chair while in the interview. makes him look like a badass
what did he say?!. 19:52
This is like watching Beth Harmon learn chess. I love the Queen’s Gambit, and now love this too.
[12:23] Excellent way to remember the Sicilian Dragon 🐉.
😢
hikaru sitting in his grandmaster chair makes me just laugh in a good way
i was doing bad at prep school to grade 6 but my iq is above average (130-140) then i started playing chess (a few weeks ago)
Hey gotham anytime you want to coach me you can
Why are the Botez sisters shown when you said top chess players in the world? Alexandra's ranking is 27326 and Andrea is 67989. Neither are noteworthy players, they are entertainers. It would be like calling KSI one of the top boxers in the world.
