Im still young and I want to begin my journey with chess
Appreciate this for us total Noobs. Im 48yo and have always wanted to learn the game. great start here.
This video was 🔥 thank you for explaining that pawn rule I did it by accident and couldn’t replicate it 😂
Nice video👍️👍️
i want to take a one on one chess tutoring class from you 🥹
New to chess love your videos thanks alot
I used these tactics and I won my friend thank you we were beting 😃😎
How do I deal with time anxiety? It doesn't matter whether I have 1, 3, 10 or 15 minutes, it always feels like I just can't think clearly at all (more or less from the beginning of the game)…
I know it would probably get easier if I just exposed myself to it lots of times, the only problem is it's not fun at all anymore when the time anxiety sets in 🙁
Any tips for attitudes/training approaches/etc that might help?
The best chess players to ever exist will come in the next 10-20 years because of the internet. The amount of knowledge available out there for free is insane compared to just 10 years ago.
Still too abstruse and convoluted.
At 23 minutes and 1 second Queen c3
fuck en pessant
Thanks a lot for such an easy explanation
En passant… cool learned something already
The idea of pieces seeing each other and weighing the trade-offs is fascinating, Funny how these principles appear in other areas of life, like war and economics.
the first tip is already game changing
in your face
Thanks that was awesome. Agree with @BenCarter – Loved chess as a child but my family only ever wanted to sit in front of the tv day and night. If I COULD occasionally convince them to play, they didn't really understand, were drinking alcohol or were distracted so I gave up. We lived in the middle of nowhere so it was very difficult for me to find a friend to play with or join a club. As an adult I played a few casual games and noticed that I was actually very good. Decided to train on moves and strategy and am very much enjoying it here on YouTube with all of the courses. Thank you for your excellent videos – I like yours the most 🙂
My goal is now to become really good at chess but call the knights horsies
Awesome video. Nice work, very well explained, I am currently playing my first computer games. Subscribed!
I want to play chess but I'm noob😞
I have been playing checkers on hard mode of Russia, American standard and Italian, i find the hard mode very easy and i wanted to clear my mind and make new tactics so I found out chess was wayyyyyyh harder so i want to give it a try.
He looks a bit like Harry Potter won't u agree, a older version perhaps
Defending more like avenging
I didn’t even know the on basaunt thing existed. I don’t know how to spell it tho
Fantastic video!
i feel inferior looking at this video

Pawn to F3 pawn to G4
Now you are in check
It's unavoidible!
This video is the best video on chess I have ever seen. This video explains chess so so well. And it really helped me. Thank you so much. I also love your thinking.!
To anyone that sees this, how important would you say is finding the check mate in one when you see a guaranteed check mate in three? In other words, is there a reason to search for a shorter checkmate if you see a guaranteed one in three or more moves.
It was excellent. Thank you!
Only a third of the way through and i'm feeling like i have a good grasp on the game. Never played or even know how to play. Thank you for this video! I hope to get into chess some day.
Hence the name Gotham? Lost already.
Do computers understand difficulty? A chess game I downloaded has 10 levels. Level 1 is hard not to win. Level 2 is near impossible for me to win.
Something I have for remembering the starting place for the royalty is they are on D and E which says de but I says DE ROYALTY
Was always intimidated by chess since I never got into it when I was young. This video was a nice intro.
Thanks for teaching me Pro Chess Player, I am just a new begginer!
It looks like a software glitch got me ;D
Thank you so much for making this video Gotham. My pops taught me chess in the 80’s, and we both loved following the Karpov/Kasparov matches. I lost interest when I got into middle school and basically haven’t played for 30 years. I’ve always loved games and I’ve gotten really into several over the years- Scrabble, Axis & Allies, Stratego, Spades, and most especially Poker, which I’ve played a couple times a week for almost 20 years now. But after hearing Lex Fridman dive into the world of chess over the past couple months, interviewing Magnus and Hikaru and the Botez sisters and of course yourself- I’m finally ready to get back into the game.
I'm 39.Played only 2 games.
I use this to make me sleepy
Andrew tate sent me
My dad's teaching me chess He told me that we play chess so that we know how to think
Brilliant examples, thank you! ♟️♟️♟️
i thought gotham was modelled on chicago…
how does one send you a game to look at?

A cannot play chess for real. Anytime someone calls “check”, I just throw the board, salute and yell prouďy “Czech!!!”
Please I'll really need help learning chess…
And would love to make some friends as well that'll exchange interest motivations with me…
I'm Patrick
