10 Golden Moves | Chess

---------------------

In chess in the beginning of the game, we want to bring out our army and get it ready to fight, and we also want to make sure that our king is safe. A lot of teachers use, what is called the ten golden moves, or sometimes it's also know as the bull's head, let me demonstrate.

White brings up a pawn to the center, his goal is then to bring up the other pawn to the center. The two pawns in the center are what is known as a duo, it's a very valuable thing to have, it acts as a shield and you can develop your pieces around and behind it. You can develop one knight here to f3, the other knight goes to c3, this is four golden moves. White brings up a bishop, five golden moves, brings up the other bishop, six golden moves. The king castles gets to safety, seven golden moves, brings up the queen to get out-of-the-way of the rooks, eight golden moves. Nine and ten, the rooks come to the middle of the board and these are the ten golden moves.

It's also known as the bull's head, the two center pawns are supposed to represent the forehead of the bull, the bishops are like it's horns and the rest of the pieces behind the two center pawns are like the body of the bull. And this whole unit is ready to go and start marching down the board and go get the black king.

These are known as the ten golden rules, you might not be able to get your pieces on to these exact squares every time yourself, in fact it's your opponents job to try to stop you from being able to do that. But this is the sort of thing you're trying to do with your pieces in the opening.

"Hold on, just gonna set up my golden move, please don't capture my pieces until I've established this, just 9 more moves"

But what if black player gets a turn? What do I do then?

People, this isn't about illustrating how the game should go... it's about making awareness of the most important opening moves

[johnkaminski]

People in these comments clearly don't understand the point of the video.

1:17 "Go get the black king" he looked around for a black person ! 😂

[dudemanaric]

I dont like how that one bishop isn't protected..

[ericfellner]

It works for beginners. Obviously you don't get the full "bulls head" without getting attacked, but it sets you up well enough to beat other beginners.

so i taught my grandpa that to win at chess we need to get the King
When we started he took a pawn and threw my king out of the board

i really like that this guy is so happy doing the vedio :3 it made me happy somehow :D

It's amazing how many people don't understand the point behind what he is showing.

Sometimes I like to give myself the first 8 moves and then play against the engine turned all the way up. Only condition is for my first 8 moves I have to stay on my side of the board so I can't cross over past the 4th rank. It's a good exercise

This video is half done
Why?
Because black didn't make a single move..

[TheRostami]

this guy play chess alone with himself too much:)

11th golden move: make an escape square for your king by playing h3 while your boys are busy getting their asses kicked!

As an old beginner, I found this really valuable. I can use this to help teach my kids too. Thanks.

[tahaification]

Very simple yet very articulate

My opponent did exactly this in an elementary chess competition and I just used another Howcast tutorial against them

[warholster]

i like this enthousiasm in explaining this moves :)

[ralphzoontjens]

Great advice...for when your opponent places his knights out and back in 3 times :)

[jasonhenderson]

I've gotten setup many times and it creates many possibilities I love it
