What game is this?:
Chess is a recreational and competitive board game played between two players. It is sometimes called Western or international chess to distinguish it from related games such as xiangqi. The current form of the game emerged in Southern Europe during the second half of the 15th century after evolving from similar, much older games of Indian and Persian origin. Today, chess is one of the world's most popular games, played by millions of people worldwide at home, in clubs, online, by correspondence, and in tournaments.

Chess is an abstract strategy game and involves no hidden information. It is played on a square chessboard with 64 squares arranged in an eight-by-eight grid. At the start, each player (one controlling the white pieces, the other controlling the black pieces) controls sixteen pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. The object of the game is to checkmate the opponent's king, whereby the king is under immediate attack (in "check") and there is no way for it to escape. There are also several ways a game can end in a draw.

Organized chess arose in the 19th century. Chess competition today is governed internationally by FIDE (International Chess Federation). The first universally recognized World Chess Champion, Wilhelm Steinitz, claimed his title in 1886; Magnus Carlsen is the current World Champion. A huge body of chess theory has developed since the game's inception. Aspects of art are found in chess composition; and chess in its turn influenced Western culture and art and has connections with other fields such as mathematics, computer science, and psychology.

One of the goals of early computer scientists was to create a chess-playing machine. In 1997, Deep Blue became the first computer to beat the reigning World Champion in a match when it defeated Garry Kasparov. Though not flawless, today's chess engines are significantly stronger than even the best human players, and have deeply influenced the development of chess theory.

Great vid as always. Strange mouse slip indeed.

I have a video request: You mentionned the bayonet attack back in the days as a response to the kings Indian. Can you do a video on it? Or recommend a good resource to learn it? (Not much on YouTube)

The computer analysis seems to show that IM an GM play is all good, but some good is still better than other.

Black can’t give away that d6 outpost in the Sicilian. That don’t go well. Posted for the algorithm. Thanks for the content sir.

[ianmendham]

That’s what I kept thinking, why not take with the knight? Ofcourse Stockfish saw about 50 moves further than me 🙄.

You mentioned in one of your old videos that online tactics trainers was a waste of time but you changed your mind and said (to the comment) see my latest video. Since it was a while ago I cannot locate it. Could you point me to the video about this? Thanks and great content

[whauk]

You had a win against Aronian? Show us that game!

[irjake]

My plans would work better if I got to play 10 moves in a row too!

[kevinwellwrought]

How can we learn to play chess blindfold?

[botramduuze]

That "Chicos/chicas" line is getting a bit old.
But nice video anyway, as always!
