By far the most simplified introduction to chess I’ve encountered. Call this “chess introduction for dummies “. Well done.

[Jon-zyzd]

I’m just tired of watching Queens of Gambit and not knowing wtf they’re doing

[sushilranakoti]

Who else felt to learn chess during lockdown😂

[vernonhimes]

You explain the game chess in 11 minutes and 57 seconds very well done

[MultiSpazzo]

This is the only chess tutorial i've watched that makes sense to me, thankyou. I really want to learn.

[ellam]

“Yes, this is called a KNIGHT and NOT a horse.” 🤦🏼‍♀️😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍🏼

[Piezo__]

i thought chess was extremely complicated to learn but from this video i found put it's really simple, thank you!

[annasibu]

Learn like a pawn, always move forward and never go back

[introextronerd]

I wanted to learn something new so decided to learn Chess, there's a lot of rules to remember but this video sure cleared a lot. Thanks

[Rosannasfriend]

This is the clearest chess tutorial video to me.

[samialnaji]

Who’s here after Netflix Queen’s Gambit 😂

[exgnyaana]

Who came here during lockdown in 2020?

[marishkavrodrigues]

I am so grateful to you for this simple and effective tutorial video on chess! I always thought it was out of my understanding to learn this game but I can safely say that I have picked up all your points on the first go and can now play chess smartly! Thanks a ton!

[chrystaljanepante]

Who's here after watching queen's gambit?

[prasantasarma]

Who else knows how to play chess but still watching ? 😂

[stormysampson]

After watching, "The Queen's Gambit", I want to play the game. Fantastic movie series!

I think 'trials' you set up, to go through all the permutations of one dilemma. I would very much like to set up a game and be led, step by step, through the THINKING of Chess. This would make oh so much sense to me. I love being tested and THAT is where we learn the best and fastest.

If you chess people have not watched Queen's Gambit, I am telling you I think you would eat it up!

[drutgat]

Thank you very much for this. I am sending it to a friend who I have persuaded to play chess with me online, but who has forgotten how to play. This is a much better introduction to chess than another I watched when I was looking for a good introductory video to the moves of the pieces, and the rules.

[mohijadu]

I like to play chess during test and exam times because it improves the memory power

[swapnajanagama]

Thank you so much for pretty clear explanation and covering all the points
Question 1:
@ castling .... what if king already met with check in few steps before the time to castling....
explain with this two conditions....
condition 1: king did not move in earlier check.

Question 2: must say check or check mate
Q1: Do the player has to say it verbally ...
Q2 :what if he did not say... is there any chance for opponent to concider it as non check and take advantage of it.
Q3: what if the check and check mate are said interchanble ...does opponent get advatage here as well.
Q3: what if after seeing the check also opponent made a wrong move

Question 3: can you cover how to calulate points.
condition1: when it is stalemate or other kind of draw ... still the reamaining pieces gets their points or both players get equal points.
please give some more clarity in these bits. Thank you.

Question 4: the 50 moves . Does each get 50 moves each or 25 moves per player.
