    I really appreciate this channel, I’m thirteen and I just started playing chess. Watching one of your videos gave me an immediate advantage over some of my family members. Aka my younger brother and mother. I haven’t played anyone else in my family. But I know most of them are really good. My grandpa is insane at checkers and chess, he can map out a whole plan and then put me in a trap and I lose. Chess so far is really fun and I feel “fancy” knowing how to play.

      Hold on to that. I loved chess when I was a kid. There was no internet (obligatory "back in my day" statement), but I'd check out move lists from games in the newspaper. I ran into a couple of masters that were just kind of jerks and it really soured me on the whole thing. I stopped playing and never went back. I wish I had kept up. Chess is one of the few pure competitions out there. Modern video games are loaded with RNG so bad players can beat better players and feel better about themselves. With chess, when you win, you deserved that win, 100% of the time. And when you lose, you can always go back and study why so that you can become better. I hope you keep learning and improving and most of all, keep enjoying it!

      @@michaeltorrisi7289 I'd add fighting games as a caveat to your point about RNG in video games. Fighting games don't have RNG and like chess, every win is deserved, and losses can be studied later. In fact, me learning fighting games has helped me learn chess since the same skills for analyzing your games and improving after a loss carry over.

    I learned a lot from this as a 600 player (no joke) you explained some concepts with the pins and control of the board that I haven't heard from my friends playing over the board, I'm going to try to be all sponge like and absorb this. Will have to watch it a second time. You have a great way of explaining the state of the board for a newer player. Cheers!

      @SandroMagna 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@CC-ip7xl Thanks for the explanation. I just don’t feel that locking in your queen when your rooks are out of play is the best strategy. Black could move qf6. If white goes rh3, black could go qf5. If white then threatens rock with bg5 black could either move pawn to f6 to later move the rook forward. Difficult to speculate, but generally I feel like trapping your queen behind a pawn and a knight isn’t the best idea.
