    I can’t stress enough how great it is to just jump straight into a video like this, sometimes a video really doesn’t need a 3 minute intro stating the obvious, and this is a brilliant example.

    Bishops, knights first
    Castle before you attack
    Don’t push your kingside pawn
    Don’t take out your queen too early
    Trade side pawns for center pawns
    Avoid doubling pawns
    Use open files and connect rooks
    Improve your pieces when you don’t know what to do
    Bishops are good in open positions, knights are good in closed positions, so trade accordingly
    Activate your king in the endgame…closer to the pawns…or to the center.

    Emphasizing pawn structure without over-explaining was nice too. It sucks when people go too far into this and start boring you with unnecessary extra info. Andrea does a very good job of keeping the topics moving without taking you too far down the rabbit hole. Great video for quick pointers!

    - Start pawns as usual you don’t want them on the outside of the board
    - Next move your nights and bishops
    - Castle next ~ king and castle swap
    - Don’t push your kingside pawns ~ don’t move the pawns in front of the king, they protect it
    - Keep the centre pawns as much as you can. Trade the side pawns (the ones next to the centre) for centre ones
    - as a general rule you don’t want to double pawn ~ have one pawn in front of the other ex. Pawn on D4 and D5 it makes it hard to advance
    - A good way to develop rooks (castles) is in an open file as opposed to a semi open file or a closed file. ~ Open file is where there are no pawns on it. Semi is 1 pawn, closed is 2 or more. A file is a vertical line on the board
    - WHEN YOU DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO: improve your pieces. Instead of just pushing pawns or taking pieces look if anything is badly placed
    - Bishops are better in open positions. ~ I think this is where the board is more open not necessarily less pawns but they are more spread out
    - Knights are better in closed positions. ~ I think this is where the pawns are close together making it harder for the bishop to move
    - Activate your king towards the end. This is when the queen is off the board so you don’t need to worry about checkmate

    @BrixyBrixhamite 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I accept these are sound generalised tips for learners however I would like to point out that whilst castling early has always been good advice for beginners it has the potential to be a weakness too.
    Firstly, after an early castling your king has lost the opportunity to select which side to occupy. In situations where white castles first any carefully timed delay in castling by black can potentially gain some initiative from white (this is actually the main opportunity black has to negate the advantage white has with the first move).
    Secondly,. after castling you may potentially be placing your king into a situation where it is harder to defend. On the whole a castled king is better defended normally, however in the wrong position castling can lead to an early end to the king (usually with a pawn storm followed by an attack down the flank towards the king.
    Just to confirm I do understand this is just generalised tips for learners but some players never get to find out that these tips that help them as learners may also introduce weaknesses into their game if exploited at the right time.

    Thank you so much for this video. A lot of your "don't dos" are exactly the things I was doing wrong. I will check back on this video frequently. I'm new to your channel, so I'm not familiar with your content. But I have a lot of trouble with end-game tactics and strategies. There might be just one or two moves to a checkmate, but I seem to miss those opportunities a lot. Do you have, or could you do a video like this for endgame tips?

    Whenever a woman speaks information she usually refers the the mystery opponent as “them or they or their” Which is very refreshing seeing we don’t know who the opponent is. Usually when men make these videos they always refer to the opponent as a “he” and it’s weird.

      Omg why does that matter so much. It literally effects or interferes with absolutely nothing in your life. People live such comfortable and privileged lives the dumbest shit offends them or makes them uncomfortable.

    So a piece being closed is when it’s blocked by it’s own pieces and therefore can’t move, correct?
    A piece being open is when it is not blocked by it’s own pieces and can therefore move, correct ?
    Bishop better to move in open positions and Knight better to move in closed positions.

    would be nice to have a series of these, moving up thro intermediate and beyond. I lack basic theory in the intermediate level, and could really use some direction there.
    This was excellent, btw, for beginners, i think, Andrea. Informative, without talking down to people.
