[@bradevans7107]

One helpful thing I discovered with realizing wether an opponents knight Is capable of forking your pieces is looking at the color of the squares the pieces in question are sitting. Knights always alternate color on squares with every move. If your queen & king (for example) are on opposing colors of each other, there is no threat as a pair of being forked by a nearby knight. If the king & queen are sharing the same color as a nearby knight, the threat of getting forked on the next move is a possibility.

[@RandomPerson-iy1on]

Thanks, this was helpful.

[@MultiMaverix]

This was helpful. Used to calculate in my mind. This is much easier! Tyvm

[@minimilchshaker8219]

And also the knight has to be on the same color as the two other pieces to fork in one move, meaning all three pieces have to be on the same color

Thanks! I'm enjoying this as both a refresher *_and_* a learning opportunity. I've so often found that it's not only useful, but fun to bone-up on various subjects by going back to basics. As often as not, I actually *_do_* learn something new. You never know when someone will include an explanation you never encountered before, or an analogy you never thought of, that brings you something new. I'm finding the terminology particularly helpful. I've been a (very) casual chess player since I was in my early teens (I'm 54.) And I do like reading through famous games & books by ranked chess players. But I've mostly played computers - either those little game machines, or computer software games. I've decided recently that I should bone-up with an eye to playing socially more. So thanks for this well-done series. One note: @14:45 - Yes, White's Rook is clearly in a superior locale, occupying the 7th rank. But let's not forget to also mention that a huge part of its power lies in the fact that it sits on an open file - the *_dream_* of every rook!. 𝓡𝓲𝓴𝓴𝓲 𝓣𝓲𝓴𝓴𝓲.

[@razzogaming8861]

The main problem I have and most players have but is never talked about is understanding what to do before the opposite player does a pin a skewer etc or recognising it or a possible checkmate from your opponent and how to stop it everyone focuses on teaching you attack yet they never teach you defense and that what makes the difference between being an amateur and intermediate player because they usually overlook the attack of their opponents because they looking for the best attack move which isn't there and they blunder but that's what they taught as well as they don't know pawn defense and how to push your opponent back to control more space because its not all about material gain

[@metasamsara]

So I knew how to move the pieces and have a really bad game for almost two decades now, but I only started looking more into strategy and how to get better. I saw on Lichesse a guide that was saying to control the center, and now I almost always open like that with the two middle pawns, the knights for support and getting the bishops out a bit later, and I've improved a lot as a result. I lose a lot less, my games feel a lot more balanced and curved in their progression. Now I often save my rooks till the late game when I used to lose them early most of the time, and I have much better strategic openings for my queen as I'm able to maintain tempo, which is a term I barely understood before as I was playing too reactively. Feels really nice to see the progress and I had one of my best games ever recently, I had this feeling of complete mastery over the opponent instead of the usual lucky win, I want more of this! What should I focus on next, learning more about tempo, mid game and end game? Or maybe focus on learning openings?

[@sharonjuniorchess]

It all depends. Where do you feel weakest? Learning tactics is quite hard but I find solving daily chess puzzles helps to improve my tactical skills where there is one move that is best to take. If you are forever chasing your opponents king around the board trying to put them into checkmate then study the different ways in which you can get your opponent into checkmate. Silman's 'Complete Endgame Course: From Beginner To Master' is a good introduction. As you improve in one part of the game you can switch to another part of the game and improve your skills and repertoire.

Great stuff. your videos are a real eye opener for beginners like me, thank you. I can now see exactly where I've always gone wrong. I've never beaten my father at chess, and I've decided to take up learning the game beyond just casual beer and pretzels game and step it up a notch. One day I will beat my father. Oddly, I play a lot of battle (the Total War series) strategy games, and not to boast, but I'm deadly at them. When playing a battle say in the Roman era (or any pre gun powder era) you need to not only know your own troops intimately (armour, weapons, stamina, how best to apply said weapons, weaknesses and strengths) more important is knowing the battle field. Every slight rise in the land and tiny shrub and make all the difference in obtaining your victory. Everyone knows about knowing your enemy, but most forget their own troop, and how terrain will affect them. That's more important. With that, you can win any battle. Finally, now I see chess in a more interesting light, similar to battle. The only difference between the two, is that chess is bound by rules that can be predicted. As where a battle allows creativity and art. The more you think out the box, the more dangerous you become to your enemies. imagination is vital. However, love the videos, and thank you for inspiring me to get into the game.

[@tamie341]

While this is a good thought, it lacks a bit of perspective. Chess is called "the perfect game" not because it is the most complex or has the most variability (like rts games) but that it is an optimal blend of perfectly balanced sides, just enough restraints to make it extremely strategical, and simples rules which make it easy to learn but hard to master. The difference with any rts game is the added complexity and variability (different races & units, increased degree of freedom, resource management, etc.) brings with it balance issues. Thus it isn't a pure demonstration of strategy. Obviously it makes things more exciting but those games will never be as pure a form of strategy as chess

3:35 - I don't understand why a fork can only be by a knight or a pawn. Maybe it's semantics that I've misunderstood all these years, still being a relative novice, but why can't a fork be a rook moving between two pieces, either of which it could take? For example, an opponent bishop is on b4 and d4, and you move your rook to c4. Isn't that a fork?

5:05 Why not move the h7 pawn to h6? Hence, it forces the bishop to move, unless he wants to take the horse (Which would be stupid).

[@thetong1982]

You certainly could play 1) h7 but what does that accomplish? 1)...Bh4 2) g5 Bg3. White maintains a strong diagonal on the dark bishop while completely unraveling your kingside pawn structure. Your f7 pawn is now potentially backward and, when played, your e6 pawn is now backward. It just doesn't do much positive for black and certainly doesn't hurt white.

@snorlax42 en passant translates to "while passing" or "in passing" and that's exactly what it is. It's when the opponents pawn "passes" your pawn with its first pawn move up two squares.

[@darchangel2136]

Actually, knights can perform skewers as well. Especially when checking, you can maneuver your knight to a place where it threatens not two but *three* pieces at once and from there your opponent is left with the simple choice of which piece to lose. It is a difficult move to pull off, but when it works it is bloody brilliant. I've found that chess is full of amazing ways to manipulate your opponent's pieces and make them do your bidding...

[@CoconutJewce]

+Atte Rahikkala A pawn on its starting rank can be taken by a pawn if it moves 2 spaces, as seen in the video. Google "en passant" if you need more clarification. This rule was made because pawns used to only be able to move 1 space at a time at any given time. But, people wanted the game to move faster, and allowed pawns to move 2 spaces when initially moving from their rank. As such, a rule (en passant) was implemented in order to check the pawn's ability to move 2 spaces.

[@autumn4442]

A very easy checkmate in very late game when you find your opponent with less powerful pieces than you is by using 2 rooks or a rook and a queen to walk the enemy king to one side of the board, having the king kept at bay by one rook/queen and the other rook/queen puts the king in check, resulting in a checkmate. It is almost like the checkmate at 10:28, but instead of pawns blocking the king, it is the other rook/queen. A very basic checkmate, almost impossible for your opponent to wiggle out of it, but it isn't very common to come across unless you are a beginner and you are playing against a beginner.

A stalemate is a draw. In a stalemate the king is not in check. This is a type of checkmate that is simply called smoothered mate because the king is suffocated by his own pieces.

13:45 "Nor can you move two moves, because of your ??????" What is being said here? Also i dont understand the move he illustrates with the white pond.

[@kennymarino3521]

It's called en passant. It can only be played in the first move of a pawn. If a pawn moves up two squares on its first move, which is shown, but could have been captured if it had only moved one square, it can be captured by an enemy pawn.

I am loving these videos, but "strategical" is not a word. Just say "strategic". Please...

[@dhess34]

'Strategical' very much IS a word, and it's found in literally every dictionary. "Strategical. adjective. of, relating to, or characteristic of strategy." Pretty sad that you can't recognize when it should be used...

[@jaso747]

@@dhess34 Indeed. We note, however, that it is not used by better-educated people.

En passant is *THE* stupidest rule in any game.

[@AlexE5250]

I love using en passant on people that don't know about it. Every time i use it with a friend they always are confused.

[@backyard282]

No it's just that you're ignorant and don't know the historical incident in chess of how and why this rule has been implemented. If you wish to check that info out, then Google is your friend. Regards

I've been playing my brother for years at chess, Im just looking for sum advantage we might of forgotten cos I haven't won a game in a couple of months. I have watched this a few times over the years and I usually don't get any better but it's worth a watch after being away the game for a while.

At 3:27 it shows the knight moving to fork the king/queen and how it wouldn't work because he would he recaptured. How can the queen recapture the knight if the knight is in position to capture her? Am I missing something or is this just a mistake in the video?

[@plasterbrain8567]

He said that if the queen was a knight it wouldn't work he just didn't change the visuals

Near the end you moved the pawn diagonally and said it was called some French term. What is this movement?? I thought pawns can never move diagonally unless killing an opponent's peice
