I think its a lot more simple once you know the names of the pieces and where they go and where on the board they can move. the difficult thing is once you start playing and the strategies to win. you have to think about what your opponent might do and even think like 2 moves or more ahead.

[@ChessNetwork]

I like the approach to teach the game via animation. 😎 A few useful points to note: 1. Regarding the board orientation...there's a catchy phrase for the corner square, "light on right". 2. Announcing "check" when you give check to your opponent is not a rule. 3. There is one additional rule regarding castling...You cannot "castle through check" (i.e. if black guards f1, white cannot castle to his/her right [kingside])

[@VroodenTheGreat]

I have played chess a long time... just started teaching people... Here are a couple of good pointers... 1) Always trade up... if you can't trade for a higher value piece, don't trade. 2) Try to threaten a piece on every move, if it's safe... this prevents them from doing whatever they want and allows you to control the next move. 3) Watch what they do. If they move a piece, figure out WHY before you decide your next move. Most strategies require 3 to 5 moves to pull off. There are more but I'm tired of thinking about chess today.

Join the Freemasons, it has everything, witchcraft, and Chess on a global scale!! The 'Conspiracy theorists' love to refer back to the Illuminati card game which I bought a year ago. That is the only card game I'll play that actually uses world secret societies and scumbag political propaganda moves just to conquer the sheeple of society. The theory is that the world elites and organizations are using media, big pharma, etc to control the population in order to rule the world. It's like a 21st-century version of chess but can be played, 2-6 players. Rumor has it the creator of the game is a Freemason.

[@conspiracymusic7480]

I've played chess for years and this tutorial is boggling my mind. I don't think newer players need to know about the names of ranks and files. That alone is a bit misleading and unnecessarily complicates an already grossly complicated game. Naming the files and ranks is only necessary for theory or introducing rated play which beginners won't be doing for many months if not many years. Also, in one of your slides you suggest guarding the king at all times, which is true, however...you have the king guarded by impossible or illegal pawn positions on the back-rank, which again, is very misleading...since pawns can only move forward, not backwards. The later bit about "winning strategies" is snake oil to me. There isn't such a thing without peeling back literally thousands of layers worth of opening, mid-game and end-game theory if we're to assume both players are at appreciable levels of experience. What you definitely don't want to do to a beginner playing chess is try to overly simplify this game, because that's not how it's played. Moves that can theoretically checkmate in 3-4 only work on the people watching this very tutorial. Chess is one of those games where you can only teach the basics unfortunately. You can teach how pieces move, you can teach how to set the board, you can teach illegal and legal moves but that's essentially it. You can't teach tactics to beginners, you can't teach advanced positioning to beginners, you can't teach openings or very subtle elements that define the very core of this board game. That has to come with experience, preference and with a hands-on-approach.

some tips from a long time chess player 1) use all of your pieces, dont leave a knight or bishope to rott in a corner , try to use them all 2) dont move your king , moving your king out of the 1st / 8th row before late game is a bad idea , simple pawns can put you in check and then all you can do is defend 3) dont just move all pawns forward , keeping a few in their starting position or on your half of the board 4) a personal thing , but try to never lose bishopes , a well placed bishope can take a rook if the oponent doesnt realize he is opening a diagonal path , and another thing , a bishope can prevent pawns from moving since you can keep control over a diagonal row , you can prevent a protection wall ( 1 pawn protecting the other) from being made 5) use knights aggressively and try to fork the enemy , either by going between the enemy king and rook , or if possible king and queen , the oponent has to move the king and you get a 5 / 9 pawn value piece for free ( or at worst , you trade a 3 point knight for it ( and unlike bishopes where the strength lies in having both alive , losing 1 knight for a higher value piece always is worth it 6) if you have 2 bishopes in late game you can always force the enemy king into a corner , simply by moving one bishope at a time diagonally to force the king to move into the only direction ( left / right ) or even put him in checkmate if he gets trapped in a pawn corner / wall 7) for weak oponents , try trading queens , many new players use the queen in late game due to her covering half the board if she stands in the middle , especially if you know how to play well with knights and bishopes 8) with knights its important to think 3-5 steps ahead , if you move it out of your rows , think about where you could make a fork , where to bait pawns to losen the enemy lines of defense ( sometimes i just move both knights around after having a middle opening to prevent the enemy from making a stonewall opening for example ( for example , make the enemy move the d7 Pawn to d5 with a knight , retreat , then move the other one to d4 to force another pawn to move ( if the enemy ignores this you have a knight right in front of their base and will sooner or later get a fork opportunity 9) try to keep both rooks for the end game , rooks are easy for checkmate . you just need to force the king to the last row , block the row in front with 1 rook and then put him in check with the other

If there's a board game that is most rage inducing, it's definitely chess (believe me, I know from experience). But, on the other hand, it's also the most satisfying. The feeling you get when perfectly outplaying and out smarting your opponent is incredible, no other board game can achieve it.

[@OlayeFavour]

6:16 In professional tournaments, it's not allowed to say the word "check" out loud as it is regarded as a disturbance to your opponent. Professional players usually notice a check so there'll be no need of saying it, however, if your opponent didn't see the check(which is almost impossible), it's allowed to tell him/her about the check, then your opponent would take back his move and play another move to put his king to safety.

[@cndbrn7975]

Just to add a few things: 1. Don't make too many pawn moves in the opening. 2. You should avoid moving the same piece twice, in the opening. 3. You should have all your pieces developed with your King castled and rooks connected within 10-12 moves. 4. Look for undefended pieces. 5. If you're down material (pieces) avoid trades. 6. If you have a space advantage (meaning your pawns/pieces are further developed) avoid trades. 7. When attacking, an easy way to calculate if you can win that piece is, if attackers = defenders (2 attackers vs 2 defenders) you need another attacker.

[@arnaldosandoval453]

Chess history includes some attempts into introducing new pieces, one of them was the "aeroplane" in the early 1900s, this piece was able to move over your own or rival's pieces (like an airplane); it has all the movement as the Queen. The "aeroplane" piece did not have its own column, you were able to promote one of your pawns when reaching the rank before promoting! The other piece was the minister, it combined all the Queen's movements plus the knight, making it the only piece able to deliver un-assisted check-mates; the "minister" piece sat between the "King and Queen", so adding an extra column to the chess board.

Bishops and knights are worth equal btw, it is true that the bishops are generally more powerful than knights but they are considered equal pieces since sometimes a knight in a position is way more efficient than a bishop.

yeah but computers played millions of simulated games and came to a conclusion that bishops are more useful in more games than that of the knights. hence they raise of .5 in value
