Came here to learn chess after watching the Queens Gambit

[@aliaduckworth9407]

Hahahaha me too!!

[@ChessHoodie]

The video is nice, but the castling move was explain incorrectly (The king should go to c1 and not not to b1 and the rook should go to d1)

[@rosalinequeen8416]

@@ChessHoodie how do i do a promotion if chess sets don’t come with extra bits?

[@ChessHoodie]

@@rosalinequeen8416 you can improvise, with whatever you have available, it is common to put a rook upside down instead of extra queen if available

Pawn is not the weakest they are front line like Infantry and crucial and very important for the infrastructure! And the only piece that have the potential to be greater than all the pieces except the King!!

Trying to learn to play with my boyfriend per his suggestion. I think it’d be easier to just find a new boyfriend. 🥴

[@UTU49]

Yeah, I think couples benefit from accepting that they may not share all interests. You may or may not enjoy learning chess. Chess may or may not come to feel that it is part of who you are. Perhaps some time in the near future, you will come to the conclusion that chess is just not a thing that fits into your life or your identity. Or perhaps chess will decisively become a part of your life. Perhaps one day in the future, if someone asks you if you are a chess player, you will feel very comfortable saying, "Yes I play chess." Nobody can know whether or not chess will become a part of your life until you find out for yourself. I've got a good, related story. My best friend and his wife are super nice and thoughtful people. At the beginning of their relationship, they thought that they should each watch every single one of the others favorite movies. This was a mistake. My friend likes movies about serial killers. His wife does not like them at all. It took them a little while to figure out that it just wasn't working for her to watch all of his favorite movies. Some of them were just way to violent or grim or depressing for her. My friend has many positive qualities, but, like everybody else, he does have his blind spots.

fun fact : whatever tile bishop is on will stay on that color for the rest of the game , ex : if bishop is on white tile , can only stay on that tile and cant go to a black one.

[@UTU49]

I am not a good chess player, but I do feel that I have a good handle on nearly all the rules. I don't think you can call yourself a serious chess player until you understand exactly how the 3 special moves work: the pawn's optional initial 2-square move, castling, and the en passant pawn capture. I also feel that I have a decent understand of some of the main chess principles and tactics. I do not know chess openings and endings. I'm explaining this in order to communicate that I am not a chess expert, and also to introduce the fact that I think I have unique and astute ways of thinking of the characteristics of the different pieces. Here are ways I perceive the different pieces. I've read a couple of chess books, but I've never felt that any of them perceived the pieces the way I do or compared the pieces to each other the way I do. 1. If you've read this far then I'm sure you already know that Rooks can move only along rows and columns, and that Bishops can move only along diagonals. 2. The King can move only one square but in any direction. 3. Here's where I think I have a unique perspective on Chess. The Rook, the Bishop, and the King can be seen as the conceptual building blocks, needed to understand all the other pieces. 4. The Queen has all of the abilities of both the Rook and the Bishop. Therefore, the Queen can be seen as being a Rook-Bishop... Or a Super-King. You can also think of the King as being a Limited-Queen. 4. Similarly, I think of the Knight as being an Anti-Queen... And I also think of it as a Spider, because it can typically move to exactly 8 other squares evenly spaced around the Knight. 5. The Pawn has a limited ability to move and capture like the King does, so I think of a Pawn as a Limited-King. 6. Pawns work together, move slowly, are a limited threat, and form a limited barrier... So I think of a group of 2 or 3 or more pawns as behaving like a barbed wire fence. I have never seen anyone else talk about the pieces using these perceptual concepts, but they certainly help my understanding of how all the pieces move and how their abilities compare to one another. If anyone wants clarification on what I mean by any these ideas, I'm happy to clarify.

Brief and super-helpful, thanks

[@morry271]

You forgot about the 'Petunk' move, its a common variation of the game It goes like this: If a player has not moved his Rook with 8 moves the opposing player then has the power of Petunk. This only lasts for a further 8 moves before being cancelled. At any time during those 8 moves the player with the power of Petunk can throw HIS or her Rook AT the opposing player. The purpose is to strike your opponent in the head scoring 3 'Petunk points' Cruically they must also shout 'PETUNK !' loudly or the move is invalidated Since it is done without warning there is a good chance of scoring HOWEVER, if the player on the receiving end of the Petunk can deflect the piece using his hands then he scores a single point AND the power of Petunk is handed to that player and their opponent becomes 'Un-Petunked '

[@shilpac7153]

[@diegollanos9968]

this variation kinda sucks ngl

[@Yassmin_201]

Those are the basics

[@patriciaboatman8423]

So who's keeping up with the 8 moves or no moves? Do you write moves down this confused what l just watched😂

[@subtoxic3843]

3:32 you say that you have to change the piece what if you’re playing and your opponent hasn’t taken any of your pieces can you still pretend that the pawn is Queen knight Bishop etc? Or are you only allowed to change into a piece that has been taken?

[@alexisturkalo2343]

You show Queenside castling wrong. The King should wind up on C1, and the Rook on D1. When castling in either direction, the King always moves 2 squares, with the Rook "jumping" to the other side of the King.

[@patriciaboatman8423]

Now I'm totally confused😅 Though I have been woundering about the numbers and alphabet on sides

This position at the end of the game seems similar to the position in the tie break game 1 match for the 2018 world championship against Fabiano.

The king castling to left(queenside) is wrong. The king only move 2 spaces, not three as shown in video.

[@dhananjaykrishnaPianist]

I wana know clearly of stalemate can u explain sir?

[@opendoorchess]

Hello. Stalemate happens when someone's King is not in "check", but they have no legal moves to play on the board. The game then ends in a draw. Hope that helps.

[@tobywilson8069]

Good game

[@Thegodofwar32756]

I understand it now

[@melissadura4021]

6:36 I don't understand how there can be only two Kings left on the board and still in play if only two kings being left on the board results in a draw (mentioned just before)?

[@opendoorchess]

The video made it a bit confusing, but you're right. If there are only Kings on the board, the game would immediately end in a draw (draw by insufficient material). For the video example they should have put a few more pieces on the board. All the best!

[@strangerintheselands251]

only on the counter and from behind

[@theepicenter4106]

Did not explain castling from the other side. Did not explain where to get the promotion pieces.

[@David717717]

Well that explanation wasn't very well, as it was mainly about edge cases. Who ever wants to play this beautiful game, play it without these edge cases in the begining. Just remember: Rock - move in straight lines. Bishop - move in diagnols. Knight - 2 squares straight and one sqare aside. Queen - straight and diagnols. King - like queen but only one sqare. Pawn - moves only forward one swaure each time, and can move 2 squares at the first time it moves. It eats in diagnol (one sqare in diagnol). If pawn reaches the last line, he can becomes what ever you chose. The goal: threat the king of the other side, and that king has nothing to do. Check mate.

Would be even more helpful if you’d talk a little slower instead of like you’re in a rush to cram it all together. 👍
