[@prakashrana3258]

Nicely produced video

[@Muhamad_Faiz]

The way James and Chilwell play the cless can show how they think on the pitch. James tend to move his pawn one step by one step foward and looking to make his own area compact to protect the king. Just like defender mindset. While Chilwell tend to play his pawn further and take some risk to operate on opposition area by move his chess in creative style to create opportunity to checkmate James' king. Just like creative midfilder mindset.

[@peaceandlove1255]

Knights on the rim, too much pawn movement, moving the same pieces twice in the opening. Can I be the Chelsea chess coach?💙

[@chizzmaster]

Don't forget Reece destroying his pawn structure! Nowhere for the king to hide haha.

[@Dr.LingLangYT]

yes u can

[@itskyyuuuu]

[@matthias2756]

White king on d4 to start the game, plays the Grob, moves the king into check, not even checkmate as they could just take the undefended queen Literally one of the worst chess videos out there

Wait - Chillwell blundered his queen!? pause the board at 2:13 Then (2:31) instead of RJ taking this blundered queen with either his king or his own queen - He makes an illegal move to a square he's not allowed to move to XD - Then BC just says checkmate, that's not how checkmates work Chilly!! Also the queens gambit style animation from 2:15 to 2:17 is from a completely different game than the one shown And finally A "King's Gambit" is not a thing (description). A gambit means sacrificing a piece to gain an advantage. But you cant get an advantage by giving away check mate 😂 Its literally the only piece you cant ever gambit. However - I still enjoyed the video!! Those two should stick to football though lol
