The Geometry of Chess : The Complete Guide | Part 1

[@EngineerGambit]

The second part of this series is out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqa0oWykgqaIoa8 Edit: At 3:26 the promotion comes with check Qc8+ (For those who thought that is winning for black) -At 9:36 I made a mistake and put two bishops of the same color which is illegal, I created some of these examples from scratch and I did not notice at the time, probably misclicked, the board can be very sensitive when you set up a position.

[@EngineerGambit]

I have more ideas to share, would you like to see part 2 to the Geometry of chess? 📐

[@RealityCheck1]

Yes sir, your videos are the most informative in youtube. Thank you for making them.

[@goals6588]

I'm new. Yes

[@lucaslibertas1299]

Sure thing!

[@goals6588]

@@lucaslibertas1299 your perspective is unique

[@VikasPandey-ho2ch]

Yes

[@robbymoonshot4975]

As a 1300 ELO player, I really enjoyed this perspective. I happen to also be an engineer and have a math degree, so this really hit a lot of good parts of my brain. Thanks.

[@EngineerGambit]

That's great to hear! love it

[@fereshkan]

Yeah Bro as the other people say, great video, we need more people doing this type of learning content. Definitely new sub

[@JerryCricketGaming]

Wow! I think like this too! This is awesome to find someone who looks at the board like this!

[@sanitize808]

Sweet! Some new concepts I learned. Love the king chasing the pawn and using the square as your basis if you gonna catch it. 🎉

[@jaybingham3711]

4:15 So crazy. Years of playing chess. Years of instruction and research. Years of hearing B pair offers about half a pawn benefit (often explained as arising due to the long range nature of B). Just flabbergasted that I have never read or heard that optimal coverage of squares is a key/relevant factor in terms of a match up of B pair against N pair. Stating that in terms of percentages of squares controlled is a fantastic way to help someone truly wrap their heads around why the B pair is often worth fighting for. [But not always...particularly in closed positions.] 👍

[@EngineerGambit]

I cut out extra footage of explaining percentages with the pieces in all files. It is eye-opening.

[@xray788]

What a mad algorithm pull. Thanks!

[@ItAintNecessarilySo]

Thank you for creating this! I would definitely like to see more of your ideas. I really appreciate how straight to the point you are

[@EngineerGambit]

I want to be efficient for you guys watching

[@jafar2940]

Thank you very much. This is the sort of tutorials we need, to help new chess players. Patterns and key themes are important to point out to new players as it’s not always obvious

[@AndreSampsn]

your effort is appreciated, fantastic vid. i learned something. thank you

[@yachtwork]

Wow, that was a nice set of fast and easy geometry of chess. Yes, part 2 please.

[@totalmonkeyspeed260]

Great video! (but please tell us who's turn it is when you ask us to pause the video and figure out a position, thanks🙂)

[@EngineerGambit]

Good feedback! Thanks 👍

[@RoshanSingh-we8vs]

Amazing video , very informative. And tactical.Thank you

[@joaolucasbraga4642]

Great video! Very instructive!

[@StefCornelis]

Really nice video. Maybe more examples of use cases in real games per idea. As well as geometry in finding tactics. Really good stuff

[@awequayzngs1780]

Thanks for your generous sharing. 😊 ❤❤❤

[@EngineerGambit]

No problem 😊

[@Chris_Traynor]

Super visuals!! Seeing the game play out with the coloured lines remaining superimposed over the centre was very helpful.

[@EngineerGambit]

Glad you like it!

[@g.l.8319]

Brilliant and to the point. Thank you

[@XIAOBAIZHANG-ym8pn]

good job！Chess Geometry, this series is recommended for at least 100 episodes, and I feel that there are still many topics to explore!

[@EngineerGambit]

Indeed, and it was such a great response to this video that I might take your recommendation.

[@michelborgesesc]

100 episodes? Calm down dude, this is not Dragon Ball Z lol. Great video, btw.

[@EngineerGambit]

@@michelborgesesc hahaha Dragon Ball is like 1000 episodes is it not? And they take like 200 to "checkmate" one guy. Here we do it much more quickly

[@dowaliby1]

This is fantastic! It shows that you put a lot of effort into this lesson. Thank you!

[@EngineerGambit]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it

[@robertorovida2108]

Yes please, I'd like you to post a video number 2 about chess geometry

Dropping in tomorrow!

[@muzammalsaeed3815]

[@sisez7820]

i feel like its a nice fact that if a bishop controls a knights movement if the they are 2 squares apart (horizontal or vertical).

[@EdwardEarl]

Great video!!!

[@BruceDumes]

This is fascinating! Thanks for it!

[@EngineerGambit]

No problem, thanks for watching 🙂

[@ISAIA1994]

I think i misunderstood the tactical geometry part, i suppose that part is just to explain but not to use during a chess game, for example king, rook and bishop against king and queen, it was a totally won endgame for withe pieces, but if you play rook in d8, then you will draw a won position.

[@EngineerGambit]

Without the timestamp I am a bit lost. I can say that some examples are just to show the visuals but I will only use real-game examples from now on to avoid confusion.

[@Mairatxxx]

Amazing !

[@chessplayercharlesv]

great video

[@annanay007]

I guess you are quite in love with the triangles. Also great session. Some things i wanted to point out have already been done by other in the section. Also got to know that you are on the autism spectrum which increased my respect for you even more.

[@EngineerGambit]

I have a reasonable love for triangles haha, thanks for your comment

[@HeeBeeGB]

Magnus Carlsen said the rule of the square didn't make sense to him, the best player in the world. I think the reason is the rule didn't say whose move is next

[@EngineerGambit]

@@HeeBeeGB I will drop this and leave kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3qci52tgZuHoZIsi=aO5sI5Tpb67nRWyz

GREAT IDEA

[@iigorjm]

Interesting!)

[@JPRodri21]

3:27 not equal the skewer wins for black. But I get what you mean.

[@EngineerGambit]

It is a draw. Once we promote it comes with check!

[@ureypordesimo5378]

yes

[@RasikaJalmi]

We can save bishop if they are in same file.(rook fork) We can save with diagonal..🤔

[@EngineerGambit]

In my example I made a mistake and put two bishops of the same color.

[@OworBenard]

bu surely at 3:27, white is completely lost but you say it is an equal position??? why???

[@EngineerGambit]

The promotion comes with check, then the black king has enought space to move and the game ends in a draw after trading Queens

[@SumanSourav66]

9.45 how come 2 white bishops in same color box ?

[@EngineerGambit]

Exactly, you resign immediately! haha as that is not a legal position. Check out the other comments

[@indyjoe6]

nice

[@jacksonterrance8833]

at 9:51 you have 2 white bishops on 2 black sqaures. Why are you using an example of something unrealistic? i like the video so far but like whatever color the knight is on only threatens the opposite color.

[@EngineerGambit]

Has been commented before like four times haha, I made a mistake there when placing the bishops.

[@jacksonterrance8833]

@EngineerGambit Its all good brother. Ive been trying to develop a game strategy that involves using the king offensively.

[@potatobanana197]

I found it comical but understood it was a mistake. Usually when your opponent has two dark squared bishops you should just resign because you're getting trolled.

[@darryljones7603]

2 bishops same color???

[@EngineerGambit]

@@darryljones7603 Sure!!! Why not? 😀haha, I don't know what you mean

[@robbymoonshot4975]

​@@darryljones7603 exactly, Bishops can protect each other, bad example on attacking with Rh8. @EngineerGambit Def meant to have opposite colored Bishops.

You are welcome! 🤗

[@kemphoss-4791]

My chess tactics tend to fall into the non-euclidean category

[@EngineerGambit]

Hahaha most chess is ecludian geometry, so your tactics look like ellipse?

[@kemphoss-4791]

@EngineerGambit they usually do not work out lol

[@EngineerGambit]

@kemphoss-4791 hehe, geometry joke

[@BijayBelbase-k2g]

Make video lhpw to improve from 1500 hundered

[@EngineerGambit]

I can totally do that!

[@dowaliby1]

I think this video right here should help a player of any level to improve their ELO.

[@mperson1890]

Informative but please don’t give so many examples in one video. Break up examples into smaller sections please. Just too much to absorb at least for me with my 986 ELO
