How to Play Chess : Chess Middle Game Tips

[SuperSpable]

New York public schools, this should be good.

[justforVIDEOSqmz]

I like watching these videos... they help a lot for a beginner chess player.

[SUPERMARIOROCKSYES]

Why am I watching this?

[gusstavoh]

Can someone guess why the BLACKs should win this game? ahhaha

(I'm not racist, this is just a funny comment, please)

[TeamLattiee]

rhis guy sounds like amanuel from dormtainment

[ttimt96]

if i didnt castle, that means im always on start game? LoL

[molk123ful]

heh why would any1 try to defend a pond...

[TheHanRiu]

@molk123ful *Pawn

[ricc2154]

@molk123ful Because that pawn can give you an extra queen. 1 queen + 1 queen = domination.

[TheMonsterXavier]

fritz Gaspard = most epic name ever

[Liamautomechanic]

GOOD VIDEO

[beebee1234cde]

this is great fun

[GreenAchers]

Much appreciated lesson! Thank you.

[futur101]

Your explanation of strategy is fab

[arb5182]

very nice

[CarlosAvilla]

4:10 I wish I could do that =.=

so creative :P

[CarlosAvilla]

at 1:05 he tilted the queen accidently =.=

I hate messed up chess boards, I had a hard time concentrating again until he moved it again :P

[elzizoumexicano]

I have always liked to play chess but gotta admit i suck at it, so gonna watch lots of videos

[mrmockle]

@elzizoumexicano just keep playing... i just started playing online and I lose two game for everyone one win. I think watching will help to an extent but nothing replaces practice. There are lots of websites you can play on.

@lubime10

a Jewish chess genius would be Mikhail Tal. But I actually commented because you should be nice to other people, be a bigger person than he is. Besides, that's not how you spell genius, genious. Let's stay friendly and everyone's happy.

[Chewy427]

this looks like sicilian

[lubime10]

Thank you !!!

[ChristiaanL14]

That is a cool board

[rocksta98]

@yiaasa, haha lol

[vkvkvk1219]

This guy is very relaxing

[YZB25]

[0mriphone0]

A black chess player? What's the next thing? A jewish logger?

(I'm not a racist, I'm a comedian)

[can0mark]

@0mriphone0

Not a very funny one though.

[gmv0570]

this neat video explains a lot of things i've seen chess titans use agains me :-)

[technoholic562]

For this game, someone needs to teach you the rope lines.. Unless you are a genius.

[Jonchess]

This guy takes forever to get to the point

[30inventionman]

is cheese for nerds idk

[petercourt]

Thanks!

[bassieeee7]

This was mostly a lesson about the sicilian dragon opening, it was a good example but not general middle game tips..

[Darpinion]

I've been playing Chess casually for two years and I really want to learn from someone who is rated a bit higher than me. I'm around 11-1200 ELO currently, and I want someone to help me out - Anyone have any suggestions?

[allchangesintime]

Best teacher of chess I've seen on YouTube for me. A beginner.

[estagonandfire]

good lesson, thank you

[Xombigod]

Always bet on black!

[guitarmanbadass]

black king? are u racist?

[therigidrook]

Thank you for a well prepared lesson.

I appreciate it.

[brisngr01]

hey 'gskowal' and 'ryankhan11' you suck man ,pointing out stupid things.that was good video

[arunpolekar]

Very good

[ryankhan11]

Notice how he made 'black' win against 'white'. Racist.

[gskowal]

@ryankhan11 , more like black against the red.. lol

[Jewtube0101011]

This video is teaching the shittiest of players how to be less shitty. I will crush any and all of you on FICS.

[MrSweetPotato]

Really well put together.

Much appreciated

[nawafsharingan]

Thanks Teacher ^_^



[MayContainLanguage]

Was about to suggest knight to b5 for white, but obviously it is then captured by the bishop. Great video!

Also, wow... I'm rather horrified by how many feel the need to comment on the coach's skin color.

[bigglego]

@MayContainLanguage A lot of racist people on youtube :(

[loikeitreturns]

coolest teacher ever

[camzz28iluvpurple]

are black guys are the best chess players now??

[oversight100]

Insteresting play by black winning the white queen and the game. Great job by black.

[MrEnzo102]

your the coolest chess teacher in the world



[akshel]

Great video :)

[Lakers4J]

A black guy is teaching me how to play chess is this opposite day? :D

Just kidding I'm not Racist!

[DesiRockMetal]

@Lakers4J Who are you kidding? You ARE a racist.

[Lakers4J]

@DesiRockMetal screw you!

[ajcsr1234]

@Lakers4J well you kinda are a racist...

[tivrfoa]

very nice video sir! thank you!

[TheKingtut777]

good job

[quiggles500]

joining my schools chess club next week

[hamadhsn1]

I love this video and the teacher is great! thanks

[MorganGamerPoet]

I'd take his class.

[RotationFSX]

Great teacher

[adhdboy699]

@NewFriendRequest92 You can put your knights on the side sometimes rarely. Anand and topalov had there rooks on the rims for two games

[Saverosso]

this is the most basic kind of capturing a tower or a queen

[shantrues]

Very well taught and informative

[tommy9882]

I must say he taught very well

[Sconz32]

@tommy9882 Even tho he's black right? 

[tommy9882]

@Sconz32 black guys are good (and tough)

[HASHiM108]

Very Impressive! :) i like it

[tatomuck18]

what if one or both of the players couldnt castle? When would the middle game begin? Would it just stay in the opening stage as long as no one castled?

[ruddiga50]

Amazing teacher! :D

[Chesu360]

neat 

[9906197439]

Good man! That was a nice tip.

[9906197439]

How is it possible that the king at c1 is castled?

Where are the knights and bishop in between the rook and king while no pawn at a2, b2 and c2 are moved?

[bierbuik]

@9906197439 I'm sorry but these are pretty stupid questions. Learn the rules of chess properly (castling and particular) and look at the Sicilian Dragno variation with white's counter to understand this position. The teacher said this in the video by the way.

[Titanes88]

Chess teacher??? US are awesome

[renumeratedfrog]

Very lucid presentation. I'd like to see more of this guy's videos.

[MondoBeno]

Can a Queen capture a Rook?

[Franziik]

hmm nice vid ;)

[Stephenmtats]

wow, this is awesome

[whatelse041]

I love this man

[alonekhoiz]

that was wonderful!

[olismartBHS]

that opening is immpossible, how can the left bishop of the whites have moved, if the pawn was blocking it? the 3 pawns in a line in the left hand corner would have blocked the bishops move?

[1234567RIC]

@olismartBHS it doesn't matter he just wants to show us how to conter attack

[ihaveaverybadcold]

@olismartBHS the bishop started on f1 then to c4 to b3

[olismartBHS]

@ihaveaverybadcold Not quite, I see now though, the bishop at E3 was in C1, pawns moved and then queen moved in the way. Oh well :), still taught me some good counters.

[ihaveaverybadcold]

@olismartBHS oh ok....i thought you were talking about the left bishop

[michaeljimpogi23]

you're a good teacher:)

[itram63]

WELL PRESENTED

[bornkool]

Great video now I can get back into the game and stop mud holes again LMAO, Thanks.

a struggle to get past 1100 wish i was better

[dandiaz19934]

Thank You. This is one of the few really good chess tips videos on here! (:

[xoaliciaxoangel]

chess is not for nerds.

[Xzazazazia]

@xoaliciaxoangel Yes it is, just not exclusively.

[gokabo7]

@xoaliciaxoangel 50 nerds agree

[kakaman05]

@xoaliciaxoangel Who say chess is for nerds >:

[Maxcloudy]

@xoaliciaxoangel chess is not for sarcastic people either

[anforient]

This was one of the best video, very well explained.

[Dvich]

This video just showed me how much I suck in this great game.

[Chesu360]

@Dvich LOL nice

[damnedhammer773]

@Dvich ikr... i always though i was an ok player till i saw some pros playing, so i started to research and holy christ i am worse than a beginner. but i suppose i can always practice.

[lsefia]

Great video. Love watching his lessons. They are straight to the point, with reasons behind moves.

[DTG6955]

wow! Fritz lol i know thats guy i see him every thursday for chess and he teaches the 1600+ group woohh i feel special! =p

[libyantiger100]

in chess white is always have an advantage and as a chess insturctor you have a disadvantage because you are black

[PekkaSaauri]

black is in no disadvantage in chess. One guy tried to prove that white has advantage all his career, but ultimately couldn't. And I got your joke as well :D

[pillsburydoughboy47]

I stink at chess, however this guy's right; you lose the Queen its pretty much over.

[maorionly]

this guys the man hes like a black nerd

[dashwood123]

Great video, straight to the point.

[ChiChiRodriguez1]

now thats  a comment.lol

[pahhhoul]

so then the tip/strategy for playing in the middle game is to counter attack?

are there any other principles that one should adhere during the middle game?

[jugg2000]

Yes, he's right. If you don't set yourself up to counter, you'll defend yourself into a trap. Your minor pieces will lose development to defend your king... so yes, you better learn a good counter attack in the middle game and know when to sacrifice.

[maorionly]

dont smoke weed i just had a joint and got beaten by a 5 yr old....shame

[bkaymusic]

Nice

[balancex3]

nice

[brindiferreterafideo]

this is the best ever

[Friendlyman00]

To build up the attack 13. Bg5 is played, But 13.Bh6!? is playable.

[AlchemistxBankai]

I cheat in chess.. . . .I never win

[nottybanks7]

how do u cheat when ur opponent use their brains
