Buenas Videos Muchacho!

[kamilean]

Awesome channel bro'! Thanks for posting!

[LeJo82]

outstanding ! I love your videos. Thanks.

I'm not the best chess player, so I don't know, but at 5:00, wouldn't it be slightly better to *be* captured, and instead play pawn to H3? That way, black's queen stays pretty holed up behind the pawns.

Further, after black captures your bishop, you could reclaim it with knight E2, preparing to get it into some more active positions?

[LukeNosredan]

@kah13176 That's what I was thinking. I don't think he was trying to show us white's best move though, just more of the concept that it can be advantageous to trade off a bad bishop for a good one :)

[TheEverythingShow22]

my dad said if i beat him in 3 games of chess he will buy me a car so i need to get good. any advice??

[moviecritic6]

@TheEverythingShow22 How good is your dad exactly? It would help to know, and then I can tell you what to do.

[TheEverythingShow22]

@moviecritic6 like realll good i have only seen him lose like 4 times and he plays all the time and im just a rookie.

[RoninVeritatem]

This was a great video for someone like me, thanks!

[TheFahad112]

[jkea74]

[michaelnak]

[worldpeace365]

[bigserge1990]

[haggag69]

Harold Bishop - good bishop or bad bishop?

[zechariah14v7]

thanks, this was a helpful strategy aspect.

in that game, taking out white's good bishop seems like the type of move that could potentially turn the whole game around in black's favor. also seeing how white is basically left with a boxed-in bad bishop.

assuming that white knew that the bishop trade was not equal material, what if white decided to draw out a pawn on e4 or d5 in order to affect center control?

[bosatsu76]

Now my chess abilities? Total shit. I can't seem to think two moves ahead. And can't remember one opening from the next. Let alone coordinated attacks at the same time recognizing what my opponent is trying to set up...

 I can play a 9 year old and lose. Sad... But I will listen to these videos and see if I can figure something out.. If you can teach a dummy like me... You are good.

[bosatsu76]

I had a friend. Black... A total flake. he worked for me and I had to fire him, he was that flaky But his chess abilities were unbelievable. We were at a tavern and he was playing and winning. Some fella with a Russian accent, all cocky and mouthy said "$50, I beat you". My friend asked me to front him the money, but I was too chicken... My friend kicked that man's ass from move one. Without a hesitation and no longer than 15 seconds per move to think, he crushed that guy. No contest... Wow.

[Nanotenium]

wait but are bad bishops defensive and good bishops offensive?

[mielord21]

yes! This can control the fate of the game... so we should listen and understand this.

[DACEMAN305]

Dude keep it up.

[birdpoo01]

This us really good.

[HectorVictorious1]

Thank you! These are great. Very clear and informative. Keep 'em coming!

[phokuzbt]

Thanks for the videos Kevin. I'm really enjoying them. I just found your channel today and I subscribed. Keep 'em coming. This is great stuff.

[ForYeensSake]

Like with everything else chess is something i had to learn by myself and you are making it alot easier =) thanks

[RGYOGI]

very good.... just subscribed.

[Wittner407]

I'm a starting chess player. Have known how all the pieces moved for a long time but just recently started to look into openings and strategies. You videos are great - covering all the bases, the important concepts and the quality of narration is excellent. Thanks a million!

[TAHDAM99]

That was a very good tutorial. In chess, my style is trying to predict my opponents move and think accordingly. I can't come up with my own strategy. What should I do ?? please help me. Thanks

[pmtown]

Thank you,I enjoyed your tutorial.

[leah97462]

I liked how you explained trading good bishop for bad bishop. I'm still really new to chess strategies so I found that extremely helpful especially because one of my biggest weaknesses is I almost always block myself in :P

[ThePerrynator]

good concept, but no one ever ends up with their pawns lined up like that against the enemy

[kevinwhall760]

thanks dude. i like all the videos you post and i consider them very helpful.

[SpongeInPyjama]

please continue this series!

i gotta learn more about the logic surrounding chess.

[lsefia]

You are doing a great job with these videos. These are subtle secrets that are not taught ab initio. Nice work. Please keep these videos coming. My daughters (6 and 5) love playing chess and I try to look for materials for them. Right now they are very good at opening games (developing) but get stuck on middle games. Any beginner recommendations from your videos?

[imermiguel]

is that jeremy camp's "there will be a day"?

[thechesswebsite]

yep

[TheJeremyCupp]

Great job man... I think there is a lot of people out there that know a lot about this stuff and just completely kick my butt! This attempts to even out the playing field making for better, more competitive exciting games for all.

[billbong88]

This is cool. Still a little confusing but atleast now i can try and learn it from playing, because atleast i know of its existence

[Karjalol]

nice stuff

Gj dude

[disturbediskool14]

does any one know where to download a chess game program i need to practice and no one is smart enough to play chess with me lol

[LilEatonRed]

Great video I'm a amateur long time player who recently is going into competitive chess and this has been amazingly helpfull I will subscribe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrDamark]

Pretty helpfull tip, it help me win many games

[jmetz8402]

is this considered an open or closed game?

[thechesswebsite]

the very first example was open but then the other two were more closed. I made a vid on open vs closed games that you might want to check out.

[poppers3]

[thechesswebsite]

[benawabe896896]

just wanted to drop a line and say that the videos have a certain quality to them that really allows me to understand. I really appreciate it.

[thechesswebsite]

thanks for the kind words

[L3sty]

Love your vids. Do you think that you could play an actual game and record it? Explaining why you make your moves as you play? That would be very interesting and helpful to me. Thanks for making these awesome videos.

[thechesswebsite]

yeah you got it. I did two games, but I definitely in the future will do some more gameplay and give thoughts as I play.

[arseson]

These vids are excellent! Thanks for taking the time to make them.

[thechesswebsite]

[Hexxor1985]

That was a great video!

I really have to work on those little details to make my chess game better.

O and just one thing, I don't know if it is just me, but I like the video's better were you use a coloured board, like the blue or the brown one. But I don't know if anyone else feels the same way.

[taipan342]

this is great very easy for beginners and everyone else for that matter to understand...thanks for posting

[nedfrog]
