[sidco1234567890]

Thx

[sidco1234567890]

9 min and 59 seconds not 10 minutes,.,..,.,

[sidco1234567890]

Only 9:59 not 10:00

[8Dollface8]

@ChessNetwork thank you sooo much! You have been more helpful than you can imagine! ;-)

[8Dollface8]

Thanks for the video, I'm trying to learn how to play but having difficulty understanding. Is there another website or tutorial that you can recommend for further help in learning to play? Your video was very helpful btw, I just need lots of help cuz I'm kinda dumb lol.

[ChessNetwork]

@8Dollface8 I have a video titled "Basic Opening Ideas" on YouTube that might help more. Do a search for that title on YouTube and it'll pop up.

[DeadlyNinja1702]

imo, the way to build strategy and become a better chess player is by playing people better than yourself. only the basics are needed, shown in this video, to play anyone, the rest is left to you

[craik62]

can i do the "enpassage" move if lets say white has one pawn at e3 and g3 and black has a pawn at g4 and then white moves his pawn to f4?

[sawdhana]

Thanks for explain the games in simplest manner. My daughter and me learned enough to start with.

[ChessNetwork]

@sawdhana Great! Thanks for the feedback. :)

[mywickedness]

One question: With the pawns at the end. What if black passes up the opertunity to capture the white pawn in that move G4 to F3, and decides to move a different piece instead, lets say A6. Can the white pawn that would have been taken, take the black pawn on whites move by moving from F4 to G5?

[msjackie72]

Thanks, that was informative. Do you have another video on the strategies? Or rules on who can capture which rank b/c when I play against a cpu the opposing king can often capture my pieces but it seems my king can rarely do the same. I'm a total beginner as I'm sure you can tell. Ty!

[johnnylawrence123456]

great video! thanks a lot!

[initialZEN]

Your live stream brought me here lol.

[godfather6808]

This is connfusing LOL 0__o

[3llaya]

thanks

^_^

[avallonmist]

I have a question: [@ 4:15] you say that the King can only move 1 [one] square at a time; but, then [@ 5:18] you show the King moving 2 [two] places. ??????

Other than that, this is a fantastic video and I [as a BRAND-NEWBIE] understood every bit of it sans the aforementioned question. Thank you for this great vid. I really appreciate it.

b/b)O(

[ChessNetwork]

@avallonmist Correct. That is an exception called castling where the king will actually move 2 squares.

[avallonmist]

@ChessNetwork Thank you for replying so quickly. b/b)O(

[loughman4life]

[MrRage34]

MAKE MORE SENSE PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE*

[SteamEqualsFAIL]

Great video.I have a VERY short attention span so I'll have to watch it several time lol.Thanks man.

[OneShotPwn]

can you move king twice or once becaue i saw u move it twicce sideways

[eyezthatkill13]

Im trying to learn how to play so I can beat my boyfriends ass. This was a big help, thanks. =)

[bijouxmusic]

can pawns move sideways? thank you.

[ChessNetwork]

@bijouxmusic  no

[edwinspindrift]

I've been fascinated with chess since my grandfather (an FBI agent who understood all sorts of strategy so well, and was great at games) tried to teach me as a young girl. I never learned to play while he was alive, but I figure I should practice just in case I run into him again some day . Your videos are extremely helpful! You're able to explain the basics so clearly...thanks!

[frugooscapecodemask]

thanks this video helped i knew that the queen moved in all directions i was just checking

[patricia67252]

Hi, I want to teach my 7-yr. old great grandson how to play chess. I do not know how to play chess, but also want to learn. Is there a particular type of chess game you could recommend? Is this game too ambitious for a 7-yr. old? He's very smart, loves to play scrabble, monopoly and really wants to learn chess. Should I buy a book, explaining the basics? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Pat

[ChessNetwork]

@patricia67252 No particular type...just chess. I know of those who started playing @ 4 years old. Basics is a good start. I have a video: "Basic Opening Ideas".

[avallonmist]

@patricia67252 If you haven't already purchased a Chess set; then I saw this one on Amazon.com & it's called

Stress-Free Chess. It looks like it's made with children/beginners in mind; I'm thinking of getting it for my nephews.

b/b)O(

[marchavez3]

i knew *nothing* about chess b4 this vid, im still a lil confused but i understand most of it i think, now if only i could actualy win a chess game then id be happy ,meanwhile im gonna keep looking up youtube videos ^.^ and awesome vid luved it,(but your voice kinda put to sleep) just sayin :) kay thanks 4 postin the vid!

[FiberMania]

Nice video!

[MrGforGreen]

very good explanation

[TimBillyRichie]

This video would be a bit confusing for true beginners, I think. You should start by demonstrating the basic concept of the game, for example that players take turns moving one piece at a time; you capture a piece by moving onto it; the goal is to capture the opposing king (technically you only checkmate it, blah blah, but that's information for later).

[xXTheFallen1Xx]

Why did people that already know how to play chess look up videos on how to play chess? lmao

[Za7Dom9]

Next time don't title a video that has nothing to do with playing chess, in the case. Your video should have been titled 'learn the basic attack-position of figures'

[PlayerPandu]

This should be called "Learn how to move the chess pieces in under ten minutes" instead. This video, while being very helpful to beginners, does not teach what the object of the game is, nor how to go about achieving that objective. It also does not teach all of the rules. This video DOES contain valuable information, but it would be best for a beginner watching this video to know outright that when he is done watching, he still has a bit left to learn before he knows how to play the game.

[socialistcontainment]

Thanks, your video really helped. After 3 stalemates in a row I just got my first checkmate playing my Mac on the easiest setting. Deep Blue here I come.

[83thrillermj]

I didn't know that of that the pawns. That of two squares

[nmscats]

chess network ? really?

[Eowdo]

Thank You this has been helpful in more than one way. You see I've always wanted to play chess and i do apply the names of pieces to my more dependable friends, but also i use this method of thought that comes with playing the game in the card game YUGIOH! i don't know if you're familiar with it, but once more thank you.

[himyflyguy]

lol i see that you really meant les than 10 minutes. 9min.59 seconds

[classicmusic05]

what program do you use to do this videos?

[bbdraw]

how many steps can each one move?

[nblfyb]

Thanks for the reinforcement. I'm going through all your vids. Big up!!

[ultrawierddude]

wow when u explain it chess is pretty easy thanks

[jeskar0407]

cool didn't know about the last one

[WeAreBorg359]

Nice video, but be sure to include some videos on what checkmate looks like and it if you haven't already. :) Also, be sure to go over draws and stalemates.

[17255634]

How do I go to horse?L could not understand.

[BOGZASV8MA]

do you know how to play chess online for money

[ChessNetwork]

Nope.

[shafi600]

@BOGZASV8MA

[baglady75]

I do not understand?=[

[ChessNetwork]

Can you be more specific with what you don't understand?

[exigentsky]

This is good, but shouldn't you go over basic checkmates and stalemates? Maybe a total newbie wouldn't know even the goal of the game or what it means. Anyway, I think if it's kept at 10 minutes, that's the perfect time.

[ChessNetwork]

Thanks for the compliment and feedback.

[mat19892000]

you make great videos

[ChessNetwork]

Thanks for the compliment! =)

[Yaymudkip]

Like i've asked before: Is there any way to challange yer? :O! i would so want to play with yer >:

[ChessNetwork]

I'll only play on the ICC.

[MazdaRX7ASpec]

what does the value of the pieces have to do with the game?

[ChessNetwork]

It's an important factor in guiding one's play. For example, exchanging one's rook(5pts) for your opponents' bishop(3pts), is generally considered a poor trade.

[yomen30000]

La prise du pion en passant vient du français.

[ChessNetwork]

English please. =)

[DEVINEEL]

thanks man i did not know abt the en person move or w.e its called. Thanks maybe you can get into more detail on startegic defense and offense thanks

[ChessNetwork]

Great! Glad to help with the en passant move.

[hydrosbon]

oh, i didn't even know about the en'peson rule, or that you can't castle out of a check... but i dislike them Oo especially the castle rule - imo it takes away some of the strategic depth of chess.

anyway, nice vid.

[ChessNetwork]

Glad to hear you've learned something additional. =)

[darkbowkotwnz]

this is gona so help me on funorb!!!! (the new runescape website that jagex has posted. you can play chess for free on the website using your runescape account, and if you dont believe me, check the archives on runescape (dot) c 0 m

[jrcruz74]

Thanks for the simple and well-put intructions!

[ChessNetwork]

You're welcome. Thanks for the compliment! =)

[silent969]

thanks dude!! when i played chess on pc it would do the en'peson move & i used 2 think my pc had gone crazy!!

[ChessNetwork]

Ah...I see. Well now you know that it was sane all along. =)

[spanishCkent702]

cool vid. i play chess occasionally in school and i know enough about it, that i can win a couple matches, but i didn't know that you can do a queen side castling, nor did i know that en'peson move. Thanks.

[ChessNetwork]

Great! Glad you could benefit. That special pawn capture, which is not all to audible in the video, is spelled en passant.

Thanks for the feedback !!

[ChessNetwork]

You're welcome! =)

[narutofreakdbz1]

watzup dude i love your video i learned alot, but i have a favor to ask there is a mini competition at my school, and my friend who happens to be the chess club president asked me to compete, but i never played or no anything about untill i watched your video, do u have any suggestions fo me how i train, is there a link maybe u can send that i can download chess for my pc? many thnx i love your video ^_^

[ChessNetwork]

Thanks! There are many free sites you could play on. Just do a google search for "free chess play"(or something similar). As far as training...since you are just learning the game now...just play!

[deltadude61]

Thank you for the well taught lesson and demonstration.

[wrathchild89]

i love your videos dude. It's so usefull for players on a lower level like you are and what I do like most is that you're replying to anyone which makes you appear like a very nice person in my eyes :) So, Thanks for helping us or at least me developing my chess-play

[ChessNetwork]

Thank you very much! I appreciate that comment a great deal! Thanks for taking some time to give feedback. =)

[0casteloencantado0]

I started to play chest two or three weeks ago and I simply love it!

[ChessNetwork]

Great! Welcome aboard! =)

[Treyjay19]

Well, I would have liked to see more stratagies. BUT considering I havn't played chess until now, it was Very VERY helpful. Thanks :D

[ChessNetwork]

Great! Glad you could benefit! =)

[jhgfh5815]

it sounds kind of like a battlefield...sorry, i just

noticed

[ChessNetwork]

No need to apologize! =)

[0casteloencantado0]

I think that's the idea.

[jhgfh5815]

lol

[matrixneoboss]

i think that you should do it with a real board

[ChessNetwork]

I appreciate the idea. =)

[njac1946]

thanks for this,,,i have not played chess but your explantion is ver helpful and will start playing again

[ChessNetwork]

Great! That was the intent of the video! =)

[jordanhyatt]

i must be retarted.. i still dont understand.

[ChessNetwork]

What specifically don't you understand?

[xspaansx]

Thanks for posting these video's. I learned to play chess when i was about 8 but i forgot a lot, so i will try to get started again with your help!

[ChessNetwork]

Great...glad to have helped! =)

[Dracanic]

thank you, another Video i would like to see is a collection of Beginning move strategies. or a guide to making a solid foundation for a good offense/defense and your Reasons behind those strategies.

[ChessNetwork]

Thanks for the comment and suggestion. I'll see what I can do. =)

[ChessNetwork]

Thanks...those are other great points to have added. I guess I had to be selective in what I covered due to youtube's time limit of 10 minutes per video. Appreciate the comment! =)

[simsfancds]

Thanks alot! I've been wanting to learn how to play this,looks fun!

[ChessNetwork]

You're welcome. Glad to help! =)

[stubu070395]

[ChessNetwork]

If I could give 2 thumbs up I would for that comment. Hysterical!

[COOLKIDDZ]

[frederickcarl]

[ChessNetwork]

Thank you!

[CaptainBlack1]

Very Informative, although I know how to play, I found this very good for any person who doesn't, and would like to play...Basiclaly, just keep up the good work

[ChessNetwork]

Thanks Bob. I tried to break it down as best I could.

[Minieh11]

Hello ChessNetwork

I've seen what i belive is all your movies on youtube, and i was just wondering if you could make a video about some strategies, like opening up, and stuff like that.

I think your a really really good chess please :-).

[ChessNetwork]

Thank you! I'll consider doing just that! :)

[Jimystic]

I never knew how to play chess and now I do so thanks for this!

You should've also mentioned that the knight can also make an L move by starting with 1 step and then making 2 steps. I've seen another dude's video so that's how I found out.

One more thing, when castling, do you always have to move the king 2 steps to the rook that's closest to you or, in this video, can you also move 2 steps to the left and have the left rook make 3 steps to the right so that it's besides the king?

[ChessNetwork]

You're welcome! White and black have the choice of castling either kingside or queenside. In both cases the king moves exactly 2 squares towards the rook and the rook comes on the other side of the king, right next to the king. You'll notice that when one castles kingside, the rook moves 2 squares and queenside castling has the rook moving 3 squares.

[ChessNetwork]

You're welcome. Glad to help!

[saltystuff]

Thanks, now I now how the pieces move :V

[norb1937]

Why dont you explain check as a king being in the striking path of an enemy piece. And checkmate as being in the striking path of an enemy piece and cannot move without going into the striking path of another enemy piece? And simply say that pawns capture on squares that are the same color as they occupy.

[ChessNetwork]

I like your suggestion of using the phrase striking path. That may very well have been a better way to explaining such...thanks!  As for saying that 'pawns capture on squares that are the same color as they occupy', I think my saying of 'capturing one square diagonally' was of a simplistic sort already. Your suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks again!!

[yocomzian]

Very good intro video .

[ChessNetwork]

Thank you!

[mcgrrl]

well done jerry :)

[ChessNetwork]

Thanks...I appreciate that comment very much!
