Chess videos by jrobichess.

To my knowledge I am the first person to begin playing chess and creating YouTube videos at the same time. My overall chess journey (things I have learned, rating improvements, etc) is all tracked here on these videos, both from what I posted and from comments and feedback from my subscribers.

I started chess in July 2007, and I have created a video history of my progress through YouTube! Follow along with my ups and downs as I work towards getting better at the great game of chess.

Technology has greatly helped my chess improve, and I hope you find that it can benefit you in the same way. I not only appreciate but invite your text and video comments to all my videos!

Some of my random chess thoughts:

"Chess is an oasis for the mind."

"In Life, everyone starts out as a pawn. It's the decisions we make along the way that shape our endgame."

Chess is a lifelong journey - thanks for sharing it with me!

Currently I enjoy the Free Internet Chess Server for live online chess and for correspondence chess I have not experienced better than http://www.chessworld.net .


If you're on Twitter look me up. Also, I enjoy music and share what I am listening to on Blip.FM which also integrates with Twitter. I hope you have many great experiences with chess and life in general!

ITHRICEI: The sicilian defense (played by black) was later used by white in what is now called the english opening. There are other similarities like this one, but the position and concepts never are exactly the same between black and white.

Hey Jrobi, do you think that great chess players are born or are they made through practice and study.

Is it possible to play some white opening moves but as black? I mean to try and reach the same concept?

Dude... I fucking love you man. I love you! While I can analyze my own games or grandmasters on my own, I found your videos very insightful.
