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

  • yep

  • is this considered an open or closed game?

  • @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 :)

  • Buenas Videos Muchacho!

  • Awesome channel bro'! Thanks for posting!

    

  • 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?

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

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

  • 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??

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

  • nice work kevin :)
