  • I'm playing on Chess.com -- these aren't sponsored videos but the site seems pretty cool.
    Chess has been having a resurgence in popularity this year so I have finally acquiesced to semi-popular demand and started to play a bit. First, let's hone our skills and get a little more warmed up and then let's conquer chess dot com one board gamer at a time.

    • @crimsoncookiemonster
      @crimsoncookiemonster Před 3 lety +4

      It's the rook on the semi-open file to b8, you're going to be dropping a pawn if played correctly and will have a rook in your back rank that will be hard to defend. Moving the king up gives you the needed defender on time (castling is one move too late)
