  • How to Play Chess. Who doesn't want to be a cool intellectual and play chess like a pro? This game definitely stands out from everything else and has tons of admirers all over the world. So do you want to join in and learn the basic rules and even some winning tricks and techniques? In that case, this video guide is what you’ve been looking for.
    To win and become a true chess champion, your task is to checkmate your opponent's king. It may sound like a piece of cake, but it's way more complicated than you might think! Checkmate basically means putting the king in a position where he’ll be captured because he can't move or be protected by any other piece. The more of your opponent's pieces you capture, the easier it'll be to checkmate. Just don't focus all your energy on this. Your own king should be properly protected at all times so that your opponent can’t get to him.

    SUMMARY
    -A chessboard consists of 64 square spaces. There are files, which are the columns going up and down, pointing at you and your opponent and marked from A to H. And then there are ranks: the horizontal rows from 1 to 8.
    -The rook is placed at the corners of the board, which are A1 and H1 for one player and A8 and H8 for the other. The best thing about rooks is that they can move any number of vacant squares both vertically and horizontally.
    -Knights are placed on squares B1 and G1 for one player and B8 and G8 for the other. Unlike rooks, knights can jump over other pieces, and they're actually the only piece that can do that.
    -Bishops can move over any number of free squares in a diagonal direction. Just like rooks, they can capture an opponent's piece standing in their way by stopping on that piece's square.
    -You only get one queen (D1 for a white queen or D8 for a black queen), and she’s the most powerful piece on the board - basically the rook and bishop combined. The king's place is one of the 2 last empty squares: E1 and E8. The king isn't as powerful as the queen and can only move one square at a time horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
    -Pawns take the rows from A2 to H2 for one player and from A7 to H7 for the other. Pawns move one square forward with one exception: the first time they move, pawns can go forward either one or 2 squares.
    -Checkmate basically means putting the king in a position where he’ll be captured because he can't move or be protected by any other piece. The more of your opponent's pieces you capture, the easier it'll be to checkmate.
    -Pawns, for example, are stronger when they're together in chains to protect one another. Knights can control up to 8 squares, but when you put them near the edge this number gets cut in half. Bishops are at their strongest when they're on or near long diagonals - they can control more squares. Rooks have the most power in open files.
    -If you want to make your own rules on the chessboard and be the main force of the game, try to control the center of the board. Your opening can help you do that: a D or E pawn is a great way to start and open the center of the board.
    -“En passant” is a special capture move that a pawn can make. If you're playing with white, your pawn must be on the fifth rank for it, and it's the fourth rank for black.
    -If a pawn reaches the far side of the board, which is the eighth rank for white and the first rank for black, it must immediately be promoted to any other piece (except for the king).
    -To make the “castling” move, move your king 2 squares toward any rook, and then hop that rook over the king so it lands on the square next to the king.

    @VroodenTheGreat Před 4 lety +286

    I have played chess a long time... just started teaching people...
    Here are a couple of good pointers...
    1) Always trade up... if you can't trade for a higher value piece, don't trade.
    2) Try to threaten a piece on every move, if it's safe... this prevents them from doing whatever they want and allows you to control the next move.
    3) Watch what they do. If they move a piece, figure out WHY before you decide your next move. Most strategies require 3 to 5 moves to pull off.
    There are more but I'm tired of thinking about chess today.

    I think its a lot more simple once you know the names of the pieces and where they go and where on the board they can move. the difficult thing is once you start playing and the strategies to win. you have to think about what your opponent might do and even think like 2 moves or more ahead.

      Join the Freemasons, it has everything, witchcraft, and Chess on a global scale!! The 'Conspiracy theorists' love to refer back to the Illuminati card game which I bought a year ago. That is the only card game I'll play that actually uses world secret societies and scumbag political propaganda moves just to conquer the sheeple of society. The theory is that the world elites and organizations are using media, big pharma, etc to control the population in order to rule the world. It's like a 21st-century version of chess but can be played, 2-6 players. Rumor has it the creator of the game is a Freemason.

    I like the approach to teach the game via animation. 😎
    A few useful points to note:
    1. Regarding the board orientation...there's a catchy phrase for the corner square, "light on right".
    2. Announcing "check" when you give check to your opponent is not a rule.
    3. There is one additional rule regarding castling...You cannot "castle through check" (i.e. if black guards f1, white cannot castle to his/her right [kingside])

      Well if you learn what kinds of moves each piece can make, that is the beginning stage but then the next step is learning the strategy and that's where the challenge is. it's like me I only know roughly what moves each piece can make, well that is except for the castling move which I know roughly but not quite sure of.

    I've played chess for years and this tutorial is boggling my mind. I don't think newer players need to know about the names of ranks and files. That alone is a bit misleading and unnecessarily complicates an already grossly complicated game. Naming the files and ranks is only necessary for theory or introducing rated play which beginners won't be doing for many months if not many years. Also, in one of your slides you suggest guarding the king at all times, which is true, however...you have the king guarded by impossible or illegal pawn positions on the back-rank, which again, is very misleading...since pawns can only move forward, not backwards.
    The later bit about "winning strategies" is snake oil to me. There isn't such a thing without peeling back literally thousands of layers worth of opening, mid-game and end-game theory if we're to assume both players are at appreciable levels of experience. What you definitely don't want to do to a beginner playing chess is try to overly simplify this game, because that's not how it's played. Moves that can theoretically checkmate in 3-4 only work on the people watching this very tutorial.
    Chess is one of those games where you can only teach the basics unfortunately. You can teach how pieces move, you can teach how to set the board, you can teach illegal and legal moves but that's essentially it. You can't teach tactics to beginners, you can't teach advanced positioning to beginners, you can't teach openings or very subtle elements that define the very core of this board game. That has to come with experience, preference and with a hands-on-approach.

    If there's a board game that is most rage inducing, it's definitely chess (believe me, I know from experience). But, on the other hand, it's also the most satisfying. The feeling you get when perfectly outplaying and out smarting your opponent is incredible, no other board game can achieve it.
