Great presentation! You did a wonderful job in explaining things, and you made it look to easy. Great job, wonderful points and easy to remember. Thank you.
Watching this at early morning 4:00 A.M from India. This video is so engrossing. One Particular thing i liked so much is the Logic you explain behind the moves[ Ex: During early Queen attack Knight move is good because Knight is protected by Queen,if Queen Takes knight our queen can take their Queen]. This kind of minor details helps me to understand clearly. One Request: I am a Beginner, I usually start Good , but loose My Plot in Middle games and End up Resigning most of the times. Do you have any Videos to learn and Improve Middle games /How to have a strategy or approach for middle Games ? Any Help Would be Appreciated 👍🏻
I recently started playing chess, and in last 6-7 months I've watched soooo many videos on it, and none were as good as this for a beginner. (Like, I knew most of what was shown in this video, but only because bits and pieces were in those many videos I watched.) Thank you for this video. This is gonna be saved and I will be rewatching it till it's deeply routed in me.
I know its the normal advice to counter e4 with e5 and d4 with d5 but as I've been getting my kids ready for their first tournament, I feel like its a bad way to go. There are just too many tricky openings for that position. The King's Gambit, the Scotch Gambit, etc. The advice I'm giving them is to never counter their opponent's opening with a mirror move. Just with that advice, my 7-year-old daughter has already figured out her own version of the Scandinavian Defense and she's had pretty good luck with it.
Thanks so much for these examples and explanations. I started getting interested in chess recently, and whilst thinking I knew a lot of these tips already, it's fantastic to see the actual importance of certain moves and decisions. You know how to give the right explanation and I'm eager to implement some of these new things into my games. Currently I'm 830 Elo. It's... I often know what to do, but my biggest problem is sometimes forgetting or overlooking what pieces protect other pieces. So right after I make a move, I realise I blundered something due to forgetfulness haha. 800 Elo is enough to know however, that the Rook was defended by a Bishop, and not a Pawn at the end ;) Thanks alot! Cheers!
Freestyle Fischer 960 chess has taught me recently how bad things can get if you go for center control right away. Sometimes you have to draw the head before the circle.
I actually learned quite a bit here. See I've been trying out specific openings, but chess is situational. It's good to learn these openings but, I'd say, the most important thing is just to play. Thank you for helping me understand that, seriously, thank you.
Some of my most crushing tactical victories has come for 1.D4 for so i think that's it's important to also clarify that you get all types of different positions in 1. d4, not just a closed KID
Dear Alessia, I have been learning and following your channel for a very long time and I have improved a lot with chess. Reason I want to send this message is that I have recently been defeated by an apponenent stronger than me. I want to share the lines. I am playing White E4 D5 (Whish you really hate :) EXD5 F6 - I took the pawn Night c3 i defended with night c3 e6 played by black i took the pawn Dxe6 White played bishop XE6 and took my pawn I played night F3 Black played Bishop D6 I played pawn to D4 Black pawn H6 I played pawn H3 Black castled I played bishop to D3 black - night to c6 I castled --- TRAPED here Alessia :( Black Queen to D7 I played night E3 white bishop took my pawn xh3 then I took the night gxh3 Queen took my pawn xh3 I moved mu rook to E1 (trying to give some space to king) black Night to G4 I played king to E2 White checked me with black bishop H2 + I took with my night Xh2 Queen took the night Xh2 with a check I moved my king to F1 then White queen H1 MATEED :(
Yes. She is explaining the improvement of the knight and not tactics in that particular position, so, in a game that knight improvement could wait that capture.
If you move both pawns to center in the beginning the opponent can check you and gain great momentum and tempo on you in the beginning. You would have to know some amazing tactics to get out of it or block. Am I right?
Most of the time those queen/bishop checks can be blocked with a minor piece which actually helps your development. They're only dangerous if your opponent has a concrete tactic, like a double attack with a queen check on the open diagonal. Moving the f-pawn is much more dangerous cause no minor piece can block.
@@spookyfox3716 That's exactly what I'm talking about, the great tactic of that starts with the Check because you moved both pawns to center in first 2 moves. You will get destroyed in online Chess doing this unless you're a GM.
The increasing popularity of chess is amazing. However one must ask why there is only two out of the top 50 chess players being women? Maybe the numbers are incorrect however in this time of opportunity and equality of access you would think this statistic would change or are the vast resources of women still not concerning themselves with such challenges.
Could you please 1) teach us end of the game with rook's tactics 2) how could win with out queen against to player 3) do daily makes videos of explain magnus , Kasparov,karpov, Michael,paulmorphy,anandh, please explain mam i beg your leg mam and i bow my head in front of you because you are a well known person how to teach according to our knowledge thank you so much finally i love your game but not you finally you are beautiful angel
Did you know what is the funniest part of the Chess game?! When the english translators were naming the chess pieces from persian, they put the word "VAZIR" which means "Counselor" or "Iranian first minister" to the: queen! The problem is: when a soldier reaches the last row of the chessboard, he can become a Counselor (VAZIR). Even if all eight soldiers reach the final line, they can become Counselor (VAZIR). What happened now: They have changed the king's advisor to the king's wife, and if any soldier reaches the last row of the chess, the king gets a new wife 🤣🤣🤣 So embarrassing! Khosrow

40:37 the rook is protected by the pawn, (bishop)
Some of my most crushing tactical victories has come for 1.D4 for so i think that's it's important to also clarify that you get all types of different positions in 1. d4, not just a closed KID
yeah the london has lots of interesting tactics available
Mam before black castling Bb6 check black should have lost the Q
26:37 I recon you're exemplify using the knight, but surely Bishop takes white knight on c3 would be stronger than (black) knight to c4?
Talented teacher, glad to have found your channel. With love from Burkina Faso
Hi Alessia nice explanation.. useful for my kids to improve the game. Now he is defeating me in chess 😊
This is the best chess instruction video I've seen on CZcams

At time 26:33 After QC5+ instead of Nb6, Bxc3 is the best move i think..
