Excellent lecture by Jennifer ma'am. I love her patience, and the opportunity she gives us to figure out solutions by ourselves. Also, that she tries out various combinations as suggested, and shows why they would not work out. Very complete lectures.
most of our beginner videos are labeled Chess for Beginners, and we also have a playlist with just beginner videos if you look through our channel. Enjoy! Check this video's description to find the link to our beginner playlist.
I've played a lot, but never "formally" nor do I know a lot of the correct terminology, nor do I understand the theory behind the moves. I appreciate you folks taking the time to post this, thanks!
Harmless expressions of masculinity dubbed sexist by sensitive imbeciles like yourself. "I'd like to mate her in one. Ay, lads?" C'mon, that is hilarious and a compliment to the beautiful Jennifer. You PC bunch don't know where to draw lines.
@@tristunalekzander5608 Mark's comment is the equivalent of rolling one's eyes at a bunch of fairly innocuous, though predictable, 'jokes'. Further down the page someone else mentioned misogynistic comments, which, as far as I can see, is probably an exaggeration. In neither case did the poster use insults, but in both cases, however, you hit back with insults. You didn't need to. You could've politely dismissed the comments on both occasions, or ignored them. Instead you reacted in a manner of someone whose buttons had been pushed. Yes, that's right. Your buttons got pushed. Someone said something you didn't like and you lashed out with insults like someone whose feelings had been hurt. Getting your buttons pushed by fairly harmless comments on yt because those comments happened to be disapproving of some jokes that you, presumably, actually quite liked? Sounds a bit snowflakey to me. Insisting that people not make certain comments and criticisms and in fact 'go away because we don't need you'? Sounds like pc thought policing to me.

@@tristunalekzander5608 'Defending the right to say a joke' is fine, and I would join you in doing so. Check out the stand up comedy of Frankie Boyle and Anthony Jeselnik to see how I feel about so called offensive jokes.

Someone expressed an opinion that some comments were sexist etc. You clearly were capable of making a polite defence of the right to make those jokes. Instead, you reacted by insulting them and, effectively, demanding that they not make such criticisms in future. It's not what's typically meant by 'pc' but in effect it's being offended by someone's comments and trying to dissuade them (in this case, through insults) from making those comments again. What some people seem to want is not 'freedom of speech' so much as 'freedom from criticism', so they can make their jokes and comments and woe betide anyone that dares criticise them for it. The person who makes the criticism may be wrong, but that's not really the point. The point is they get to say it. That's how it works, friend. You can say pretty much whatever you like, and people can ignore you, agree with you or criticise you. Pointing out the weakness in their criticism is great, but as soon as your reply is more ad hominem than anything else, you just sound offended. We obviously don't see eye to eye on this, but I appreciate your reply all the same.
If you are talking about something shown around 11:40 - then it is legal to castle the queen side, since the king won't go through check (won't go through b1). Unfortunately, she did not immediately say that castling is still allowed. This position is not likely to ever happen in a game though...
You have to watch key and Peele's airplane sketch. Jordan Peele plays the annoying aircraft steward who sounds exactly like her!!! My god this video was painful to watch
Oh! Beautiful lecture Shahade. This shows that human beings understanding of Chess is not just improving but evolving. In ancient days (Steinits days), we understood positional ideas and outline the bare-bone structure of pawn formation, open files, open diagonals and so on. Tactics were classified as creativity or secrets. Now in modern era, with the use of computers we see the computer take a very unsuspecting position, and with a few move orders it carries us back to a very specific tactical pattern or mating pattern that we knew years ago. So we get to understand that the computer is simply able to find these patterns in the most unsuspecting position. So we now begin to outline the bare bone structure of tactics. And I believe, give us some years and we will be looking at the most complicated tactical positions as just being obvious (because we see the barebone structure).
Checking the comments... I have NO problem listening to her. Intelligent, nice voice, sweet laugh, and easy on the eyes... she can be my Q any day... (there are many other chess puns to go with, but I feel no need to be vulgar today)
u have no problem listening to her. OK... but can u hear the question being asked? she seldom (if ever) repeats the audience member's question B4 answering... and it's extremely difficult to hear the question when it is asked?! sometimes i'am not sure what she is taken about cuz i dint hear the question. All Chess Club speakers tend to do this in this series (not jst Jennifer) i'am not complaining... i'am jst saying there is room for improvement.
Some people are like "A Woman - RAAAAAWR!" And the others go like "Misogynist comments, very suspicious". Nobody? People at home got it. No, they didn't.
I used to feel so sorry for the two girls on our college chess team. They were awesome players, but most of the wheezing geeks around me were too busy pathetically lusting to notice.
At 36:19, Q-b3+, if K-h8 then R-f8+, B-g8, QxB++, therefore the only defense is reply Q-f7, and after RxQ or QxQ the game is won a few moves later by white, which means sacrificing those 2 passed pawns just to get the black queen out to the 2nd row leaving her king open to mate could also be called elegant, don't you think ? I guess the black plyr could look for another choice of moves on the exchange... very interesting position to review at 32:28 which was the basis of reaching 36:19... Many alternatives
As a non-german, I found that cringe-worthy. It's especially funny because she more or less suggests people it's ok for them to not know what "swooshing zoo" or "swishing Zerg" is (NOBODY KNOWS. It's not a word).
at 36:03 in this movie, I think they may have missed queen B3 check. the only place the king can move is H8 and then we have rook F8 check mate. If the black queen interferes, there is a cycle in which black just loses the queen and everything pretty much remains the same. However, it wasnt discussed. Am I missing something?
What if at 17:10, I play queen to E4? Then what would be black's best move? Next, if I do a check with the knight at G6 and then capture queen with queen and then advance. Is that a viable strategy?
HELP ! WHAT WOULD YOU DO ? (I play at mid level beginner level) I have followed the advice - develop, control center, castle (and my rooks are connected) the computer I'm playing has only 1 piece developed, no control of center and the King is exposed - no castle. Yet - I'm stuck and can find no way to attack ! Please give your advice - I'm the black pieces and control all of 1 - 4 (no white pieces on 1-4) A2-BLACK PAWN A5-WHITE KNIGHT A6-WHITE PAWN A8-WHITE ROOK B1-BLACK KING B3-BLACK PAWN B6-WHITE PAWN C1-BLACK ROOK C2-BLACK PAWN C3-BLACK KNIGHT C7-WHITE PAWN C8-WHITE BISHOP D2-BLACK QUEEN D5-BLACK PAWN D6-WHITE PAWN D8-WHITE KING E2-BLACK BISHOP E4-BLACK PAWN E8-WHITE QUEEN F3-BLACK PAWN F4-BLACK KNIGHT G6-WHITE PAWN G8-WHITE KNIGHT H1-BLACK ROOK H2-BLACK PAWN H7-WHITE PAWN H8-WHITE ROOK
Surely at 07:06 if black takes the pawn on d4, the white knight will capture bishop will then capture knight, then possibly leaving a queen exchange... But black still comes out better with the change of combining the rooks?
36:18 is the best situation to be in because you could move your queen to B3 and the black king can't move to F8 because the rook is guarding it same as to F7 so the only good move is king to H8 then you could move your rook to F8 to check the king then the bishop will be the only piece to block for the king then you could take it with your queen then checkmate. But even if black uses his queen to block the white queen when white moved her queen to B3 it will still be an easy check mate because you are up a queen and rook.
+Messav Works Viktor Korchnoi, in his 1974 Candidates final match with Anatoly Karpov, famously asked the arbiter if castling was legal when the castling rook was under attack.[7] The arbiter answered in the affirmative, Korchnoi executed the move, and Karpov resigned shortly after.
Position at 36:06, I disagree with her, that is a very good position. Sequence is: Qb3+, Qf7 (Kh8 would lead to Rf8+), QxQ+, Kh8, Rd1, Bg8, Qf8, Kh7, Rd7, Bf7, Qf7 or Rf7, (any move), Qg7#
Yes u cant castle if there is a piece blocking king's way (c1,d1 on queen side / h1,g1 on king side) in this case Black's Rook doesnt block king's way so King can be castling (because King use to move only two steps to c1 (queen's side) and Rook on b2 only block on b1) sry for my bad English
36:17 "Not as clear" But it is totally clear that 1. Qb3+ Kh8 2. Rh8# or 1. Qb3+ Qf7 2. Qxf7+ Kh8 3. Qf8# are instantly lethal. Whether or not these lines are more efficient than the candidate Ne6, I do not know. My gut instinct was with Ne6 also, but perhaps it might be instructive to compare variations?
Bruno Martins No, wrong. only the squares of the king, the first and destination squares (C1 & D1 castling long) can not be under enemy attack. Nor can you castle out of check or check mate.
How long does it take to reach Grand Master level? I'm new to chess and this is all very complicated and hard to get my head around, and even harder to put into practise.

She said that the position at 36:05 is not as good for white as it would be in other lines, but actually Qb3+ check is winning on the spot.

36:04 Qb3+ is forced checkmate after Kh8 Rf8+ Bg8 Qg8# or after Qb3+ Qf7 Rf7 it should be very easy to win as white
Exactly, i think she missed that when she said "this position is not nearly as good as the other lines" ;)
I came here to reply the exact same thing. crazy to think a player of her level missed that!!!
During the rooks and the kings puzzle around 11 mins on the video, how was she able to queen side castle, with the black rook intercepting the B file?
she is an awesome lecturer
she is super nice to the students.
as a german, it was ridiculously difficult for me to find out that she meant "zwischenzug". Very great series though!

Correct me if I'm wrong but @36:04 there's a forced mate in 3. Qb3x,Kh8, RF8x,Bg8 Qxg8#
Or am I missing something.
at 36:03 in this movie, I think they may have missed queen B3 check. the only place the king can move is H8 and then we have rook F8 check mate.

Great speaking voice! Nice video! keep em coming
What if at 17:10, I play queen to E4? Then what would be black's best move? Next, if I do a check with the knight at G6 and then capture queen with queen and then advance. Is that a viable strategy?
From the position at 41:05 is there a variation to be won by black with Queen to F4?
Excellent!
the possion black kd8 & rb2
white ke1 & ra1
than casstle is possible for white king?
Thank you!! Awesome love the Swag..💪😊
I agree.. incredibly slow pace for such basic ideas.
In the missing piece example you could make fork with the knight and after pawn move there is discover check to the king and mate in 3 Nice licture
what's this opening called? where she's playing e4 and c3?
Thank you,
also i was looking for strategies and got tactics..
At 43:25 qa3 is a checkmate. Love your videos!
How does that double attack work if the rook attacks a square on the way.isnt castling supposed to be illegal?
36:04 isn't there a checkmate?
Qb3+, Kh8
Rf8+, Bg8
Qxg8#
I don't see any way to avoid that
There is but after 1. Qb3 black can sacrifice the queen. Its a mate in 5 tho. Qf7 2. Qf7+ Kh8 3. Qf8 Bg8 4. Rf7 Kh7 5. Qg7#
but how is the double attack with the queen side castle allowed if the black rook is on the way?
After castling the black rook is on the left of the king, it's not in the way.
😮 I said illegal move too!
My heart tells me nooooo
its not though.... the king never passes through the check
Yandi Roda Alarcón if the king has to pass through being in check then you cannot make the move but the king stops just before the white rooks file.
HELP ! WHAT WOULD YOU DO ? (I play at mid level beginner level)
I have followed the advice
- develop, control center, castle (and my rooks are connected)
the computer I'm playing has only 1 piece developed, no control of center and the King is exposed - no castle.
Yet - I'm stuck and can find no way to attack !
Please give your advice -
I'm the black pieces and control all of 1 - 4 (no white pieces on 1-4)

36.18 Jennifer said its not as clear as any of the other things. However, there is an unavoidable mate variation after Qb3.
The queen side castling at 12.20 is that legal? Doesn't the black rook blocking it's way?? Please explain.
Surely at 07:06 if black takes the pawn on d4, the white knight will capture bishop will then capture knight, then possibly leaving a queen exchange... But black still comes out better with the change of combining the rooks?
36:18 is the best situation to be in because you could move your queen to B3 and the black king can't move to F8 because the rook is guarding it same as to F7 so the only good move is king to H8 then you could move your rook to F8 to check the king then the bishop will be the only piece to block for the king then you could take it with your queen then checkmate. But even if black uses his queen to block the white queen when white moved her queen to B3 it will still be an easy check mate because you are up a queen and rook.
On minute 36.07, there was mate in 3 after queen takes on c7. Qb3+ and then Rf8+ and finally. Queen takes bishop, checkmate
At 36:18 isn't this one of the best lines as what has forced mate? Please show me where and if I'm wrong: Qb3+ Kh8 Rf8+ Bg8 Qxg8#
you are right but before that position black had quite a few question marks so you aren't actually achieving that line starting with Be6
This is exactly what I have thought of
What a teacher!
At 2:11 how are we allowed to castle when black rook is guarding a square in between??
This is nice!!!
Getting back into chess - when the video started I recognized her from poker!
12:06
can u castle with the castling route being threatened?
+Messav Works yes, as long as the king doesn't pass through the threat while castling
+gel mibson Wrong! You cannot castle.T
gel mibson That Guy I think ge| is right
+Messav Works Viktor Korchnoi, in his 1974 Candidates final match with Anatoly Karpov, famously asked the arbiter if castling was legal when the castling rook was under attack.[7] The arbiter answered in the affirmative, Korchnoi executed the move, and Karpov resigned shortly after.
***** nice ! TY
Position at 36:06, I disagree with her, that is a very good position. Sequence is: Qb3+, Qf7 (Kh8 would lead to Rf8+), QxQ+, Kh8, Rd1, Bg8, Qf8, Kh7, Rd7, Bf7, Qf7 or Rf7, (any move), Qg7#
at 36:04 isn't Qb3 check followed quickly by mate for white?
Thanks for sharing about an important tactic.I will look for your name on youtube to watch more quality videos.
I love her voice.
can you do in'rook when there is black rook in between king and white rook?
she's like the most adored woman on youtube ever.
min 36.04 move Q to b3 is winning i think....
the scores she's talking about 2600 are those the same as on sparkchess?
At aroung 12:00 I thought you couldn't castle if a peice is blocking it or am I wrong?
Yes u cant castle if there is a piece blocking king's way (c1,d1 on queen side / h1,g1 on king side) in this case Black's Rook doesnt block king's way so King can be castling (because King use to move only two steps to c1 (queen's side) and Rook on b2 only block on b1)
sry for my bad English
36:05 She says its not nearly as good as the lines earlier, but there is a forced mate starting with queen to b3.
recently followed your channel. im relearning chess so i could teach my son. what software are you using in the lectures?
bit late but chessbase
Can anyone tell me what software is Jennifer using in her lecture?
Good production
Thank you mam.
Wow😍😍😍what a smile
At the last problem why not pawn b3 first? Seems to be good
36:17 "Not as clear" But it is totally clear that 1. Qb3+ Kh8 2. Rh8# or 1. Qb3+ Qf7 2. Qxf7+ Kh8 3. Qf8# are instantly lethal. Whether or not these lines are more efficient than the candidate Ne6, I do not know. My gut instinct was with Ne6 also, but perhaps it might be instructive to compare variations?
Where is this Chess club located?
thanks nice video, just a little comment about 36:16 Qb3+ with mate to follow, seems Be6 is the stronger one.
I only go for the back row as opening as night c 3 it starts a castle
36:05 is a mate in 5 which is a very good position
2:55 why is bishop to e2 a bad move? cant understand what the audience member said
In the castling double attack, rook was thretening b1, wich mean king could not castle queen's side. Right?
Bruno Martins No, wrong. only the squares of the king, the first and destination squares (C1 & D1 castling long) can not be under enemy attack. Nor can you castle out of check or check mate.
36:13 is clear you play QB3+ then if QF7 take with queen followed by mate shortly other wise your getting ...KH8 RF8 BG8 QG8#
Whattt how can she castle when there is an attacker in between the range of castling
"I'M TRYING TO FIND IT JENNIFER!" Hahah oh my god
Where do these lectures happen? I'm in Orlando, FL. I wish to learn...
St Louis, MO.
35:57 could be analyzed further, with the pawn on D6
