You've been told to castle before move 10. And while that's good a lot of the time, there are certain situations where it's not the best idea to castle in chess. In this video, I will explain 4 situations you may want to consider NOT CASTLING. - Навчання та стиль
Stuck at 1000 elo? Not anymore: chessvibescourses.thinkific.com/
No
fonnaly know to to play :D
stuck at 300 elo *sad*
@LOL Chicken here haha you have no brain or what
Now if I understand the video the way to remember whether to castle or not is simple. If it prevents you from attacking the opponents king then don't do it. If it puts your king in danger don't do it.
Castling directly into a mate in 1 is probably a bad strategy…
Castling into a check is also probably bad
@@hkm239 You cannot castle into a check
@@yurrie5008 Yeh, that's the joke
@Nishkarsh you cant
Speaking of that I was playing chess against my mom and she set up a trap where if I castles I would get into a mate in one which was smart but I just castles the other direction
There is a 5th time I can think of not to castle: You have traded queens and the king is safer in the middle sometimes it is good to keep your options open too.
Not 'safer' in the middle but more active ;)
Isn’t this reason 3?
In the exchange the side that takes the queen with the king can no longer castle which is generally a disadvantage
Good thought!
6th is in 4 player chess since you are moving very close to an opposing player
I can think of one more situation when you shouldn't castle.
5. Don't castle if your apartment is on fire. The king will still be in danger, push your family away from the door, lock the door to ensure the king doesn't get trampled and get him outside.
6. Don’t castle if you’re planning on deploying the Tennison Gambit, Intercontinental Ballistic Missile variant. It’s useless and just delays your attack.
@@GRBtutorials7. Don’t castle when the king will have no breathing room and could die due to lack of oxygen and carbon dioxide poisoning
@@SG2048-meta You breathe heavily because knight checkmated you?
8. Don't castle when many of ur opponents minor pieces are attacking ur king. This way, u would trick ur opponents into thinking that u have a trap set up
7: If there's an Cobalt-208 bomb at the chess board and near your king, you shouldn't castle, as it gives more powerful explosion as the rook is loyal to the Tsar Bomba, and it will disregard the rook
3:13 what a genius way to develop a bishop!
😂😂
Bishop moves that shouldn't even exist!
bishop battery
Plays chess but every piece operates like a different piece. E.g. Bishops are knights, knights are queens, queens are pawns, pawns are rooks, and rooks are bishops.
@@ajnodurft-faught2039 I have seen a variant where you move a piece and the piece changes. So, pawn turns into knight, knight turns into bishop, bishop turns into rook, rook turns into queen, queen turns into king and then king turns back into a pawn.
Worth noting: castling is typically understood to have two functions, not one. Besides king safety, the other goal is to connect rooks, or if that's not in the position, to get the rook out of the corner and closer to the center where it can be more effective. Kf8 at 6:41 preserves king safety but the rook on h8 will need to find a way to play, probably by opening the h-file. I have not doubt NM Lopez knows all that, just thought I'd add the point.
i would normally agree but his goal in the position was to be as solid as possible, plus in that postion h5 gets a tempo on the queen and you can get the rook out that way.
@@user-rk7rl7tm5w Fair
I do have a question about that situation, why (if black' castles) wouldn't white just play bisschop h6? It seems like a good move to me but probably isn't.
@@baksteenspook1560 At 6:41, if ...0-0, then Bh6 is playable; but I think isn't too special, because a move like Ng6 really slows white's attack.
@baksteenspook Ng6
@3:20 "nobody pushes pawns forward like this"
I declare myself guilty
As long as we are 2000+, its good
Automatic castling has always been a sign to me that the person I'm playing with isn't *playing* the game-- they're just following a 'chess walkthrough'.
helo guys 2day we will be learning hw to play chess for windows xp
Another completely useful lesson. When you teach, you make every word count. Keep posting!
1. You have already made weakening pawn moves on that side of the board
2. If you are going to come under attack by a pawn storm
3. When your king is actually just safer staying in the centre
4. If it is going to prevent you from attacking on that side of the board
so the take away.... this is turning out to be a really great chess channel
Would also add if the queens are exchanged early,and the game moves quickly towards the endgame.
Well, its a bad idea to castle when playing for the Bongcloud.
I don't think anyone watching this vid would even know bongcloud
@@Silverpig420 n o
@@Silverpig420 everyone knows the bongcloud
A 5th reason: You have a tactic that's worth keeping your king in the center (at least temporarily).
I suppose if you have that kind of tactics, you don’t learn anything from an NM.
@@anamorfoplasis Eh, even beginners sometimes pick up gambit lines that don't leave enough tempo for them to castle.
@@Mothuzad I misunderstood your comment first time. Thought you mean the King itself is a part of the scheme.
@@anamorfoplasis Ah, I see! Yes, that would be very advanced. Extremely risky.
I was just thinking of the more normal situation where you can't spare the tempo to castle.
@@Mothuzad Ke2
castling is always bad! The king is a valuable piece and it should be a part of the attack, not hid away in some corner! trust me i'm nearly 400 rated
im 4x your rating but kinda agree.
when black castles early and you dont as white then it becomes quite difficult for white to create attack but i can attack or develop any side of the board
What if casting comes with checkmate?
(Fr tho O-O-O# would be satisfying)
I had once ended up in a situation where my king was defending a threatened piece (a bishop, I believe). I accidentally misclicked and castled, which completely broke my defence. I feel this is the most difficult misclick to do.
Ah yes, the old "mouse slip" (along the lines of the "finger slip"). Technology gives us new ways to lose at chess, doesn't it?
Should have included Greek gift stuff. It’s unsafe to castle if they have a bishop sacrifice tactic.
Thanks again for the rounded content so well presented.
Love the content. Learned alot from this channel
Your channel is such a huge vibe and I love your videos!! You are my favorite chess UA-camr!!
On a sidenote to "reason #4". Not castling is also forcing black (in this case) to chose between attacking the king in the centre or or attack the queenside. If he attacks the centre you still got the queenside castle to hide, and if he attacks queenside, you just dont castle into the attack.
Great content man. Keep it up!! Super helpful.
Good advices and very well presented.
Castling is a great way to activate your rooks and move your king out of danger. However if you have a strong attack and you’re relatively confident that you can play forcing moves that will make your opponent play defensively, you can sometimes have more tempo by focusing on the attack. If you succeed in closing the centre and protecting it, you only want to redirect your king once you’re confident that you can also protect that side.
Also, don’t be afraid to sometimes castle queenside if you have developed those pieces and are being attacked on the king side. I think lots of people take the principle too literally about castling early because it can be tricky to develop your queenside as quickly.
Such a nice explanation. He is certainly going to bang on near future. keep up the good work.
Very instructions and insightful!
Thanks for this such useful video!!
Well presented; thank you for sharing.
Thank you for this video. I have found it helpful.
By far my favourite chess channel and most useful clearly outlined advice
This was very ussful! Thank you!
You covered two of my favorite openings in this video. The French and the last example would be the samisch if Black goes with KID. Good video and keep up the hard work!
The French is your favorite, but that's not a good way to advance or become a better player.
Ive been going into hippo style openings for white and black, starting with modern, larsen attack, pirc, etc into hippo style, and a lot of times i castle really late, or not at all, and my king is still protected with this type of opening for me. Im around 900 rapid 1800 puzzles, 28 survival, 1150 daily, and just started playing in november last year. Been seeing a lot of improvement thanks to your channel. Thank you for the info.
Best chess channel by far imo!
Another situation is if the king is the only guard of a piece.
Thank you as always to share your great knowldge to us , I have read in a book that there is one more time Castle may not be needed when there are eearly exchange of queens. (because that time main threatening peice is out from the board and game pace become slow )
Been watching your channel a ton lately, and I'm amazed how much value you dish out every video. I watch a lot of chess youtubers and I just don't feel they share as much valuable information per video as you. Who knows, maybe I'm just a total noob. Either way, super appreciative of your channel.
I appreciate that!
Wow nice info🔥👊
Great lesson, thanks
Thanks for the tips
@chessvibes great video!
Aloha from Hawaii!
Are you a new channel? You're definitely blowing up soon.
I’m surprised no one mentioned well 6th reason not to castle is when the King is protecting a piece. I have seen that in many many club games. Usually at the lower scale of the ratings but again blunders are the mishaps on the chess board!
Thanks a lot , very beneficial.
Awesome video!
Thank you! Although i have not learned english well, this video was very useful for me
I love move f4 either before or right after castling kingside in king pawn positions
Thanks. It's great to have some rules-of-thumb rather than analyzing each situation from basic principles.
very instructive
Yes! I love the king side pawn storm with no castle! Also, I love to say fee-un-KET-toe. That Italian ch is a like the ch in school. And, the plural of tempo is tempi, like Tempe, Arizona ... TEM-pee.
A lot of computers nowadays are opting not to castle, instead move the king over one and pushing the A/H pawns with their rook behind (in specific situations obviously)
I love Chess Vibes! Very good content. Can you please do a video on chess strategies and tips when you CAN'T castle. In other words, your opponent just traded queens on d1 and you had to recapture with your king, taking away castling rights. Are there good strategies to follow when this happens. Thx!
If you let your opponent play ....Qxd1+ Kxd1 in the opening, then your openings suck and you're most definitely a chess beginner under 1000 elo.
With the last one, the Yugoslav attack is my favorite weapon against the Sicilian (mostly because it's traumatized me a lot even just as a Najdorf player) and in that opening you just want to castle queenside at some point and do g4 h4 h5. ...I've lost an unfortunate number of games to h4 h5 stopping my attack cold as I simply don't have the control over g4 necessary to bust open the position anymore, but that's not related to castling.
I usually castle more to get the rook in the center fast than to defend the king, it happens that I already moved all the pawn on one side and I still castle to throw the rook straight into the action
Today, I just had someone castle against me in a game but that castle allowed me to fork both of their rooks with a pawn. I still can't figure out why they thought that was a good idea.
As an intermediate player, that seems to be a very helpful tip. In a lot of situations I found out I can not attack the opposite king easily, but here we are when i castle sometimes i take away an opportunity away from myself.
6:51 you could also move the left rook to protect the pawn the the queen was attacking, because of this the rook will be protecting the pawn.
3rd situation French defense white sometimes plays the black squared bishop to h6 as the pawn is pinned by queen but that's bad cuz knight f5
4. You're in a position where every tempo counts (e.g. you're mounting a crushing attack on your opponent's king before he gets the chance to castle) ─ in this case, castling often wastes a tempo and gives your opponent time to regroup.
5. In the endgame, king safety is no longer a concern, and the king is just more active and, as a result, useful closer to the centre. Note that just because the queens are off the board doesn't mean you're in an endgame, and, conversely, just because queens are on the board doesn't mean you're not in an endgame.
@3:43, this is the kind of thing I would fall into, especially in faster games
Your closing music is 🔥
Black castles king side in very few of French defense variations. (Tarrash and some variations of early advance)
Excellent video
i love this guy he deserves all the best
And what do you think about opening f-line and castling king's side in vienna game, especially in vienna gambit?
ty for te video !
5th time, when it's better to capture with King, in the opening over another piece or for material/tempo advantage.
5. You're approaching the endgame and your King is more useful in the centre (to leap into action, capture pawns, etc)
the bankrank checkmate is most probarly for earlies cuz after that they bring the rooks out and nothing blocking the king
Great content.
I know one, when there isn't anything protecting the line with the king and 3 pawns are blocking the king, they can mate using a castle or queen
I generally don't tell any beginner to "castle" I refer to it as "King Safety" it just makes it easier
"Fianchetto" is an Italian word. It's pronounced with a "k" sound (something like "fyankettoh").
Similarly (and another that just bugs me) bruschetta should be pronounced "brusketta."
Bruh its irrelevant we all knew what he ment
@@lukacalov1988: Yeah so since it's irrelevant tomorrow everybody is going to mispronounce you name or, I don't know, any word whatsoever and you're ok with that.
While interesting to consider the roots of the word, he is pronouncing it correctly in American English.
@@claiminglight: I would assume the correct American English pronounciation is "fianketto" since the k sound is present in English and easy to use by native American English speakers. A bit like the word "hyerarchy" which is not Greek, but it comes from Greek and is pronounced with a k sound too. - On the other hand, I wouldn't insist on people pronouncing the Italian R like native Italian speakers, cause it's a sound that doesn't exist in English.
Thanks for another great video.
07:59 what is the system/opening you are playing as white there?
I'm not sure if that variation for white has a name, but the main opening is the Pirc and that f3 setup is just something I like to use. Hope that helps!
@@ChessVibesOfficial Thanks, no problem.
Nice video Sir
As a general rule, I tend to castle early as that is the orthodoxy, and I have often beaten opponents who did not castle in time. But sometimes I have lost to opponents who anticipated the castling habit and targeted that area. Sometimes I weakened the position by an injudicious pawn move. G3 or F3.
Sometimes I have escaped an attack by castling queenside when the opponent expected kingside castling.
Great video! Do you recommend castling when playing London?
Yeah most of the time castling would be good in the London 👍
There's another example, although it's similar to number 3: castling in front an open file, or worse, 2 open files. If your opponent's a and/or b, or g and/or h pawns are gone, you don't want to castle there, or it will be very easy for your opponent to just put a rook on these files and hammer your castle.
A new challenger has arrived! Just like when you unlock Captain Falcon. I'm happy to come across a new chess channel, subscribed faster than a cheetah on the Autobahn. By the way, the i in "tempi" is the same as the i in "piano", it's not "temp-eye" just like it's not "pie-ano". Also Giuoco is pronounced "jee-Oko".
Sir, I contest your correction, sir. I'm not Italian but I think "jee-Oko" is a bit off. For English speakers I think something like "djyoko" works best. I believe the Italian is something like this: www.vocabolaudio.com/it/giuoco
@Asher Brauner I should've made sure I knew what I was saying or otherwise said nothing. I guess the hard g sound bugged me for some reason. Now that I think of it, I don't enjoy the fact that I was nitpicking on how he says the terms. He's a much stronger player than me, so I should just sit down and listen. And that's crazy though, I didn't know the U sound came up like that. I appreciate the input.
@@tuddgrimley8532 Thanks for the pleasant response. I would say, though, that there is some correlation between a chess teacher knowing how to pronounce the international terms and that teacher being top notch. The more time one spends with more elite players and coaches, the more one hears words like "tempi" pronounced as the general chess community does so. The fact that NM Lopez missed a few suggests he is not as knowledgeable as some other well known chess personalities and therefore it raises hesitation as to whether his chess knowledge is really top notch. Naturally he's far better than many of us who get the sounds right, but -- we all have things to learn.
Such a good video, I once castled into danger and ACTUALLY lost by force in 8 moves. And I never did that again XD
4 times not to castle: mate in 1, mate in 2, mate in 3, mate in 4
Your all tips come from your good heart
Nice video. Just a point about white's pawn on F2. I sometimes play pawn to F3 to support the pawn on E4. Sometimes after castling I play F4 to try and open the file with the Rook supporting the pawn. Are those bad ideas?
No if done carefully those can be fine. Just be careful along the diagonal with your king after you open it up
On 7:15 I think you would get checkmated bishop to H3 then queen to G2
Very useful video dear
Greetings from Guatemala, and happy fourth of July. I started playing chess online several months ago. For several reasons, I like playing 10-minute games, rather than slower or faster time controls. At first I was having trouble getting into a middle game with a decent playable position, and my rating was going down each week. Then I started playing closed systems - not exactly the Hippopotamus, but much like the Hippopotamus. And I play that closed opening system as both white and as black. I know the general rule in chess is to castle early. It seems to me that in my closed games, it was safe for me to delay castling. Your excellent video clearly shows when it is bad to castle, but what about the question - when is it safe to delay castling? I seems to me that delaying castling can potentially have several advantages - Sometimes I initiate a series of trades that puts me in an endgame position, where having the king in the center can be an advantage. Other times it seems that I often win games by waiting until my opponent castles. I can then castle on the opposite side, and have fun practicing and getting better at - lining up my rooks and queen, pushing my pawns forward, and placing my minor pieces on good squares, for an attack on my opponent's king. Though I lose a lot of games on time, I win enough games each week, that my rating has gone up significantly over the last month, since I started playing closed games. I plan on using my own version of the woodpecker method to learn to play faster and better. So again, my question is - when is it safe to delay castling in closed games?
Delaying castling is a very good idea and I do this frequently to try to get a better idea of what my opponent is going to do. The key point is that you just need to make sure that you don't somehow get "stuck" with your king in the center. So if your opponent can cut off the castling route with a bishop, or somehow open the center with tempo and put you in check before you can castle, that is when it becomes risky to not castle. But if those things can't happen, then delaying castling is a good idea a lot of the times. Hope that helps!
What’s special in 4th July?

You also shouldn't castle with a queenless middlegame. It will be an endgame your king needs to play an active role in the center
Good Tactical Advice for Novice and experienced players.
I usually play h3, but I play g3 after castling if my opponent has a dark squared bishop, that way he can't put it in the g2 diagonal and back rank mate me
"there are some times when castling is bad" like for example when your queen is hanging unprrtected
2:22 “Fianchetto” the ch makes a k sound!!! 😂
How do you make different colored arrows on the board?
I like to attack on both flanks (freaks out some newbies) and therefore I rarely castle, I just have a 515 rating and am still trying to perfect this strategy :).
I realized I've often castled simply for its own sake, not because it would make my King more secure. I get cornered when my opponent directs all their resources to that corner! So I prefer to keep my King relatively close to the center where I have some mobility options but well defended.
5th example: it is endgame and there are no threats to king so you keep it more active
I like to do Queenside castle more since I always feels like I am buffing my Queen with some rook ammo(or reinforcement)
but requires one extra move of King to be safe else queen can trap in to check or or checkmate (it happened to me )
I made mistake #3 once - regretted it, got into a tough spot
when people do the early pawn storm to prevent king side castle what is the best counter to punish them ?
I once boxed pretty much the entirity of my opponents pieces into the left side of the board after they castled to the left, leaving myself a queen, two rooks, and 2 pawns attacking up the gh- files with king and a horse XD. It was brutal but honestly my own pawns where the only thing preventing mate xD
6:30 And that’s exactly why I almost always castle on the king’s side. The queen’s side is just too risky
I remember when i played against my grandfather in chess castled and lost.
