    Hey, I already knew the rules of chess, but I just wanted to leave positive feedback. This is one of the best tutorials I've seen for the rules of any game, ever. The way you speak is clear and concise. The pacing is absolutely perfect. The idea to progress with ascending levels of complexity was also genius. The hand movements to demonstrate possible moves as well as the visual overlay with those arrows was a perfect touch that aids in cementing your understanding. Really, I am just chuffed because of how impressive the quality of this video is. I've honestly never used the youtube comment section to leave positive feedback before and I wish I could pay you to explain the rules of any board game I may want to learn. Great job!

    An excellent video for demonstrating the game! 40 years ago, my dad brought chart paper home from work to draw out all this information; he worked so hard to try to help me master the game. I'm still a beginner, but this video has helped refresh my understanding of en passant and castling. Thank you!

    if you still don't get en passant, here's how you can understand it with gamer terms:
    when a pawn moves 2 spaces forward, it leaves an extra hitbox behind it that can only be attacked by enemy pawns and lasts for 1 turn

    If your confused about En passant, this is my conclusion:
    En passant can be done when your opponent’s pawn passed beside your pawn on their pawn’s first move. by then, you can capture their pawn while moving forward.

    Also note that you can only capture En Passant on the next move after your opponents pawn tries to pass you. If you do not capture with en passant on your very next move you will no longer be able to capture via en passant.

    Pawn promotion can be anything, from being knight, bishop, rook and a queen. And a pawn to can kill diagonally, and a pawn can do a secret technique, it's called en passant. So a to pawn is standing right at eachother, the other pawn can capture the pawn diagonally when its formed a two pawn beside eachother, if you move any piece in the board the en passant is illegal or its forbidden. And a pawn to can move two square in a starting potition, u can decide to move the pawn one move or two move. And after that you cannot move two square, and a pawn too has a secret rule, of when the pawn reach the end it can transform into four different pieces [Disclaimer that i already mention it on the beggining of this essay] So that is all i know about the pawns in chess, thank you so much if you like this comment, and if you think this is helpfull too please like or subscribe to my channel. And have a good day bye! btw this is a reminder ok :D

    I will never call Tower a Rook or Horse a Knight. Rook comes from the persian "rukh" meaning chariot. Knight was the european rename of the horse because knights in royal courts usually mounted a horse. However, persians and arabians called it a horse in their respective languages. Aside from english, msot countries call it Tower in their respective language as well. Aside from the ridiculous piece english renames, I really enjoyed the video. Very useful to help explain the game to my cousin since she was having a hard time udnerstand it. Keep up the good work!

    I have a question about pawn promotion: If your pawn has reached the end and let's say you want to make another knight for example, but you already have 2 knights, is this possible? It seems unlikely to me you can have 3 rooks/3 knights/ 3 bishops. Most chess sets also come with only 2 rooks, 2 knights and 2 bishops. so this is very confusing to me.

    • @dontbanmerage416
      @dontbanmerage416 2 роки тому +8

      Yes you can even, in some crazy games, have 3 knights and 2 queens if you have promoted 2 pawns, one of them making a 3rd horse and the second making ab extra queen. If you are playing over the board and don't have the extra prices you usually have to find a random small object such as a pebble or some coins with a paper rolled up to stand on it (it's a little bougie but I like to carry a paperweight and some DND dice to signify my extra prices)

      @senseiadam-brawlstars9465 Рік тому +2

      Yea, you can have as many of one piece as you want. There's been a famous game where both players had 3 queens. Basically just make something that represents those extra pieces like two pawns on one square, or an upside down rook being an extra queen

  • @leesweets4110
    @leesweets4110 Рік тому

    Correct me if Im wrong, as you didnt explicitly mention it. But if a pawn moves two squares beside the opposing pawn, that opposing pawn can only capture en passant on the very next move. No delay. Your "if pawns have ever faced off, keep your hands off" rule does not cover the full truth.

  • @vertigo0105
    @vertigo0105 Рік тому

    I think I've got the basics of what the pieces can do/move and how to win (checkmate). Good thing the pieces and rules are simple and not complicated at all, lol. But yeah, there are a lot of rules, movements to understand, and that is just the basics...understanding all that, and having advanced strategies, plus being able to see numerous moves ahead makes a complex game exponentially more complex. I think this would require a great death of knowledge on the game, the strategies, and both a super awesome memory & insight. Not having a great short term memory, having anxiety & panic disorders, and having a form of dyslexia whereby sometimes digits get reversed in your head might make this game even that much more difficult, as moving the wrong way by accident could cause you to have pieces captured unintentionally. I think wrapping my head around this would take some time, although it would likely become fascinating/exciting once I got the hang of it a bit more, got past the basics and started learning more advanced strategies.
    I'll think I'll stick to checkers for now, but I am quite curious and may give chess a try at some point...I definitely respect the game more now. The Queen's Gambit series started my curiosity with the game & watching this and other videos keeps my interest peaked. I wish they would slow down and show what the move was, or where the checkmate is, as I don't see it when they play. It would also be nice if when they have checkmate that they follow through, make the final move with the piece and knock the opponents king down, thereby showing the actual checkmate in action! I'm not sure why they don't do that in any video, and it just leaves people like me who are curious (& don't really know the game) not knowing what happened in the end, nor be able to see where the checkmate is (maybe pausing and studying the board pieces I might be able to figure it out slowly)...it would just be great to actually see them move the piece to perform the checkmate and knock the king down, which I think is how/when the game is won...

      @opendoorchess 11 місяців тому

      Hey! This is a bit late, but here ya go : ) So checkmate is a position where the King is in "check" but has no options to avoid it in the next move (run to a safe square, block the check, or capture the piece checking). Stale mate is a position where White or Black has no available pieces to move, BUT the King is not in "check". In this position there are no legal moves and the game ends in a draw.
