Simplifying Pawn Structure: My Key to More Chess Wins
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 чер 2024
- My chess ELO really started climbing once I understood pawn structure, how to exploit weak squares, and how pawns fit into broader chess strategy. NEW TO CHESS?! I also reveal my most important concept for beginners to understand related to pawns.
This is part 2 of 3 of my pawn rankings where I reveal the most important concepts to understand related to pawns (in my humble, non-grandmaster opinion...). My approach to chess is about simplifying the game, giving mental shortcuts, while keeping a very fun and entertaining game (i.e. I ain't memorizing!).
Part 1 was about Backwards Pawns: • Chess Strategy: How Ba...
Part 3 will reveal the last 4 concepts: • Doubled Pawns: Chess W...

Anyone else click the video just for the mustache?
I am so excited to have found a chess channel reusing not only the set but also the sound effects collection from a horror flic! Nice of the chess instructor to dress up as cast as well! What a great idea!
Lol which one are you talking about? I can watch it and lean in
I’ve studying theory for years. Trying to memorize positions. But, I’m realizing now it was all pure memorization and I didn’t understand the concepts for the moves.
These concepts help so much. I’ve never had things explained like this and I’ve been trying to learn chess for 3 months.
Glad these help! Best of luck with your chess game!
As a beginner, this video was extremely helpful. I’ve watched lots of chess videos online but this one is really straightforward and to the point. You have a good way of explaining stuff. I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos!
I'm glad you liked it, Ty! I really appreciate the comment, too :)
I enjoyed this video very much! Good job!
Great to hear! Thank you!
Another chess channel ... and a breath of fresh air in the ever-growing selection on UA-cam! Great explanation, short and precise, thank you very much. I hope you make more videos and explain more principles of our beloved royal game in this style!
Much appreciated! That's the plan :)
This is the video i found your channel with. I really like the concept of how the pawns are pointing to where you should attack. Its very helpful
Glad it helped and welcome!
Very enjoyable and informative video! Thanks for the upload, will be checking out your other stuff
Awesome, thank you!

@@PillagingPony awesome....let's get it!!!

The force is strong with you - glad you were able to pick up something!
@@PillagingPony look forward to the next vids
Solid chess cave.
I really enjoy playing the king's indian defense, and this concept of attack is really interesting, thank you so much.
One of my favorites as well! Who doesn't like a giant attack?! :)
Nice video
Just earned your 116th sub. Great content, keep it up! I'm about 1900, and found a couple concepts helpful :)
Welcome!
I’m definitely Edging in my games.
Thank you My Name is Earl, very entertaining and informative, you earned yourself a new subscriber.
Predictions for the Candidates next week?
Thanks, Earl! I'm Adam.
Hard question for sure. To win, you have to (generally) take lots of risks and get 3 or 4 wins without a loss. I like Ian or Hikaru for that, but my heart wants Pragg.
Round 1 snooze fest though. My 3 favs all have black.
Do you have a prediction?
Great video! Also, you look like Aaron Rodgers' stunt double in the thumbnail lol
Haha. I got tired of selling the Discount Double Check so decided to start this YT Channel :)
9:22 I was sensing some trouble like that was possible. I was like why the hell are you moving your king to the queenside? It's unnecessary and it is also dangerous because pawns alone are poor defenders of your king.
I was trying to create my own immortal game :) Good call!
I Appreciate The Chess Advice, However; What's The Name of The Music at The Start of This Video ? Thanks in Advance.
I'm looking trying to find! It's from Epidemic Sound, I need to bust out my external hard drive to find the name.
Mustache goals, mines still a baby right now😂😂😂
Haha thanks! Stay the path :)
Can you play with your subscribers once or twice a week at a certain time as one of the perks of your channel. It may help if you want to get your channel off the ground at this point.
I'm definitely not opposed to new ideas like that and planning something like that later in the Spring. I'll be sure to reach out to you when I get the first live event launched
