I love this. Im only a begginer but you have a great talent of explaining the " why ". Please make more

@robertakerman3570 2 года назад

Me too, but in the beginning I had a few "what about this, that & other." T'was fun though.

@eddarby469 Год назад

@@robertakerman3570 yes, if you open d4, you have to have an understanding of a handful of responses. She discusses the QGA some and then illustrates the QGD. But you have to know the KID, and the Benoni, among others. Now, playing 1)e4 requires you to learn a handful of defenses too, so queen pawn - king pawn is about the same. Generally, with 1)e4 you will learn the Closed and Open Spanish, the Sicilian and the Caro Kann, the French and the Modern. And the Sicilian requires some knowledge of 3 or 4 variations.

@nitailevi5401 2 года назад

3:50 its not a free rook, its a free knight. Knight is defense the rook, queen take knight and check the king and then bishop defense king and the queen cant take the rook elsewhere she gonna be taking by the black queen. But everything else is good. Good job anna love your videos.

@DaveLH 3 года назад

Thanks for this video, Anna -- I'm a d4 player too generally, as white, if only to stop black from playing the Sicilian, which terrifies me. But I appreciate you're going over the Queen's Gambit because I don't want to get into a pattern where I'm always playing the London. I hope you can do more videos on Openings, because you explain the rationale behind the moves very well without getting too esoteric.

@scottski51 2 года назад

This is a Great Video, Anna! I've watched it several times.... Just to get the basic starting moves down for fun games with friends. The explanations plus the several Q&A stops are really helpful !! Good job!

@Marko964 2 года назад

Going e3 if they accept the gambit is decent but in my opinion e4 is better because you’re taking the full center also once they played h6 a better move for a 1200 would be h4 defending with the pawn and if they take it’s soon going to be mate

Thanks for teaching me the queens gambit, I guess. Your teachings were clear and efficient to me. These revelations about the queensgambit and its implications are huge. Its a shocking technique in itself, and it also changes the way I see the game itself. You might be a good teacher. (I've only watched until 7:46.)

@Warriorking.1963 2 года назад

I have to give you a thumbs up for this one. I've really tried reading books about Chess, but man they're hard work. But you managed to explain this is a manner that even a complete rookie like me could understand. One thing I will say, you might be able to beat me senseless at Chess, but if we ever meet across the Snakes & Ladders table, or even face other at Tic Tac Toe, and it's you who'll be in trouble!! 🤣

@DVineMe 2 года назад

For not wanting to show the London, apart from the c pawn sac (the knight can still go to c3), the bishop on h4 (would probably go back to g3 if not on f4) and the lack of a knight on e5, you have managed to put all of white's pieces exactly like they would be in the London lol. And yes different ideas of course (although still everything set up for a massive attack on the king side).

@ninpipu 3 месяца назад

This is amazing. you are great at explaining why of the moves. i am a beginner ( 800s) and trying to improve my game. please make more such videos explaining the logic of moves.

@questrequested9171 2 года назад

i like to take on c4 after the bishop moves to d3, since that means white loses a tempo cuz it has to take back on c4, but rather wants to go back immediately to d3. and that way the long white diagonal also stays open for blacks white-squared bishop

@esquire9445 Год назад

I love how happy she is… watching her makes me happier.

@elwind762 3 года назад

Watched because I started playing Blitz (1032 thank lower ELOs being good in tournaments) and I’m seeing Queen’s Gambit a lot more often than in Rapid (pretty much never at 1377). As Black, my pieces get stuck from development all the time and it’s annoying! (I normally go for C4/C5 type openings)

@Br8kz 2 года назад

3:51 they don't actually have to lose the rook tho, cuz Knight c6 blocks, after capture with a check bishop blocks check then queen guards rook so you can't take rook, that position is a free knight not a rook.

@kitsuiam1082 2 года назад

Yes ,or simply sacrificing the bishop on b7 rather than the knight which is a more versatile piece of the game i guess!!!!

@japaneselearner5103 2 года назад

If they block you can take both. That’s a fork with the king and rook. They will be losing a rook and knight

@xhonchoftw8846 2 года назад

@@kitsuiam1082 If they block with Bishop on b7 then you take it with your queen, and nothing can take your queen, so you win a bishop and a rook.

@xhonchoftw8846 2 года назад

@@japaneselearner5103 NAH, this comment is right, if they block with knight then you take it with your queen, then the King and Rook are forked, but Bishop can deflect the check on the King, and that means b8 and c8 are open, so if you take the rook with your Queen, Queen takes it, and you trade a Knight and a Rook for your Queen.

@sweetspotdrummer 2 года назад

Great pointers on strategy and objective. If one studies the game that much, does it not make chess more predictable and that great chess players are not "geniuses" (like many think) but the ones who've internalized or memorized the most important moves??
