Masters are fascinating im a beginner and i dont know anything. For me these games just look so random but all of a sudden his master plan just works out. Its fascinating
I bet i can beat you Gotham!!
I lack focus
Everyone: Love you so much! Such a help!
Me: cracking up because he said ”That’s a nice number 😂”
But seriously, you are awesome. I’ve learned so much from you! Keep going!
"It's better to learn from masters"
is it?
Low rated players do not go up against masters. They go up against other low rated players. For whom something like the wayward queen attack won't always be punished effectively. Of course once they reach, say, 700, wayward queen doesn't really work. So they move onto something else. But probably not Ruy Lopez Berlin.
I thank you for this video so much!
This was genuinly the most educational video that i have ever seen. I ascended as a chess player up to a higher realm.
Thanks for the video, you are very good at teaching chess!

Gotham learned not to premove the opening the hard way
see, just do it like me: don't ever learn any opening theory in 10 years of playing chess and you bring your opponent down to your level because after 3 moves max, we are no longer in theory territory.
Lol for a fact bro yall are lucky to have gothamchess lololol..
every single opening i did was d4 or e4 followed by a knight
Gotham chess you helped me soooo much I owe you
I feel I need to know multiple because one may counter another better but idk I need more knowledge
It s complicated huhu but i still try to because i want to be better
you gotta do a new updated version for this video because both programs are so different looking and working now i cant even figure out how to use it at all.
I personally go for the bongcloud
Dead GothamChess, i've watched your videos for years. You have taught me so much about the game and you are the ONLY method i use to see new chess stuff or keep up with chess competitions. I got a request, if i may… There is an android chess game and i cannot, for the life of me, beat it. My brother belives it may be an engine who is at a too high dificulty, i belive i still Need to keep on improving… Is there any way you can try out the game, off camera of course, and beat all the AI in all dificulties as the Black Pieces. Im stuck at the 7th… Thanks and beat of luck to you!
Love the channel
I am so good at chess
I like the explanation on how to analyze past games here, but how helpful is it for a new player(like myself) to just know what are statistically bad moves, rather than WHY they’re bad moves? I do understand that the database at least helps you identify what move is the place to start looking, but I figure it’s more helpful to understand why certain moves are bad? Aside from them not leading to a good statistical outcome. Maybe I just need to become more familiar with fundamentals and openings first.
Good work levy
20:10 thats sus
bruh
As far as actually learning an opening, in this modern age we have resources that weren't available when I was young, like YouTube and chess computers. This is how I learn openings today. I pick some instructional videos on that opening and start a playlist. I write down the variations and moves in a notebook, repeating parts of the video at slower speeds. Then I re-watch the video numerous times, following along in my notebook. Then I do this with other videos on that opening that analyze other variations or continuations. I then follow up on transpositions to other openings. Then I notice the similarities and differences between openings, like the Kings Indian Attack or the 3.g3 Vienna or the closed Sicilian. I definitely respond better to video learning than setting up a chessboard and playing the moves from a book.
I like my girls how I like my chess openings
This helped
Very good !
This made my day 😂 20:04
Are we supposed to memorize all those openings and branches?
Gotham is like a kindergarten teacher that hates kids but also wants you to succeed
Yeah I understood none of this. 😭
Lovely! I’ve been a beginner for 50 years! Hopefully videos such as yours will help me make some progress!

HI, How do i play chess
Idk why but ever since I've taken chess seriously I have become dumber and dumber at it. 😂
Play the king’s pawn, if they play the same thing, queen h5, get their pawn, and checkmate
My opponent r so noob like me that I do these openings and they do something whack n we both just blunder 20 times lol
whats the difference between knowing the moves by heart and just plain using the computer or cheating in any other way. you didn't think of it yourself. that's what I don't like about modern chess. way to many preparations. reminds me of when I was a kid and my grandfather beat me with scholar's mate.
Im rated 200 and lose 100% of games. I wish I knew how that was possible, but I am absolutely terrible at the game.
wow so help ful
The openings some of them is hard to memorize but it's worth it once you mastered it but not gonna lie I wanna teach my brother that kind of opening
No help. Thanks for nothing.
Very informative for noobs like me.
I got an interesting question how did people study before databases and maybe you should make a video on studying the old school way
bro this is for BEGINNERS??!
Im just properly starting to learn chess and i didnt know the vienna was an opening i play that one quite regularly i then follow knight f3, pawn d4 then bishop etc
You seem angry and exasperated with less developed players for not being able to know the implications of every possible move when they don't have access to the engine during their game. ??
The problem with opening is I learn them and then I play someone who doesn’t even know them. I feel like I’m learning them for no reason
Noobs, you are lucky that GothamChess exists.
