The Queen’s Gambit is a mainstay in chess opening theory. It is a great opening for beginners and improvers, because at the lower levels you can achieve much the same setup in most games, helping you get familiar with the themes, strategies and tactics of the opening. At the same time the Queen’s Gambit is an opening you can have with you for your entire chess life. It can be played at the beginner level, the club level, the grandmaster level and even at the world championship level. It will never get out of style, it will never get refuted and you’ll always be able to find new and fascinating ways to play it.
In this video you’ll get a deep strategic understanding of what your pieces want to do and why in the Queen’s Gambit. I believe it is most helpful for beginners and improvers to understand the ideas, plans and concepts rather than memorizing endless opening variations and then be left clueless as soon as their opponent deviates. After this strategic introduction I will show an example game so you can see for yourself how deadly the QG can be in effect.
I will make at least one follow-up video (coming out about a week’s time after this one) where I go over the most common responses to the Queen’s Gambit, so you’ll have an overview of all the different stuff black can try and hit you with.
If you are new to the channel I can understand if you are wondering about the peculiar manner in which I speak. This video is not only a chess tutorial, it is also what is known as an ASMR video. ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response and is described as a “tingling sensation” one can have when listening to a soft or whispery voice. The point is to relax the listener and maybe help them sleep. It is also known to be effective against anxiety and have a general calming effect. I can also have the exact opposite effect, which is known as misophonia. If you get inexplicably angry when hearing my voice, please do not be alarmed. This is normal and happens to about 5% of people. You can either vent your anger by writing a nasty comment (not generally recommended) or listening to powerful music – if you are into metal then put on some thrash, if you are into hiphop put on some MOP and scream it out (recommended).
In the video I say Capablanca and Alekhine played their WcM in 1934, which is incorrect. That match was played in 1927, but they played 34 games which was how I got it mixed up.
Mister/any Kind Person, could you please put subtitles?

Respect! Your pronunciaton is very clean and your explanation helps a lot.
Greetings from germany
It's nice that ur giving German a go ^^. Sounded good.
Thank you so much for this video. May I ask why did you play pawn to e3 in minute 34:00 instead of e4. (At the start of the video you were talking about d4 and e4 as the best opening pawns…)
Have you done anything on the London system? I really liked the Queen’s Gambit stuff and would love to see something on the London
Thanks God there is people like you
I love your wooded chess set! Where could I get that specific set? 😃
i have adhd and i recently picked up chess. your videos help me focus and learn chess while also being very relaxed!! i love your videos so much, keep it up! ❤
A-Chess-M-R 😂
Thank you so much
Genuinely, these videos improve my chess more than just about anything I’ve watched. After watching your Sicilian defense video, it has been what I play against 1.e4 and with amazing results because I understand the role of each piece in the position. If ever you have the time to make a video on playing the Spanish as white, I’d greatly appreciate it as it is my main opening for white.
I have been watching you for a while, I started because of the asmr, but I love your passion for chess. Sometimes when I play chess I just feel blind to what is happening around me.
Wow. Actually I'm only on your channel because of the Chessup (I'm kind of a Tec need) but your German flashed me completely 🤯
Why cant the queen take the knight and sacrifice itself?
Your german pronounciation is amazing!
Among the countless times I have watched this video, NOT A SINGLE TIME have I been able to make it all the way to the end without falling asleep <3 Queen's Gambit is my Go-To white strat now!
Remind for myself 13:00

Fear is the Mind killer!!
Hey Is this the Queens Gambit Style Chess Set? I want one.
Your German is very great not gonna lie.
Those chess pieces are so shiny are they new or old cause if there old uve done a great job at keeping them clean
I want this chess set so bad, does anyone know where I can buy it?
Me as a german really gotta say that you're speakin almost fluent but still very good.
Thank you, i understand it correctly.
Did he just say ‘control the spice, control the universe’ twice? ♥️
im kinda confused about the setup a littlebit, i mean it all has a good plan but the engine always wants the black bishop out first before moving pawn to e3 so its not closed. is it rly necessary for this setup to close the dark bishop first and to later open the e file for it? Or can the attack be almost the same with the bishop on f4 for example. Because my problem is that i sometimes end up in a situation where i cant rly attack blacks king the same like shown in the video and then the black bishop is underdeveloped
Im German and try this: das ist ein gutes video
Very good video!
Bro I hate the mouth noise!, not a big fan, get one of those thing that cover the mic please, love your content but I just hate the lips noise
Knight F5
Why does the 35:00 is the most reviewable part?
I hate his voice
Your so annoying
Great videos!
Really enjoy your style of teaching…. I too play on a DGT board and make vids of the online matches. I really like your Sicilian Defense video and this one's great too!
I modified my "Queens Gambit" after a period of play, to play the queens pawn, then e3, then c4. So the bishop is already covering c4. It seems to work most of the time.
Can I ask you to explain your lighting setup to get only the board lit in what appears to be a darkened room. Cool effect! It's a black surface the board is on right?
Can you do more of these? I really enjoy the way you explain the openings. It's not just a blitz of early moves with deep theoretical dives 20 moves in.
This video was amazing, the only recommendation I could possibly have, is that you have separate videos for experienced players who know the basics, and newer players (and if so, mentioned in the title) But otherwise, great video man!!
I can speak German english And latain
Wheres the next video of this series? I can't find it.
Where do you get this Chessboard, it looks so nice
