I don't think that a GM would necessarily make a good teacher… except for neurologically freaky geniuses.
I didn't know YandereDev was this good at chess.
Really engaging and interesting lesson!
nice video! What do you think about adding funny cartoon to chess lectures for youngers? Which piece should be first be introducted to beginners?
grt way to teach, he really interacts in best way with childrens. even i learnt a lot from this game. Thanks man.
I know this was for kids but it's still one of the best chess lectures I've seen
Brilliant video – the only thing that jars me is that he he captures the pieces backwards.
I TOTALLY SUCK! HE is very good, but the camera man sucks too
2:50
great one lesson.
I was going through my playlist of chess games and at first I was like "Who is this guy? Never seen him before" Usually I like explanations by Yasser or Ronen or Ben Finegold (I know many people don't like him but I do) but after I watched this video, I think this was very well explained!
Very well explained!
GM needs a haircut
these kids are smarter than me wtf
thakns
The way he explained is great man
I started playing chess a month now . if I ever have kids foreal it'll be my 1sr suggestion for them to try. Its so beautifull, especially if u don't play only but also read about it. I forgot about fortinite and lol that I was addicted. Thank u chess
He's a fantastic teacher
24:00 Black moves Knight to D4??
Male teacher comments: "His explaining is very good, great teacher."
Female teacher comments: Sex jokes involving chess and talking about her good looks
Nice insights, just the idea I needed. Wonderful wonderful lecture.
So weird how chess players keep using the word idea wrong
Such a great teacher and lesson! Well done
holy crap ive been playing for a year and beat everybody i know in person and these little dudes are better than me! and this is a beginner lesson! holy smokes im screwed
Awesome lecture… He knows how to be interesting and interactive with kids… Unlike Ben Finegold
19:39 wrong count. whites up a lot actually. You missed the bishiop in your count of white.
when black knight on d4
Fantastic teacher, being a beginner I find all the rules very helpful.. didnt know you cant castle in check for example
My eyes glazed over within the first minute.

Good lesson!
This is a beginners class? These kids seem to know whats up. Way better than I do.
EDIT: I guess I was initially a bit uncertain because the video gets straight into strategy without covering the absolute basic stuff like I was looking for, but I realized that I already know the rules, and I was able to follow the reasoning behind the moves. I was less able to predict the moves than the class, but after it was pointed out I was able to understand why they were done. So I think I gained something from this.
I think I'll move to the adult lectures now, but I'm not too proud to come back, because this was good :B
After this whole video, I still play randomly….Fuq me
Nice! Even for adults because it's a "flawless" explanation with demonstration and conclusion perfectly delivered so even good player may learn something and even best player if not learning, will at least just enjoy the beauty of the line 😉
He is a really good teacher i must say, going over all the options and then clearly pointing out the benefits and flaws of each move.
