@@HeavenlyWarrior it was a joke, but seriously some problems are not as big as we perceive them, and some of them really disappear with time without our help.
@@Teti_K I know it was a joke but jokes aside I said that from my own experience. That will depend on what you will consider a "problem". Probably most things we call problems aren't really one. Any real problem needs to be faced (it migh not be right away) sooner or later under the consequence of destroying us and our life.
You've single-handedly turned chess into something I enjoy. 100% serious. I always used to play chess with my dad and that was a good time and all, but whenever I looked up strategy it was always like reading a PhD thesis-- super dry and dense (with a tinge of elitism as well). The way you present chess makes it into what it's supposed to be: a GAME. I like having all these little missions. Makes me understand the actual game plan, what makes it work and what makes it not work. Thank you
Yeah. As someone that recently took on chess, i really enjoy that now the content is widely avaliable without the elitism related to it. It's really refreshing
The kings Indian can be played against most openings, but what you failed to realise is that it takes skill to play this opening. Allowing the opponent to gain a lot of space from you is really hard for beginners to deal with. So DONT PLAY THE KINGS INDIAN I DID IT AND SUCCEEDED THROUGH HARD WORK, BUT ITS EASIER TO JUST LEARN MORE OPENINGS.
I'm 1850 lichess and been playing the kings indian for about 4 years. This is one of the best KiD videos I've seen. Distilling the complexity of this opening into 11 mins is remarkable. Great job
King's Indian is good for online games, but for OTB games, I would rather suggest playing the King's American where you just pull out a glock. It has a 100% success rate.
As a chess coach (2100 FIDE, 2500 online) I find it extremely instructive how you make learning an opening easy to learn. You advocate some very bad plans sometimes as a way to cut corners which is totally ok for beginners. I will definitely get inspiration for my lessons thanks to this
I honestly look forward to your videos as they are legit so easy to understand. The best part is that I can effectively play the opening without memorizing hundreds of different variations. Thanks chesspage1.
I came here to thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I watched your video a couple of hours ago, and applied your simple method whenever i got black pieces and as a very noob player to chess this works like blessings. This really creates a strong defense and your attacks are very safe and easily manageable. Thanks
As a classical music maniac, your choice of music mostly pertains to classical or instrumental background-ish music, which isn’t distracting from your well-explained contents at all. I’m learning Kings Indian & Caro Khan rn and your vid’s helped a lot. Many thx
Bro this guy actually makes chess videos funny and interesting. Every time I watch another chess RUclipsr they explain like everyone automatically can read their mind. Thank you
@@Dc-kk9bdIt is a forced check bro , white king have to take the queen which preventing your enemy from taking your knight and plus, now your enemy can't castle after taking your queen
Probably the best opening video I’ve ever watched, started playing rapid around 500 rated and was struggling with understanding and trying to memorise different opening lines. But this video made it so simple and clear that I always play a kings Indian now. Currently at 1200 after about 9/10 months and can’t wait to keep growing as a player.
I appreciate you a lot for giving out these lessons. It has helped me a lot to improve in chess. Also, for the ones wondering, GM Hikaru played that game against GM Wesley So.
Thank you for pointing out the Neutralizing tactic. Please continue to highlight tactics that are beyond the pin/skewer/fork. I have learned a lot about tactics from your channel. Thank you!
I have literally never commented on a RUclips video before, but your videos are some of the best, funniest content out there. Thanks for bringing a smile.
This is by far the best chess opening explanation I have seen, the causal way is just so good and this way we can easily have a good understanding about the opening before going too deep in it ❤️
Been playing it for over a year and came to the point when I could give those numerous checks to my opponent but still having a hard time of mating as I am by far not Hikaru. The opening is amazing for bullet chess, where you know exactly your first moves and mostly safe no matter what.
Thanks for making a video on the King's Indian Setup! I never really knew how to play the middle game and I really didn't want to memorize a mind numbing amount of variations. Hoping to see more great videos coming out! Keep it up.
In your case I feel, you really want to share your knowledge and really understand the way of thinking of lower rated player. You're channel can be easily my favorite chess channel and probably other's too. I learned for more about King's Indian / Pirc defense in this short video than ever...
I really enjoy your opening vidoes, cuz u dont only show an opening moves, u also explain role of each piece toheter and midlle game plans. Seriously, medile game plans are very importand during openings.
The music was a big help in this video. I usually get annoyed with lots of computer generated voices, but the music kept some personality in the video and made it enjoyable
I found this opening pretty deadly at low elo.Often people even dont develop their white knight, so you can just Bb2 and take free rook. Thats tope and thanks for the guide, nice!
i loved the explanations and missions with the humour and memes. perfectly balanced and on point, it really made the learning boring part a lot more fun and enjoyable for me... great video
Been looking forward to this one! I’ve had yet to see anyone make sense of this opening, and I’ve really wanted to learn it because of how versatile it is. Please keep making more of these.
This was awesome! I know there is a lot more study required but after watching this video I went +5-2=1 with TC of 2+1. This converted me from ever playing the French Defense again.
This is the best chess channel, I kept myself focused on this video during all the time, and the best thing of all is that I'm training my english skills (I speak Portuguese) thanks for existing dude
Thankyou chesspage 1. Your're funny and instructive at the same time. I didn't find anything wrong with the music. I encourage you to always try new things tho 💯💯
i have found success in playing the sicilian, not the whole rabit hole of theory, just the basic moves, the caro kann and hopefully king's indian in the future...let's see what happens. like the comment so that i can update it occassionally.
Lol ! I loved this - the humour, the graphics and the mind boggling chess broken down into 3 logical steps. Great job - I'm still laughing and will replay this gem over and over 👏👏👏
This game was played between Wesely and Hikaru in 2015. Wesely was a strong opponent whose rating was 2779 ELO but Hikaru stormed him with 6 Brilliant moves resulting in a very centralized checkmate of the white king
As a beginner, I enjoyed this video. I wish you had elaborated more on what it means to be able to attack. (And I definitely prefer tutorials with no music--too distracting!) May God bless you for your work! :)
1:15 something he doesn’t add which he should’ve is that in this position your immediate next move after king recaptures should be Ng4 to fork the f2 pawn (which itself is a fork of the king and rook) and the e5 pawn. You can’t defend both and the best move for white is actually moving your king right back to where it was (lots of people will try to play bishop or pawn to f4 to try to save it, walks into the other fork lol). I’ve won a lot of nice games at low-mid Elo this way
Out of all the chess tutors I'd watched in YT, your the most entertaining one, you make your videos a bit funny and not plain boring lectures which is why I'd subscribe and watched your videos, hope you make more videos
What a good vid on openings. The only guy I know who speaks slang, still encouraging and makes opponents look dumb. I hope you continue making such videos sir😏😏🥶
Effing loved this video. The historical reference to 1793 was a killer! The added texts are gold. "haha im in danger" says the king only after crossing into enemy sides xD
I always struggled to find a solid and ejoyable opening with black. After trying out the King's Indian setup, my win ratio improved significantly and I had a lot of fun while using it. Thank you so much for this video! 😁
Hey brother , I have started playing chess 8 months ago & Thanks to you im really good with fried liver & caro can. Your videos are amazing. Love the content & hardwork. Im currently at 800, I plan to achieve 1000 before New Year.
I LOVE that there is no (horrible) music. Thank you! Of course, If you had played Dexter Gordon playing "Confirmation" (Kenny Drew on piano) I would have felt two ways about it .
music is good. Adds a dimension of light humor. Not sure it's needed because the narrative is moving at a brisk cadence. But if binge watching it would probably be welcome as a change in texture.
Been using the Kings Indian for 4 months now, thanks to this video. After watching this when it dropped, I watched more videos (some even about the Kings Indian Attack, it's a very real opening and it's fire). I really feel like my chess has been improving from it too boss, it's a really fun way to simply the position in a way you understand the board better than your opponent. Thank you for this, huge butterfly effect
I love your videos! You’re very informative and explain things in a very easy to understand way for beginners. Only thing I would say is have you ever thought about slowing the videos down? I watch these in .75x speed and even still all of the quick flashing from board to graphic to text to board to loud buzzing noise makes it really difficult to grasp the information being delivered sometimes. Might just be me though. Liked and subscribed all the same! Keep it up! :)
Subscribed. Because I don’t actually want to study and learn an opening; I want a few basic concepts to use to get the middle game without being in an atrocious position.
"This isn't real life, you can't just ignore problems" (6:57)
The genius sarcastic phrase! I'll remember it

Yes it's funny but in real life if you continue ignoring problems they will destroy you.
