I’m pretty terrible at the endgame so this was very helpful and informative
Amazing vid
This is my new favorite chess channel. You're not only a great player and teacher but your vibe is perfect. I like to relax and play before and this is perfect content for my hobby.
This dude is great
Hi gauri I used to struggle to understand that what limited my chess learning where I was struck at one point and now you gave me the clarity how to approach the game thanks..
And also love your youtube shorts..
This was a fantastic video!!! All the puzzles were amazing but the last one just blew me away with how many squares the knight was really covering. 🤯 It’s no wonder the knight is so tricky! You’re such a great teacher Gauri 🙂 I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, you’re one of my newest favourite chess influencers. Your authentic style with delivering these great lessons and even watching you play your games is a welcome edu-tainment!
En passant??
The way you talk through the puzzles makes it so easy to understand them and most importantly be able to find them ourselves next time
this is amazing dude, I love it
you are really cool❤
Just found out about your Chanel through shorts
Great content, keep up the good work
Hey, I havent played chess since high school. You randomly popped up in my feed. I was like "I think I know this guy". Then saw you are from Chicago. Haha I played 2nd chair my senior year next to you! GBS! Hope all is well. Good luck with everything!
I didnt fully solved any of these but i learned a lot. That last puzzle looks a bit like the Townes vs Harmon game in the Queens Gambit (kentucky championship) with the idea of a king and knight covering enough squares to trap a rook
Thank u
you’re a great teacher! subscribed!
Awesome and helpful, thanks you so much
I didn't realise how much of my moves were hope chess. Definitely something I'll think about now:)
I’ve just discovered your channel and I must say it’s entertaining and educational, so thanks
One of if not the best educational chess video I’ve watched
1500 USCF and this was really helpful. Thank you. Also I love the term hope chess
3:26 can’t white take en passant ?
Conclusion: Understand your goal in the position! Be logical. Search for ideas for your win. Meanwhile use your computer-like part of your brain and look for forcing moves to reach your goal
There are literally some people that suggested en passant
W vid
Hello Gauri, I worked on the same study a few years ago and I remembered an incredible solution involving stalemate. Now I know what's missing, the white king should be on d8, giving Black the b8 square when b6 is played. Then when White promotes, Black also promotes and you can't take the queen. The only move then is Qg8!! and there is nothing Black can do. If Qe8?, Qg7!, blocking the king. If Qf8? , Qa3! is a draw.
Why there is no en passant in minute 3:38 ?? 🤔
Hey Gauri, just wanted to say your videos are great, the puzzles are super instructive. If you’re having a hard time with them, don’t give up! Taking a while to think these sort of problems through can really make you a good chess player. Right now, it may seem very hard, but it’s mostly just ideas and pattern recognition, and like Gauri said, being able to piece together your ideas and your calculation. You can do this!!!
On second puzzle can you sacrifice the rook on e6, opponent takes and then you queen.
Great video , puzzles are beautiful like your voice ,huge respect for this man 🙏
OMG the coolest way you explain chess..
A doubt sir,
Puzzle 1 : why can’t white play en passant after black plays B5?
To everyone confused, regarding en passant in the first puzzle, it's crucial to note that executing this move on the 7th rank, while you're positioned on the 6th rank, isn't possible. To better clarify, you must be on the 5th rank as White or the 4th rank as Black to successfully perform this maneuver.
I Love this guy
16:36 two worst enemies working together
R u from india 🇮🇳?
Wish I could play these moves in games
Your video is so underrated! I appreciate all your good work and shared it with my chess friends 🙂
7:47 why didn’t he go ka6?
3:32 white can do enpassant and win the game easily
3:15 en passnt man??
3:27 can’t white capture the black pawn via en passant?
We're really enjoying your videos so much. Right to the point with clear explanations.
20:27 well, not really e6 because if the rook was on e6, that would be check and the K would have taken it
You doing a great job. ..gauri❤❤❤❤ luv u
Excellent… ❤ These type of videos are enough to improve chess skills
Great content in chess! I would like to play with you and have your feedback about my knowledge in chess and help me improve my chess tactical skills
Wow
Man why didn't you told us about impessant
@3:19 after b5, en-possiant is immediately losing for black right?
Sir how can I calculate moves without any mobile or computer in tournaments??
