I have been playing this without knowing it’s the Ruy Lopez. After I found out, I thought why not learn how to actually play it. So I watched some guides and didn’t understand anything besides memorizing a couple moves. For those who haven’t watched other guides: This guide is so easy, it’s insane.

I like how you give pieces "missions", it makes openings much MUCH more simple and helped me to learn the Caro Kann. Thanks for putting out videos like this: keep it up!
Man used tts and was still more captivating and educational than like 99% of other chess channels.
in my opinion, your style of explaining openings and such is outstanding. the topic is explained thoroughly and well, the visuals and scenarios you give make it so much easier to understand, and to be honest the overall way it's taught makes it a cakewalk for anyone (even people who literally started like 3 days ago (and i know this because this person is literally me)) to learn it with little to no difficulty. and this goes for practically all of your videos which is why i like all of them, much love. keep it up. :)

Update! My first attempt failed. Re-watched the video. Used this video to smash my opponents!
Possibly the best chess instructional content on KZread, love the amount you can pack into your short videos. Earned a sub.
I literally started learning the Ruy Lopez 2 days ago and now this has been released! This guy is a legend
To add to the praise of all the others, thank you so much. Actually explaining the “missions” of the pieces is something I’ve never seen anyone do, and means that I actually understand how to use the opening, especially in my 700 elo where the other player will often make a mistake and I don’t know how to punish it. Thanks to your previous video, I’m already dominating with black with the Caro-Kann, raising my elo and having a blast. Keep it up mate!

This is brilliant. The only chess videos that look at the bigger picture and actually teach you something in a fun, easy way to understand. Hoping for more! Thank you!
i love this guy, bro has the perfect edits and everything to engage someone. literally salute to u bro!
I'm a d4 player so I won't use this opening, but the explanation of openings around pieces having missions is so much easier and more intuitive than "memorise these fifty lines", you teach a lot better than most resources I've seen
Center: at 1:17 Knight + bishop: from 1:55 to 2:57 rook: from 3:20 to 4:30 pawns: 4:40 to 5:10

Commenting for the algorithm, love what you’re doing here! The channel growth is already so good, hope you blow up even more! You definitely deserve it with all the work you put into your videos.
God tier channel. I'd never got into chess theory because it seemed so daunting, as you showed in the beggining, but thanks to you I understand all the things that the openings intend. Thank you
I love this opening but the guides I've found weret too complex for me and you made it simple and understandable! Thank you so much!
Your commentary and editing is awesome! Watching this was so entertaining 🤣🤣 also super informative and helpful! Thank you!
your videos are so well edited, i absolutely love the information delivery too
This is actually the best guide I’ve seen, even the caro guide was top tier, explaining the missions of each piece is so much more helpful, but I’m BEGGING YOU, please do Sicilian one day 🙏🏼

And even more important: how to counter it
Well, this is absolutely brilliant. I bet even more chess openings can be explained as giving pieces a mission and then patiently letting them complete that mission.
I've played chess in my school years casually and then got busy with life, now in late 20s. Your channel is awesome, stumbled upon one video in recommendation, I watched many of them and now might begin playing chess again.. Subscribed.
I enjoy your funny regular content but you are really good making these more instructional videos too. You made one of the most complex opening to look simple and easy to understand with "missions" and general game plan. I really hope that se will see more content like this on future! Maybe solid opening as a black against D4?
This guy makes complicated openings into things all players can understand, and make some pretty good edits too. Keep it up my guy
Hands down, this is the best flipping chess teaching video I ever saw in three years. I absolutely love your channel and videos. Keep it up!
Your videos made me love chess again. Please, keep it up! This was awesome
This guide is amzing and got an easy explanation
Thank you for your videos! I love your humor in the videos!!
Actual good, I could learn a complicated opening in a 15 minute video !!
This is a top tier way if explaining openings. Make more. I will watch all
I spend my live on YT and this channel is gold! You found the perfect way to keep the video interesting, engaging, entertaining and easy to follow! So refreshing! Thank you :)
This is a phenomenal guide. I hope you plan to do more in future! I'd love one covering the Scotch Game or King's Gambit, but from this video I'm sure whatever you put out will be immensely helpful.
My god, i love your vids! Thank you for creating.
The music is literally GOLD in this super fun yet helpful video LOL. Thanks a lot!!

what's the name ?
First channel I have ever subscribed to. This video and took me from an inexperienced player to 875 elo. My brain resonates with the idea of jobs and roles for each piece instead of memorizing lines. Thank you so much!
I’ve never watched a chess video on KZread in my life and here I am subbing. These are incredibly entertaining and I think I might try Chess again.
Your videos are awesome.. The amateurs need such content. Thanks ❤
Finally found a channel that addresses the fundamental tactics instead of just sequencing a hundred move variations. Great format, new sub.
I’m extremely low Elo. Basically a beginner. Your videos have helped me so much. In my last 14 matches I’m 12-1-1.
Honestly absolute amazing deconstruction and simplification of the ruy lopez opening. Very respectable work you are doing here.
What a great video, I'm glad I found your channel
Im too much of a caveman for this i still dont get it
This is the best chess channel ever 😂.. So funny and educative... The commentary and bg sound or the teaching style... I really don't know which to love best ❤... You're great bro. Keep it up
Love the breakdown by individual pieces' missions
A great and incredibly simple video once again! Keep up the good work buddy👏🤝🏼
This channel is gold. This was a really good ruy Lopez video.
The editing is out of this world. Very entertaining!
Bruh one of shortest and best among all videos wohh learn more than i could from learning them separately amazing 👏 u gain one more subscriber. We would really want to learn most of the end games or middle games concepts from u in one video please 🙏 that would be really amazing
I really love your work, thank you !
Thank you for sharing your knowledge , I'm still in my early stages of learning chess and this channel is 👍
Just wanna say. Teaching in terms of piece objectives or “their mission” is amazing. Ty!
this is better than any chessable course on the topic. Great video! Please do more openings next!
This guide is amazingly good and easy to understand, I love it
Never seen this strategy explain with such simplicity. Good job
Your videos are fun to watch! Entertaining and educative.
This is so phenomenal.....Simple yet subtle...
The editing is so funny and it helps keep me focused on the video, thank you for the effort to input humour while keeping the teaching simple and effective! Am I new player and this video really helps me remember the moves fast :>
Finally, the video is coming out
Excellent educational video, many thanks!!!
I just want to acknowledge that your approach to unpacking these openings is really well done. To draw an analogy, it pains me the way music is often taught in a convoluted "memorize this" way and I'm still looking for the same boiled-down approach in that sphere. Often teachers will tangle you up in overcomplicating things for the sake of giving themselves more work. There are many bs teachers like that in the chess sphere just like in music. Your videos are really popular because they're actually helpful. Thanks.
I've been playing this since i started playing chess, i didn't even know its ruy lopez
Very beautifully explained the complex opening to end
goated chess youtuber you helped me alot during my time representing my school
fantastic vid as always
the greatest style of chess teaching. thank you
Just found your channel. As a beginner chess player, this is insanely addictive and makes so much sense!
Finally. Two weeks later..
ur vids are amazing man keep doing what ur doing
I am so lucky I found your channel. I guess all the players lost to the other guides will eventually stumble upon these gems of videos. Thank you very much, respect from INDIA Also I want to mention : 1. The music used is so amazing. While I was watching VFX artist reacts, I think someone said there when they were doing Oppenhiemer Review that great music is when you dont pay attention to music but you can feel it. I can feel the buildup 2.Then the voice even though automated somehow delivers the imapct! The script is amazing! Thank you again
Have watched a couple of Gotham Chess videos but this video really simplifies the opening very good!!
Okay 10/10. Now just apply this exquisite way of explaining to all my favourite openings. Here is a list: - Caro Kann - Four knights scotch I dont have anything else. kthanksbyeloveu

Continue to make videos like this, this is very educational, I got to 1700 rating playing the Ruy Lopez and I know that I would've wanted videos like this when learning my openings. Actually understanding an opening and explained simply at that instead of a long list of variations to memorize just to play like a robot. I'm sure if you keep creating videos in this style that alot of people would benefit from it.

This is the best explanation of the Ruy Lopez on here, period. Please do the Petrov and the Italian next!!
Thank you so much, this will help me alot in my upcoming chess competition.
I have been playing the Ruy Lopez my whole life, and it's pretty much how I conceptualize it. The Ruy "storyline" is very easy to follow once you know the key ideas... Awesome video 👍, that's the vid I will recomment to people saying the Ruy is too complicated... (...hi there Levy!...)
I have been reading books on different aspect of the game and I must say, as beginner, one of the most difficult parts of the game is to learn basic ideas behind openings. Most guides say just develop or memorize lines, but the truth is that those variations result from responses to the basic idea and as you mentioned there is no point on memorizing moves you can’t understand without getting the concepts behind certain opening. Great video
2nd commentary cause it's worth it, bro the more I watch the more I love your editing and humor! + you actually show some brain by the opponent
Doing an opening video on THE SPANISH, one of the most complicated and theory full openings ever. Very brave, much respect
Keep posting we love ur video ❤❤
you have sparked an interest in chess in me like no other. i've never played chess in my life and have been a blank canvas
This is Insane! The best guide i have ever seen.
Holy shit, this is amazing. Thanks a lot for this guide, please keep it up! I’ve been enjoying your Caro-Kann video a lot, time to improve as white as well!
I love how this is both fun and educational
oioh we were waiting for this video!
