He's just extremely slow and talky and then he slips little gems here and there so you can't even scroll or you'll miss them
I'm not proud to say this, but a few years back I had a drug addiction. One day I was meeting my dealer down a dark alleyway, as I did every week. We made the trade, and I began my journey back home. It was then when I heard sirens in the distance. Naturally, I picked up the pace, but the sirens steadily got closer. Eventually I could hear the car at the end of the street, and started running. When I glanced backwards I saw Eric Hansen screaming "I need some speed" whilst Aman Hambleton played a techno song I had mistaken for sirens. They caught up to me quickly, and Hansen grabbed a hockey stick and whipped it across my ankles. I fell to the ground in pain, but quickly tried to get up. Hansen jumped on me, stopping my escape, shouting "That's not a move chief!". The chessbrahs took my wallet, phone and drugs, and left me tied up, bruised and sore on the side of the street. Don't support these guys.

Based on Dan's behavior, I think he would prefer Ben Finegold to be his teacher. Yasser is very kind and patient, Ben would just roast him the entire time.

Chessbrah needs more content like this. I've played chess for years and this 20 minutes taught me basics and fundamentals I've never learned. Most instructors teach "put this here" and "put that there". But never explain why. This showed me why space control matters and why the value of the pieces are what they are. It also shows me what a "bishop from hell" or "best knight in history" means. Thanks, Yasser!

Yasser is a goat, he started playing when he was like 12, and STILL BECAME GM. That’s amazing to me.
I learned the basics of Chess from a youtube video of Yasser teaching children a few years ago. Just the basics got me to 1400, one day I'll learn one of them openings with Yasser and the sky will be the limit!

This is the best content I have ever seen in chess for beginners, thank you
I've never heard this explanation before, fascinating! Yasser is an amazing addition to Chessbrahs!
Fantastic lesson, can't thank you enough for putting out this content!! And for Yasser: Thank you so much for taking your time to explain to us this beautiful game :D
This is the absolute best. So much insight into space control. Please keep this going. More of Yasser teaching.
There are some people who are so smart that when they talk, it makes you feel dumb for how little you know. Yasser is one of those geniuses that makes you feel smarter after hearing him talk.
This Dan guy is not showing the proper respect to this legend

Amazing lesson! Great work from Yasser, so much kindness coming out of him.
Wow, amazing lesson! More please
Goated thumbnail for such an instructive and helpful fundamental lesson. I’ll look back on this video when I try teaching anyone chess in the future.

I just started playing and find this incredibly valuable! Thanks Yas!!
One of the best videos! thanks for sharing
Found this clip referenced in a beginner chess forum thread. Led me here and now it looks like I’m headed towards a Seirawan video binge. Great simple instruction. 👍🏼
Fantastic video. More Yasser lessons please!
That was great! Thanks
Yasser is an amazing teacher. Thank you Yass!
More of these videos please!
Nice! The extra point for the queen because of the perpetual check was a little strange tho imo. Its a VERY powerful thing ofc but why would that count as 1 material point? I've heard the explanaiton before that the Queen acts as a rook and bishop combined. Which should be 8. But the Queen can change from black to white squares which a bishop cant. So the Queen can operate on different colour diagonals. Therefore the Queen is slightly more powerful then a combined rook and bishop. So its worth 9 instead of 8.

A rook is 5 because a supercomputer calculated if pawn=1 point, a rook is even against 5 pawns

@@edbunkers4516 The value is a traditional heuristic knowledge from times when no computers were used to analyze chess, the less any supercomputers. Humans were. To be true, I learned queen as worth 10. For beginners, they probably are.

It is an interesting argument! I would tend to agree with you. The "combinationality" is definitely also a factor. The reason why queen is 9 while two rooks 10 is said that the queen cannot protect itself while one rook can protect the another. Hence in the endgame two rooks tend to eat pawns more easily then the single queen. I also had an idea how to "improve" or "innovate" the chess. By letting bishops change the color. Eg. one step left or right would be added to common bishop moves. Though, it would ruin the chess knowledge. Still interesting as the experiment.
Nice going Dan!! Keep it up!!
The most instructive chess video i've ever seen. Play chess for 20 years and i've never been exposed to these concept and believe me, i am a learning machin. Thank you for the content you guy, Dan and Yasser also to the Chessbrah gang you guys are great.

In conclusion, the queen is clutch.

Good stuff, but isn't mobility also a factor when determining the piece values?
@yewchoobes
2 жыл бұрын
Yes, that's why two rooks (5 each) are worth more than one queen (9): the rook is faster than the queen as it's a bit lighter to pick up so you end up saving time on the clock, which could win you the game.

@@yewchoobes That's always been conventional wisdom. I think engines are now giving the edge to the queen with perfect play in most positions. (yes, I realize you're making the joke - just thought I'd toss that in anyway).
The bishop can control 7 squares, compared to knights 6 squares, AND it can also change the side of the board faster, when intercepting or supporting pawns. BUT, the knight can support or block both colours of squares, when the pawn is promoting. AND the knight forks are tricky in blitz.
But what about knife f 5?
I don't understand why the knight on d6 only attacks 6 squares. What about the other two on the white side?
