It is very funny that it started with a chess items from Persia and tried to tell stories about invention in India ( without any evidence) and make stories about playing chess in England. Don't you think the main part of it which is Persian chess is missing?😅😅
From Thailand. I love this kind of dance. I appreciate your beautiful culture. You teach wonderfully. I can learn and dance according to this teaching. Wow! Made me realize that people with small bottoms can dance like this🤣 (LOI). You are the best teacher. Love you so much.
About the red vs black pieces: In Alice in Wonderland (or behind the mirrrors?) there is the Red Queen; could it be that Lewis Caroll took his inspiration from the Lewis chess set?
Mwebale nyo mwebale watching from uk. Njagala okuyinga nga nzize mu vacation tekako endagiriro. Thank you 🥰 ❤

"What change would you make?" Un-Castling, which would allow you to reverse a castling move back to their original positions.
25:36 Irving you dirty dawg :)
When I was a boy (I am a few years older than Dr. Finkel) I could never win, or even compete with, my elder brother at chess--so I gave it up as a lost cause. There was a time when I had someone with whom to play Go--the East Asian board game--and that was very interesting, but after several years we went our different ways.
Excellent. Music belongs to Africa.
There's no luck😏try playing with black to start the match🥴🥴
26:00 The King is the most important piece. A king acts through his agents; he does not do everything in his realm or on his battlefied personally - what point then of an army? I don't agree with Dr Finkle's description of the tired shy king here. Even on the battlefield the king has of course an honour guard with him. The queen's upgrade however has many more influences that I would assume some polite chap like Dr Finkle wouldn't dare say directly to a woman, especially such a friendly one. The new rule or version was also known as the "Mad Queen's Chess" which is the version we mainly play today. The "mad queen" is a hysterical woman, or in a friendlier interpretation projecting the reach of her own games of intrigue. The meanest interpretation would be that in order to get the women interested in the game, one would appeal to their narcissism and make the piece representing them some all powerful Mary Sue who could do everything compared to everyone else. A cruel power fantasy so to say. Something we see in today's badly written media quite a lot, and hopefully dying down soon again. - The mentioned TV show "The Queen's Gambit" is similarly such a power fantasy appealing to just that, for there is no historical precedent for what happens in the show. It is a mere fantasy of a "strong women" outdoing all the men in what they're great at. Narcissism is of course not a solely female thing, but this is an expression of it. As Dr Finkle said himself, I would have enjoyed more women to play with as well, but alas barely any are interested in such games. Be it chess, shogi, go or the like. More colourful and less abstract boardgames, like Archipelago, or with even more social aspects in the game's narrative changes that a bit.
hooligans attacked Irving Finkel. they get... enougt knowledge to pass exams in harvard...

You are all wonderful!!! I accidentally found a short video about the Kiganda dance. I had never seen such beauty, such joy and strength!!! And your teacher is an amazing woman and professional!!! Thank you for showing me a world where man is part of the forces of Nature, of Earth, of Air, of Water, of Fire, thank you for this part of the history of your wonderful people, it is so beautiful, so real. ...God bless you! With all my heart I wish you the greatest happiness !!! Greetings from Bulgaria ! :)❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤍❤
Oh my God
I hope someone is filming Dr Finkel every day. What a treasure he is to the human race!
From Detroit Michigan. This was wonderful to see and understand. Thank you. Please do more videos❤
Vietnamese chess, a real thing, is very interesting. I bought a Vietnamese chess set at a Vietnamese market in Dallas in the early 1980's and played Vietnamese chess with my Vietnamese immigrant colleagues.
The Harry Potter story made me recall that wonderful scene in the Thomas Crown affair, where the lead actress exotically caresses the smooth dome head of her bishop, whilst emphasising her ploy with her foot under the table.
Chess for me, is the temporary psychological domination of one over another. The advantage being that the domination being only temporary. The representation of the pieces for best effect, need to be recognised not from looking but from scanning. The difference between listening and hearing if you like.

wonderful
Bakisimba Nankassa muwogola, it’s a royal dance
Waaaaw this class has been so edu-tainment and well explained. For the first time I have learnt the meaning of the drums 🥁, sound & the dance strokes in relation to my culture. You made me feel and love my roots
White pieces were ivory; green pieces probably originated as jade.
Well-done madam Namakula Amina for preserving the Buganda Culture ❤❤
I love that people developed themselves while essential personnel just worked around the clock, I feel no different than prior to covd19, actually I do feel a bit more poor. 😭😭
👏👏👏 BIG UP TEACHER!!!
Carcassonne is not a game of Indian origin.
Ah. Irving the White. A pleasure again.
Dr. Finkel's presentations are always fascinating and entertaining.
This is a very good interview. Thankyou.
Love this video
Concerning, the origin of the Knight move, one theory that I have read is that a very early version of the game had a 5x5 board. Place a Rook and a Bishopv(which in early forms of chess only moved in a checker-like diagonal hopping move), and these two pieces cover all the squares of the 5x5 board Except for the oblique 8 oblique squares. The knight move was (in this theory) invented to cover these 8 squares and no others.
hoping there's another great book in ms lasley she nailed aberdeen COYR
