JerryCricket Gaming and Chess
JerryCricket Gaming and Chess
I got into Chess in October of 2023, so I'm an active student of Chess. Besides that, I kind of just play whatever catches my eye. Settlers of Catan and all its expansions and Hearts are games I'm okay at. If you've interacted with me online, you'll probably see Jerry The Cricket, Cricket Singer, Jerry Cricket, Cricket of Crickets, or JerryCricket. You'll see a lot of random games in the backlog of this channel, but as of now, I'm just uploading videos on chess and occasional rants about other games I play or have played.
Funny story: I got my glasses because I played too much Doom one summer in Chicago as a little kid. Boy have game graphics evolved!
I had a childhood family friend who was a chess champion. After reconnecting with him many years later, I realized that I wanted to learn. You can add me on any chess site as jerrycricket if you want to play me, but I honestly enjoy the physical board and in-person chess way more.

I learned how to stream with Zoom, so I might stream some chess games that I play on Lichess soon! Stay tuned!
I could never get my head around the King’s Gambit, so I play a lot of Queen’s Gambit, and have recently begun (trying) to play the Evan’s Gambit. Love how you turned this game around!
Yeah, I’m going to learn the Evan’s Gambit soon! How’s that going?
@@JerryCricketGaming the Evan’s Gambit is quite fun when your opponent allows it, and when I can get into it, I find myself pretty well off. The problem I have is when my opponent plays something like the Caro or Scandinavian defense, and I have to throw half of my plans out the window
@@lilcrystalboi5178 I see! I just learned a cool trick against certain Caro plays yesterday. I'll see if it ever comes up in games. Scandinavian is always interesting. I know someone who only plays that XDDD Keep me posted on the Evan's Gambit! I got to work on other channels this next week, but I'll post more updates on this channel soon!
Those of you wondering why my king was in the center: part of what this opponent played prevented me from castling. He sacrificed a lot of pieces to keep my king central and my rooks undeveloped. He really messed me up in opening and most of midgame. However, the game ended epically in my favor!
keep the grind steady man
Thanks!
I played another game recently where I made two "brilliant" moves, according to the computer. However, I didn't actually capitalize on them well, so they weren't actually brilliant, but if I get a request to show them, then I will XDD
good shit man , keep grinding and you will get to that 1000 elo rating very soon !
Thanks! I'm studying the French defense right now because someone played that against me. How's your chess journey going?
@@JerryCricketGaming not too good , not gonna lie lol , its just that i haven't played in a while so my rating took a big hit but little by little il learn again hopefully :)
@@justaguy-n7r Cool! Keep me posted what you learn! I have some cool videos coming up. Certain mating patterns that I stumbled on randomly make for some cool explorations! Stay tuned!
A lot more to come! I might do the Pirc Defense in the future as I study and learn more about chess, so I'm sure we'll get into Pirc Defense shenanigans in the future XDD
Traxler
Yep! Other people were saying this in the comment section, so I went on a binge of Traxler videos after making this. So much to learn! Now that I know what this defense is, I’m sure I’ll be even more prepared next time! But I do not fear the fried liver anymore 😎😎
Traxler counter attack my beloved
I’ll look that up
So many cool xiangqi videos I will make for you guys soon! Stay tuned!
yes punish those early game cheese!
I finally learned 😝 for the past before this spontaneous attempt to change the outcome, i would always panic when i saw a fried liver coming 😜😝 How do you deal with Fried Liver?
@@JerryCricketGaming A move I learned from Chess Vibes, when white moves Ng5, you do pawn d5, attacking the bishop. They take with their pawn first cause bishop is part of the attack and they can't lose it, then you gallop your right side Nd4, and white here commonly pushes the pawn d6 to open up the bishop line again. Take pawn with queen, opponent follows through with Nf6, slide Qc6 "attacking the bishop", knight takes rook h8, surprise attack! Qg2 now threatening their rook! So Rf1, check w/Qe4, and most people protect with bishop instead of queen, but that's checkmate with Nf3
@@KovoN wow! I got to check that out! Thanks!
@@KovoNcould you check the notation and make sure it’s correct. I tried on a board,but it didn’t play out correctly.
Never mind. I figured it out! Thanks!
Wait no way you got into chess what? I thought you looked familiar but weren't you the chinese dating show cringe moments guy several years back?
Yeah. Those shows cringe me out too much. No more of those for now. Welcome to my gaming channel!
sheeeeeesh thats NASTY
So now fried liver doesnt scare me any more.
I'm studying Vancura, Lucena, and Phillidor positions, so I will eventually make a video on those! Keep you guys posted!
Ty for this video
i got a brilliant too, rook sac, apparently it won me a knight but bcuz of suboptimal low elo play i won a rook instead and mated soon after
Well, you made it work, so that's what matters. We'll all get to high elo's eventually. As of now, we just celebrate whatever wins we can get as we keep learning. Thanks for commenting!
great!!
Thanks!
Good stuff man! I hope you feel awesome about getting that brilliant. It really turned that game into an easy win
Thanks! I got two more videos coming this week. I hurt my wrist, so I've been playing more angry than before. It's made my games super entertaining. Stay tuned and remember to press the bell button!
got a brilliant move when i quit chess..!!
That's funny ;) Sometimes, our minds need a break! I take so many breaks now!
The only brilliant move lol
nice man
Thanks for tuning in!
Wheres the pawns
Im making a follow up video soon to talk about pawns and how to record movement.
Check,check checkmate
Before studying openings and in particular opening traps I would suggest studying through basic endgames, and chess tactics. The opening is probably one of the least important parts of the game to study(The main thing with openings is to know the why behind them. Why each move is played how it is and what that get's you. This helps you understand strategy better.)
Absolutely! I love endgames! That’s what got me into chess!
Imagine playing a 1 hour classical game and then losing by a dumb checkmate after spending only 15 seconds of your time
One of the things that always makes me mad is when it's 30 minutes in and THEN I blunder. Then I'm like, "I WASTED ALL THAT TIME TO A STUPID MISTAKE." XDD
Nice vid
Thank you! So much to learn, but I will definitely continue documenting the journey!
Bro.... you need to be at least 1700 rating. No one is gonna learn anything from watching an 800 vs a 500. lol. Great effort though.
I'm just a beginner documenting my journey. Go play chess or go outside. Better yet, make some content!
@@JerryCricketGaming good idea. I'll do all 3. Thanks dude!
Any updates? I really hope you make some chess videos! I just started playing again today!!
@@JerryCricketGaming well.... I can tell you this. I definitely played a lot of chess and I definitely went outside a lot, and content creation went tits up. To be honest though, I had no intention of making any chess content. It would be something else.
@@asdfgoogle Have you ever played Xiangqi (Chinese Chess)? It's such an interesting mental exercise because of the different board and different rules. If you haven't tried Xiangqi, I highly recommend it.
I find your voice very malnourished
I got my braces off a few months ago so I’m still learning to talk normally. I’ll get there!
@@JerryCricketGaming keep it up king!
🔥🔥🔥
Breakdown of Beth Harmon's game against Townes to come!
Also, Beltik’s actor was Dudley in the Harry Potter movie series!
For the initial position of the queens, I first learned that they go on the same colored square. So flip the board with the white square in the bottom right corner, white queen goes on white square, opposite the king, black queen black square. Although "queen likes the d" is definitely more memorable LOL!
It actually aint checkmate though until the queen interposes. Unless they resign(Which would be winning by resignation not checkmate), They do not win there. If there is a legal move to stop a check, even if it delays the inevitable, it has to be played, unless they resign on it. So the checkmate is the mate that happens after the queen interposes and the other queen takes. In Fact the queen interposing is forced.
I love the video as much as the Queen loves😊 that D (square)
Glad you like that memory technique. So many people don't set up the board correctly, so this will definitely help. Even if you accidentally put the wrong color square in the corner, at least the queen will be correct with the king.
beginner as well and trying to learn on my own as much as possible, cool seeing other getting into it as well 😮
Right on! Keep me posted on your progress. It's much more phone to play people in person. That's what got me back into it after I took a little break.
Jontron "wHaT" Killed me😂😂
HAHAAH ;) So that guy's name is Jontron?
@@JerryCricketGaming yes haha
@@martialgeeksfinally I found out his name! Seen him used as a meme for years!
@@JerryCricketGaming lol😅 I mean the meme got more famous than his channel, he's still a big og youtube reviewer, but when a meme grows large, it becomes unstoppable haha
An important detail I forgot to say at 1:38, remember that the numbers of the ranks (rows) also don't transpose. So the numbers always go from 1 to 8 starting on the white side! Very important to remember that if you're playing black. So, for example, if you were playing black and wanted to think about the pieces using algebraic notation: going from your left to right on the backrank--h8 rook; g8 knight, f8 dark-squared bishop, e8 king, d8 queen, c8 light-squared bishop, b8 knight, a8 rook. My video doesn't cover how to notate movement, captures, or checks, so I might do another video on that if there is a demand for that!
Love the board! Sick colors!!
I’m going to watch another episode of Queen’s Gambit soon! So more Queen’s Gambit show analysis soon!
good vid, jerry
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed this breakdown!
I resisted watching the show for a while, but I'm really enjoying it, so looks like we'll have more analyses to come about The Queen's Gambit Netflix show ;) 0:18 Also, you open your queen diagonal too when you do the king's pawn opening. I forgot to say that.
Yea lol. I’m on this channel for relaxing and entering stuff to make me feel better for sleep! Thank you Jerry! : )
Haha “How to embarrass yourself 101🤦🏻” Lol. If this was like an hour long, it would be way peaceful and entertaining to fall asleep to. You need to have Jerry Gaming for Bedtime channel. The no music and fun relaxing talking is perfect
Good idea
8:40 Your horse should have gone to the front of your cannon. But, yeah, that was a fast game. 9:56 將軍揪車
東坡棋呢
Thanks again for this Jerry, this was so much fun and hilarious when we started speeding with unga bunga tactics 😂😂😂
Thanks for inviting me to all of these cool things! 🙏💪🥊🤓
You're the man! Hopefully Xiangqi Online can see all the value we bring and maybe I can work for them part time ;)
Tomas will be back! Copy and paste this link if you want to play us: bit.ly/3v6PQpU
Have you ever tried Faster Than Light? It's an amazing little scifi game, very intuitive and yet complex, I think you'd love it🤔👌
I’ll check it out soon! Also, I’ll be ready in 20 minutes to show you some Xiangqi!
@@JerryCricketGaming oooh epic, though I wasn't sure about the timezone stuff, I'm off to training, here it's 8:00pm, I'm training at 8:30, how long will you play?
@@martialgeeks Perfect. I'll wait until you finish training. Works out. I left you my whatsapp on IG, so just let me know when you get back. I'll edit a quick video in the meantime ;)
