Benefits of Playing Chess:
- Promotes brain growth
– Increases problem-solving skills

– Improves recovery from stroke or disability
– Helps treat ADHD
Chess is an intellectual battle where players are exposed to numerous mental processes such as analysis, attention to detail, synthesis, concentration, planning and foresight. Psychological factors are also present on and off the board; playing Chess stimulates our imagination and creativity. Every single move a player makes is the result of a deep analysis based on the elements presented on the battle field.
Chess in its essence teaches us psychological, sociological and even moral values. In a Chess game, both players start with the same amount of material and time. The fact that the white pieces move first is considered to be practically irrelevant —especially because a player typically plays one game as white and one game as black. Consequently, the final result of the battle solely depends on each player. It doesn’t matter if you win by taking advantage of your opponent’s mistakes or by simply avoiding mistakes yourself. Truth is that Chess is an extremely individual sport and our defeats can only be blamed on ourselves and no one else. And this, in the end, only benefits us because we learn to be and feel responsible for our actions and never come up with excuses to justify ourselves.
We also learn that when it comes to our victories on the board, our opponent’s mistakes play a more significant role than our own skills. Let’s not forget that a Chess game without any mistakes would be a draw. This way, Chess provides us with another valuable life lesson: be humble at all times.

#11 : done
I use to play chess when I was a child. I liked it but couldn't pursue it. I want to become a pro now I am no longer in touch with the game. Can I become a pro if I start now I am 22 year old as of now 🤔
Hi a question about the puzzle at 5:10 – would it be correct to say that if the bishop moves to any other square than d4 then it is a stalemate?
Why so many people call Rock a Rook?
At 5:07 It was a forced mate.
At 5:41. Is that stalemate without the knight moving?
I'm really enjoying this. Thanks a lot for the hard work❤️❤️
In the 13:30 Scenario, I think King to E2 would be better? idk maybe? lmk

3:45 Qb7# is also a mate in one move
Wouldn't 5:48 be stalemale before the knight could move?
13:20 theres not chech mate, horse can take bishop
Very nice exercises for today’s class. Thank you
I always loved chess. However Iife, responsibilities and lack of interested people influenced my decision to stop thirty years ago.
Your videos have stimulated my interest!
I am deprogramming myself by selecting you to be my educator.
Thank you for all you have provided! You really are the catalyst that has firmly renewed my interest.
My goal is to be knowledgeable, a solid player and in four years be rated 2000.
Nice lesson
