Benefits of Playing Chess:
- Promotes brain growth
– Increases problem-solving skills
– It exercises both sides of the brain
– Raises your IQ
– Sparks your creativity
– Teaches planning and foresight
– Teaches patience and concentration
– Optimizes memory improvement
– 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.

Why Isn't it a stalemate before moving the knight?
It is because the king cannot move anywhere but it is not attacked…

My grandchildren are in chess club and love it. All I knew was how each piece moved. I’m up to chapter 11 and so much more makes sense. Thank you for the incredible lessons and calm interesting way you present them. What a gift you have given to all of us who are interested. All that work and for free!!!!! I appreciate your love of this game which you have passed on to many others including myself. As I grow older I will still have a way to be able to entertain the kids. THANK YOU.
@NMRobertRamirez In the first exercise I did rook g6 and it worked in my mind can you tell me why it doesn't work here?
And also in the second one i did queen e8
You are a good and well trained teacher Robert .🌷🙏👌
Been loving watching and learning from your videos. Thanks.
This was fun and very helpful. Thanks for the great lesson.
this is the first time I reached this level in understanding Chess, Thank you
I have a question, I am doing your Czeck pirc but I am I get crushed on the pawn push on the king side. How can one stop this. Help
Very good material, I started to play again a few months ago and decided to come to the very basic because the way you explain this is awesome!
We can do a castle at 13.48mins.
I caught your recent interview with Ben Johnson on the Perpetual Chess Podcast. I have seen your videos on YouTube, but never investigated your channel. So I decided to check it out, and from what I've seen so far, I really enjoy it! As an adult who has been trying to improve my chess, your channel is an answer to my prayers! I really enjoy how you walk through everything step by step, in a way that an old man like me can understand. We 3 kids the time and money for a coach just isn't in the cards right now. And your course is just what I'm looking for! Keep it up!!
Should i make notes to revise and practice different gambits and tactics and mastering as many as i could?
got all!
15:37 knight takes queen, its not a check mate

On 16:56, Black Kd5 would capture the white bishop
I guessed all but the second last took time. Take my words, sir is the best instructor you will find. Just like that special Kohinoor Diamond. Thank you sir for giving these lessons for free.
Lesson 10. Thank you so much for simplify chess for me.
Hi , your videos are interesting thanks… Just have a question I noticed the white king is in check by the pawn you should not be able to move your Tower? Unless I am confused 🤔

12/350 (30/9/2023)
at 14:08 you forgot to mention pawn at g2 helping to protect the knight on f3 otherwise king could capture knight while running away
I cant tell how immensely helpful ur videos have helped me.
I was an intermediate level but i decided start from lesson one and i tell u. Really helpful.
I am sorry but there is something bothering me. In the last position he talked about there was a knight that can kill the bishop which makes this situation NOT a checkmate. If anyone can explain to me or agree with me cause this is driving me crazy 🤔😬
👍
Really great video thanks alot
Thanks for putting in the effort 🙏 very good exercise
