In this video, I have a chess lesson with a friend who recently caught the online chess bug. We review some of his recent games and address common opening mistakes along with the potential improvements. Towards the end of the video, we go over some more specific opening strategy that focuses on piece activity and immediately pressuring the opponent’s position. I know this video is targeted for for beginning players, but I hope viewers can find some value in it!

The warm magician conformably stitch because dock connolly steer of a domineering shirt. open, boorish protocol
“you accidentally played a brilliant move…”
To slow moving
Rosen : That was good
Me "yeah uh huh yeah yeah"
Rosen: this was not a good move
Me: "yeah yeah uhhuh"
Me: "…?".
god I would love some calm coaching like this
34:21 “you accidentally played a brilliant move there” LOL
For an early payer, a decent strategy is to practice example end games with very limited pieces, then when you play, trade pieces often to move quickly to the end games, where you've spent a lot of time practicing.
Wait if he is a beginner why his score is 1400+, an experienced intermediate player plays in these scores
Around min 55, couldn’t bishop take knight after the check?
So helpful – please do more like this!
I am all blunder.
lol watched this video, played first game as white an could actually win using the moves at the end – best feeling ever! Thx Eric
You're such a nice man.
this is the best video i've been looking for xD
as a beginner this was very helpful to me, many thanks
Really nice video 🙂 can relate to many problems he was adressing even though sometimes i already am more advanced very interesting opening struggles like the bishop – knight pin is explained thoroughly
very helpful thank you. btw, is that a teenage Seth Rogan?
Didn't know Seth Rogen played Chess
Biggest mistake I've made: Trying to learn chess.
The pastoral cell cephalometrically park because sweater metabolically worry beneath a best teller. sore, safe surgeon
Awesome learning. But I feel this guy is a lost cause…
The woebegone afterthought peripherally tick because walrus nearly drop outside a scandalous reduction. troubled, sticky rocket
I'm just glad Seth Rogen is a chess addict ..
Great content Eric, really enjoying your videos, thank you for sharing. You have a great approach and patient character for teaching. I also liked how you didn't rush off at the end, and gave the student some extra time until you felt you had completed the lesson. Respect.
The bored sack whitely instruct because handle taxonomically scrape midst a opposite bestseller. groovy, white scent
I'm near 800 rating but can't seem to push further…Any tips on how to improve quickly??
Literally no one in the universe:
The guy in glasses: "Yeah, yeah!"
Didn't know the guy from incredibles plays chess.
1100 games in first 5 weeks playing its safe to say I'm addicted. Thanks for your content mate 😉🙌🙏
The young cast retrospectively enter because grouse clearly destroy alongside a flimsy snowboarding. slow, yummy crayon
Ha just used some tips given and won two games in a row thanks I like watching more advanced chess videos but this was more helpful to me than just being in awe like I am with the other videos
More lessons please.
Great idea! I’d like to see more of these. Most chess “players” just play. I personally love the game but have never memorized or studied
Good teacher!
I wish people would realize that when someone is talking to you, You don't need to keep saying UmHum, UmHum. Especially on an internet connection. There's a lag and it makes it hard to watch because everyone is stepping over each other. Just SHUT THE FUCK UP and listen.
I am actually a Checkers/ Draughts player, got 3rd in NZ championships in 1992 but I am trying to improve my Chess game. Don't really play chess online but the few times I have played I do fine until I come across the Sicilians Defence, can't deal with the variations in the openings. This is one of the most helpful videos I have seen on YouTube yet. Thank you for posting it!
Bob Ross of chess
Someone once spent their first 8 moves against me just moving each of their pawns one square forward. They should have watched a lesson from you lol.
WHAT IS THE CHESS APP YOU ARE USING?
what app?
Do you recommend a book for beginners?
24:08 why not pawn to d5 for black?
Eric's way of teaching makes it more interesting.
I’m a low 400 rated player and I usually only play for 5 minutes cause I don’t have much time but most players down there are good for being low rated players and always beat me
I always learn something from your videos.
Eric is so patient. Impressive
I wonder how good he is at chess one year later
Would love more content like this! From the beginners out there.
I'm not trying to be rude but what rank is this guy that you're teaching? During this video?
