Chess Visualizing: How To Remember Squares

This was so good, and so helpful. Thank you🫡🤠

ty levi, u da best coach

This helped ALOTT!

I really hoped it won t be klick bait

GREAT lesson

I use a very simple method to remember the colors of the squares:
A,C,E,G- odd files
B,D,F,H - even files
first grade math:
Odd+odd=black
Even+even= black
Odd+even=white

How is white more wonky than black?

Assuming nothing else is on the board, Pawn sees 1 or 2 squares, Rook sees 14 squares, Knight sees 8 squares, Bishop sees 14 squares, Queen sees 28 squares, King sees 8 squares.

Sorry but D1 is controlled 4 times

Completely unhelpful to a novice.

But Levy, my answer to third case was C3, it has also 3 attackers, though obviously not strategigally important square

Very good video on chess

Wonderful vidéo. I love this.

levy ......i want this type of educational content from you again regularly....

a4, b2, d1, f2, e4

im stuck at 200

What are the benefits of remembering these coordinates of pieces???

solo chess is a good exercise

Me trying to visualising a chess board le my mind-: spawing a dancing ballerina on it😂

For the controlled square question: what about c3?

It's controlled by the knight, the pawn and the queen. Is there a reason it's not a valid answer?

Edit: oh nvm, it has to be in the center

I felt stupid for being at this level of chess. Realized I never learnt it the right way. This helps a lot.

14.22: D1 is controlled by two rucks, the queen and a knight?? Thats 4 beating D5 with 3 ? or am I misunderstanding the rules of the challenge?

noice video thanks

H1 has four defenders. It’s dumb because no one wants to take it but technically it’s an open square white has on lock down. 😊 Thanks so much for these videos. Even two year old videos are great. Looking forward to the book when it’s out.

This video genuinely really helped me

gotham could you make a video or add insight on how to think 'spacially' as opposed to visualizing for this reason: i've read that scientists now understand that what our eyes see is a relatively small space in front and that the rest of the surrounding area is in a sense guessed at and filled in by our brains; so this seems to me particularly applicable to the chessboard. i for one constantly am making the mistake of becoming myopic and not seeing the entire board; not seeing it spacially in other words, if that makes any sense?

One thing I will never do is learning the a-h 1-8 codes and become a grandmaster. I will know that the corner guy is elephant, one is horse, one is mantri and kind queen and font guys are soldiers. That's it for me.

Great video

Great video. 👍 do more videos on visualizing the board.

I think I will get a chessboard with big enough squares to write coordinates for both white and black sides. I think seeing the letters and numbers visually each time I move will get it more ingrained instead of mentally counting each move. If I can associate a particular square with a letter and number from each perspective, I think it will be more natural.
