Beginning Chess Concepts by Professor Hikaru

I tend to agree with Bobby Fischer.
Chess players are petty, selfish, spiteful and spineless little punks.

Look summer (A 1/ bishops queens and knights) plus winter(A 2/Pawns,kings and rooks) equals slush zone and snowmans are just going ok to that bait

Thank you for these videos! They’re incredibly easy to follow and enjoyable. I’m an adult now but I still remember searching up your name as a kid when I first picked up chess.

I have one problem as a beginner, Hikaru moves and talks too fast for me to absorb the information .

WTF A1 White

the Gucci Piano opening had me confused for a minute.

I love this series!

this wasnt boring at all. I think openings are probably the biggest point of confusion for new players. I remember not knowing at all how to start a game and just played whatever piece. Knowing that there is purpose and strategy to different openings makes chess infinitely more interesting and compelling

I could watch this ALL DAY!

This is Awesome!!

A B C D E F H G...

My rating is around 2100, but I am learning a lot from this set of games against beginners

Hikaru's IQ being 102 is just beautiful for multiple reasons. 1. You don't need a high IQ to accomplish extraordinary mental tasks. It's about focus and passion. 2. You can be talented without a high IQ. 3. Most people overestimate their IQ by a lot. 4. Hikaru is humble af and doesn't need to lie to boost his ego. Anyone would have believed it if he said 130.

Professor..lol too funny

sooo he didn't make 50 million dollars with chess? :( thatsucks

I love how the thumbnail has the g and h files switched

PARÁDA

Very calming and respectful. I find your game summaries and blitz too fast for my slow old brain. This format is perfect. Well done Hikaru 👍

Thank you for doing content like this! You're an inspiration.

Finally, a more realistic based theory. Beginners or not. Referring to playing the computer at high levels Imo simple theory helps confuse the algorithm

Beginners tutorial conducted at light speed😧

I found myself playing chess after doing some academic stuffs at uni. Thanks for this, i'm a total beginner and plays between 600-800

Hikaru using Nptel intro

IQ cannot accurately say how smart you are. You are typically tested with nonsense figures and math and so on. This is not the way we should be tested. We should have a real problem to solve and to be tested in your specific domain of work. Like you can't compare a programmer with an architect.

Thank you Grandmaster 🫡

Went from 500 to 650 watching Levy, got stuck at 650 until I watched Hikaru and now I'm at 815 with a winning streak, even beating 1000 elos.

Praggnanandhaa

hi can you deffeat the champion

Man's trying to show you how to get better at chess all they wants to know is how old he was when he became GM, aka "How to google search something"

Anyone noticed that the video preview image goes
ABCDEFHG rather than
ABCDEFGH?

In the picture of the "clickbait" you can see on the board of the blackboard abcdefhg instead of adcdefgh. 😂

Thank you Hikaru , This format is a very fluid and enjoyable way to learn.

Holy crap! This was awesome! I'm ready to kick some a$$ now!

Amazing

Chess is dumb.

His opponent thinking that hikaru is in thought. Meanwhile hikaaru wasting time for reading comments

would like to see how GM turnaround a bad material or position...

Thanks for sharing
