Thanks again for FM todd dndrews, I emphasize the following:
1- We must not concede the right of castling Except for reasonable cause
2- We must be very careful of the knight movement, especially Knight Fork
3- We must be very careful when advancing pawn forward, because the pawn never back
As with the first video in the series, very clear and understandable. Thank you again.
cool video! it teaches alot!
Thank you.
I've learnt that and it's easy.
He did not mention that moving the king, even if the king has moved back to its original sqaure has lost the right to castle either side. Also moving the rook on the king side or queen side means you can no longer castle to that side even if the rook is returned to the original sqaure.
mastora, its simple. This is because the king would have been under attack(check) from the square you are moving it to and remember, the king is priceless, so; you'll certainly lose your game when your king is captured ok? Good.
me either

Thanks for the lesson however I'm still not clear on castling???
I love chess!
King is a coward lol. OMG this guy is hilarious. The pawns take so much space- making them the sole of chess! At 22:40 I thought he was gonna do a nazi flag with the arrows. Fortunately he didn't :)
I don't get why understanding it's illegal to move the king to a position where he's in check is most hard to grasp for a beginner.
