How did Todd clear the board of all the pieces inncluding the King ? I know he is using the live analysis board, but I cannot figure out how to clear off the king. Please advise.

I'm switching my Netflix addiction for a chess addiction. Better for the brain .

It's my first visit to chess.com. I hope I could play chess - at least for fun

Helpful to "read" the board as in numbers and letters in combinations of each. Rather than learning notation as in letters and numbers being mixed in different ways. That is, R-c1 is easier to visualize than QR-Kkt. At least that makes sense in my mind!!

Good lesson yet the audio seemed to fluctuate a bit from high to low in a linear fashion.
thanks

Todd's tournament experience began with a bang, winning the u1200 section of his first tournament. In one year of feverish study and play he gained an unprecedented 1000 rating points. Since establishing himself as a strong master, he has turned to teaching, and found it extremely rewarding as well. He has also been quite successful: his students have won national championships.
