Hi there.
In this lecture, I like to talk about why there are so many newcomers to chance, it seems at the moment,
and why this was a kind of motivation for this cause.
I thought I should do a fairly comprehensive course covering the three major stages of the game, as
well as the introductory rules so people can play legal moves of chess.
They can be aware of the special moves of chess, and they can enjoy the fundamental perspectives that
chess offers in the opening game in and game.
And explore some of the wonders of chess and even be inspired in this course, because we even look
at some beautiful examples of the way, you know, tactical masterpieces, positional masterpieces,
and it's even even a section to be inspired from the world's first champions.
So I've probably gone further than most of the standard introductory courses.
I've also done more advanced courses you can check out.
If you do master this course, there are more advanced courses.
Check out the ones I've done and I welcome you to the game.
You may have come from the series The Queen's Gambit, which is actually named after an opening, the
Queen's Gambit.
So here is the Queen's Gambit declined and there is the Queen's accepted.
So the Queen's Gambit Netflix series depicts chess as really quite a glamorous game.
And often it is.
There are two months around the world.
There are beautiful places chess is played.
There are beautiful people and minds to meet.
In the world of chess, there's a lot of enjoyment on the chess board.
The beauty of the chess board, if only you could say, is I've known this for a long time and quite
often the things that were thought of as nerdy before become cool.
And that's the same with computing used to be nerdy and now it's like course, that mainstream I chasez,
similar society in general, seems to gravitate towards things that are very visual and very, very
easy to understand from a spectator point of view.
When a series comes along like the Queen's Gambit series on that face and it shows you how wonderful
chess can be, it's an eye opener and I really hope that this course will.
Awaken in you the possibilities that Chaz has as a creative pursuits, not just the technical pursuits,
you can create very, very beautiful games in chess, very beautiful, called tactics and combinations.
There's a great mastery to be had in all phases of a chess game.
And hopefully on this course will tell you, at least to a certain level consistently, to give you
a basic structure to work with.
So like level one in opening level one and no game ever won in games for you to appreciate the distinct
priorities of each phase of the game.
And as as well as, you know, the Netflix series, also chess is very, very good online.
There are so many streamers now as part of the original kind of YouTube revolution.
One of the other YouTube is and that was lots and lots of chasuble YouTube.
And streaming is generally also like streaming just as great if you want to be a streamer and entertainer
online, it's quite often reached some of the most popular categories of all games, despite being a
classical game on Twitch in recent months.
So Chess's is getting a big resurgence in popularity.
Generally, it's an extremely beautiful game that has been around hundreds of years and I hope this
course unlocks many of its secrets.
And I hope you really enjoy your chats, OK.
Thank you much.
