doing these until get comfortable
if some is really hard to grasp like that knight and bishop mate just skip it

to start with it can help to visualize when you click the piece, it shows where it can move

A knight is like a spider with 8 legs. It can move to the end of any of them.
Hope this helps.

horse stronk
can assault queen and tower at the same time, before opponent sees it coming, forcing a 5pointer kill for a 3pointer sacrafice

hunt the lead instead of the king for the win
do a development move, whenever it force a non development move

I made a YouTube channel a little more than a month ago, I'm dropping content consistently. If anyone wants to add me or play? P.m. or post, if you want to learn here's a link for you to watch.

https://youtube.com/channel/UCSHXkIRnbL4KCti8ZwHw3QQ

Here's a tutorial if you want to learn how to play chess

https://youtu.be/sIwqB-sgAic

Me placing 1st in a bullet tournament with over 500 people (1minute games)

https://youtu.be/U8xvDCXdu3Q

Me demonstrating the hardest checkmate in chess (Bishop + knight)

https://youtu.be/itmT5DxszYg

Bonus video of me just messing around in the batting cages(70+mph) after hitting 80+ balls, arms were jello, hands were pins n needles. I played baseball for almost 15 years, used to throw mid-80s, but hadn't swung a bat in about 20 years. I'll be 38 this year.

https://youtu.be/dviDI8-OkdM

And there's lots of other goodies. Feel free to PM me with your chess.com account so I can add you as friends. Any input would be appreciated, criticism is welcome as well. I have some pretty big plans with plenty of material to cover. We're just getting this ball rolling. I'm not asking you to subscribe or like, I'm not that guy. But I would like your opinions, or ideas on future material. I plan on covering famous games, openings, theory, tactics, and bringing it to the streets to actually hustle, and the likes in the future. My entire goal, is to get those who watch my videos to increase their skill level at the game. Lkk what ya think. Thanks.

If you want to browse through the videos I've made here you go here's a link to my channel.

Here's my latest video I made, took me several hours to design this. I did it as a thank you since I have hit 1,000 views on my channel.
