The Queen’s Gambit is a mainstay in chess opening theory. It is a great opening for beginners and improvers, because at the lower levels you can achieve much the same setup in most games, helping you get familiar with the themes, strategies and tactics of the opening. At the same time the Queen’s Gambit is an opening you can have with you for your entire chess life. It can be played at the beginner level, the club level, the grandmaster level and even at the world championship level. It will never get out of style, it will never get refuted and you’ll always be able to find new and fascinating ways to play it.
In this video you’ll get a deep strategic understanding of what your pieces want to do and why in the Queen’s Gambit. I believe it is most helpful for beginners and improvers to understand the ideas, plans and concepts rather than memorizing endless opening variations and then be left clueless as soon as their opponent deviates. After this strategic introduction I will show an example game so you can see for yourself how deadly the QG can be in effect.
I will make at least one follow-up video (coming out about a week’s time after this one) where I go over the most common responses to the Queen’s Gambit, so you’ll have an overview of all the different stuff black can try and hit you with.
If you are new to the channel I can understand if you are wondering about the peculiar manner in which I speak. This video is not only a chess tutorial, it is also what is known as an ASMR video. ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response and is described as a “tingling sensation” one can have when listening to a soft or whispery voice. The point is to relax the listener and maybe help them sleep. It is also known to be effective against anxiety and have a general calming effect. I can also have the exact opposite effect, which is known as misophonia. If you get inexplicably angry when hearing my voice, please do not be alarmed. This is normal and happens to about 5% of people. You can either vent your anger by writing a nasty comment (not generally recommended) or listening to powerful music – if you are into metal then put on some thrash, if you are into hiphop put on some MOP and scream it out (recommended).
In the video I say Capablanca and Alekhine played their WcM in 1934, which is incorrect. That match was played in 1927, but they played 34 games which was how I got it mixed up.

Knight F5
Why does the 35:00 is the most reviewable part?
I hate his voice
Your so annoying
Great videos!
Really enjoy your style of teaching…. I too play on a DGT board and make vids of the online matches. I really like your Sicilian Defense video and this one's great too!
I modified my "Queens Gambit" after a period of play, to play the queens pawn, then e3, then c4. So the bishop is already covering c4. It seems to work most of the time.
Can I ask you to explain your lighting setup to get only the board lit in what appears to be a darkened room. Cool effect! It's a black surface the board is on right?
Can you do more of these? I really enjoy the way you explain the openings. It's not just a blitz of early moves with deep theoretical dives 20 moves in.
This video was amazing, the only recommendation I could possibly have, is that you have separate videos for experienced players who know the basics, and newer players (and if so, mentioned in the title) But otherwise, great video man!!
I can speak German english And latain
Wheres the next video of this series? I can't find it.
Where do you get this Chessboard, it looks so nice
Love that Dune reference
Oh god i might be gay
Queens gambit is great. It's just every time i play it, i get incredibly boring methodical games
