WEBVTT 00:01.180 --> 00:01.930 Hi there. 00:02.790 --> 00:07.630 In this election, we're going to talk about how the board is set up at the start of a chess game. 00:08.850 --> 00:11.890 OK, so it's usually like this. 00:11.910 --> 00:15.020 You'll notice here that there's a line square on the right. 00:16.320 --> 00:19.220 Many people line say lights on the right to remember that. 00:20.100 --> 00:25.000 And also, you could say that the queen is always on her own color. 00:25.530 --> 00:27.840 It's like the queen is a fashionable person. 00:29.190 --> 00:35.520 She's an Instagram and she needs the color of her shoes to be the same as her color. 00:35.540 --> 00:39.390 So you can see the black queen is on the black square. 00:39.870 --> 00:45.210 The white queen is on a white square and light on the right. 00:45.270 --> 00:52.950 So these two, you can remember light on the right and the queen's on Instagram that likes to dress 00:53.610 --> 00:54.900 in great harmony. 00:55.260 --> 00:58.510 OK, so that's how to remember. 00:58.890 --> 01:05.880 And also, if you look at the coordinates here, if you have hopefully you have a board in real life. 01:06.090 --> 01:13.930 And I hope you use the Staunton peace design, nothing less than the Staunton peace design named after 01:14.010 --> 01:14.750 Constantine. 01:15.120 --> 01:20.010 It's a beautiful aesthetic peace design, but online it's slightly different. 01:20.010 --> 01:29.820 In today we have these kind of pieces which for me are very nice and usable, but in the real world, 01:29.820 --> 01:39.600 use the stones and peace sets and in the real world you should still have a one bottom left be one. 01:39.600 --> 01:44.700 You can see this coordinate system so we can access like this is a four. 01:45.300 --> 01:48.440 I hope you know that this is a five. 01:49.050 --> 01:50.460 Can you guess what this square is? 01:52.910 --> 01:58.460 Five, I look, if we flip the board, if we're looking from the opponent's point of view. 02:00.580 --> 02:03.220 Yeah, this is a Aints, this is. 02:04.770 --> 02:10.800 H eight, this is H four from Black's point of view, we'll flip the board again. 02:10.800 --> 02:15.830 If you're playing white, it's light on the right and the Queensland Grammar. 02:16.800 --> 02:18.480 So this is how to set up the board. 02:20.190 --> 02:26.100 And we've got these coordinates which come very, very handy and help actually in notating again. 02:27.570 --> 02:33.960 But the scope of this particular lecturer just basically sets up the board like this and make sure you 02:33.960 --> 02:36.150 get students and style design. 02:36.150 --> 02:41.960 If you get a real life chess set, nothing less is usable. 02:41.970 --> 02:48.660 None of this marble stuff, you know, with marble, you know, marble autistic. 02:49.020 --> 02:56.670 You want a functional phatic design balance if you want to actually play chess properly. 02:57.930 --> 03:07.100 So, OK, so bear that in mind that this is how you set up the board lights on the right in Queensland, 03:07.110 --> 03:07.680 its grammar. 03:08.340 --> 03:11.970 So she needs to be on the same colour for her shoes to match. 03:12.540 --> 03:15.390 OK, we've got that sorted now. 03:16.680 --> 03:18.150 OK, thanks very much.
