WEBVTT 00:02.800 --> 00:08.410 Hi guys, just in case you are a bit stuck about this chess trainer, don't worry that there's no pieces 00:08.410 --> 00:09.520 on the board. 00:09.550 --> 00:13.930 Now when we click Start Training it says G6. 00:13.930 --> 00:15.340 So G6. 00:15.820 --> 00:18.280 We're from the white perspective here. 00:18.280 --> 00:20.200 So G6 is actually this. 00:20.200 --> 00:25.900 We've scored a point so f3 h6, d4 a6. 00:25.900 --> 00:32.440 It helps you get a feel for coordinates, which is going to make lectures much easier later when I make 00:32.440 --> 00:40.090 reference to the move the coordinates on the chessboard so you can see that, uh, you know, you can 00:40.090 --> 00:42.100 get faster and faster at this. 00:42.100 --> 00:44.830 So I've got 17 there. 00:44.830 --> 00:46.600 I can try playing again. 00:46.870 --> 00:52.300 But if you want to add to the challenge, you can also have it from the black perspective. 00:52.300 --> 00:54.100 This is just from the white perspective. 00:54.100 --> 00:55.390 It's good to know your coordinates. 00:55.390 --> 01:03.760 This is really going to help your chess training in general and also your your visualization skills 01:03.760 --> 01:12.640 during an actual game could be enhanced as well that you have a better grasp of where things are basically 01:12.640 --> 01:15.370 on the chessboard, especially color training. 01:15.370 --> 01:21.640 So here I've improved the score, but we can take it from if we click black, it's now from. 01:21.970 --> 01:26.920 You can see that there's an outline around black where on Black's perspective, if we play again this 01:26.920 --> 01:28.090 is from Black's perspective. 01:28.090 --> 01:29.080 So it's not h4. 01:29.110 --> 01:30.220 This would be a mistake. 01:30.220 --> 01:33.970 Naught at one h4 from Black's perspective is here. 01:35.020 --> 01:41.170 Sorry, was that g2 from Black's perspective is here d8 f3. 01:41.170 --> 01:46.120 We're talking from Black's perspective now, so this is from Black's perspective. 01:46.240 --> 01:48.670 So yes, from white and black perspective. 01:48.670 --> 01:50.740 Train from the white and black perspective. 01:51.550 --> 01:53.140 So I hope you're getting the idea here. 01:53.140 --> 01:57.340 We're getting the coordinates from the black perspective okay. 01:58.060 --> 02:00.670 So that's from black perspective. 02:00.670 --> 02:02.800 So you've got white perspective or black perspective. 02:02.800 --> 02:06.550 We can also do color training. 02:06.700 --> 02:11.740 So basically if we do color training and click play again. 02:12.130 --> 02:13.780 So H6. 02:14.170 --> 02:18.070 Now this is from White's from White's perspective. 02:20.310 --> 02:27.090 H6 okay is a dark square. 02:27.900 --> 02:31.620 E7 is a dark square. 02:31.860 --> 02:34.440 H5 is a light square. 02:35.130 --> 02:39.840 E1 is a dark square. 02:39.870 --> 02:40.680 Because are white. 02:45.540 --> 02:46.920 E1 is. 02:50.230 --> 02:55.810 E1, so I got e1 incorrect saying it was a light square. 02:55.810 --> 02:59.590 Let's let's look at the board from a white perspective. 02:59.620 --> 03:01.060 E1 is a dark square. 03:01.060 --> 03:04.000 So you can see I've got room for improvement. 03:06.430 --> 03:08.560 Let's let's try the colors again. 03:08.920 --> 03:11.050 Let's try the color training again. 03:11.080 --> 03:11.980 So okay. 03:11.980 --> 03:14.800 So color training is another aspect here. 03:16.150 --> 03:19.360 And as you can see I so let's try and improve the score. 03:19.360 --> 03:24.220 So G3 is a dark square. 03:24.250 --> 03:25.840 D4 is. 03:27.960 --> 03:30.690 I don't square. 03:30.690 --> 03:35.490 B6 is a dark square. 03:35.520 --> 03:39.720 C3 is a dark square. 03:39.750 --> 03:41.340 G3 is. 03:43.020 --> 03:46.800 I don't square again. 03:46.860 --> 03:48.270 D7. 03:50.040 --> 03:52.680 Okay, so I was more successful there. 03:52.710 --> 03:53.250 Okay. 03:53.250 --> 03:53.940 So yeah. 03:53.940 --> 03:55.140 Have fun with this. 03:55.140 --> 03:57.930 Coordinates and color training is really going to help. 03:57.930 --> 04:04.440 Now, one thing in case you're wondering about the colors, what you can do is visualize your dark square 04:04.440 --> 04:08.550 bishop, visualize it, you know, going across these squares. 04:08.970 --> 04:11.160 And you can do the same for the light square bishop. 04:11.160 --> 04:15.540 If you're stuck like G2, think about the light square Bishop is on F1. 04:15.540 --> 04:20.640 If you remember the light square bishops on F1, you can sort of deduce that all of these are light 04:20.640 --> 04:23.640 squares g2 and h3. 04:24.330 --> 04:26.820 So f1, e2, d3. 04:26.820 --> 04:28.260 These are all light squares. 04:28.260 --> 04:34.290 So yeah, just think about your bishops for example on C1 and F1 if you're really stuck and eventually 04:34.320 --> 04:36.780 you'll be more intuitive about it. 04:36.780 --> 04:41.130 So think about the bishops or the queen is sitting on its own color light square. 04:41.130 --> 04:42.480 So all of these are light squares. 04:42.480 --> 04:43.800 If you're tested you know H5. 04:43.800 --> 04:45.360 What's the color of h5? 04:45.480 --> 04:47.910 So you don't have to like work out. 04:48.240 --> 04:53.160 Like you can get a more intuitive feeling for the color of the squares. 04:53.160 --> 05:00.030 If you think about your queen on the light square and then where it would go, bounce around or your 05:00.030 --> 05:05.400 dark square bishop how it would bounce around or your light square bishop how this would bounce around. 05:05.400 --> 05:09.270 So if you're tested on see8, you know, that's like a light square bishop. 05:09.270 --> 05:10.470 It's got access to the C8. 05:10.890 --> 05:15.870 Or, you know, if you remember that Black's light square bishop is on c8, Black's dark square bishop 05:15.870 --> 05:17.070 is on f8. 05:17.280 --> 05:22.200 So if we do color training again, I'll just show you that in action. 05:22.200 --> 05:25.350 So we're going to play again on the. 05:25.350 --> 05:26.910 So here G1. 05:26.910 --> 05:29.580 Well our light square bishop is on F1. 05:29.580 --> 05:32.550 So G1 is a dark square G8. 05:32.580 --> 05:34.230 The dark square bishop is on f8. 05:34.230 --> 05:38.340 So G8 is a light square because it's next to it. 05:38.340 --> 05:39.420 It's going to be different. 05:39.420 --> 05:42.690 So B1 our dark square bishop is on C1. 05:42.690 --> 05:45.720 So B1 is a light square. 05:47.100 --> 05:48.540 So B1 okay. 05:48.540 --> 05:53.070 So again light square that that was very helpful wasn't it. 05:53.070 --> 05:54.960 To get some bonus points there e5. 05:54.960 --> 05:57.570 So anyway, so I hope you get the idea. 05:57.570 --> 06:04.320 If you do this training it's going to really improve your instincts for coordinates for color of squares. 06:04.320 --> 06:07.770 But you can also do visualization training. 06:08.010 --> 06:14.040 And if you want to get into visualization I do have a detailed course on visualization training where 06:14.040 --> 06:16.740 actually this amazing resource was created for that later. 06:16.740 --> 06:22.560 This was after I'd actually created this beginner course for you, but I realize that this is an absolutely 06:22.560 --> 06:28.500 amazing resource at this point in your training in this beginner course to get a feel for the chessboard. 06:28.500 --> 06:33.330 So, you know, if we go back to coordinate training, you know, white or black perspective, and then 06:33.330 --> 06:34.710 we've got the color training. 06:34.710 --> 06:38.610 So I really hope you get the most out of this and build up your scores. 06:38.610 --> 06:39.330 It's all private. 06:39.330 --> 06:41.940 It's not stored to any database or anything. 06:42.060 --> 06:47.880 So, you know, just just it's up to you to use it without any embarrassment. 06:47.880 --> 06:49.140 There's no embarrassment. 06:49.380 --> 06:50.370 It's nothing's recorded. 06:50.370 --> 06:54.660 So, you know, it doesn't matter if you get zero all the time, you know, build up your scores, get 06:54.660 --> 06:56.430 your confidence around the chessboard. 06:56.430 --> 06:59.130 So I hope you have a lot of fun with this facility. 06:59.460 --> 07:02.130 And I believe it will be super useful. 07:02.130 --> 07:04.170 And also for your playing skills as well. 07:04.170 --> 07:09.180 Not just understand the lectures much easier, but actually your playing skills, your visualization 07:09.180 --> 07:11.790 skills for the chessboard in your mind's eye. 07:11.820 --> 07:14.040 Okay, thanks so much.
