Jerry of ChessNetworkBeginnerFundamentalsBeginner

This is video #2 from the "Beginner to Chess Master" playlist. Discussed is a basic point system one can use that'll help us to make good decisions while playing. Additionally, I share some insight on what makes certain chess pieces favorable compared to others. A few basic chess terms like "material", "minor pieces", and "major pieces" are explained as well.

I'm a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who learned how to play from my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.
