  I've been playing chess for 40 years. This is one of the best videos I've ever seen concerning beginner mistakes. Great job, Anna

  As a beginner who already knew all this, I’ve decided I’m no longer a beginner 🎉

  These types of beginners videos are really the only type of videos on this channel that I'm able to follow and truly understand. Please make more of them Anna!

  Based on what Anna has seen she could easily do a "And here are the next 50 mistakes players make" video.

  I would add to point No 4. Always check what defence you are taking away before you move a piece. For example at my lowly level very often you have a piece defending the queen which when you move causes a file or diagonal to open and consequent loss if there is an enemy piece strategically placed ie bishops stowed away in the back ranks!

  I do mistake 3 a lot.  The reason is that as a beginner less pieces means simpler game. So I have to feeling to be able to strategize more after an null exchange.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7czaBml3SeI&amp;t=190">3:10</a> I like trading pieces in bullet games, specially if it&apos;s the opponent&apos;s knight which are often too annoying and hard to calculate

  This video is not only a great education in chess, it is also a great example of how to do a video.
