Hi guys can I ask is there any youtube videos that you can recommend for Beginners to this game please. I am wanting to learn but already finding it hard! Thanks, Rachel xx

I like the NM Robert Ramirez course on youtube. He starts at zero and goes up through master level stuff. Feels like a personal coach. Basics, tactics, openings, etc in a nice progression. He has like 150+ videos and you can jump/skip to whatever level you feel you want.

GM Daniel Naroditsky on youtube is very helpful. But I guess you're brand new to chess so I'd recommend getting a membership here at chess.com and going through the beginner videos (they have an entire series for beginners that way you understand how the game works) as well as thousands of other very good lessons you can use in the future when you start to get better. Good luck!

Thank you soo much xx

Thanks soo much for this xx

Thanks I have lots to check out now. There is soo much more to this game than I realised!! xx

I'd recommend watching John Bartholomew's climbing the rating ladder series, and also his chess fundamental videos. You can find them on youtube by searching for those phrases. Here's an example:

Hi! My name is Lauren Goodkind and I’m a respected  chess coach and chess YouTuber who helps beginners out :

After you learn the bare basics, I suggest for you to check out my YouTube channel for beginners, like you. You will find my videos to be helpful.  

Hi Lauren thank you soo much! I will be sure to check out your videos I promise xx

I also highly recommend Levy's Full Guide on Learning Chess:

If you're more into reading, here is a pretty comprehensive written guide on learning chess:

Once you have the basics down, you can check out this video:

Hi thank you soo much I will check them out xx

Some great recommendations from others.

If you want another to add to the list, I have just started a series from Coach Kestony where he runs through the most typical beginner mistakes which I am finding useful - Beginner Chess Guide | Most Typical Mistakes

If you are completely new to the game and still learning the rules, then something like Robert Ramirez   which has already been recommended is likely a better place to start, but once you are familiar with the rules and are starting to play games, I recommend giving the Kestony series a try.

Hi thanks soo much I have soo many now on my list to watch! xx
