How to develop Creativity in chess

any ideas on this?

Play chess under water? If that doesn't work, maybe playing chess in the million-dollar toilet room made of gold might help chess creativity.

play wheel blitz: spinning the wheel part of a bike as hard as you can and trying to play a game before it completely stops.

play blindfold

play doing 5 jumping jacks each time a piece is captured/exchange: Good exercise and builds character in a way for having a fighting spirit

This is actually an interesting question. I'm sure many of us have seen repeated, boring, games. 

What works for me is watching youtube channels like chessexplained / kingscrusher to keep new ideas floating in.

Inspiration, dueds

play openings that allow for many variations and force the opponent to make unique moves. Then the game to be interesting. Or never play the same opening yourself

How do they get so many viewers and keep them interested? I've been doing videos too but it's harder than it looks

more deeeper analysis the better and they seem lively in commentary

How about...

-you hit the other person in the hand (the one they don't move the pieces with) with a flip-flop every time they loose material.

-you play chess boxing (look it up; it's pretty cool).

-you argue why your move is better than anything your opponent could think of after each move (thinking through each move and backing it up.  Plus, your opponent might have insight on why a particular move is inferior to other moves).

I've taken a look at your video's. Here's a few tips:

> Talk slower and articulate better. Especially when you're calculating things you go too fast for me to follow everything you say.

> Only show the chessboard. Possibly with the players and move list. All else is somewhat distracting to me.

> There are some smacking sounds to be heard while you are talking, try reduce that.

totally misread i guess. Anyway how did your find his videos, i wanted to look but couldnt find anything ón youtube.

Bobbylow, it comes down to persistence and word-of-mouth. It looks like Kingscrusher has become so successful he now has a deal with chessbase! At least, he's now advertised on chessbase.

In my opinion the more you understand, the more you have room to be creative.  To get new ideas, look at games.  Not just contemporary but also 100 years ago.

A chess master from Israel, Avni, wrote a book called creativity in chess in which he discussed positions in which the bets move violated normal rules. For instance he shows a Karpov game where he plays h4 before castling for a "wild" or "premature" attack that is in fact the right plan.
