We got a chess lesson from the current World Champion Grandmaster Gukesh Dommaraju! He explained his thought process when analyzing an unfamiliar freestyle chess position and what steps he went through to evaluate the board. We also had a chanve to test that knowledge by challenging him to a game. Drop a like and let us know in the comments if you’d like to see more instructional videos with the best chess players on our channel!
