BugHouse Chess Video #10 - New Players!

By Online Chess Lessons







This is our TENTH of many live bughouse videos we'll be releasing. Bughouse is controversial amongst the chess community but like all things, a little bit of moderation is key, and I don't think it hurts your chess game. More importantly I think it gets kids into chess, teaches you about positional play and teamwork as well. I'm releasing these videos for fun and hope you all enjoy them. My friend Kazim Gulamali is one of the best bughouse players in the world so I hope you enjoy.



What is bughouse chess? I wrote a great article about bughouse chess a while back.
