Tate Speech - Tate on Chess

Chess is the only thing that makes me feel stupid because it's so complicated and frustrating. But it's also the most important thing in the world and it's the one thing that can help you conquer the world. And it's not even close to being as complicated as it is in chess, but it's still the most frustrating thing I've ever tried to master. And that's why it's important to have a good chessboard and a good woman in your life because that's how you can master the game and live a life of your dreams. CHESS IS THE ONLY THING I LOVE AND IT'S THE ONE THING THAT MAKES ME STUPID AND STINK AND I'M GONNA DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! I LOVE CHESS AND I LOVE TO PLAY IT AND I HAVE A FEATURING CHESS CHAMPION AND HE'S GOOD AND I MADE ME A GOOD FRIEND AND I HATE IT. CHECK OUT THIS EPISODE OF MY MEDITATION AND PREDICTION AND I WOULD LOVE YOU TO BUY A PIECE OF CHESS ON THE PODCAST AND I WILL TELL YOU HOW TO ACTUALLY PLAY CHESS TO THE BEST YOU'RE A GOOD PLAYER AND HAVE A GOOD CHART AND YOU'LL GET A GOOD IDEA OF HOW TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE AND STAY FAST AND MAKE MONEY AND HAVE GOOD FRIENDS AND A GOOD RELATIONSHIP AND YOU WILL BE A GOOD GUY AND YOU ARE A GOOD PERSON AND YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO TALK TO ME ABOUT HOW TO DO THAT'S A GOOD THING AND I DO THAT AND I THINK I'SOMEBODY'S GOOGLE'S TALKING ABOUT CHEATING TO ME AND OTHER THINGS AND I TALK ABOUT IT AND HE GET A LOT OF THINGS LIKE THAT AND HE COULD DO THAT TO ME IN A PLACE AND HE TOLD ME SOMODY ELSE AND HE THINK HE' S GOT A THING LIKE THAT' AND HE S TOTALLY GET A DOG AND HE GIVES ME A QOTME AND HE HAS A YEAH AND HE ACTUATION AND HE LETS ME A BECAUSE HE THOT TO ME SOMTHING AND HE SAID SOMODY HAS A CHEEEEEEEEEEEES A YELLING ABOUT THAT AND SOMODY TOWIE AND A THOT AND A DOUGLE AND I GET AN IDEA AND HE MAKING ME A YOO AND A BODY LIKE THAT?

00:00:00.000 I play a lot of chess. Now, as you may know, my father is one of the best chess players in the

00:00:10.920 world. Beautiful tactician. And my father played chess the way I kickbox. No defense. Pure attack.

00:00:18.320 And sometimes he'd lose terribly. Sometimes he would destroy someone. Steamroll. A lot of the

00:00:24.860 best chess players in the world now are not unstoppable forces. They're immovable objects.

00:00:30.040 They just play super safe. They keep everything guarded and they slowly grind you down. My dad

00:00:34.200 didn't do that dumb shit. It was like, yeah, fucking sacrifice the queen, motherfucker. You have to 1.00

00:00:37.600 sacrifice. Fuck you. Like a fucking bad boy. So from a young age, I played chess. I was actually 1.00

00:00:43.860 the youngest ever staked chess champion for Indiana. I was chess champion at age five in the under 12s.

00:00:48.780 It's the youngest person to ever win it at the time. I don't know if it's been beaten since.

00:00:51.300 I played chess for a long time professionally until I moved to England. And then there's

00:00:55.260 no chess scene in England like there is in America. In America, it's really big. In

00:00:57.960 England, it's nothing because England's shit. So I stopped playing chess. But I still play 1.00

00:01:01.940 now for fun. I play Ed Latimore. If you know this, Ed Latimore on Twitter. Me and him, we

00:01:07.240 have chess beef. If you're wondering who wins, he's good. And I ain't that much better, but

00:01:13.220 I've got that edge. So I love chess. The reason I love chess is because, two reasons. It is

00:01:20.800 extremely frustrating. And I like doing something that I can never master. Chess is probably the

00:01:26.500 only thing that makes me feel stupid because I'm a smart dude. Anything else I've ever tried to do 0.94

00:01:30.580 or learn is easy. Trying to fathom chess is frustrating like fuck. It's so complicated. 1.00

00:01:37.800 And two, chess applies perfectly to life. When you say this, people go, it's a board game. It applies

00:01:44.860 perfectly to life. And if you look at a chessboard, you look at life and how you strategize and put

00:01:50.500 things in place, a chessboard and life mimic each other perfectly. So the queen is the most

00:01:57.540 powerful piece on the board besides the king. The king is you. The king can't die. If you die,

00:02:02.860 the game's over. You cannot be trapped. You cannot die. So every single piece is disposable besides the

00:02:08.560 king. And that's you. Your queen is your most powerful piece. Now if you're sitting there going,

00:02:13.700 why is that true? Your queen's the most powerful piece because how your woman affects your mentality 1.00

00:02:18.420 is extremely important. If you have a woman who just negatively damages your brain with constant 1.00

00:02:24.000 negative emotion, you're not the man you could be. So that's why your queen's the most powerful

00:02:29.040 piece on the board. You need a woman who is ready to wait for you 10 years when you go to jail. 1.00

00:02:34.300 And you need a woman who shuts the fuck up when you tell her to. It is not easy to find. 1.00

00:02:37.560 But that's extremely important. If you're sitting there going, how do I do that? Buy the PhD course.

00:02:43.500 PhD will tell you how. PhD course will tell you how to tell if you have a quality woman or a bad 1.00

00:02:46.960 woman. It's all in the course. It's for sale on the website. But your queen is the most powerful 0.99

00:02:51.960 piece on the board because it affects your mentality directly. But in a game of chess, in certain

00:02:57.440 situations, sometimes the queen's got to be sacrificed. Sometimes the queen has to die so that you can live.

00:03:02.700 That's how it goes. You've got your rooks. Your rooks are your brothers if you're lucky enough to

00:03:08.500 have a brother. It's the second most powerful piece on the board. On a chess board, you have two. I

00:03:13.840 have one. One's enough. Rooks are your brothers. They back shit up. If you ever play chess, you know

00:03:18.660 that rooks are not necessarily a frontline piece. They're always supporting something. You put a rook

00:03:22.800 behind a pawn and you fire that pawn off the board. Or you put a rook aiming at the king to add

00:03:27.580 pressure. You can attack that square with weaker pieces. That's what rooks are for.

00:03:32.700 You have your knights and bishops. These are close friends. Close friends that you've made.

00:03:37.860 Maybe you'll have five close friends in your life that you've known for years and years. People you

00:03:40.700 work together with. People you make money with. If you're sitting there going, I don't have a close

00:03:43.640 friend I make money with. Then you're a fucking idiot because what are your friends for if it's not 1.00

00:03:47.400 for conquering the world? When me and my friends sit down at a fucking chess board. Me and my friends 1.00

00:03:52.360 sit down anywhere. All we talk about is how to make more money. That's what me and my friends are

00:03:58.520 interested in. How are you making money today? How are you making money today? How's this working?

00:04:02.440 What if you did this? Did a world conquering. On a chess board you put your bishops and your knights

00:04:07.260 in the right positions to conquer the board. And with your friends you should be sitting down talking

00:04:11.040 about how to conquer life. And then you have your pawns. And your pawns are employees because pawns are

00:04:17.240 the most disposable piece on the board. They're extremely important and a good pawn can become at the end of

00:04:22.080 the board and become something else. But in general pawns are there to protect the other pieces and pawns are

00:04:27.320 there to die. This is the reality of life and is reflected perfectly on the chess board. Now if you're

00:04:34.160 watching this and you don't know how to play chess you should fucking learn. Because I guarantee 0.99

00:04:38.740 when you have a basic concept of chess, a basic grasp of it, it will change the way you view the world.

00:04:45.860 So if you're sitting there watching this going oh but I want to watch anime or I want to finish this box set. 1.00

00:04:50.800 Fuck that garbage. You should play chess instead. In fact, what I'm going to do is I'm going to put together 1.00

00:04:57.120 a chess course. Now there's a whole bunch of free chess information on the internet if you want to learn it

00:05:01.640 yourself. But my coach, international master, Eric Kislik, he charges 200 pounds an hour for chess lessons.

00:05:10.340 He's who teaches me now since my father died. He's exceptionally good. And he loves my YouTube videos.

00:05:15.400 He's watched them all and he thinks I'm funny. He's also a Trump supporter, obviously, like all real men are. 0.93

00:05:20.800 And he's put together a chess course which is on sale on Amazon and through Chess Networks.

00:05:25.440 I think he's charging $500 for the course. He's told me I can sell it on my channel for much, much less.

00:05:31.520 So we're going to put that up there. So if you're basic at chess, you're good at chess, or you've never

00:05:36.160 played before, buy this. Because at the end of the course you're going to be able to better grasp a chess

00:05:41.200 board. You're going to learn a whole bunch of shit. You're going to get a new hobby which is fantastic. 1.00

00:05:44.960 We can meet up and have a beer at a game sometime. Plus you get a better view of the world.

00:05:49.440 Taught by international master at a fraction of the price.
