About

Hey, I’m Zachary but please call me Zach!

I do anything and everything that has to do with chess and make my analysis comprehensible for all levels!
I love cultures and countries from all around the world 🌍 Please drop your country in any recent video!!

Entertainment and Education at its finest of mixtures is why I make chess videos. I want to provide you with as much of my knowledge as I possibly can. I am infinitely passionate about this invaluable 1,500 year old game that continues to surprise me 18 years in and counting.

All content is made with love and if you feel like it, please consider subscribing for more videos and to help me start getting to the next goal: 300,000 subs :)

Thank you and please drop a comment in any video introducing yourself and I will do the same!
Sincerely,
thechessnerd

P.S. If you like what you see, a lot of my clips and videos come from my Twitch - I'm thechessnerdlive on there and I stream 6 times a week! https://www.twitch.tv/thechessnerdlive
