Very helpful
Change your thumbnail photo to old ones, this one's not looking attractive
The final example was very good.
"Oh, my knight's on a3, watching c2 and defended, I'm fine here."
I'll disagree with the first one, as I play Bird's Opening. (g)
11:32 – I wouldn’t do Nh3 because of the teaching that Knights should develop towards the center. I’d castle and suffer the loss then Nf3, Ng5 and hope for the best…
I agree with it but what if the opening requires to move your f-pawn like in the caro kann fantasy variation or in the vienna/kings gambit are these openings considered bad then even if you can get winning postions out of them
Ok. I get it. King's gambit is only allowed when you play black and start 1 tempo behind.
It's ok though, I enjoy the challenge 😀
👍🏻👍🏻
Moving the f pawn is p important in vienna
Awesome bro , informative video 🤝💫
Very great lesson with wonderful ideas and clever ideas😈😈😈👏👏thanks for sharing that
For me these short videos are very good and helpful, but the downside is that i don't really understand them but i will keep on checking them…
You are the best chess tutior ony youtube. There are many channels but I like your channel the most. Thank you very much for teaching.
Much of chess principle can be summed up by the old expression, “look before you leap.”
Change your thumbnail
ur a beast at teaching bro , you give private online lessons ? i just started playing like a month ago and need me some coaching
1st rule don't move a C pawn don't work for me cuz I'm a king's gambit player 😅😂 must figure something else 🤔
Can you please make a Sicilian video for black. 🥺
I am having troubles finding the right sequences through analysis.
King to d1
Igor, can you make video on how to play the Sicilian defence with black?
Very good points Igor. I would've moved that Bishop & lost my Rook too. A great lesson 👍
Best chess content on YouTube with lasting profound concepts that don't rely on memorization.
I really enjoy the videos you do that go over principles. I feel like learn a lot more than your other ones. I enjoy your gambit videos as well but videos like this cover a broader range of the game. Thank you for posting great content!!
That funny because in your last video on the bIshops opening, its all about the F pawn! 😀
Thank You Brother.🏅
When you watch a video and see all the errors you and your opponents made earlier this morning 😂😅. Proof I need to make a purchase soon enough, I'm liking what the grandmaster secrets is offering based on the description on the website 🤔
Carlsen and Nakamura are the worst players ever in the chess history.
Your right 2 moves thinking ahead is good . My error is I try to think 10 moves or more ahead and I end up making the same blunder I was supposed to avoid. Just overthinking can be fatal . 2 or 3 moves I was much better
Absolute right, most lost caused by a blunder or eror, more than opponent's trap
Me playing the bird opening,💀💀
would you recommend king's gambit even though you sacrifice f pawn?
I have herpes
i actually dont really agree to not using your queen early. got bullied alot by a 1500 player which played well with pressure from bishop and a queen (im 1000)
Best chess teacher on YouTube. Cheers! 😃👍
