As a beginner (~1,000 Elo), how would you recommend splitting my learning time? I try and do some puzzles every day, watch videos online (you, Agadmator, Danya, Levy, Rosen, etc) and play matches online. Should I focus more on playing and studying the games afterwards or focus on openings, tactics, etc? What time control(s) would you recommend at my level?
Can you tell e4 or d4 ??
Sir can you give me plz
Hello Grandmaster Smirnoff, I wonder what you feel is your best achievement in chess, firstly as a player and secondly as a coach. Thanks for your wonderful videos.

Wanna teach my 7yrs daughter to master the chess but she's just statred learning the basics. Can you please provide content for kids too?
will be much thankful for it.
I do enjoy these more unusual trappy videos; they're not the 'run-of the-mill' traps that some videos show, and they're always entertaining. P.S. I love the cat.
Can i get the super pack?
Nice 👍
Is ur gift is still exists?
Whats the fastest way to win if you're playing whites and your opponent is mirroring your moves ?
The trouble with all if these options is that my opponent never plays like he’s supposed to.
Great content as always!

The Black Lion and The El Shad are very similar Black Defenses: can you describe when you commit to one or the other, thanks.
Sir can you please explain the pirc defense in detail and the traps in pirc defence. Any books do you suggest for pirc defense.
hello Igor, 50 years ago I ve played chess for the last time try to win from my father, now I am 63 yrs old and I ve found a neighbor whom is a good player. I ve try to beat him but its soooo difficult 🙂 how can I win from a pro ? when I have a nice setup he just give some pieces away and destroyed my setup. Kind regards Antonie
Ba3 or Ba6 why not covered??
Ba6 if Qf3 then Nd7
Hello Igor, I have always wondered (playing white) if it is a good idea to move Pa3 early to preempt black's bishop or knight from moving there in the future. Would a very early move there change the game significantly? Or would it be a mistake to move there until necessary?
Sir am from the Philippines and I enjoyed your lecture. How much is your super pack books , or your tutorial?
The absolute best and most giving chess teacher on line. Thank you, Sir.
Nice video
at 10:30 you say checks are over – but what about Qg5+ for white?
