Ok. But after this video, how can they be called "UNKNOWN"?
Who is your favourite chess player of all time?
Keep it coming 👍 💯 😎
Igor vs vishy or carlsen? Who will win?
I remember seeing Hikaru fall for that trap live in the b3 variation with the "tactic" Bxe5.
When did you become a GM?
Thank you.
Igor, thank you for all your work and videos, really appreciated! 🙂
My question would be: "How should one prepare for an opponent, given that we know their usual opening repertoire?"
I love your videos. Make it 200,001 subscribers
how sir I am stuck at chess at rating of 800 plz try to help me
Love your content.
You are doing really great Grandmaster Igor, no greed of master classes that much is enough for us , appreciate your hardwork , Thanks you 👌
Hello Igor, I appreciate what oyu do for the chess community.
My question is:
Before you were a grandmaster, how did you make the jump from advanced/expert to master level player?
I am 14 and currently stuck at 2000 elo, I would like to become a IM/GM in the future.
How do I get past this barrier?
Igor – I am a huge fan of your teaching style. It helps me understand some of the concepts without constraining creativity. My question to you is: What do you do when your opponent throws a wrench in your opening? For example, what happens when you're doing your typical development, but they make a pawn move that stops you from developing your pieces in a coordinated and timely manner.
Igor – amazing content, all the time. My question is : do you have any advice or drilling techniques for curing time trouble addiction? In OTB game I almost always want to use too much time early on and have pressure later, even though I plan not to do this before each game ! Needs kicking out through some exercises or psychological strategy I believe.
