this is the best chess lesson i have ever watched so far, really instructive

[connorswartz]

This has fundamentally changed the way I think about chess. Wow, thank you for this

[ixman]

Learning chess strategy from someone with a Russian name feels somehow right. It's like getting pizza from a fat, happy chef named Mario. You probably made the right decision.

Paused at 9:40 - Queen takes Bishop, checking. If Rook recaptures, Pawn forward checkmates.
If ignored, Black's option is to block the Queen's diagonal with King's pawn, and then it's mate by Queen.

Brilliant Igor, this whole video was like reading book, which filled with whoa ideas.

[imansaade]

Excellent tutorial! But, more than that... Igor's method of explaining is excellent. I was missing some understanding and this really helped to fill in that void! Thank you!

[Griffdogg]

Knowing roughly how to do something is a good start. But even more importantly WHY it's done is where the real magic of the game starts for us. You're the man for helping the rest of us poor fools bridge the gap in our flawed approaches. Best chess advice I've ever received.

Good video
Everybody tries to teach us noobs a lot of different openings and technical stuff wich we cannot remember straight away

Whats the point of learning openings if you dont whats their purpose? Why would i need a specific opening if i dont learn how to use it to create ideas?

This video is great because it teaches u the mindset, the way to think about things, not a dumb formula

Thumbs up

[nanaki]

[sorroren]

Man just changed my whole perspective of chess

[actionjessie]

Excellent video Igor. Ive been playing chess on an app in lockdown with no strategy research but figuring out my own and im up to battling
AI difficulty 8/12 (approx ELO 1680) and im completely stuck! This should help me a bit (side note-thanks for saying "he or SHE" in the video its nice to be included as a player instead of always hearing HE).

[breal]

Beautiful video, thank you so much. It was SO much more thoughtful than other videos

[davemccormickmusic]

Igor....you are the man!...this is the best lesson a player could ever get thank you sir!

[Mariki_kiki]

One video and I’m already seeing chess so differently! Immediate sub 🤩

[dannya]

I never would have thought to sacrifice my queen in order to secure checkmate. Really useful to know.

[MosesSifuna-hq]

Thank you so much Igor, I've been following you lessons and buying your courses and my rating increased from 1800 to 2200 in 9mths, that's just magical

[smeagol]

Thank you! Of all the videos I've watched, this is the best I've seen for teaching strategy.

[HassanRaza-bbiq]

Qxd4 definitely that's is really beautiful checkmate with the pawn man actually I thought this variation you asked otherwise I would straightforwardly go c takes d4 thanks man that's helpful

[zarrelformes]

My person of interest loves playing chess lol. And now I'm trying fo impress him, but also wanted to learn chess

[kstar]

Try to attack and if it doesn’t work you bring the least active piece into a better square (Chess strategy) 9:43 pawn takes bishop Wow! I didn’t expect that sacrifice with the queen in order to achieve checkmate really smart move!!
