Suggestion for a future video: how to win a winning position. I observed that you often stop the analysis after one side win material. I'm not proud of it, but I've sometimes lost while I was in completely winning position. What's your take on this?

[mkn]

Puzzle moves: Nf6+, gxf6, gxf3+, queen is forced to capture rook and lose the game.

[owenkellogg]

I blundered my queen today. But I had watched this video yesterday. I remained calm and came back to win.

Best chess teacher on YouTube, hands down. Thank you so much !!

[Hailmich]

Always great content presented in a concise manner. Your comments regarding mentally resigning after losing a piece were spot on and something all of us can do by at least fighting on since most of us are not playing Magnus Carlsen! Thanks Igor!

[mcbigswig]

Great advice, as always. Just had my opponent blunder his queen, even though I think he still had a chance for coming back due to superior tactical position, but chose to resign as soon as he blundered, without even waiting to see if I would catch it.

This is the best chess channel on YouTube. GM Danya is 2nd. 🎉🎉🎉

Chess is wonderful.

[daleproctor]

Most chess videos make me want to give up the game. This game gives me a bit of hope so thanks for that! LOL

[張謙-nl]

For the quiz, I guess Nf6+ is the right move, since the queen is controlling the f8 square, the king cannot run and is forced to play gxf6, then white can play gxf3+, with the discovered check to black's king. Again black's king has no square to dodge and is forced to play Qxg1+, then Rxg1 will be checkmate

[loukhamvarunsingh]

Move the black square bishop to E3. Queen takes your bishop. Take the black knight with your G2 pawn. If the bishop takes your pawn defend the check with your rook.... Or if the queen takes the pawn defend the check with your rook

[frankbeerbaum]

Nf6+ gxf6 (only possible move) gxf3+ Qxg1+ Kxg1 and white has a Queen against a Bishop and a pawn!

[matthysuys]

I have made so many bad resignable blunders early in a games, but actually won them because my opponents blundered later… Hahahahaha!

[brianbeattyphotography]

enjoy the honesty. "don't worry, you/they will mess up again." haha! so true to stay into the game though. I've won so many games that seemed hopeless at the time.

[robertreid]

A good video, but perhaps not what I was looking for based on the title. Kind of clickbaity. Hope your opponent also blunders and what to do after you blunder isn't exactly stopping blunders. : (

Still, a useful video.

[michelvoortman]

When I blunder I often don't notice a long diagonal from a bishop or queen and one of my pieces get's captured. Is there a way I can train to avoid this? I mean it's a pretty dumb way of losing a game and I really don't like it when I am ahead after the opening fase and I give it away like that in the middle game.

[yetto]

Kf6+ black pawn takes knight, pawn takes Kf3. If queen captures the rook you can recapture it since it has no piece to defend her.

[HelooMinecraft]

I have a trick which wins material also ba3 which results that now white rook is protecting the checkmate threath and if queens takes the rook you can win 2 points of material after trading those all and also a solution nf6+ and gxf6 is forced then pawn takes night gxf3 is a blunder since bf3 is mate

[oldhamegg]

I think the occasional jab at Gotham Chess is hilarious.
