♛ Find GM Smirnov's chess game shown in the video in this blog-post - chess-teacher.com/middlegame-...
In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov teaches how to find the right middlegame plan and how to develop your attack when there is seemingly no attacking plan possible. He shares with you the golden chess rule by illustrating his own game.
Most chess players do not know what to do after the opening stage is over. They don't know how to find the right plan in the middlegame due to the lack of positional understanding, which is exactly what you'll learn from this video lesson.
This is how GM Igor Smirnov and all other grandmasters, including Magnus Carlsen, think during their games, and find the best moves.

This man is just great... Explaining the most complex game in the world in the most simple way. Just great ❤❤. Thanks a GM Igor Smirov Sir
❤ Thank you!
This is phenom. I've been playing chess forever and no one explained hunting your opponents weaknesses as well as Mr. Smirnov has!! 🎉
Igor is the best and a pleasure to listen to explaining the game throughout every move and probabilities. Keep up the great videos on opening traps. Thank you Igor 👍
I loved the “…No Social Justice Today” joke, very tasteful and fun. Keep this level of humor greatness coming Igor! It was my second favorite thing about the video besides the info.
- Develop a clear attacking plan starting by moving forward to opponent's half of the board
- Identify weak squares in opponent's position and occupy them to gain an advantage
- Prioritize placing pieces on squares closer to the center for greater impact
- Consider trading off defenders to secure a strong piece on a weak square
- Capitalize on having a strong piece on a strong square to apply pressure and increase attack
- Strategically push pawns to create openings and force trades to secure advantageous squares
- Utilize the concept of weak squares to infiltrate opponent's position without sacrificing pieces
- Maintain control over strong squares defended by pawns to further dominate the board
- Plan and execute piece maneuvers to attack effectively on opponent's half of the board
Excellent summary, thank you!
And induce or provoke weaknesses liek Magnus Carlsen does
- Become a GM
My humble games are better than they used to be. This is a direct result of your videos. Thank you!
The best thing about this tutorial is that you didn’t just gave us the position and asked us to find the best move (like solving a chess puzzle) instead you continued for few more moves which most chess channels lack. Please bring more content like this. Huge respect from India 🇮🇳
At my level, I have been looking only for weak pieces so far, not the weak squares, because there was nothing on them! ☺️. Great video again; thanks!
Weak squares allow you to make your pieces stronger by occupying them
That’s one of the easiest/most direct ways to think about it

Chess feels so beautiful and satisfying when a simple plan executed step-by-step delivers a smooth win. Well done.
Yes!
nice video, I really prefer this kind of content, and even your last joke
Igor , thanks For all the Lessons
Went from 0-1300 in 3 weeks , thank you For your Work , i Love your Videos 🥰
Vey helpful! Thanks Igor!
Very informative!
Another fantastic lesson. Thank you Sir.
Wonderful explanation about how to manage the middle game!! Thanks a lot!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very helpful video!
Nice and clear, thanks!!
Great content!
“ … instead of enjoying life.”
You always crack me up Igor. Thank you for the many, many years of free chess videos! 🙏😻
"No social justice today" caught me off guard ngl lol
Thanks for this video. I've been working on my middle game and I find myself in those positions where I'm just not sure how to proceed. Your video made it finally click. Looking forward to putting it into practice!
Thank you, great content!!
I love this channel. Very helpful. Keep it up man. Great jokes. Cheers.
Quality content!
Very instructive, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
@5:25 "Your opponent's suffering. You're happy. No social justice today" 😂
Great video! You explain it very well!
Thank you!
That last joke was 🔥 lol, I am internalising a number of your rules, it is helpful.
Wonderful explanation...
We can as well notice that the central lock set the black bishop powerless and Igor mostly manuevered and advanced his pieces on light squares deeming the bishop useless
You need to do a follow up video on the stonewall since it comes with a built-in middle game plan to put a knight on a weak central square as a part of a devastating king-side attack. I started learning this opening recently just through youtube and have been playing it with a lot success. The middle game strategy is quite easy to learn, natural moves, and the opponent has ample opportunities to make silly mistakes, and it can be played with both colors. New players should really take this middle game rule to heart and then learn that opening.
Great vidio, igor, thanx
Gonna watch it again and practice this. Thanks man.
Maybe one more time...
Gracias.!!!
Been doing this for years but often see something shiny and off it goes into heavy traffic.
“No social justice today” 😂One of your best quotes! Haha
Superb video. Loved the ''no social justice today'' joke!
As an 800 elo, every once in a while I will magically get out of the opening without dropping a piece and then run full speed into the "what do I do next" brick wall. Usually I just throw a knight into enemy territory to see what happens, but this video is finally something I can understand!
Also I just had a brilliant thought - if I'm doing this find-and-occupy-weak-squares deal, my opponent is probably doing the same, I should at least see if there are any weak squares on my side of the board and consider doing something about them.
Amazing video!!!!! No I mean literally I am flabbergasted by the easiness
Best chess Coach !!!!!!!
Can you give us a video about defending?When I attack I always win but when I defend I always lose
That was an excellent positional game. Very nicely done, wonderfully exploiting the horrible move f6, punishing the breaking of Ben’s law: Never play f6.
Awesome!
@12:40 "your opponent has other weak spots that you can take advantage of with greater effect (eyes, throat, nose, solar plexus, knee, groin...)" 😆
Thank you Igor for this wonderful lesson of chess!
Glad you liked it!
After black 1. ... Rxc4 and 2. Nd2 , how the best white respon if black respon with 2. ... Rc5 (not 2. ... Rc6) as in this video ?
May be someone in this channel have an idea ?
Brilliant.
Very nice sir
could you please shar those couple of moves, after which your opponent resigned ?
Surprised you didn't mention you have a passed pawn on d5 if you take that square with pawn, and then discuss why it's hard to keep or advance
how to choose between rooks like in the video you played rfd1 instead of red1(igor 2853 vs ahmal 2684
Wow... this just blew my mind!
Now we only need to know the golden middlegame plan of mikhail tal to understand how to prepare sacs and combos with antecipation.
Lots and lots and lots and lots of calculations
Say no more! Here's "Mikhail Tal's Rules To Brutally ATTACK Your Opponents!" - czcams.com/video/GUmbBl77j0E/video.html
@@GMIgorSmirnov I already saw the video but didn’t understand what is the golden rule nor how to know the critical moment to sac and how to make sure our sac is correct. Could you explain it please? Btw your videos are excellent. Thx.
Hi from denmark and thanks for the lesson, at 11 min 25 sec after black rock c5, what about: 1) rxf6 check, kxf6 2) rxc5, dxc5 3) knight d5 check and u win a pawn, would u say this is a draw or winning for white?
After the check, the King goes to g5 and he can win the pawn back
It makes me very, very sad how I can never seem to get my pieces to coordinate so nicely as this. 🙂
11:35 "If you're a proud member of the urination..." DOH!
With this thinking system , can we beat Stockfish NNUE or other top engines? Probably, they don’t know this … 😂
After i watch this vid it changed my
Chess games im now better than before.from 800elo to 2400elo you are the best!
In 1 mounth?
Hello gm Smirnov are you on lichess
"No social justice today." 🙄😄
at 6:17 why did the opponent not play Rc5 to challenge your rook and your center? That would have been much better than the passive Rc6
Which course do you explain this in more detail?
This concept is explained in more detail in the GM Positional Understanding course. You can find it here.

Nice
RCA always has the most bang for the buck.
❤❤❤❤

I won 6 games in a row after watching this video. Going for 7 now lol
Bf7 ;)
1. e4 e5 2. Be2 Nf6 3. f4!?
I don't usually comment but this is great
😮
hello igor nation
Why not Rd1 pinning the pawn and making Nxe5 possible?
In that case ...Nbd7 equalizes.
Why in the world did b play f6? That looks like a horrible move, anti-positional. Doesn’t g6 look better? Put the pawn on the opposite color as your bishop, keep the Knight out of f5, and above all follow Ben’s golden rule.
At 6:18
I wonder why the black didn't retreat the Rook at c5 instead of c6
3rd😊
First
I don't get the whole "no social justice today" comment, and I was really enjoying the video before that. Please keep politics out of things. This is supposed to be about chess.
I didn’t like that either. I had to play it back because I couldn’t believe it . This reinforces certain ideas I have (not my ideas , Reuben Fine’s ideas) about the creepiness of chess .
Lighten up
The opposite end of the spectrum is regularly injected into media where it doesn't belong. It's understandable to not enjoy it but it's really not a huge deal by comparison
How humrous you would be irl
can't tell if this is a joke
