I would move Qg3 threatening CM & protect pond
this is the best chess lesson i have ever watched so far, really instructive
Absolutely
This has fundamentally changed the way I think about chess. Wow, thank you for this
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.
đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łomg I laughed so hard

Exactly how he made me feel when he said his name đ
Sorry but russians did not create chess
Yes they did, google âGarry Chessâ
Man just changed my whole perspective of chess
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.
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.
well well, a genius.............
Brilliant Igor, this whole video was like reading book, which filled with whoa ideas.
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
I never would have thought to sacrifice my queen in order to secure checkmate. Really useful to know.
Why not sacrifice pawn on D5 instead of the Queen though? Since the objective is to eliminate the Bishop attacking our potential Checkmate.... let me know.
@@Irondrgntp what are you talking about? Do you mean c3xBd4 at 9:24?
@@olemew yes but at 10:00
@@olemew both time frames work I guess
@@Irondrgntp when Queen takes, it's check and forces move into check mate. If you take with the pawn... Te2 perpetually check into draw. Or white makes a mistake, pin tje queen, white loses. The only possibility is queen takes the bishop.
Thank you! Of all the videos I've watched, this is the best I've seen for teaching strategy.
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!
Great to hear! Iman.
you are the best chess teacher on youtube. Thank you for your coaching sessions!
Big respect for this video and I'll definitely check your courses! This vid is just too good, big respect.
Very Helpful. Thank you!
My person of interest loves playing chess lol. And now I'm trying fo impress him, but also wanted to learn chess
Beautiful video, thank you so much. It was SO much more thoughtful than other videos
Glad you enjoyed it!
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
This is such a helpful video. Thank you!!
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).
Been watching gothamchess and he got me off of only playing computers, they donât help at all because theyâre coded to crack at a certain move and it doesnât help you build skills after a certain point
Same
Don't thank this bigot for perpetuating binary pronouns. It's not 1960

@@hayd7371 are you being ironic?
Igor....you are the man!...this is the best lesson a player could ever get thank you sir!
Please make blueprint of your all courses and how to use them in game.
that is true what you said in the end, one of the best videos on chess i've seen
Great video, thank you!
This is a great video. One of the most helpful videos I ever watched about chess.
Good video. Honest and addresses what beginners need.
Thanks for the insights!
The idea of capturing a piece, removing the defending black bishop comes to mind quickly, but looking only from a good material exchange misses another important aspect to a move: what square can you have your piece occupy? Let the Queen capture the bishop to occupy a central square and deliver a check, forcing black to remove the check, preventing counterattack or any better defensive moves for the incoming checkmate.
This is really helpful. I just started playing chess.
One video and Iâm already seeing chess so differently! Immediate sub đ€©
Nice!
Nd4 was played as it was also a defensive move. It defended e2 preventing the rooks penetration with check on white king.
Great lesson, I appreciate it highly
Awesome lesson. đ
Great practical lesson again!
Iâm so glad I found this!

@@a3london because my parents taught me chess (im asian)
@@4coen you're lucky. i wish my parents taught me something. it would be great if there was something i was naturally good at because i was forced to do it at a young age. due to my personality that would force me to not want to give that up and i'd try becoming the best at that thing.
ofc, not too late for me, but kids who focus on things are always going to be better at those things even later in life.
Least active pieces are called NPCs in the real world. Sadly, regardless of where you put the NPC, they are still NPCs.
This the best strategy.
I always looked for it, finally I landed here.; )
What I found is Qxd4+, where taking the Queen leads to b6#, and blocking with the Pawn or Queen still leads to mate
That helped me immensely, thanks.
Thank u soo much for these videosâ€
Great video!
Professional way of teaching chess nice
To say about this video content, 'simply brilliant'...!!!
Try to attack and if it doesnât work you bring the least active piece into a better square (Chess strategy) 9:43 pawn takes bishop Wow! I didnât expect that sacrifice with the queen in order to achieve checkmate really smart move!!
I'm proud that I could figure it out,Despite coming back to chess,my mind worked just fine
I relised that the bishop basically stopped our plan to checkmate,so it needed to be removed
The two pieces that could do so were the queen and the pawn,So I noticed that taking with the queen led to a check,meaning it forced them to take and since the piece wasnt defended by the queen but the rook therefore you could now play the pawn move to win
thank you v much !
Absolutely superb... Very instructive.... Thank you.
Queens gambit anyone?
yup!
Yes!
Trying to beat borgov to
Gonna make borgov my bitch
The only reason Iâm here
Thanks so much for the fantastic video. I definitely learned a lot from it.
On the topic of professional players keeping their thinking a secret:
I get that they're being competitive, and need an edge, but wouldn't their play only improve from letting other players fully analyze it, find and exploit their weaknesses?
In the short run, they'd lose some games, but in the long run you learn a lot from it. I think they're making a mistake, keeping it guarded too closely. Losing games will teach you more than winning. And learning is winning.
not that i know much about chess but i think that the reason for that may be because the 'reward' does not outweigh the 'edge'. it's bold of you to assume that they didn't think that action through. i'm sure there are some who share their plays and weaknesses but i'm not sure whether it's as rewarding as it sounds. you might have to look into it yourself if you desire a more informed response.
@@TechSupportDave I didn't assume they don't think 'that' through ('that' being not sharing their thought process/strategies publicly), I asked broadly, why not?
And I appreciate your response, but if I was searching a more informed answer, I wouldn't be broadly posting in YT comments 5 months ago. lol
@@acsmith1771 Chess is not infinite and yet it is much too complex to speak easily without a board, pieces, and someone who can comprehend the magic...
the best edge is to make sure your opponent has no information... Even in chess.
Teacher to teacher. Donât say how easy it is. The people who donât get it âlike međâ feel bad about themselves. Great video đđ
I started to read your book grandmasters secrets. Im excited to see how far ill push my rating
Omg TYSM!! This tutorial helped so much, chess became so much easier
Glad it helped!
Create videos like this based on thinking please,a lot is needed
Merci !đđ»
9:42 white can play Qxd4
If black plays Rxd4. B6 is check mate
If black plays b6. Qxb6 is check mate
Great video. Usually I just did the CCA mindset per move. This gave me more of a strategy mindset per move.
CCA?
@@gtanz8475 - Look for, in this order, every move: (C)hecks, (C)aptures, (A)ttacks, on both sides of the board.
@@Emp6ft10in thank you
Great lesson
Oh my, oh my! did I just subscribe without being asked. đThen my dear Sir you that good
best chess beginner video for me so far.
I just do chess puzzles, I knew nothing about strategy... until now - this was amazing.
Noob
Noob
You are amazing!!!
Am helped thank you God bless you
I'm calling this strategy my "Igor - 2 Step Initiative" method.
I learnt what is initiative. Thanks
Best chess video, changed my game
always learn something new each video i watch
Great tutorial
This is truly amazing.
Thank you!
How can I find the rest of the last game shown?
This is excellent
5:28
You can move your pawn to B5 and force exchange of pawns, then move you queen to B5 and its a check, then move your queen to B6 and its a checkmate since the king cannot move up since the rook is there, and it cannot eat the queen or tha pawn since they are both gaurding eachother.
How is it a check when the queen moves to B5 after taking the pawn? the only way i see that move working out is if you move the rook B8 then exchange the pawns then move the queen onto B6
no the white rook can actually check and do perpetual or smth
Thanks mate
Great!
This is a great video! It has inspired me to post some chess videos on my channel!!
I've seen some of your videos. Very fun to watch!
Thanks to this video i increased my rating over 1000
Wow! amazing
By far the best tutorials ever
In the first position I would play Qh3 because Bh4 would just delay my plan by one turn, Rg3 would be pointless since I just saw the moves 1. Qg3 Bh4 2. Qh8 Qc7 3. Ra8#
For the first example there was a check mate that you did not mention, pawn to B6
for 16:17, can't you do G5 using the pawn, it attacks the bishop while being protected by the knight.
Thank you â€
Excellent sir
Thank you
Best video for learning how to think for every move and explained brilliantly.
9:36 I was thinking queen takes bishop and then pawn b6 mate
edit: yay, I was right
I sniffed a queen sacrifice @ the first example but I couldn't really see it was that one...
The move is sack the queen with Qxd5 with check. Black has to take with rook. Deliver check mate with pawn.
At 14:25 why wouldn't you move knight to c5? Wouldn't this move force the queen to retreat and give up their bishop? That seems better than going up a pawn from the queen what am I missing here?
Qd4 saves bishop
At 10:00, instead of sacrificing the Queen can't you just play B6, then black bishop takes B6, then A5xB6#? (not sure if I used the correct notation here)
That doesnât work, because then you donât have any support for the second pawn on B6, so the King will just take it.
@@joelslaskey7531 ah ha youâre right, i guess it does win a bishop though, for a net gain of +1 (for the 2 pawns)?
@@StmyD Yes, you do win a Bishop for 2 Pawns, but youâre down 2 Pawns at the end of that exchange. Plus remember the end goal is not to just win material, but to checkmate them. 1. Qxd4 guarantees you a win due to it being a forcing move.
this rose my rating from 400s to 800s instantly.
Iâm a beginner, and I donât really know much But I want to say that first strategy was beautiful.
I have a question is it good if we surround the king but leave two squaresEmpty so it becomes harder for the opponent to checkmate
very very good lesson
It is the best chess instruction .
Very helpful than you. ( instant subscribe)
Excellent sir Igonđâ€ïžđđ©âđ
i thought they should sacrifice the queen 2!
At 10:12 couldn't black take the pond because of the rule where if the pond dosent take so he jumps couldn't the other pond still take
mr.Igor , hope you are doing well , ۧ want to participate in your course how can i do?
The first knight attack on Black's rook is the best move. Because white's queen can check mate in next move
7:55 Cant white go Rd8 preparing Nc6+ and going Rd7+ winning the queen. If the rook is captured by the queen after Rd8 then either Nb5+ or Nc6+ wins the queen.
really nice and i mean it.
