2004 World Open: Akobian-Wojtkiewicz | Play Like a Pro - GM Varuzhan Akobian

[@rafakukua2784]

Maximize the push Caleb!

[@isaaccraft5977]

At @12:24 would f4 be a way to defend h2 and create a bind on e5 square. Idea is to limit counterplay.

[@1A7806]

Thanks sir

[@guitarsri]

Akobian . Please show Caruana vs Akobian US Championship 2018 next.

[@chessdoofus]

A game where he was in deep trouble throughout and his opponent just happened to make a disastrous blunder at the end?

[@fhadenal-mutairi3294]

welcome Great Akobian again!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we are missed you.. I hope to be a one of students!! ;(!

[@PDJMDS]

"In this game I managed to win a nice positional game...". Yep, that's Var! :-)

[@lesblack8014]

PDJMDS Better then myself who won a nice game against a1500 rater player after he blundered a piece.

[@saleembaba5144]

More Var!

[@bartoszfajfer631]

What about 2...Rd1+ followed by Qg1 in that chess puzzle at the end guys?

[@csonidoful]

Same I calculated 2. Rd1 Ke2 Qh5 Kf2 Rd2 Kg1/g3 Qg5 followed by mate after Qg2

[@vinodhmadhusudhanan2720]

You are the best teacher.......

[@evi9740]

vinodh madhusudhanan I agree.

[@DrReginaldoRamos]

Being objective isn't arrogance... And, GM Akobian is an incredible teacher and a very good person!

[@ahmedsalim3915]

how is that the game from 2014? and the player passed away about 10 years ago?

[@Phurngirathaana]

2004 It was a sott

[@ahmedsalim3915]

i know it was 2004 but he said 2014 0:08

[@JimLink]

@@ahmedsalim3915 very suspicious

[@parththakkar9383]

Wow adi, you're so clever!!! (Dhamaal reference)

[@Jsmarket14]

akobian is the best

[@bujarmurati3004]

18:32 that woman in the audience is not amused

[@Phurngirathaana]

Looks like Vladimir Bolsen is a very strong Grandmaster

[@V8SupersQirreL]

I wish i could present MY games to an audience beating Nakamura or so! But this will never happen. But i can dream...

[@fezan173]

Your dream isn't so easy

[@DemBlizzard]

Poor Hasjiesj

[@Tod_oMal]

I have the feeling Mr Akobian is teaching in a bit of an arrogant way, which it does not feel so pleasant? Or am I just a bit too sensitive?

[@michaelvanzyl9418]

Bad Informeiyon I think for stronger players it might seem more so than weaker players but I think it is more a teaching style🤷🏼‍♂️definitely understand where you coming from though

[@johnanderson6690]

No, you´re not. As stated in the previous comment, it is a teaching style. Some students respond better with a dominant teacher, others with a more relaxed teacher. If you don´t feel comfortable, maybe your style matches better with a relaxed teacher.

[@V8SupersQirreL]

He plays very solid, keeping straight to the rules. He is not innovative. If you play on that level, you may be a bit arrogant, what i don't like is what he does all the time. He is scratching, cleaning his teeth with the finger, yawning, i would get crazy if he was sitting in front of me having dinner! I mean -he knows there is a cam - why does he do that things?

[@isaaccraft5977]

@@V8SupersQirreL disagree. Very innovative player to be able to implement such deep ideas. At 6.55 tell me you wouldnt play a normal move like Bd3. His play is phenomenal. And: not so easy to have no personal habits! Besides, I don't understand why you are even looking at him. Should you not be paying attention to the analysis and look at the board.

[@V8SupersQirreL]

@@isaaccraft5977 If you think so - ok! I don't look his videos anymore. Of course he is a good player, if he is a good teacher may be we both don't have the same parameters. In the end is the question: Do i like him or not, me - i don't like him. No subject to be upset.
