[@marufsarkar2960]

I Can honestly said that sir akobian is the Best Real chess teacher i have ever seen. Best !!! Best !!! Best !!!

[@pijusgreicius7025]

2nd best, but quickly becoming number 1! Yasser better watch out

[@koenpalstermans9180]

A real respect deserving teacher. He doesn't make fun of other persons and he radiates discipline and the will to improve our games.

[@KnighteyKnight]

Another excellent video. GM Akobian is a top-notch, charming player and teacher. For beginning to intermediate players, these lectures are a step above reading a chess book. The viewer can pause, which has many benefits, but also the question and answer format, absent from most books, seems a necessity to effectively learn. The broad range of student questions allows Akobian to thoroughly explain common pitfalls in each position and to cover some of the more basic knowledge so many students may have been lacking for years.

I just love the way he lectures. Very clear and challenging!

[@SyncChrome]

Var teaching us yet again! Awesome video.

[@lucperon9600]

I was told not to focus on watching games but I should read them and practice. But I find my games get better after watching each one of these, all the small details and explanation is great. I love that the kids in these videos make me feel like an idiot, but they have a good teacher haha

[@vpnithyanand1873]

Same here. Kids are so sharp.

[@MrTonysuico]

You are the best tutor GM Akobian...!!!

[@longcastle4863]

A high level of analysis - excellent learning video

[@greatestquotes8424]

Best chess lecturer I ever seen! Akobian is just BRAVO 😅

[@vivekvenkatraman9416]

Akobian is extraordinary teacher

[@FCM844]

👍thx Akobian

[@easyasscake]

Great lectures as always Var! :) Love how he calls it stealmate xD

[@Thaumazo83]

The "steelmate" is actually an unbreakable position, as hard as steel :D

[@janjanssen3136]

Akobian is great. Good teacher

[@markphc99]

Show us the medal!

[@JimJWalker]

Excellently played game. Re6 is a killer.

[@MrJosuax]

cute lessons with GM AKOBIAN a great guy. awesome

[@chessiskingful]

every move you do i learn something you are a good teacher

[@MicroControl33]

Great Video! How is the pawn on the 6th rank called again? I could not quite understand it.. Thanks!

[@sarkastisksallad]

a wedge pawn - pawn wedge

[@MicroControl33]

Thanks!

[@kendall6699]

Var is the man

[@rainerausdemspring894]

In German we call a pawn on the 6th rank near the king a "Sargnagel" = coffin nail. This is much better than "wedge" 😃

[@whatever0mate]

So sad he didn't win US championship.

[@Kimtaehyung-we2fg]

Congratulations sr

[@surajshrestha8491]

students sound is not clear.

[@NeverInterpreter]

Does he say "stealmate"? :D That word actually makes some sense, you've stolen the mate from your opponent lol.

[@Thaumazo83]

I think it's steelmate :D

[@isolatedgirl]

excellent and great idea .......

[@smaklilu90]

Akobian likes Queens Gambit opening

[@rkchemistry5141]

East OR West Akobian is the Best

[@blackxjohny1196]

In 35:42 you can play to G5 immediatelly. Than you lose not, stalemate.

[@easyasscake]

f7 wins then

[@anilosorallo9612]

Nice depth, master...

[@nazrulkhan6897]

you are great sir ,ur so deffarents than others,

[@longcastle4863]

How about at 18:06, Rg1. If he moves the Bishop, then checkmate Qg7++

[@longcastle4863]

So the Bishop is trapped, taken by the Rook, making Ne4 even less desirable for black.

[@lumisomi8835]

at 21:50, what is "6th rank pawn" called? I couldn't get it.

[@DSlulz]

Wedge pawn

[@lumisomi8835]

thank you :)

[@GymChess]

Finally lecture time again now that the Live nonsense is over.

[@mustafasuljic4800]

19:39 Q E4

[@yuvibitter]

16:19 wouldn't Qd5 be better? You're threatening to take the knight, and after it moves you can actually win the pawn on b5

[@teamchess501]

yuval bar-on Be6 I think

[@syyhkyrotta]

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kursatosmanoglu6888]
