Yasser's chess knowledge is amazing and man, his teaching style is soooo great.

[@peterbedford449]

We need more of this series. Can't replace the wisdom of years!

[@skyzenith5]

Wow that hour went by really fast I didn't even notice because the topic was too interesting. Thanks to chessbrah and especially GM Seirawan for lessons that actual chess students pay a lot for. Very instructive video and I am greatly anticipating the next ones to come!

[@yanair2091]

Yeah man, Yasser is amazing, whether he teaches a theory or tells the stories from chess history. He is of the right age to follow new developments and to remember old masters like Fisher, Spasky, Kortchnoy, Karpov and many many others.

[@DevN9007]

You need to start branding and titling these videos as masterclasses. You'll get more views if people know it's a lecture style video.

[@BrennenChua]

yep, some sort of identifier in the thumbnail

[@sambulls]

I agree, I wouldn't have clicked but for Yasser, but this video was actually gold, I kept looking at the title and what Yasser was saying in the beginning with cognitive dissonance. I also disagree with the titling efforts for chessbrah in general, Aman checkmate without moving pieces was badly titled

[@RaabStephan]

Agreed, throw them in a playlist

[@afbdreds]

Yasse and masterclasses are synonyms

[@TheSpyroMiner]

true

[@MrYassiness]

Yasser, this course and your pedagogy deserve a double exclam mark !! And I will add "as usual" :) I can't wait until the next lesson !!

[@modolief]

Yasser is _so_ good at this ...

[@119mars]

This is a great teaching format! Writing down plans and moves and comparing them to Yasser's really helped me create good ideas and understand the concept of space. I can't wait for the next one!

[@YouDonMessedUp]

Wow what a great lesson. Such a talented player and instructor

[@nickeldood]

This is wonderful. Can’t wait for more.

[@ChrisHanks_ColonelOfTruth]

fanTAStic lecture. thank you yasser and brahs.

[@kursatosmanoglu6888]

Great video. Great to see Yasser is back with lectures. These are treasure. Keep going please. Push them baby.

[@potamochere333]

Listening to this man is so relaxing

[@p1nesap]

Great video Yasser & good job Eric bringing Yas on-board.

[@Hoopvibe]

KEEP DOING THIS! THIS IS GOOD SHIT! yasser is explaining everything in a very nice manner and pace.

[@Richard-yx9bf]

These are the best. Gotta love Yasser lectures.

[@p1nesap]

Best Master Series on YT.

[@murraychannell4612]

Really like your explanations and style of teaching Yasser, I feel like you explain these principles in a way I can easily understand

[@kursatosmanoglu6888]

I watched over a thousand chess lectures and I am yet to see one where Karpov is the hero against Kasparov. Nevertheless another fantastic lecture by Yasser. Thank you chessbrah.

[@miki.1337]

Legend! Thanks for the content!

[@shcottam]

Thanks for the lecture Yasser!

[@MohamedMahmoud-ey9tj]

to be honest, when i want to relax and sleep, i put yasser vidoes, soothing voice and calm

[@Ham_BUDDY]

I really like it that you talk faster in those videos than in lectures. Much love from Iraq!

[@bryanferrier659]

Thanks for another great video Yasser!

[@coconutnut_]

0:45 his eyes shone when he said material XD

[@nuummuun]

Even if Seirawan talked about politics and would watch every day. I love this guy. Thanks, Master !

[@AtEboli]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

[@miliotisdim]

Thank you Yasser!!

[@nicolajslvsten4978]

would be cool to see some analysis of Eric's recent games by Eric himself :) :)

[@jjoaoll75]

like ever, is toooooooooooooooo nice! Ty again, Yasser!

[@ashwin.k4668]

Yeah baby!

[@AIHumanMind]

Your comment is correct

[@xavierpaquin]

What a time we live in when we can get this for free, thank you.

[@tron5000]

I love these lessons

[@drewmurray6545]

LOVE IT!!

[@kotoamatsukami_5832]

Always a treat

[@vitolarussa]

15:44 Nd3 and c5 with the dark squared bishop staying on the long diagonal just seems to dominate white's Knight on a2, as well as keeping white's light squared bishop a bad bishop.

[@rahulsbhatt]

Absolute gold video ❤️🔥

[@joergcruel7625]

awesome born teacher

[@600F3411]

What a gift this is

[@sambulls]

Yasser was in the top 20 in his golden days, was happy to see a fellow arab reach the top, puzzled me why he retired early. also if you're reading this Yasser you're an amazingly gifted teacher, maybe this answers my question, you explain really well. Thank you

[@georgewbushcenterforintell147]

I've always wondered what Islam thinks of chess is it haram ?

[@sambulls]

@@georgewbushcenterforintell147 I'm not sure, maybe some do? I'm a secular arab, that implies im not heavily religious or religious at all, but I can't imagine why they would thinks it's haram, if anythings it's har(a)m-less. Arabs are pretty asian in culture, as in, they appreciate hard-work, education, erudition, and art even... they hate laziness. Besides some judeo-christian, mostly judeo, views generally speaking... there's no incompatibility that I can see... and this addresses the arab world, not really islam. Islam is a religion, with many sects... so depends on who you ask. Generally Chess is well liked, rivaled by perhaps backgammon, but not loved as much as say Russians do, but I'd say maybe appreciated just as much as china does. After all, we introduced the game to Europe...

[@willlacey7621]

This is the fourth master class session right? Has there been more on twitch?

[@michakornbluth7279]

Yasser, you are amazing

[@helloimwill]

Push em baby!

[@william7yifans]

underviewed content

[@minch333]

This is such a great video from such a fantastic teacher... but I can't get over the fact that the top donor at the bottom of the screen is called fuksukswag lol

[@joelledix3085]

Best Chess teacher ever , like if you agree. Thank you to share with us Mr Yasser Seirawan !!!

[@TiagoFarok]

Yasser is the best chess teacher ever

[@v8metal]

Yasser

[@ethanelkayam4393]

Nice video

[@5.2mhz]

This is beautiful

[@user-ok2ur8hs7p]

best teacher

[@ffccfjsj]

i was like wtf gm means by space now i know what it means thanks for the explanation now i know what it means

[@chrisjeppsson2171]

yasser is my fav.

[@rossgeller422]

Gif't me more yasser

[@sipkauros]

Good vid...

[@user-ok2ur8hs7p]

my favourite one

[@philotimoc904]

Gold.

[@cannastartover1720]

I had the wrong idea about what space is. Your squares dont count, get the other guys squares.

[@falperes8754]

Ooh my

[@kursatosmanoglu6888]

When is the next session?

[@HaroldSchmarold]

Nice

[@hicow6075]

What if he playes g3 first? You dont get knight e6 cause the king is there. Someone good at chess please explain. Bishop f1 seems like a much worse move than g3 right away. 35:00

[@benoplustee]

tf you just won a game for Kasparov Kreygasm

[@D3adlykitten]

We love Yasser, most wholesome person in the world!

[@ChrisHanks_ColonelOfTruth]

after ...Nd3 why wouldn't white immediately respond with Nc1?

[@renantebelda5423]

love it!!!

[@andromeda4995]

What? An actual educational chessbrah video?

[@rypaz87]

Could the one thumb down on this video be from Garry Kasparov?

[@JPCPSeto]

Why the HELL does nobody ever show Karpov's wins over Kasparov?

[@peterbedford449]

That would probably be constructive too. People are taken away by Kasparov's sort of wild/aggressive play style and they are wooed by it and they like to show these daring brazen wins. But Karpov's games would be instructive too, as he is brilliant in his own way.

[@JPCPSeto]

@@peterbedford449 Exactly. Also, not a lot of people know that Kasparov only held a +2 score over Karpov, even though they've played over a hundred games. It's too bad hardly anyone wants to credit Karpov for his wins.

[@12jswilson]

Kasparov's total record against Karpov was something like +3-1=116 in slow chess. They drew a ton. Very few wins for either side.

[@JPCPSeto]

@@12jswilson Since Karpov had already beaten Kasparov 5 times in their 1984 World Championship match, that record can't be right.

[@georgewbushcenterforintell147]

At least I can find old karpov teaches chess videos .

[@BigGus87]

Beat Kasparov then! Jk you're a beast. I totally needed this lesson. Now I'll increase my rating by 700 and will still be under 2000. Lol Thanks Yasser

[@trevorsmith8950]

Yasser did beat Kasparov!

[@madmad4769]

based

[@jeffw1267]

I think Yasser needs to cheer up.

[@123duelist]

@dominic amoe Jeez, chill...

[@jcup4702]

Where else can you get a free GM lesson by an ex top player?

[@georgewbushcenterforintell147]

Friday's at Starbucks in victorville ca across from Costco

[@ademess387]

يسرررر

[@crazymulgogi]

Let's remember GM Seirawan was a super GM in his prime who could defeat the very best on a good day. Is it just my impression or is he too modest to show his own best games?

[@mzingisimbangata9148]

There are some games of his on the Sinquefield channel I think.

[@sausage4mash]

Yasser looks out of place in a neon bedroom a gentlemens smoking room would be more fitting with a big red leather chair and a fireplace in the corner, anyway brilliant lecture thankyou, you got me thinking in a different way .

[@ch.h.5532]

Could somebody please take away his horse tranquilizers? He speaks like he is falling asleep any Minute.

[@TheGPel]

I feel, like i should pay for this, where can I pay?
