Igor, I just love your attitude and dedication to teaching. And of course your Yogi Berra like sayings. Certainly, the grass IS always whiter on the other side. You have reignited my love of a game I learned at 10 years old than just dabbled with for 50 years. Since meeting you virtually, I have dedicated myself to the game and your tenets, improving my score from 800 to 1425 in 1 year. Admittedly a good beginner, no more, but the fun of the game has been recaptured. Thank you.

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

Awesome to hear that from you!

[@Maxichesspower]

Igor you are the Best!

Puzzle: Nxd7 Black is about to promote a pawn to a queen while taking the rook or just taking the Bishop on g5.

좋은 영상 제공해주셔서 감사합니다!

[@JulianFernandez]

nice one, my man Igor. Thanks.

[@kledmass]

Awesome! This dumb common pin always confused me. Thank you!

[@kingberzerk]

super useful and instructive, thanks a lot.

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

Glad it was helpful!

[@joeoleary9010]

"Zigzag baby!" That's what you say to opponent when you *crush* his pin dreams!

[@sunilchristian3430]

Thank you!

[@NasserHasen-b7h]

Well done

[@FrankBeerbaum]

Nxd7 Bxd8 h1=Q Bxc7 means one rook for a pawn

[@FloydMaxwell]

why not Bxa7 ?

[@nathanrobinson4212]

@@FloydMaxwelldo you mean Bxd7? That gives white the option to play Bxg2. The pin is still in place and you’ve simply traded pawns. With Nxd7 the white bishop is hanging under a revealed attack. If white takes the pawn on g2 they simply lose a bishop.

[@FrankBeerbaum]

@@FloydMaxwell If Nxd7 Bx2, white looses one piece: Qxg5

[@SheenaFranklin-d4p]

can you share me information or any link how I can get very basic knowledge about this work. I am recently PC user .😃

[@paulmaul2186]

Thanks. This move annoys the hell out of me.

[@khobbashim5191]

in 6.Zigzag no need to defend pawn just attack to queen and bishop by knight what about that move?

[@NalanArumugam-eh6op]

Nxd7!!

[@Dev19158]

What if they take?

[@Black-Jf]

Nxd7.

[@KadirBaki-t5c]

Nxd7

3:20 double horsey protection protocol

[@markb-vj8ir]

That's putting DEES KNIGHTS on it! 🤣

[@starseed855]

And dont forget the BBC, big black center ;)

[@mschoenen]

@5:41, doesn't pushing your h pawn forward sacrifice your g pawn because of the black knight?

[@5150mango]

I was thinking the same thing, but if the black knight takes the pawn at g4 then you can threaten with the rook and he really has nowhere to go but retreat

[@brynburke67]

It is a bad move because you play h5 and win the bishop
