[@GMIgorSmirnov]

Hi Manish, Here is a video about Caro Kann that you will like. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6vJhGB_qpyDbtE

[@BobChess]

7:05 This quote is so sharp and strong as much as the quality of the video.

[@vesper0078]

Классное видео!

[@walterbrownstone8017]

Awesome tactical lesson.

[@godwishnyambuya9737]

Thanks my Master. On Tuesday I attended an OTB Toni and I came 3rd I used 3/4 of the openings from you master Igor

[@mafykarim7315]

Hey coach please make a video on how to play against the english opening.

[@DonDef88PL]

I've been watching your channel for almost a year and I'm really impressed by your vast knowledge mister Smirnov. Although my current rating is sth between 1600 and 1700 so still so much to acquire I really do appreciate your engagement and I'm quite pleased to have discovered your channel. The problem is although is it quite easy to watch your channel and understand its content and all of these traps you present I do not have an idea how to memorize them since there are so many of them. Finally I would like to find a way to use them somehow in my chess games which of course still are not that good taking into account how much of my daily time I sacrifice to learn sth new. Any suggestions? Thx. Rafal.

[@omardiab1043]

Hey Igor, I discover your channel 8 momths ago, and I did made a huge jump in my rating about 300, I also watched your old videos 11 years ago which are full of tactics and secret chess principles, I like how you organize the same pattern in different openings to show the idea of the trick not to ask us to memorize the move, I like how you never teach dubious gambits, only tge refutation line, I have to say one thing your new set seems very professional now but I miss the cat behind you and the part of your library on the wall, brfore it was like sitting with a friend on thier house and learn a massive entrtaining chess lesson. Much love and respect.

[@khinkyawhtwe8603]

Brilliant lessons. I love it.

[@Tartarin269]

[@runguardian6868]

e6!!

[@prashantkumar-sf2un]

I wish it were so simple as told by u.....

[@gdtutorial]

Hi

[@Danthemanfromny]

8: 33 can white castle there. Isn't there a rule one cannot castle through check?

[@60403tnw]

how can you castle if the blk rook is there?

[@timay16988]

As long as ur king didnt take the hit,,,

[@pauls5745]

as Black don't be afraid to play the Sicilian! 2... e6 still gives a great dynamic game and stops lots of White's e4 tricks, easier to play than the immediate knight moves

[@DedaBr1]

What if after the castling black don't play rook to b7, but instead queen b6, 8.30 time of the video

[@shekharonmail2007]

Quick question After 12:31 minutes why can’t black play pawn G7 to G6. Threatening white Queen.

[@habibehghafari7367]

Dear Igor, I really enjoy watching your videos and I have a request. Please make a crash course on vienna opening and also please make a video about grand prix attack because both of them are somehow popular(not very popular, but anyway) and there is not too many videos about them on KZbin.

[@computertricks3061]

8:22 : I thought that white can not castle queen side in this position

[@speedking434]

you're right, thats a mistake in the video, its not allowed to castle there

[@killerpaja03]

Why not

[@speedking434]

@Elias Berrouka Thank you. I am really thankful for your correction. This is really new for me although my rating is 1200

[@computertricks3061]

@Elias Berrouka Thank you for your answer, i have never encountered this before.

[@ohyeahohyeah1071]

My reaction to all of these: 💀

[@gdtutorial]

Hi

[@yelpxr9483]

why?

[@chessnoobb2613]

Me too (all forgot)

[@vkgamingff06]

Sir, why don't you become the world champion

[@cryptonite8495]

2:35 "You just won a free rook." Not exactly. The knight is trapped.

[@judemorales4U]

Additionally, when you move k to c7, NOW it is blacks move. Black can capture whites queen on a4. Right?🤪

[@killerpaja03]

Knight for rook is always more worth

[@killerpaja03]

Also bishop on e3 can save that knight

[@ahmedabouelfadl7553]

iam a beginner in chess... do chess really makes you smarter and think better?

[@prarambhaaryal6621]

God damn these are fire i will watch after my exam 😭
