Happy Birthday GM Smirnov. I want to thank you for a sudden jump in my rating from 1480 to 1740 (over consistent performance in recent tournaments) after having watched some of your (free) videos. The main principle stuck to my head was "develop with a threat". That itself was sufficient to change the way I think before each n every move. Thank you, and wish you your best ever birthday with this message!

Which video u watch?

[@kavinkishore7027]

Happy Birthday GM Igor Smirnov. Your courses always benefit me.

[@Christiaan1958]

Smirnov is a born teacher!...anybody that doesn't come away with something he has learned from Smirnov is just not a chess player...and will probably never be a chess player!.

Brilliant ☺️

Great video. I can’t believe you don’t have double even triple subs and views. I follow a few channels some popular some not as however this is definitely one of the best- PERIOD-. This tells me it is the algo and advertising / being known. I know there are literally hundreds of thousands of potential viewers who would watch if they know you existed. So getting your name out there is important. Not saying your channel is small it’s still known and not small but can be easily 3 times bigger

8:22 Queen sacrifices are alway a pleasure to make and watch🤠

[@chandrakalajshetty2441]

Liked your video 👍

[@zmo1ndone502]

Around 5:25 to 5:52 I saw queen G6 pawn X queen G6 then Rook to h8 King f7 but I didn't see the horsy going g5 for the mate. That's Nasty stuff to me yet pretty simple for A GM once they see the variation.

Happy Birthday man, all through I’m 8 months late

Happy birthda

[@psychepeteschannel5500]

In the 6:45 white to move, I think there is a short combination to either checkmate or win the black queen for a knight. Qg6 check, nf5 attacking black queen. If black queen moves, its checkmate - white Qg7. If not, white nd6 takes black queen. Really interesting. Looks like a quiet position, but both sides have immediate gamewinning option within 2 moves.

[@ilpojarvinen2452]

Wouldnt pawn on f7 take the queen on g6

[@KF1]

Best kind of instruction, this. Not _what_ to think, but _how_ to think. P.s. I don't care if it's your birthday. Happy Halloween!

[@andrewhawkinson3410]

How to become a GM?

[@Educpurposes79]

16:46 Hi GM igor smirnov! I have 1 question what if the took go to the bishop? What now

[@user-hx4rc1hy2c]

If you’re asking what happens if they try to threaten your bishop on a4 then you simply defend with pawn to b5

[@saydtg78ashd]

@@user-hx4rc1hy2c that is a bad move, it locks off the bishop and block its retreat way. Better to defend with the queen

[@user-hx4rc1hy2c]

@@saydtg78ashd White has no clear way to take advantage of this. After b5, black can follow with a5 and kick the rook back, with the idea to eventually break on b4 after some preparation. If the queen moves instead, there isn't a clear way of kicking the rook (the a-pawn gets blocked) , and white will be given the chance to quickly consolidate and put pressure on the b-file.
