Handle the King's Indian - GM Varuzhan Akobian - 2015.10.25

[@santosozhang1985]

It is rare that a GM can explain cleary and patiently the ideas of every moves to children... you are the best teacher.

[@Mainscout]

Just want to say that I’m still playing this system years later because of this video.Var is the best

[@tedtrippi7958]

yo Var is killing it with all these back to back videos, so much great content

[@nonyabusiness3605]

I am an adult and learning a lot through this series. Thank you!

[@Ed2754]

You have wonderful teachers but Akobian is one of the best for all levels of players. Thanks again to your Chess Club.

[@loulasher]

GM Akobian has the best smirk in chess. He cracks me up every time, he doesn't have to say anything or try to tell a joke.

[@daniloleggio9839]

One of the best teachers out there, it was an honour to play with you during your streams

[@Znmann]

great. more videos by Akobian

[@rawdaaljawhary4174]

GM Akobian is so patient and encouraging with the kids!

[@SpaceCadet4Jesus]

GM Akobian is so patient in teaching, so skillful in playing and so poor he wears shirts with holes. He needs a big raise.

[@CAJEKILSHAH]

Best chess teacher for a reason - Akobian..

[@crepo2000]

Thank you M.Akobian .. very interesting !

[@johnpedraza629]

akobian is by far the best lecturer in the saint louis chess club

[@calmarcalmar]

wohooo Akobian is back !

[@MichelNabil]

remember kids, its called "Steel mate” xD

[@williamcampbell2001]

This really is working for me thanks a lot

[@HeshmiY]

That one kid who says nimzo when he asks what opening it is

[@augustsbautra]

That second blunder exploration after ~16:00, very educational, would never figure this out on my own.

[@MrSilencetreatment]

25:40 several ways to mate, but which one is the easiest one...... I prefer the bg8+ variation. It looks much cooler

[@rhpmike]

+Mr .Rodriguez Me too! In all of the lines I kept saying Bg8, but none of the kids ever picked that option :( !!

[@MrSilencetreatment]

HEHE, ;-)

[@Grandcapi]

He is of the best.

[@trevbarlow9719]

Bloody brilliant! I play the KID and the Pirc, so it's good to see these attacks coming.

[@woudwilder8324]

Don't play Pirc or French defense, it's very weak in the center...

[@TypeRob]

4 years later and I still don't recommend the PIRC or French Defense. Time hasn't changed much in chess

[@devanshraizadavaid3197]

I am curious as to how much the children understand the GM lectures. Not hating or anything, but Sereiwan is really the only GM who has a style that I feel children can quickly understand. Akobian's lectures have helped me sharpen my opening theory, but how much do children respect theory?

[@lenks0]

+Raizada R Kids love theory. Young kids can be annoying to play when a GM has fed them theory. But play something like 1.c3 and they have no clue ; )

[@wunknownbeatbox7980]

Ik I'm replying 6 years late, but one of the kids spotted bxd6 and bh7+ winning the queen at 8:25. Some of these kids will be masters before puberty lol

[@danielk1661]

What can I play against King's Indian if I play e4 as white?

[@rajandwivedi1427]

best teacher

[@AufdemLaufenden777]

Thank you so much!

[@riccardodeamicis8485]

what about after 1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 g6 3 Nc3 Bg7 4 Nf3 0-0 5 Bg5 h6? Which one is the best continuation?

[@syyhkyrotta]

Var = Epic!

[@MrSilencetreatment]

What if after Qh5 black plays Qa5+ instead Re8?

[@virajkumbhar6500]

best chess teacher :-)

[@tomsmith4452]

hahahha 9:40 he rips off the shirt :D:D

[@GymChess]

+Tom Smith Yup, he needs to get it fixed or buy a new one.

[@ankitkalavagunta8951]

It's funny because when he says 'He made a mistake' he's looking at himself thinking 'I also made a mistake by tearing my shirt'

[@HeshmiY]

Tom Smith qp

[@MrBehavior323]

27:40 lmao. Confidence is key

[@archerchessacademy4376]

Sir actually if we play bd3 and he immediately capture bishop on g3 but can we do

[@sasodiarvas]

5:47 well,the kid is not wrong :) if he takes the knight he opens the file for the h rook and if black recaptures the night, queen h7 checkmate. but of course checkmate is better though :)

[@musicguitar]

GM Akobian so chess strong he ripped his shirt.

[@sinsinter7814]

give two bishops for a queen? is it that genial idea?

[@sebastianshandy658]

Any player higher rated than 1300 will be able to win that 95%

[@Thaumazo83]

White's king locked himself in the "steelmate" cage :D

[@muvide]

After 4.Nf3 black can still play a gruenfeld with 4...d5.

[@abdultawwab7668]

Discovery check :))

[@bunderbah]

+Abdul Tawwab he says something wrong in almost all of his lectures

[@Fia-p9f]

22:00 pembokaan india raja.sistem smyslov petrossian

[@αγησιλαοςμυρτιλος]

teacher dont feel bad about your shirt

[@sgerodes]

Awesome chess school! 👍 Terrible intro music.🤦

[@KF1]

I rather like the music, myself. Definitely great channel

[@gtrmusic69]

It's hilarious when he discovers the shirt is torn. Too bad he never discovered the sweat stains under his arms.
