[@Electronite1978]

When it comes to quality chess lessons on youtube this channels has the best content by far

[@sainirmith9869]

And Daniel naroditsky also

[@marufsarkar2960]

I Can honestly said that sir akobian is the Best Real chess teacher i have ever seen. Best !!! Best !!! Best !!!

[@pijusgreicius7025]

2nd best, but quickly becoming number 1! Yasser better watch out

[@alicirli8269]

ı have never seen so wonderful teacher like akobian. he is perfect. ı love hıs reaction such as aaahaaaaa :D

[@koenpalstermans9180]

A real respect deserving teacher. He doesn't make fun of other persons and he radiates discipline and the will to improve our games.

[@SyncChrome]

Var teaching us yet again! Awesome video.

[@queenie2311]

I just love the way he lectures. Very clear and challenging!

[@the0cool0guy]

Best teacher ever

[@KnighteyKnight]

Another excellent video. GM Akobian is a top-notch, charming player and teacher. For beginning to intermediate players, these lectures are a step above reading a chess book. The viewer can pause, which has many benefits, but also the question and answer format, absent from most books, seems a necessity to effectively learn. The broad range of student questions allows Akobian to thoroughly explain common pitfalls in each position and to cover some of the more basic knowledge so many students may have been lacking for years.

[@429kostas]

i so much agree with you.He is a great teacher.He produces positive energy and it is so pleasurable to watch his lectures

[@eshuphoenix]

extraordinarily awesome teacher

[@MrTonysuico]

You are the best tutor GM Akobian...!!!

[@lucperon9600]

I was told not to focus on watching games but I should read them and practice. But I find my games get better after watching each one of these, all the small details and explanation is great. I love that the kids in these videos make me feel like an idiot, but they have a good teacher haha

[@vpnithyanand1873]

Same here. Kids are so sharp.

[@longcastle4863]

A high level of analysis - excellent learning video

[@easyasscake]

Great lectures as always Var! :) Love how he calls it stealmate xD

[@Thaumazo83]

The "steelmate" is actually an unbreakable position, as hard as steel :D

[@lumisomi8835]

at 21:50, what is "6th rank pawn" called? I couldn't get it.

[@DSlulz]

Wedge pawn

[@lumisomi8835]

thank you :)

[@MicroControl33]

Great Video! How is the pawn on the 6th rank called again? I could not quite understand it.. Thanks!

[@sarkastisksallad]

a wedge pawn - pawn wedge

[@MicroControl33]

Thanks!

[@vivekvenkatraman9416]

Akobian is extraordinary teacher

[@markphc99]

Show us the medal!

[@greatestquotes8424]

Best chess lecturer I ever seen! Akobian is just BRAVO 😅

[@janjanssen3136]

Akobian is great. Good teacher

[@FCM844]

👍thx Akobian

[@chessiskingful]

every move you do i learn something you are a good teacher

[@kendall6699]

Var is the man

[@JimJWalker]

Excellently played game. Re6 is a killer.

[@surajshrestha8491]

students sound is not clear.

[@longcastle4863]

How about at 18:06, Rg1. If he moves the Bishop, then checkmate Qg7++

[@longcastle4863]

So the Bishop is trapped, taken by the Rook, making Ne4 even less desirable for black.

[@MrJosuax]

cute lessons with GM AKOBIAN a great guy. awesome

[@NeverInterpreter]

Does he say "stealmate"? :D That word actually makes some sense, you've stolen the mate from your opponent lol.

[@Thaumazo83]

I think it's steelmate :D

[@yuvibitter]

16:19 wouldn't Qd5 be better? You're threatening to take the knight, and after it moves you can actually win the pawn on b5

[@teamchess501]

yuval bar-on Be6 I think

[@whatever0mate]

So sad he didn't win US championship.

[@Kimtaehyung-we2fg]

Congratulations sr

[@mustafasuljic4800]

19:39 Q E4

[@blackxjohny1196]

In 35:42 you can play to G5 immediatelly. Than you lose not, stalemate.

[@easyasscake]

f7 wins then

[@isolatedgirl]

excellent and great idea .......

[@rainerausdemspring894]

In German we call a pawn on the 6th rank near the king a "Sargnagel" = coffin nail. This is much better than "wedge" 😃

[@yeshaskrishna557]

Hey guys do you anyone on youtube who explains about chess like gm akobian

[@mehdielabdaoui1955]

There are a lot but he explains better

[@yeshaskrishna557]

thanks

[@mehdielabdaoui1955]

Yasser Seirawan is good but explains too fast

[@yeshaskrishna557]

thanks

[@JaBarge303]
