He is brilliant with these kids. So humble and so patient. Keep up the good work, Yas!

This guy is soo chill, the ASMR of chess! I saw him in chessbrah and instantly liked him. I never learned to mate with knight and bishop; tried lichess studies and the "Triangle" or whatever trick there was but I kept missing it. And I got an easy draw (was winning all time but missed perpetual on me) against IM a few months ago irl xD. But on this video learned it ! No shame on learning with the kids!

its the "w" with the knight. you need. after Bh7 Ke8, you play Ne5, looks weird but bear with me. after ...Kf8 play Nd7+. Blacks only move is Ke8. After Ke6 Kd8, Kd6 Ke8, Bg6+ ... you have the same position but 2 squares across. then repeat the position

The method for this checkmate taught by GM V. Akobian on this channel is superior, in my view.

[@TexasSizzle]

So awesome. Bravo Yasser!

It seems to be working fine for me. I'm able to play the video all the way through.

" Yes , young man ! "

Yasser is a GM yeah yeah. Everyone knows. But what a gentleman he is! 🥰

[@Idontunderstandchess]

its so funny when he says:" your knight and bishop are perfect" and the kids say:move your bishop

[@MrSabachtani]

I imagine Yasser playing Carlsen and the great One keeps saying: That was a brilliant move! Except for one tiny detail! If I ever should win a game of chess, I shall say that to my opponent too! You're my hero, Yasser!

[@brantfordchess576]

7:56 the kids are correct Bh7 is the right move and I am sure the kid meant Ne5 after Ke8 lol

[@Tikorous]

Remember that time you said Yasser didn't know the endgame he was teaching a class on? Good times.

The video is corrupt. It stops before the 5 minute mark.

I finally was able to watch it after restarting my browser. Reloading the page and changing the resolution wasn't enough... Might have been something with my version of Flash, which is a beta.

[@RedGaming23]

Maybe rename this ‘bishop and knight checkmate’? Good lecture for beginners all the same though 👍🏻

[@lj23heat]

This guy is to funny lol

[@eddiesmurfy]

1. Creepy sounding old man. 2. Room with no windows. 3. Little boys.

[@jjbing3]
