PRO Chess League 2017: Akobian vs. Sebastian Mihajlov - GM Varuzhan Akobian

[@akshaysvnit91]

People who help some post game presenters gaining million views have no idea that the real learning is down here... Akobian is simply the best chessteacher ever.

[@himanshupremiy]

Such a brilliant and a very patient teacher.. I could hear his lectures for hours...

[@KillianDefaoite]

Very elegant game, Mr. Akobian. Thanks for all the awesome lectures recently.

Akobian : what the Idea behind this move? Akobian : what the piece aren't developed? Akobian : how can you assess this position? Akobian : Which squares are weak? Akobian : Why is d4! good move, because.... " Great Job! ;)~

[@V8SupersQirreL]

This is: CHESS! So keep it in mind, don't forget: The name of this game is CHESS!

[@Thaumazo83]

A true d4 man :)

[@RickOShay84]

"... the smyslov-pertrotian-akobian. You play this more often than either of them." 0:52 😂

[@Zonnymaka]

The Petrosjan variation turned into a Benoni but the positional rook sacrifice turned the game into a Petrosjan-like masterpiece!

[@macemaker123]

Keep the lectures coming!

We love his presenting ideas in very simple and more understandable ways....making chess sweet like a song

Akobian, the best chess teacher. Lots of position and tactics on the 64.

[@johnkom2339]

Yes I had seen Akobian's earlier video about the Smyslov system. That showed how to play against a Black plan of ...e5. .But I was wondering how he would respond to Black's other major plan of ...c5 which makes more sense than e5, I think. Here Akob. pushed immediately d5, while I noticed that Smyslov himself did not push d5. To my mind, c5 makes a lot of sense mainly because White has lost time with e3 if he plays a later e4.

Var must need more sleep. He is always yawning. But hey, no one is perfect. Brilliant lecture as usual.

Better is g3

[@MasDingos]

Var is so arrogant! He just doesn't act like it. 16:40 the hand gesture, 'a really really strong... fix here.' I wonder what he'd say about the evaluation if he weren't being diplomatic :)

[@Narmanostardoll]

William Mccormicx English is not his mother language so he is just trying to coordinate his sentences , not trying to be diplomatic or something
