Yasser is just such a likeable person that I wish this guy was my uncle or something :)

[@matthewcowan2755]

Yasser is the Uncle Iroh of chess. Thank you so much!

[@BuddhistProdigy]

Best series on KZbin right now

[@guitarist405th]

i love yassers voice. it's so calm and soothing to the ears. i want him to read me a story lol

[@demoniak95]

Yasser is like a talking teddy bear. Love him

[@ph6560]

@Chessbrah I have a modest request to Yasser and Chessbrah. First, all previous and following videos by Yasser in this educational series have been awesome! I've personally learned incredibly much from these videos. However, regarding King safety I'd be very keen on learning more about various positions and ways to position your king and pieces to make out a solid defense for the king. E.g. in some Sicilian structures there could be many direct and upcoming threats to the black king, yet there are some good ways to position the black pieces to respond to these threats. The above is just one example of a typical structure where there are (typical) ways to defend the king. I'm sure there are many other typical structures where Mr. Seirawan could share his vast knowledge regarding common formations and structures to defend the monarch. Would it be the slightest possible that GM Seirawan make a "part 2" of King safety?

A wonderful lecture as always, anyway , i would like to tell something about the word " fianchetto" , many people pronounce it - fianchetto - or in english pronoounce " fianchato", the right pronounce about the word - fianchetto - is : fiankatto (english writing to pronounce Fianchetto (italian) -> fiankatto (english) , you must to pronunce the double tt . This is the right pronounce of this word.

[@yozo294]

i click for the thumbnail smile everytime xD

[@kursatosmanoglu6888]

When is the next live session please? This is awesome already but I love that we can interact with Yasser online.

[@mf1110]

♟ No one can tell a story like Yasser. I could listen to him teach chess all day long. Lost for words. Love Yasser!!! ♟

[@bumpinugly4985]

Nezmetdinov is my all time favourite player, he would help Tal plan his attacks for major games. The two would also spend countless hours playing blitz in now lost games, imagine the tactics.

[@gw5819]

Thanks for the lessons! Greetings from Brazil!🇧🇷

[@Chris.M]

I feel what makes Yasser such an interesting speaker is his wider and classical education; definitely it's not only his incredible chess expertise.

[@juanricardogarciagarcia8106]

Increíble partida de ataque con una explicacion clara y precisa gracias dé Cd Juárez Chihuahua México

[@Chris.M]

Bring on more lectures please!

[@peytonsmith3771]

Great video Yasser!

[@zachariahstovall1744]

Love these videos

[@sooooooooDark]

a gamer trick to prevent accidentally hitting the wrong key: take out the key out of the keyboard (just pull on it a bit) and stick it back in afterwards (dont worry u wont break anything) im not sure if it works on laptop keyboards tho but its easy with just about any other keyboard

[@Forrestpeace]

fantastic analysis!

[@ltisenotem]

I listen to the audio of this sometimes, just soothing

[@sofuno863]

thanks Yasser!

[@PushyPawn]

Yasser's game analysis is second to none.

[@SahilSingh-ku9sl]

His voice is like a reciting a poem and we are in depth of the curiosity which is present in our universe

[@flpsnk4848]

I took more bows than in any other chess video, thank you Yasser

[@v8metal]

Yasser is one of my fav GMs :)

[@geitekop507]

Love it!

[@vincenzo6412]

Where can I find the pgn for this game?

[@Evilanious]

I got distracted by something while watching this video. I come back and suddenly the white king is all the way on the other side of the bord. Then I knew what kind of game it was.

[@saptarshighosh1998]

Were they are going live ?? And yessar already described this game in his saint Louis video , fantastic teacher !! !? But this king position lecture fits with this game , good work #chessbrah

[@smashu2]

At 51:45 what is black move against Nd4 !? i mean I can't see what to do imagine going for that variation from far way you would never think this line work.

[@CelestialBlueSapphire]

If nd4 just c5 and night goes back

[@aftermath4096]

his voice is just so relaxing

[@reluminopraha5948]

Nice attack. Though during a blitz I would get flagged 10 times.

[@lass7212]

Extremely underrated tutorials

[@bumpinugly4985]

No, Yasser, the fifth element is love...

[@davidwestwood6850]

Terrific lessons, even if elementary.

[@matteovrizzi]

David Westwood actually that depends on who the lesson is aimed at - the concepts are rather complex to me (beginner/intermediate)

[@davidwestwood6850]

@@matteovrizzi Good point. Context/experience make a difference.

[@pitha.e610]

Yasser!!

[@Musicrafter12]

Engines actually seem to think that 26. ...Bg7 is the best move. I'm no GM, so it's not like I could tell you exactly why, but engines think Bg7 gives -5 while Yasser's 26. ...c5 gives only -2.5.

[@tai_af]

[@zbohemzvolen1346]

Mote Mr.GM

[@mu99ins]

You don't need a coach who has no idea on how to beat the competition. In fact, if he admits he doesn't know, he has no business coaching at that high level. .

[@TheUniverseExists]

At that level coaches are often equal or weaker than you. Coaches can help you with time management, identifying weaknesses, and keeping you accountable. Many successful people hire life coaches to keep them on track even though those people already make quite a bit more than their coaches.

[@mu99ins]

@@TheUniverseExists - Apparently, Polu wanted more than a life coach or blunder control.

[@MojitoTube]

Really For the third time 😒

[@jovanfilipovic5115]

Does Yasser remind anyone of Jeff Goldblum? They are like the same person.

[@Whiskypapa]

Omg when you say it.....
