When you think to yourself that you're going nowhere in life, remember despite being a GM, Igor and this channel had to wait years to get the recognition it deserved.

[@gregwallace6159]

And he still deserves more recognition

Demn, in just two days of applying the 3 rule from this video, it improve my defense by at least a dozen fold. Never had a chess video that improve my game so much in such a short time. As a chess teacher, Smirnov is a real deal.

@30:06 Even in warfare, I'm particularly thinking about the Soviet Union and World War II: counterattacks were attempted against German lines repetitively even though such attacks usually would be considered failures in offense. But what these counter-attacks did is kept the Germans from removing troops from the center and North part of the Eastern front to help out the southern front offensives an operation Blau. So it is on the chessboard that if an opportunity to counter-attack exists, at least one you can find, you're giving yourself the best defense. Most sports teams can't win without some sort of offense. I don't know how many baseball games are hockey games are basketball games or football games where team can win without scoring any points.

[@20majza]

Excellent presentation!

[@TheMagican614]

Awesome just plain awesome

[@s.litingsesangtam9268]

It would more good if you could make another video of The Art of attack in chess!

[@renehenriksen1735]

Mr. Smirnov>>>>> I´m sorry if I´m being obnoxious when asking you what would have happened in that game between Walther Browne(White) and Paul Keres(Black) where Black chases White´s darksquared bishop on g5 with h6, if White after Black is trying to exchange bishops with Bg5 where White´s bishop is on h6(I think), plays Qg3? The idea is to create an absolute pin against Blacks king and White intends to play h4 to exploit the pin.

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

+René Henriksen It is a good question. GM Igor has a busy schedule but I will help you. Qg3 seems threatening but Black can simply get out of the pin with Kh8 and White is forced to take on g5. Further liquidating more pieces. Prasaadh | Student Support Officer

Grand Masters have an incredible ability to evaluate positions. Yes, I have problems calculating accurately sometimes when I am tired. Like forgetting to analyze a check or incorrect visualizations along the way. But my major problem is evaluating positions. Like after you calculated 100s of moves, most of them don't wind up into material win or clear advantages. And I am having a problem evaluating positions. As you can see, Igor simply says, "Let's analyze each move. After Bh3, black plays Qe4, and black is ok". In a fraction of a second he has evaluate Bh3. I would be like going deeper and deeper into the analysis. And still might find it little bit unclear.

[@tejasbinu5025]

I think it's more of just having a feeling of a position. A baseless feeling. Some positions just seem scary, some seem playable, all before any sort of actual analysis. This doesn't necessarily depict the reality, but we do have these opinions (more like snap judgements of sorts or intuition). As beginners we tend to sort of abandon these feelings and try to solely depend on logic, calculating more and more looking for some sort of definitive way to say that "this is bad for me" or "this position is something pleasant for me" while completely missing the point. What these grandmasters have under their belt is years and years of experience where they kept making snap judgements of positions in the end of their calculations and slowly getting better at making the right snap judgements. Calculating more deeply is no doubt very important, but on the base of it lies this intuition, and when you abandon that, the calculations are never enough to be conclusive.

[@Achbiter]

fantastic is all I can say

[@dynamicchessclub9175]

Nice video!Very instructive!

[@johnnyralte5985]

at 1:06:27 Dont u think Qh5 will be more dangerous? what will u do then? Would not be wise for black to play Rc4

[@Osiris261]

12:54 black moves d7 to h3 sacrifice the bishop to open white position. ?

[@jumpingjackflash3292]

37:14 way back at 5:23 ish this Be2 move could have been used way back when the pawn was coming down which in turn put white in this constant defensive position . in my opinion there was much wasted time trying to figure out things that never needed to be figured out.

[@kavinkishorex-bi9477]

[@bradburns491]

At 39:00 why can't black just pin the queen to the king with the rook on g4??? This stops the queen moving to e5..

[@bradburns491]

​@Prasaadh Srinivasan At 39:00 why can't black just pin the queen to the king with the rook on g4??? This stops the queen moving to e5.
