Going to buy a leather jacket when I hit 2000+😉, Happy Thanksgiving

One of my new favorite chess channels. The format is super informative and objective. Thanks Irina....you got a new fan!

Thank you for your generosity in sharing your knowledge and experience about chess. Your videos teach me how to think strategically to increase the value of pieces when they work collectively. You make this world a smarter and more fun place. You are truly a gift to the chess community.

i really enjoyed this video. Although you say that this video is for players 2000 and up I think this topic is very relevent for me (fide 1800) as I recognise having positions like these where I can't put more pressure on the weak point I'm already targeting and must find a new plan and sometimes I'm struggeling with that. I recently discovered your channel and I'm really enjoying the content. You are an excellent teacher that can explain concepts well in an engaging way. Thank you very much.

Excellent video! I really struggle with plans like h5, h4, g5, g4 in positions like this. (Playing too conservatively comes with old age!) But it’s necessary to open up that 2nd front and give your opponent more chances to go wrong.

Yes congrats for the 10000! Well deserved, great videos.

It's incredible that this level of instruction is available for free. Superb.

Thank you Irina, a really instructive and interesting video. I used to own your chess harmony series but lost it because my hard drive failed. Many of the examples on there were similar in style and interest to this video. Looking forward to the next one!

Thank you very much.

so insightful! ty Irina for this instructive content

Wonderful analysis, very instructive. One small point, however, which relates to human versus computer evaluation. At 16:03 Irina says that the computer prefers hxg3 to her move Qf5. I think that might have been due to a limitation of the depth of the computer search. If you let Stockfish search deep enough -- say to depth 50 -- Stockfish decides that Irina's move Qf5 is actually best. The moves Qf5, hxg3, and Qh6 all, according to Stockfish, give Black a small advantage, although White can hold the draw until her subsequent move hxg4 (which, according to Stockfish, Irina punishes perfectly).

Great video! Thanks very much!

Love it. Very good.

Thanks. Instructive video as always

This is beautifully insightful and clear

I like these longer videos :)

Great video!!

Thank you very much. Wish you the best for the channel

Great new refreshing chess content, thank you. I was amused by you referring to the computer as 'He' !

Appreciate your content

25:14 thank you for the life advice as well

Your best video so far. Nice jacket too!

Good video. Thanks

Advanced chess strategy is what we neec

Thanks for the video

Great game❤

Fantastic video! Not just from the strategic perspective but tactical as well. Love your short 10 minute videos giving us new ideas to improve our game. I think longer videos every once in a while works great too!!

WOW and that youngster did play pretty cool also! what a video these are so great.

Very interesting and helpful. I've played many games where I'm pressuring a front to the max, but have no way of proceeding forth, especially in IQP positions

hope you get more subs ,very good 👍

Enjoyed that game and your analysis very much, thank you Irina. And I agree on the g6 move, doesn't matter what justifications the engine has for giving away the h Pawn that's our Castle it needs walls.

I like your videos, keep it up

Not only for advanced players! Players like me open second fronts all the time! It didn't work out according to plan on this front (opponent made a simple counter move I never thought of) so I will have to try on another front.

Irina is an awesome coach.

Hello mam! For quite some time, I have been fascinated with the game Kasparov vs. The World, where so many ideas and strategies came together to battle a genius. I know you had a big role in that game, and would love to hear about it from you. Thanks for all the effort, cheers!

Yes! Advanced Irina!

Surely the next goal is 100k! 😀

Nice video and jacket also😅

23:45, that Rh8 Qh2, g2 would have been a very nice way to finish off. Oh and that's a fine leather jacket too!

You got your leather jacket!

cool jacket :D

I listened to this while doing something else and it was fun trying to imagine the board. Dunno how people do that, it's very hard to keep clear

As happy as you can be winning an 11 year old. 😊

Would you challenge me for a game of chess?

Hello Irina!

Maybe she speaks another language. In mine, the computer is a he and the screen is a she

Who's going to watch the video then I heard it's only applicable for players rated 2000. I'm stuck at 400 😂 moving on I am.

You could improve by getting a better microphone. Content is great.

excellent content
