Beautiful example of sacrificing material for piece activity. Great work as always.

Her hairstyle reminds me so much of Elaine from Seinfeld. Thanks for another instructive video, Irina!

Nice video. Calm and composed, just the way I like it. Very instructive.

You're good to give a shout-out to Ding... he's clearly going through a tough time right now. Perhaps that was in your mind too.

Definitely thought you'd have a lot more subscribers when I checked. Very instructive video!! +1 sub 🙌🏼

Irina is great inspiration!

I'm certainly getting used to the idea of giving up material for activity. I used to be so scared of losing even a single pawn, but I see the light now Thanks Coach❤

Feels like this video was improvised, but it served to show that you have great skills 😃 Good lesson, keep it up E5 is easy to see, the problem is to calculate enough to consider the move playable.

The awesome combination I see is your intelligence and beauty Irina!!! Keep the videos coming!

White position was totally dead. Three moves later all pieces are turning into monsters. Amazing

Beginners need to play more conservatively, experts need to play more liberally. (Something to think about)

Nice job! :)

Thank you for give us such amazing learning lesson

Fantastic video! Nice dynamic attacking game.

Thx Irina!

Nice one Irina! Very instructive, you should write a book on strategic concepts if you haven't done so already!

I can't pay attention to the moves without amazing bedhead.😂

The best take-away is to study the classics. Ding's e5 idea wasn't new. See the game Lasker vs Capablanca, Saint Petersburg 1914

Irinaaaaa❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Nice ! 👏☺️ 200th like 🎊😀

I wandered if Ding Liren saw all these lines (and with this depht) when he made the sacrifice or perhaps he trusted his intuition or feeling about the position....

3:15 Three different ways? dxe5, fxe5, Nxe5, Qxe5. I see four different ways.

The same thought crossed my mind. Though you are correct, ...Qxe5 is so obviously losing after Nxe5 that it's not worth considering. Still, Irina should have said something like "three reasonable ways" or "three ways that don't lose outright".
