The excitement in your eyes at 13:08 was really beautiful it showed that Chess is truly your life passion. You were 100% in flow. - Yacob

Very impressive explanation. In depth and yet simple enough to follow. Thank you!

Fantastic lesson, thanks Irina. Can you please talk about "time" (not the clock but the ability to play moves needed) in one of your videos? Good luck in your upcoming tournament.

I second this, at times I will be playing such good chess but at the cost of my time, and I get flagged even in a completely winning position. I usually don't get too upset, but I think some videos could help:)

@@vvBoost I think he meant "time" in the sense when you are in dynamic positions and need to act fast if you don't want to lose your initiative/the momentum, etc :)

Bb3 looked to be a correct answer to move Bf5. Irina you answered a good cliché. “When you see a good move, look for a better one,” Emanuel Lasker Good luck in St. Louis American Cup. I’ll be watching. A good lesson on the importance in understanding key squares

The main problem is the application of what we learn in our own games!

Really love the recent influx of high quality videos. You really deserve much higher view counts. Keep at it, Rome was not build in one day. In some of your videos the concept giving up material to improve your pieces came up. Something I, as an amateur, find difficult to do unless I see an immediate decisive attack. This kind of thinking about a position is really going to help me.

I don't think I would've considered pawn g4 for white, but Bg4 in that key moment did look thematic. Nice illustration!

Excellent video, thank you! Best of luck in the coming tournament!

Aaaaah, positional Chess, my only weakness! ...aside from diagonals and tactics. Thanks for the explanations! I love ALL Irina Krush videos!

Spectacular video as usual. Thank you!!

Love the videos Irina! Keep posting!

Thanks for another excellent video about an advanced concept. It's much appreciated!

This is the area of the game I don't understand well. Thank you for discussing this!

Hi there, Irina! I just wanted to let you know that I really think your instructional chess videos are top notch. You give such a masterful performance explaining each concept! I really look forward to your videos as I always learn so much and I am quickly able to incorporate the new strategies and techniques into my games. I almost feel like that I should be paying for these lessons, as they are your life learning that you are generous enough to share with us. Thank you so much!

excellent - very useful / applicable strategic thinking

Wonderful insights! Quite sophisticated concepts but something to work towards for sure.

Thanks for helping elevate my game!! 👏

Thanks for another great lesson, Irina!

Krush it in St. Louis! This vid was great. Magnify

Great vid coach 🤝

Very informative, thanks

Thank you, Irina.

Seems in changing positions, important squares can change from light to dark. Fun.

another great lesson!

Thanks for this video. Good luck at the America's Cup. I hope we get to hear about your games.

Wonderful!!

Thank you GM Irina

Hi Irina! You should evaluate Hikaru v. Vidit game from round 2 of the Candidates tournament! Vidit attacked both sides well, would be nice to have a deeper understanding of that game. Thank you!

Congrats Irina for the excellent video lessons (and the sexy background...)!

What a storyteller. Wow

amazing teacher

Total click bait😂 u Totally teased me with the Fabulous hair thumbnail.

Very nice background btw it works well

my favorite grand master ❤❤❤❤

At my 'intermediate" level, I would have probably responded f3 to the Kc5 move. Then black could have exchanged the Knights and I would have captured with fxe4. Then both black bishops would have been limited, and the push of black pawns on e4 and g4 would have been stopped. Then, I would have tried to deal somehting on the f and h files, while trying to bring my last Knight to f5 and castling on my Queen side. Having tested my f3 move, the computer didn't punish me, but gave me a +0.4 instead of 0.5 if Qc2 or Bd3 were played, what is not so bad for my lever I would say. Thanks for this other instructive video that adds another arrow to my archer kit. :)

I thought she sounded more intelligent than Botez, Cramling and Levy. Just checked her rating: she is better.

Please drop another video, its been a month and I'm having Krusher withdrawals!

Tempi love it. Thank you for the great lesson. Keep up the great work!

💎💎

do you know if all the squars were the same color on a chess board it would make no difference to how the game is played 🤔 you would just have a bishop called the kings bishop and an other called the queens bishop,

Interesting background, although it might not be doing your lungs any good.

These kinda videos should not be free. I feel like I’m stealing paid content…

13:04 The Wooden Shield

White's objective is to form the en potence at once and afterward to establish the grand left oblique, while the minor crochet covers the right wing against the adverse major front echelon. The minor left oblique refused is inferior to all strategic fronts directed either by the right or by the left or by the right refused..

Stay beautiful Irina

0-0, which would have been my first thought, wasn't even something to think about. Your idea, Nf3-d2-e4, was wrong in detail but it was on the right topic. Completing development by castling and connecting the heavy pieces wasn't even on the right topic. That makes your point forcefully. In this position you were fighting for the White squares (and in the most precise manner, or with one of the two accurate options) or you were nor doing anything of value.

Just learn by computer, chess is a dead game.
