Love his simple style of teaching that builds up to a complex point by the end.

By any reckoning, this guy is a terrific communicator.

My first reaction upon watching this lecture was that he talked way too slowly and his points were too simple. But then I realize that that is precisely what makes him such a singularly effective chess educator, even for non-beginners. Will definitely be watching more of his lessons!

Yasser's voice is so soothing.... I really like learning from him.

Everything is so neat and clean when it is explained by Mr Seirawan! Thanks for all these wonderful videos

He is filled with so much joy to talk about chess. What a wonderful gift to the world

At 12:35 I thought Yassir Seirawan was going to fly away.

Yasser explains the opening so beautifully. Truly an amazing teacher. Thanks.

It's almost asmr how relaxing sir Yasser's voice is.

Yasser's got the best lectures. He really does.

Great lecturer. Sense of humour combined with very useful information explaining why moves are made clearly without excessive complications.

Thank you so much for putting up these videos!! Yasser is my favorite!!

Excellent teaching! I’m sold on Yasser! Well done sir!

Deeply appreciative of this lesson; so insightful and kind. God bless! :)

I just learned an opening called "the accelerated dragon" from the Mr. Rodgers of chess. It's a great day in the neighborhood.

Wow, this was really deep and great analysis! Thank you Yasser!

Thanks Yassir for enhancing my understanding and analytical skills regarding positions especially in the combative sicilians!!!!

This guy put a lot of smile on my face. 😁

what a beautiful lecture truly an eloquent and highly effective teacher also very fun to listen to! thx!!:)

Always enjoy GM Seirawan's lecture what an excellent teacher!

Yassser-Best chess lecturer I have ever seen

I've heard that the Sicilian is a very combative opening but as a positional player I believe I can still make these positions work! Thanks Yasser!

I'm getting into the hyper dragon and this is gold. Every move is explained slowly. So good.

Excellent lecture.

this guy calms me down.

Never felt like he was taking a class in another place in a different point of time!

A wonderful teaching style and so much knowledge

Love when he say "This SPECIFIC position"

Yasser Seirawan is without doubt one of the greatest. he did did not win any world championship, but he always competed with the best of every generation. we are very lucky to have his classes, such good quality content.

Man the intro/outro music is great.

I like how he explains everthing.

this guys voice is so sophisticated. this is what i imagine a chess player should be like .

This man is amazing at explaining chess. This lecture is gold.

Great educator, doesn't leave any thing hanging in your mind. Wish I had this stuff when i was a little younger! Came from a poor background, never had the chance to play agains't anyone at chess (in the early 90s). Rediscovered chess during the pandemic. I'm glad I did.

36:34 yay

Great lesson, learned loads. Thanks!😁

Great lecturer. Reminds me of one of my favorite math teachers.

I love Yasser's lectures!

My favourite opening greatly explained

Love Yasser’s lectures

I am deeply benefited from it Thanks to you sir

I needed it to be more deep... He's the best teacher.

Awesome Instructor!

استاذ ياسر طريقه شرحه جميلة جدا هادية وممتعة

Love this guy

Yaz you the best!

Very informative lecture, especially the point about dismantling white's position after the move f3 with pawn to d5. Previously I would find myself stumped when facing this move since whites center appears so solid.

Thank you for this.

Great Video !!! Thanks very much !!!

making tough things look easy! Thank you

I like how he deliver

Thank you so much .

Not every GM at his level shares hints . Yasser is one of the best

Brilliant!

so far i played the classic dragon.. i ended up trying the accel.. dragon :D thx yasser

I don't understand why he didn't talk about getting the light square bishop out sooner for white !?! so you can go for that quick kingside castle for white..

1.25 speed is just perfect on any GM Yasser videos lol

Great video! I'm still struggling when black plays d5 with white bishop on b3. After exd5 what should black play?

great lecture...too bad a lot of it is off screen and not visible

great lecture if you put the speed on 1.25.

Sweet Uncle Yass

The video ended too soon unfortunately. The critical line after 9...d5 is the one we missed: 10. Bxd5 Nxd5; 11. ed Nb4; 12. Nde2, although black has been scoring fairly well in this lately after 12...e6.

This guy is an incredible teacher, I'd love to attend one of his lessons if he is still teaching chess.

I would like to see the adult class lecture on this same topic.

i love this guy

Is there a second part to it? It kind of ended at a surprising moment.

I like when he shows the students why their moves are bad and doesnt mock them .. I had a coach that made me feel so dumb for being wrong

@thetddfather7876

It's really important to go through the motions to show them the possibilities without discouraging engagement. I agree completely, that if he did mock them then no one would give suggestions (I know I wouldn't)

can someone tell me what happens when after qa5+ and kf2 is played by white, so we cant win the pawn as the queen coudl protect it next?

this is some top tier before bed content

Bruh, I just did puzzle, so my brain is already tired. This lecture is just melting it.

good video

i was playing chess and i played some random opening moves and it said hyperaccelerated dragon pterodactyle something and i just had to find out what i had just done.

I love his smile

22:54 what is the best move to play against pawn e5 to e6? It looks intimidating, especially with the white rook opposite your queen.

@achessplayer6288

3 жыл бұрын

you just play d5, a move that you were dreaming of. You threat e6, and you get a dream position.

Nice and sweet

Guys, I didn't understand one part: when you push the black pawn to a4 to harass the bishop, can bishop just take it and stay protected by knight in c3? Am I missing something? 🙄

I just have a question, what if when the white has their 2 knights developed and you got the bishop on the diagnol whites next move is to try and trade blacks knight with their white bishop, how do you respond, do you allow the trade or is there a trick... He doesnt mention it so i think its a bad idea but it still catches me off guard in a lot of games

What happens if after black plays d5, white responds with exd5?

Warning: At 34:28, You can't follow that move up with a4... because then it goes Nxc6, bxc6, Nxb6... and then anything black does is trouble. You have to go Nxd5 asap instead of a4 to stop the eventual Nxb6 protected by the discovered protection of the e3 bishop. IMPORTANT: I am not posting to this to sound like I know much about chess. I don't, and Yasser is my hero. I would kill to get one of my Winning Chess books signed by him. I just happened to have lichess open alongside this video and this inaccuracy reared its ugly head. It doesn't change the value of this video, though. As always, Yasser is teaching us principles and chess thinking. He's sooooo awesome!!!! I just figured I'd make a note of this for anyone watching.
