    This is golden, and actually very entertaining too. Yasser with his deep knowledge of chess struggling to erase an arrow, or, I was grinning at 10:35 when, after chastising chess authors for using descriptive phrases such as 'the rook is powerful', Yasser is saying "Thanks to my very powerful rook..."

  • @BillCypher95

    I love this so much! Strategy always seemed like a some sort of remote knowledge that suddenly appeared in the minds of great players, and this lessons, as basic as they are, made me really think about this concepts and start to have a glimpse on what strategy is, making me much more conscious of it! And also Yasser is just great and a pleasure to listen to. Keep'em coming brahs, I'm sure this might not be the most successful videos and people prefer when something absurd happens or high energy streams (which are great don't get me wrong), but this are to my eyes the greatest videos you have and the one's I appreciate the most.

    Agreed. This video has real knowledge that players can use in their own games. Most of what you see on youtube or twitch is pure entertainment and in my opinion of low value. I do watch some chess for entertainment but its important to separate what is of real value and what isn't. This video is one of the most instructional chess videos I've ever seen in my years of watching chess videos on youtube.

    This is phenomenal lesson! While I'm rated 2000+ online on all time controls I don't necessarily think this clearly about the position of my pieces. I would highly recommend any beginners or even intermediate players review this lesson until they memorize all of it. Pawn structures are highly neglected by beginners and this is far more important than any other aspect of chess learning. At my level, if I thought this clearly about my pawn structures and their effect on my pieces I would easily be rated 200 points higher. Great lesson Yasser! Thanks!!

    Somebody should definitely make that into a chess puzzle. You get a chess position and a piece. And you have to drop the piece in the strongest position . You can complicate things by having it be your move or enemy move. If it’s your move you have to drop the piece and then move it You could add positional sequences to it or tactics… But I think that would a really great way to develop better positional understanding
