I disagree slightly. He gives kids 2 minutes to solve a puzzle, but then resolves it after barely one minute because one kid already found it. And at 19:27 he does not resolve the puzzle since the queen does not have to take on f8. He should do fewer puzzles, but do them properly.

Dude: I literally thought the teacher was kaparov. The title of the video literally says Kasparov! I was like: wow! they got Kasparov to teach the game of the famous queen gambit game played by himself, as the white! Plus, the teacher dude literally looks just how you would imagine Kasparov would have looked today.

Akobian is such a GREAT teacher and an incredible grandmaster. My respects to him. Keep up the good work! :D

I have seen a lot of the Saint Louis Chess Club videos and I do have to say that GM Varuzhan Akobian is probably one of the best teachers I have seen in any of the videos. He has a nice way of working with kids, and I am learning a lot from the videos.

A very great teacher.. thank you. I love the way he treats and listens to the kids.❤

great teacher. allows people to think with his pause and not just dump moves without explaining. thank you. appreciate the lesson.

He’s such a great teacher! He gives wait time and lets the kids think . I’d use him if I wanted to explain wait time to any teacher

I'm learning so much from these Varuzhan lessons as an adult! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for another great lecture GM Akobian!

Thank you, GM Varuzhan. You are both a Grand-Master and Genuine Master.

My favorite opening and one of my favorite instructors :D

love his lectures, patience of a saint

i probably need to watch more kids class games

I would pay to go and listen to Varuzhan!

one of the best lecture of GM AKOBIAN ... thanks ... its very helpful ...

As a mark of respect.. Commenting again what I do always.. Incredible teacher.

Akobian is nice, proper, teacher I want to have for kids. Just think how patience does he carry to teach basic things even though he is GRAND MASTER. salute u sir. U r gifted.

I love Akobian's Opening Analysis!

It's so nice hearing those child like question! *cute*

Great teacher, the only video I understand. Clearly shows the intentions and reasons behind the mivr

Wonderful teacher! Great job!

Splendid lecturer.

As an Italian, his hand gestures are filling me with joy and pride.

awesome guy, hes a really good teacher

Wow this is soo good lesson on QGD.....I'm love in it 💓

superb teacher

Great Teacher

Enjoyed the lecture. Would have liked to see the conclusion of the first game

GREAT LECTURE

Akobian is a great chess player. Helping me learn impressive moves. Guess these kids aren't the only ones taking classes from him.

Excellent teacher!

I love Akobian’s accent. The little j/szch sound after his R sounds.

The whole concept is BASED

All these kids are going to grow up (or have grown up, now) to be absolute monsters at this game, because they had such a great teacher when they were kids.

You are my best chess teacher sir

This teacher does not teaches for his business he teaches for his students, he wants his students a Grand Master like him

Very good video!

Very nice. I am a fan

Very simple for kids, but as a QP player I (rated 2020) still enjoyed the lecture...

I’m so happy I got a Kasparov add on a Kasparov game

+Hitendra Kishanchandani What I liked most about this particular lecture is that he actually patiently answers all of the kids' questions. Var even showed the possible winning idea for that game with 2 pieces up when I thought he was short on time and would excuse himself to move on to the next part of the lecture. To be honest, I always felt bad for a kid asking Ben Finegold a question and getting rejected with some harsh joke (big fan of GM Finegold otherwise)

Are you related to Azadian via marriage at any point? Great channel

I listen to him I go play v good 👍🏻💕 even enjoy more

Never knew there’s classes for chess. Would love to go to one of those

explanation rule for 19:55 ... If you can withdraw an attacked piece by creating a greater threat at once this piece is not hanging anymore. Thereby you win the tempo you need.

nice teacher

in the last puzzle , what if when you move white's bishop to d4 and black's Knight takes it before white's rook takes the black's rook A1?

I'm not a chess grandmaster but I was and I can set the fashions and philosophy for chess; Because when I did the analysis I was among the best players in the world. I could brush up and play a bit, too

Question … At 7:30 why the best moves wouldn‘t be as follows. White to play … So to sacrifice the white bishop on g5? Bxh6 - g7xh6 D3xG6 - F7xG6 C2xG6 and check with Queen?

about the last puzzle,what if u put rook c8 then he takes it and u take with bishop then put rook a8 and its inevitable checkmate with bishop f5 unless he puts rook a6 and then u take his rook then u have 2 rooks advantage which i think is better than the other alternatives cause in the first occasion he might just eat ur bishop with knight and then u can take his rook but only have 1 rook advantage.

Kudos GM Akobian

When bishop goes to G5, what if black plays pawn to h6, instead of castling. How to proceed then? It would be great if someone would be able to help me here..

This is the hook mate.

Good job

At 1:51 when bishop to G5, what happens if black plays pawn to H6?

Does anyone know if he has his own KZread channel

@ISwearSheLooked19

when? you need to add a time period to make it easier to understand which point of the game you are talking about. if you are talking about say 2:36 if black moves h6 then Bh4 and if g5 then Bg3 which leaves black in a nastier position because you would like to castle kingside and right now if you do your king won't be well defended due to the weakened pawn structure

Very good game..☺☺☺

Kinda happy that I got all moves correct even though it is kids class. I think my chess is improving.

that last puzzle was very clever
