A nice, lesson, clearly and simply explained. This is my first time here and not the last.

- Prioritize checks, captures, and threats in your calculations [2:30] - Avoid defensive moves without considering your own attacking options first [2:37] - Remember that your opponent's king in the center can be a vulnerability [2:46] - When under attack, still look for your tactical opportunities [3:13] - Make a list of forcing moves to find tactical ideas [7:07]

Checks > Captures > Threats is so valuable for a beginner like myself. Thank you!

I’m a 68 yr old club player. I love your explanation of the position and the idea of checks/captures/etc! I will look at more of your content as I love this type of info! Thank you!

You are so direct, clear and concise in your analysis and coaching. It is so helpful! You truly stand out amongst chess KZreadrs, thank you and please keep the videos coming.

Thank you

I am glad to see the youtube videos from Irinia Krush. I enjoyed some of her lectures at St Louis chess club. This particular video features an interesting position and useful rules for how to calculate. I am trying to learn as an adult and I see lots of beginning players look only at ways to win material. The forcing moves give better alternatives.

Thanks for the lesson , Irina Krush.... the mindset of an elite chess player is truly different.. It is truly nice that chess experts such as yourself take the time to explain strategies to a lot of simpletons like me.

Well they hope to make money from these videos...

That was a great example position for the point you are making. I would typically focus solely on Black’s threat on the h file. Your analysis was mind-opening.

My favorite player ! I hope this channel becomes successful and we get lots of videos.

Another wonderful video!! SO happy to have found your channel! I had some profound insights analyzing the position here. Thank you, Irina!

Irina is an incredible educator and player

This channel is set to explode in terms of popularity very soon. Much deserved^

My favorite female GM! Finally, I found you here on KZread!

played more than 100,000 games and i still learned from this video excellent, concise, high quality 🙏

Every word you say worths so much. It's quite incredible.

Great video Irina...You're a fabulous teacher and player!.. I have some of your other lessons on mp3, and I listen to them in the car over and over...I wish we were paired in the 2019 Berkeley Chess School blitz tournament, but it was great to see you there going over your games pre-tournament...

Hi. Just discovered your channel in the past few weeks. Your content and presentation style really complements the other channels I watch. Thanks - looking forward to going through the back catalogue!

Congratulations on winning. Amazing moves

Great game and lecture.I first discovered chess during Kasparov vs the world in 99 when you were commenting on the game.

You give me what I need. Thank-you Irin.

I am really loving these tidbit lessons. As someone who does not have the time to watch long videos or streams etc these are a god send

You are one of the best chess teachers on KZread (along with Var Akobian)

Wow! You give fantastic instructions!

Thank you so much for showing a variation from a game of Smyslov's. It's incredible to me how relatively rare attention Smyslov's games have in the general Western chess playing consciousness, when so many of them, particularly in the earlier phase of his career, have these fantastic tactical complications and instructive ideas and plans. I suppose your chess education would have given you exposure to the Soviet philosophy of dynamism on the chessboard during this time. I have to wonder if at that time and place the chessboard was the one of if not the only outlet for creative vigor that also speaks the truth.

I still believe the board is for that purpose! Great to see such a thought still.

I think Smyslov-Keres from the famous 1953 candidates is one of the all-time brilliancies in trusting calculation in the face of what initially looks like a terrifying attack on the H file as well! Keres had an Alekhine gun on the H file and Smyslov kept cool, calculated, and trusted his calculation that there was no win, and that his counterattack was faster- one of my personal favorites ☺

We all need a clear approach like this to face complex positions. You have anew subscriber

I love this idea of looking at your opportunities instead of always defending and retreating, this is a principle I will abide to 😊

Great content thank you very much, much love from Scotland

Thanks Irina for this substantive lesson! You got my sub. Looking forward to more helpful content. Much love❤️

Thank you very much Irina.

thank you for reminding us about this basic tactic!!! it is so easy to let it slip away in the midst of an attack.

Nice video and great info. Thank you for speaking in a natural conversational voice and giving time to see and absorb what you are saying! Very helpful, will subscribe to your channel.

Excellent lesson. I am up for more.

Very nice tactical attack and instructive video 😀

I think the problem is not seeing threats, captures, open files but the deep concrete calculation to the end, so you know it works.

Excellent example. Congrats on winning American Cup!

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

Very clear explanation, thank you Irina :)

I never knew Irina did youtube! I learnt she had twitch last year from her commentating and speaking about it but she said she wasn't interested clearly she is now and I'm here for it!

Didn't realize you had a channel! Great stuff!! Thanks or posting

This is a great video I'm ~1600 on lichess. Was able to spot all the options that led to dead ends and the tactical solution was mind boggling to realise. Love your work!

Delighted to have found Irinas channel

Great analysis , nice

A really nice tutorial ! Thank you

I love how Irina never says bye at the end of her videos . 😂 Stern and Stoic. Dont change. Its funny and we dont deserve the emotion. 😂

Love your channel thank you, Irina! Found your videos after you won the American Cup (congrats 🎉) and you mentioned your KZread channel. Let me know if you ever want to collab!

Your channel is great

Very nice, thank you! 🙏👏👍🏽

Great video, thank you 👍

Great video! I subbed

Irina-a very helpful lesson. I think you some of the best material. A subject that I find fascinating and somewhat related to the material in this video is compensation. I wonder if you ever cover this subject.

Very helpful as always, thank you

Lesson learned: look for counter attacks before defending. However, this video is more akin to game analysis than learning to calculate. I would argue that in all my years playing and learning chess I have never seen a proper video to teach players how to calculate. I don't mean some game analysis or theoretical line. I mean, at its core, what does it mean to calculate? What are the elements or characteristics involved in calculating? Maybe I'll have to publish my own book on this topic someday.

Fantastic example. That was totally not obvious to me; I would have gone on the defensive and missed the aggressive response.

Concise, logical and instructive. Rxf5 was actually my first candidate move there. I didn't see the Nd5-f6 idea however, but Rxf5 just felt almost obligatory. I also looked at Qg4, but that shows my lack of training in these types of positions because Qg4 isn't a check or a capture. I guess it sort of threatens Rxf5, but the move felt a bit diffuse and non-concrete. Great video, Irina! Thank you. What should black play after Qg4 do you think? Kf8 looks weird but may be right. Oof, maybe h3 is possible for black there. Or Ne5 might just outright win!

2yrs back to chess and I just now stumble across your channel? Why?????

Subscribed!

you are a good coach

Whoa Irina Krush has a YT channel?! Sign me the hell up 👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾

Wait, Irina Krush has a youtube channel? Niiiice!! Subscribing :)

Subscribed Sensei!

I just discovered you channel, great video! could you make one on how to practice the ability to calculate and visualize? even by limiting my choices with candidate moves, I still have touble visalizing acurately a position a few moves deep and my great ideas end up going nowhere because of an oversight!

Cool thank you great video!11❤

Good video 💪🏾

My first instinct was to play g4 but then I saw Nb5 and the Rxf5 and d6 is weak so that's where I stopped. Taking the knight first so that the d5 square is available, very nice!

@michaelgrishko8028

Actually, I don't think g4 would be a mistake. It permits to remove the black knight still with a rook attacking f7...

Very instructive

Great lesson

My thoughts were Nb5...Qd8, g4 (kicking the knight and closing the pawn structure on the kingside)...Nd4, Nbxd6 check winning the pawn. I can't see why sacking the rook for knight was necessary at the beginning as I can't calculate very deeply

Very good

Thank you

Your amazing

I sometimes forget to think about the forcing moves first, often responding with a response to an attack. Some books simply focus on moving, blocking or capturing the attacking piece.

Found your channel finally😮

"Chess tactics are the foundation of everything else."---GM Huschenbeth You can say that again. Either you see them or you don't, and after all is said and done it's probably the main factor separating elite players from puny woodpushers. This skill in calculation is probably intuitive, since as legendary trainer Mark Dvoretsky said, most players reach a plateau from which they can never ascend to the heights of mastery no matter how much they study, practice or play. Despite this apparently natural limitation on excellence chess is still a fascinating game for even mediocre players as skilled handling of pieces in combination never fails to resonate with that quality of wonder in all of us. If chess magic be the food of admiration, play on, play on.

you're awesome

Fab!!

good stuff

This title is hilarious! What's next? Spelling 1,2,3?

awesome

You're my second fav female player, after Judit of course, nice vid

thanks for the vid

Great upload, thx! Attack is the best defence. I'd look at this as defence. Bcoz you can defend by 1. Retreat. 2. Reinforce 3. Capture or 4 counter threat. Or possibly sacrifice/ignore the threat. Or 5 simply resign the game. Lol! No, but seriously I never look at checks, captures and threats. Simply bcoz I think it is boring. I think people should look at stuff like open lines, being worth a knight. Or the tactics of the greek gift wouldn't exist. Pins are worth a piece, at least temporarily. I personally base my entire thinking on: "Tactics flow from a superior position" and: "Development is key". Checks, captures and threats? I think people need to consider way more, and frankly other things than that.

If part of your decision making in a game of chess is based on whether you think something is boring or not, you're not going to get very far in chess. If there are certain types of moves you never look at, you are not going to get very far in chess.

Hi i am your big fan ❤

yesss!

Everyone should learn to play chess like General Falkenhayn at the battle of Verdun in 1916. The purpose of warfare is relentless meatgrinder attrition to grind up your enemy's reserves and manpower. The best generals make the best mincing machine using firepower and maneuver to kill off the enemy at greater rate than his own casualties. Yes, chess is different but why not come up with chess formations that emphasize aggressive attacking defensive moves? After the chess player is taught a basic opening, say the hypopotamus defense then start playing "hungry hypo" by relentless continuous exchanges to tear apart your opponents army? Win, lose or draw the objective should be to protect your own king by aggressive defensive attacks to counter and wear down your opponent so he has nothing left to work with?

calculation: checks, captures, and threats. I just played a couple games doing this before my move and its working!!!
