He really is a fountain of knowledge. I have read quite a few full length chess books that were from beginner to master and have never heard of evaluating a pieces worth based on how many of the opponent's squares it attacks.

Yasser is the Richard Feynman of Chess. Listening to him everything in Chess suddenly makes sense and just seems almost obvious.. but it takes someone truly gifted to make it this clear.

Never thought about that comparison before but it’s very true; they both have a way of making complex topics very clear. And coincidentally one of my favourite explanations by Richard Feynman is when he describes the scientific method as like working out the rules of chess by looking at a chessboard.

Can someone ask Yasser if he could adopt me ?

you mean adopting by beating you at 10 matches in a row, right? because that's the only adoption we know here

Yasser needs to do sleep meditation narrations, his voice is perfect for it.

You are so kind and gentle teaching this most magnificent game, you are like a four star general talking to children in a language they can understand. I was born in the Soviet Union and I learned the basics of chess early. Now, at the age of 46 I am returning to this game and you, Mr. Seirawan, are a magnificent teacher. God bless you for doing such wonderful job and being such a decent and patient human being.

Yasser is a true chess legend 🙂👍🏻💖

Jesus Christ!! That was excellent!!! Totally changed how I see the game. I’m only 1500, but this immediately helped. Keep the series coming!!!!

Thank you Yasser and chessbrahs.

The clearest chess lesson I may have ever heard/saw

Five elements 1. Pawn structure 2. Space 3. MATERIAL OR FORCE 4. TIME (no. Of moves/ tempos) 5. KING POSITION

One of the best lecturers I have seen in my 49 years

Im still not believing that Yasser is a true person. There is no way a human being is that pure of heart.

"I hope you enjoyed this lecture and I've got many more to come." Time to hit that notification bell.

According to "Play Winning Chess" the value of King is infinite because its loss means the loss of the game... I did hear that 4 is Kings "fighting value' though.

Chess theories develop... According to play winning chess their are 4 elements of chess space, time, Pawn structure, force but now it's 5 by adding king position.

Thank you sir. I learned today both English and chess lessons. From Algeria

I am not good at many things, but as it happens counting is one of these things I can do particularly well. So naturally Yasser's idea of 'counting' space by simply count what amount of my opponents squares are attacked by my pieces really appealed to me. However as I tried as exercise to do this count in various different positions and this raised some interesting questions that I wish to share --> Should every square be counted as '1'? --> What about batteries? Imagine an empty board except for a white bishop on g2 and a queen on h1. Does white control 12 or 8 enemy squares in the space count? --> Does every piece excert the same amount of 'control'? Situation 1: black pawn on f6, black Knight of f7. White Queen on d4. Situation 2: black pawn on f6, black knight of f7. White pawn on d4. In the first scenario black can play Ne5 without losing material, in the latter the second player can't without sacrificing the knight for a mere pawn. --> I now simply count a square twice if it is attack twice. This seems fair to me because I do excert more control, but what if a square was attacked 5 times? That would in many situation be overkill except if my opponent had the square also covered many times. which brings me to my last question. --> In your lecture you used the words 'attacked' and 'controlled' interchangably. Is that fair, or does control require you have more/lower ranked pieces on a square compared to your opponent. In other words. Isn't control relational and attack absolute? Of course all of these questions are highly theoretical and perhaps not worth considering during a game, but they are fun and interesting nevertheless. @Yasser: Thank you so much for your interesting lectures I really get a lot of joy from watching them.

Would love to see more. Thanks, Yasser and chessbrahs!

Yasser lesson,... I cannot imagine a better video

This is so relaxing and entertaining at the same time, great content!

This was excellent! Fascinating stuff. More Yasser lectures please!

The 'ad' makes it look like Yasser plays in a pro-PUBG team, the notion of which has me giggling.

Thanks Mr. Seirawan for the lecture and to chessbrah for having him on, keep 'em coming!

Loving this serie already. Great work Yasser! ♡

Absolutely fantastic!! Well done Yasser! We look forward to your upcoming videos!

This was so great!! Can't wait for more

Thank you for posting this. Please do more. Thank you.

More episodes of Yasser please! I could listen to him all day.

Thank you for posting. I hope all of these make it to KZread

This is one of the finest video you have made, Yasser! More please! Something i would love to be learning more about are «tempo/tempi» in the middlegame. I understand the concept until castling and easy pawn-ending there the pawn are queening first, and the easy concept with scandiavaen i can, but im struggling with the tempo/tempi in the middlegame after the we have castled and how to calculate before end-game who are tempo/tempi up to win the game.

Yes! Please more of this!

yasser is amazing, his lectures are so insightful and rich. wonderful that he's always been so involved with giving back to the chess community.

Very cool, looking forward to the rest of the series.

Yasser is my new grandpa ive decided. He is the uncle Iroh of chess. I cant explain how much I like his soul

Best video chessbrah has put out since Robin Van Kampen frequented the channel.

Brilliant teacher! Well said!!

Awesome stuff! Thanks

one of the best lessons ive seen !!

go yasser !

Looking forward to all of them!

Love it! Suggested a similar idea to Eric when he was playing blitz a few days ago. Chess Brahs just earned a twitch subscription from me. I reckon they'll smash it with this format.

I can't think of anyone who truly loves the game of chess nearly as much as Yasser Seirawan does. By far my favorite GM

That was so instructive !

The chess instructor with the smoothest voice

Thankyou for the lesson.

Oh yeah, I could listen to this all night, in fact I’m going to. Great content, Soothing tones!

I concur with many of the other comments, please make more of these.

Will watch as soon as time allows!!

Great stuff, chessbrah. Keep it up. 👊

This is suuuuuuperrrrr! Wonderful Thaaaaank you!

Very excited for this series More please

That was an awesome video. I logged in especially so as to leave this comment after watching on Xbox. Hope to see more like this in the future.

simply great . thanku

my best chess lecture I heard, thanks

great stuff for a beginner like me, thanks Yasser!

These slower paced videos are amazing, please give us more!

Great first lesson. Thanks!

Holy cow!!! This was AWESOME!!!!

I like this. I'd like to see more of such lessons.

Thanks Yasser and Chessbrah.

Started of really basic and I almost skipped. Glad I sticked through it! The last minutes were a revelation to me. Simple but thought provoking.

such a clean lesson by yasser

This was great!

Very nice Vid. When i first explored this channel i always thought who is this Yasser guy Eric is talking about. Then i saw him first time and now i cannot get enough. Nice and slow voice and nearly always smiling. Keep up the good work guys!

such clear explanations...Never understood why pieces were given their assigned point values, and thinking of chess as a game of space makes so much sense. Thank you for the amazing, free content :D

Nice!!! Thanks Master Seirawan!!!

Thank you, Yasser!

Ty yasser big time u the man

Well, that was a nice surprise, thank you Yasser for your great insight; it was really fun and insightful. Go chessbrahs.

more please. Yasser you are a real G. very much appreciated move to Alberta!!! lol

I'm 1600 and I think for players my level and below the minor pieces go up in value as most games are won or lost based on minor piece play. I'd be tempted to say that rook and bishop are almost equal and knights slightly less. The rook is only worth 5 if you get to a lot of endgames (like GM's do) which will increase the average value of the rook in your overall games but for players like me I really believe its closer to 4.

Such a Good Video. Still watch it from time to time. Very interesting ideas, Yasser is just such a good teacher! Greeting from Germany

I love it! It reminds me of playing at wire works coffee house. But the king isn't worth 4 just like the queen being worth more because of the perpetual the king is worth less because of the check, so 3 maybe... And it is all still relative to the position a pawn that is queening next move is obviously more valuable but it's worthless of your getting mated as soon as it dose. One of the things I like to do is think of the number of spaces I control and how guarded vs threatened each minor piece is on either side as well as what spaces they would like to ocupy, then look at tempo, and when I say that I put green and red counts next to each square red threatened by opponent, green guarded by me and vice versa, and do this for two or three possible or likely moves for each piece, this will allow you to see where weaknesses can form or breakthroughs can happen in 3 moves I can threaten c4 4 times but they can only defend 3 times. The real problem with trying to numerically define a position is that every move in chess dose something, but it also stops doing what it was doing as well. Ultimately; to progress is to create weaknesses, to push is to over extend, and your worst nightmare is a pawn with delusions of grandeur that may just come true.

Go Yasser! Keep up the great work.

Loved the lesson:-)

I’ve been studying AlphaZero and LeelaZero games in recent month. Both love to push A and H pawns. When Yasser implies not all pawns are created equal, this is a prime example. These AI based programs are always ready to push those pawns on the side of the board because they are really good as battering rams to disrupt the opponents king safety, but aside from that, their value is quite limited.

As a teacher I can vouch that Yasser is a great teacher. An inspiration for me. Looking forward to part 2. Is there a schedule when these will be uploaded or should we remain patient? Have a nice day!

most instructional lesson i have had, very gg

Thanks a lot

Great video, thank you GM Yasser. Would you mind putting these into a playlist / titling them so that it's easy to find them all together? I worry I'll miss some otherwise.

I seem to remember some different elements mentioned by Aron Nimzowitsch in his book “Mein System” (My System). Hold on, let me find the book... Yes, here they are: 1.The Centre 2.The Open Rook Files 3.The Play on The Seventh and Eighth Rank 4.The Passed Pawn 5.The Pinning 6.The Discovered Check 7.The Trading of Pieces 8.The Pawn Chain

Very interesting video!

Nice lecture,keep going

I love your voice and your teaching

Bravo! 👑
