What an instructive video! It's a boggling position, but as Irina goes through it, it gradually becomes clearer and clearer. Never would have understood all of that on my own, even with an engine.

I am glad it came through how cool this position actually was:) One of my favorite videos to make so far. Thanks for your comment!

Appreciate the frequent uploads :) these are great lectures

Really enjoying Irina's chess teaching videos. Quality stuff.

Thank for this video. This position is so beautiful and I would have never seen all the ideas without your commentary.

Nice lesson. Thanks

I can't believe I'm having this classes for free!!! Thanks Irina!! You're the best!!!

thank you for the lesson! What a gem

Its possible that Re3 maybe a very difficult move to spot even for a GM during a game but just the fact that it exists just goes to show the sublime beauty and complexity of the game

I agree, it is a very difficult move to spot. Perhaps that is why it wasn't played in the game.

This is one of the most interesting positional studies I've seen in a while, I really enjoyed this one! However if someone as creative in his board vision as GM Dubov can't find the move, I'm not optimistic about my chances...

Loving the super frequent uploads I watch these everyday, thanks for the great content!

Really excellent example.

So many twists and turns in that little position, endgames are like scary Rubik cubes you have to dismantle.

You’re an amazing teacher; I’ve been watching your videos since the past year or so, and it’s the first time I am commenting on your videos. Great work ❤

I will add this one to my database!!

Great video Irina!

Learnt a lot from the Video❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for this video, it's very interesting and useful to see the thought processes of professionals

Great brain work to start the day! 😎

such a good lessons, keep it up! Until the algorithm does his things

Wow!!🔥🔥🔥

You could have mentioned CCA because Re3 is the only way to put a check on White, so that move is high on the list of candidates. Getting at the undefended b-file pawns is also a priority. But in the heat of a blitz game yes it's not so easy.

You look absolutely wonderful today Irina! :0)

love so much , learn so much and first VIEW award!!

The title of your video is me playing the third move.

By the way the equal rook and pawn endgame that followed was also quite difficult to play perfectly in a rapid game with very little time available even at the Grandmaster level. Perhaps Irina Krush would consider covering that endgame in another video since in it Dubov, who we can consider a super Grandmaster missed multiple wins in it. That means any human can misplay it under similar circumstances but Irina can easily and clearly explain how it should have been played at least in hindsight.

This was an excellent presentation as always but "not so easy to find the right move" is an understatement when one considers the difficulties inherent in playing this endgame in a rapid game. Indeed a human could only play it perfectly by luck.

wow

We would love to display an autographed photo in our chessclub.. I'm not certain what address to send a request and fees that it would incur? A loyal fan of your KZread.. Thank you so much...🙌😛🎵🎶🎵

Not sure why we need 4K to look at a chessboard 😅. Interesting vid though!
