lol. So true. It's like he's teaching the absolute basics of life "So it's not a good idea to put your hand in the fire....it will burn. Yes...and that won't be pleasant." *big smile*
But he is speaking extremely slowly, building too long and sophisticated phrases. All this video could last around 15 minutes if spoken in normal tempo and much less of unnesessary phrases
Yasser is not only a grandmaster. He is an outstanding explaining grandmaster. With his lessons I dramatically improved my strategy. Yasser, a rookie says I love you !
My first reaction upon watching this lecture was that he talked way too slowly and his points were too simple. But then I realize that that is precisely what makes him such a singularly effective chess educator, even for non-beginners. Will definitely be watching more of his lessons!
As a novice player, holy crap did I learn a lot watching this. I'll probably forget 80% of it right away and have to watch again, but still. This stuff is golden.
I wanna fall asleep listening to this guy. I've seen his games, I knew his face, but I never heard him speak. Love with his voice and demeanour. What a nice man, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
Great educator, doesn't leave any thing hanging in your mind. Wish I had this stuff when i was a little younger! Came from a poor background, never had the chance to play agains't anyone at chess (in the early 90s). Rediscovered chess during the pandemic. I'm glad I did.
Yasser Seirawan is without doubt one of the greatest. he did did not win any world championship, but he always competed with the best of every generation. we are very lucky to have his classes, such good quality content.
Very informative lecture, especially the point about dismantling white's position after the move f3 with pawn to d5. Previously I would find myself stumped when facing this move since whites center appears so solid.
The video ended too soon unfortunately. The critical line after 9...d5 is the one we missed: 10. Bxd5 Nxd5; 11. ed Nb4; 12. Nde2, although black has been scoring fairly well in this lately after 12...e6.
I don't understand why he didn't talk about getting the light square bishop out sooner for white !?! so you can go for that quick kingside castle for white..
After nf6 white can play Qd2 and if you atack the bishop white can trade nights and stockfish on low depth even want to capture with the pawn d pawn. If you capture with b pawn, white can atack your black bishop on e4 and stockfish at least see this at lower depth with +0.34. So this isnt so clear for me, maybe with longer thinking times it will change. Proble withh al the openings below Elo 1800 is they never happen unless two players play the ein lines.
Warning: At 34:28, You can't follow that move up with a4... because then it goes Nxc6, bxc6, Nxb6... and then anything black does is trouble. You have to go Nxd5 asap instead of a4 to stop the eventual Nxb6 protected by the discovered protection of the e3 bishop. IMPORTANT: I am not posting to this to sound like I know much about chess. I don't, and Yasser is my hero. I would kill to get one of my Winning Chess books signed by him. I just happened to have lichess open alongside this video and this inaccuracy reared its ugly head. It doesn't change the value of this video, though. As always, Yasser is teaching us principles and chess thinking. He's sooooo awesome!!!! I just figured I'd make a note of this for anyone watching.
i like how he talks about the center for 7 minutes despite the fact that the accelerated dragon is notorious for allowing the 'maroczy bind' where white has complete control over center
Been following Yasser for years and years. Love him dearly but could someone gently let him know that fianchetto is Italian and pronounced fee-en-KET- toe? Please? Great video as always.
It's really important to go through the motions to show them the possibilities without discouraging engagement. I agree completely, that if he did mock them then no one would give suggestions (I know I wouldn't)
thank you for explaining every move, and the reason why, too often the clout chess players create too much clickbait and teach an opening in 10 minute even 20 is not enough, it is all sped up, too fast, and frustrating since it is not meant to teach just get likes.
Guys, I didn't understand one part: when you push the black pawn to a4 to harass the bishop, can bishop just take it and stay protected by knight in c3? Am I missing something? 🙄
I just have a question, what if when the white has their 2 knights developed and you got the bishop on the diagnol whites next move is to try and trade blacks knight with their white bishop, how do you respond, do you allow the trade or is there a trick... He doesnt mention it so i think its a bad idea but it still catches me off guard in a lot of games
17:06 I think he got the position confused. Ng4 isnt that good after white takes on c6, bxc6, and then plays bishop to d4, Its better to castle first as black and then if they castle to play ng4
34:40 actually a4 is a mistake because black can go Nxc6 bxc6 Nb6! and the resulting position is worse for black. Instead, black should go Nxd5 exd5 and then only a4.
I actually dont think you win a piece in one scenario. After e6 attacking the "pinned" night you can just go nf6+ king goes to h8 and queen falls to c3 and white has a slight advantage
He talks to me like I'm a slow child, and I love it
lol. So true. It's like he's teaching the absolute basics of life "So it's not a good idea to put your hand in the fire....it will burn. Yes...and that won't be pleasant." *big smile*
@@thebigpicture2455 big smile part is so true lol
@Jonas Jakob no, no1 cares about insta. this is chess video get lost man.
He talks to me like I'm slow and a child. I'm no child however.
@Jonas Jakob ha, imagine having a girlfriend. Loser
This guy has got to be the sweetest, cheeriest Grandmaster I've ever seen.
until you've got him in front of a chess board ... unless he is gonna cheering you with his soothing voice, while he is demolishing all your defense.
I had him in front of a chess board. He killed me. :D
@piggypigpig great concept for a porno movie
Yeah baby!
The Bob Ross of chess.
Yasser = The Bob Ross of Chess
No, Bob Ross the Yasser of painting
@@GoldenBoyXCM and @U H both of you im dying rn
When he first said accelerated dragon I had the Bob Ross of Chess Vibes
he’s the Mr Rogers of Chess.
Yasser's voice is so soothing.... I really like learning from him.
yoo he's the nicest guy. imagine eating dinner with this guy! it would be nothing but a thoroughly pleasant evening!!!!!!!!!
Me I just imagine someone breaking into his house what he would do
But he is speaking extremely slowly, building too long and sophisticated phrases. All this video could last around 15 minutes if spoken in normal tempo and much less of unnesessary phrases
This. He speaks sooooo sloooowly I end up just doing chess problems in my mind and losing focus on what he is saying.
Won't you please... be.. my neighbor?
Love the way he says "I'm a piece up" and rubs his hands while grinning :D
Yasser is not only a grandmaster. He is an outstanding explaining grandmaster. With his lessons I dramatically improved my strategy. Yasser, a rookie says I love you !
Where can you find his lessons other than on RUclips ? He's incredible.
I know! I Know! So true!
Love his simple style of teaching that builds up to a complex point by the end.
By any reckoning, this guy is a terrific communicator.
My first reaction upon watching this lecture was that he talked way too slowly and his points were too simple. But then I realize that that is precisely what makes him such a singularly effective chess educator, even for non-beginners. Will definitely be watching more of his lessons!
He is filled with so much joy to talk about chess. What a wonderful gift to the world
Yasser is a true gentleman, chess scholar and saint in a world of fallen angels!! What a pleasure it was to discover him on RUclips!!😇
the best lecture I ever see in my whole life , thank you Yasser god bless you , you have made my life more beautiful
Whole*
@@MrWite1 thank you sir 🙏
As a novice player, holy crap did I learn a lot watching this. I'll probably forget 80% of it right away and have to watch again, but still. This stuff is golden.
Take notes or practice it over by playing various variations against yourself atleast that has helped me to remeber gl
What a teacher! His way to teach is out this world, how clearly well explained, how soothing and you can notice how he love sicilian defense
Best teacher ever don't change your style! Great lecture
i want to sit in a classs like this .. with some coffee and a notebook
yesss
Everything is so neat and clean when it is explained by Mr Seirawan! Thanks for all these wonderful videos
Wow, what an elegant Grandmaster. I can listen to him whole day. He teaches in such a calm and dignified way, beginners will improve in no time.
At 12:35 I thought Yassir Seirawan was going to fly away.
Yasser explains the opening so beautifully. Truly an amazing teacher. Thanks.
I wanna fall asleep listening to this guy. I've seen his games, I knew his face, but I never heard him speak. Love with his voice and demeanour. What a nice man, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
Ngl this video is making me kinda sleepy
Great lecturer. Sense of humour combined with very useful information explaining why moves are made clearly without excessive complications.
Deeply appreciative of this lesson; so insightful and kind. God bless! :)
It's almost asmr how relaxing sir Yasser's voice is.
Yasser makes me want to become not only a better chess player, but a better person. This guy changes a flat tire in the rain and he's still smiling.
Thanks Yassir for enhancing my understanding and analytical skills regarding positions especially in the combative sicilians!!!!
Excellent teaching! I’m sold on Yasser! Well done sir!
Yasser's got the best lectures. He really does.
Thank you so much for putting up these videos!! Yasser is my favorite!!
Wow, this was really deep and great analysis! Thank you Yasser!
I've heard that the Sicilian is a very combative opening but as a positional player I believe I can still make these positions work! Thanks Yasser!
Great educator, doesn't leave any thing hanging in your mind. Wish I had this stuff when i was a little younger! Came from a poor background, never had the chance to play agains't anyone at chess (in the early 90s). Rediscovered chess during the pandemic. I'm glad I did.
Always enjoy GM Seirawan's lecture what an excellent teacher!
what a beautiful lecture truly an eloquent and highly effective teacher also very fun to listen to! thx!!:)
I'm getting into the hyper dragon and this is gold. Every move is explained slowly. So good.
A wonderful teaching style and so much knowledge
Yasser Seirawan is without doubt one of the greatest. he did did not win any world championship, but he always competed with the best of every generation. we are very lucky to have his classes, such good quality content.
Yassser-Best chess lecturer I have ever seen
Very informative lecture, especially the point about dismantling white's position after the move f3 with pawn to d5. Previously I would find myself stumped when facing this move since whites center appears so solid.
I just learned an opening called "the accelerated dragon" from the Mr. Rodgers of chess. It's a great day in the neighborhood.
Never felt like he was taking a class in another place in a different point of time!
THIS should be in Unintentional ASMR
This man is amazing at explaining chess. This lecture is gold.
The video ended too soon unfortunately. The critical line after 9...d5 is the one we missed: 10. Bxd5 Nxd5; 11. ed Nb4; 12. Nde2, although black has been scoring fairly well in this lately after 12...e6.
This guy put a lot of smile on my face. 😁
Great lecturer. Reminds me of one of my favorite math teachers.
Not every GM at his level shares hints . Yasser is one of the best
I like how he explains everthing.
Man the intro/outro music is great.
استاذ ياسر طريقه شرحه جميلة جدا هادية وممتعة
great lecture...too bad a lot of it is off screen and not visible
This guy is an incredible teacher, I'd love to attend one of his lessons if he is still teaching chess.
36:34 yay
this guy calms me down.
great lecture if you put the speed on 1.25.
I am deeply benefited from it
Thanks to you sir
Excellent lecture.
Love when he say "This SPECIFIC position"
My favourite opening greatly explained
Is there a second part to it? It kind of ended at a surprising moment.
I would like to see the adult class lecture on this same topic.
this guys voice is so sophisticated. this is what i imagine a chess player should be like .
so far i played the classic dragon.. i ended up trying the accel.. dragon :D thx yasser
I needed it to be more deep... He's the best teacher.
Great lesson, learned loads. Thanks!😁
I don't understand why he didn't talk about getting the light square bishop out sooner for white !?! so you can go for that quick kingside castle for white..

@@Am_Ende Don't mention it! I'm glad it was useful!!

Great video as always.
I like when he shows the students why their moves are bad and doesnt mock them .. I had a coach that made me feel so dumb for being wrong
It's really important to go through the motions to show them the possibilities without discouraging engagement. I agree completely, that if he did mock them then no one would give suggestions (I know I wouldn't)
Great video! I'm still struggling when black plays d5 with white bishop on b3. After exd5 what should black play?
Although I play the classical Sicilian I just need to watch this yassers to great.
I like how he deliver
making tough things look easy! Thank you
thank you for explaining every move, and the reason why, too often the clout chess players create too much clickbait and teach an opening in 10 minute even 20 is not enough, it is all sped up, too fast, and frustrating since it is not meant to teach just get likes.
The big question is now: What does white play instead of f3??
1.25 speed is just perfect on any GM Yasser videos lol
Guys, I didn't understand one part: when you push the black pawn to a4 to harass the bishop, can bishop just take it and stay protected by knight in c3? Am I missing something? 🙄
Love this guy
Yaz you the best!
Isn't white basically playing the najdorf english attack against the Sicilian accelerated dragon? Or am I just confused?
what if white never moves the bishop to b3 but instead plays Nd5?
he reminds me of Chuck from Better Call Saul series, but in a good way
34:49 why doesn't white play 11.Nxc6, bxc6 12.Sb6 after a5?
What is Sb6?
If it's Nb6, simply axb6.
If it's Bb6, then Qd6 with plans of cxd5 with a discovery attack of the queen to the b6 bishop.
So as Ben always says, *never play f3* :P
Oh! That video was awesome! Yasser is an amazing teacher! I love it!
45:30 deep doodoo 😆 Never heard that
I just have a question, what if when the white has their 2 knights developed and you got the bishop on the diagnol whites next move is to try and trade blacks knight with their white bishop, how do you respond, do you allow the trade or is there a trick... He doesnt mention it so i think its a bad idea but it still catches me off guard in a lot of games
Bruh, I just did puzzle, so my brain is already tired. This lecture is just melting it.
17:06
I think he got the position confused. Ng4 isnt that good after white takes on c6, bxc6, and then plays bishop to d4,
Its better to castle first as black and then if they castle to play ng4
It would be far better if he were not blocked by the onscreen board while he is using the wall screen to illustrated alternatives.
34:40 actually a4 is a mistake because black can go Nxc6 bxc6 Nb6! and the resulting position is worse for black. Instead, black should go Nxd5 exd5 and then only a4.
I like GM Yasser when explaining chess openings...sir Yasser can you explained briefly about how to refute kings gambit opening...tia
Nestor Guiyaan Its been 2 months, youve probably learned much about chess and openings but thats called a decline
Awesome Instructor!
Damn, i need the weed this guy is on! Great lesson though
Thank you for this.
I want Yasser's voice on audio books
I actually dont think you win a piece in one scenario. After e6 attacking the "pinned" night you can just go nf6+ king goes to h8 and queen falls to c3 and white has a slight advantage
