John Rain McManus I can agree with that. The only thing I don't like is that he constantly move over and points to the projection screen, which is only beneficial for his live audience since we can't really see it in the video. He points somewhere and say things like "if white had a pawn here I would have preferred white but with the pawn here, black is better" and we can't see where he's pointing. I would prefer that he would stay with the computer and use Houdini more and mark the squares and draw arrows, that way both his live audience as well as the many thousands that watch this online would benefit from his explanation.
He's very good, but I've never heard an adult mispronounce simple words the way he does. "Set up" and "injuring" are very difficult for him. Maybe he needs to calm down.
I think the Maroczy is mostly analyzed on RUclips from the black side because it poses such a dilemma with the space squeeze. In my experience this space advantage for white is great but converting it into a win isn’t a simple process and it would be good to just sit on the advantage but that option isn’t available forever. It would be great to see more videos on whites middlegame plans in the maroczy. Winning a won position can be tricky!
He has a gift in explaining a complicated opening in a simple to follow way, at least the first 10 minutes. Maybe more people would like chess if they could find a teacher this good.
It's been many years since I've watched lectures on this channel. Interested in the maroczy bind, I stumbled back on this video and launched it. 2mn in, oh god had I forgotten how pleasant Yasser is as a lecturer!
The Accelerated Dragon is one of my pet defense as black in some games here there is hours and hours of study. I am familiar with the Marocey Bind but the video helped me to understand it more in depth with the interesting move made by Ben Larsen. I am going to have to look into this with more study. When you went to the screen against the wall showing move orders to your pupils it did not show up on the screen we are looking at, maybe in future videos you can correct this minor detail.
very helpful that Yasser points out the differences in his evaluation given little differences in the position, like when white has pawns on c4 and d5 that's great for white whereas the same position with the d5 pawn on e4 is perfectly fine for either side, or the same c4 d5 position is fine for black with a knight instead of a bishop. very interesting
Well prepared lecture. Notice how he asks the audience to come up with a move after black's ...10 Bd7 (at the 12:56 marker). This is a well prepared question and shows why Seirawan is a good teacher. In my opinion Qd2 is the most obvious natural setup move but it looks like 11 Qd3 is common theory, and better.
at 25:52 after b4 black can play Qb6 =+ because now after c5 Qxb4 Bxf8 Nxf1 if Bh6? white as Qd4+ the point of moving to b6 provoking c5 clearing d4 for the check.
Are you sure that Petrosian crushed Larsen? According to the database, it was Larsen who beat Petrosian in the Ng4 line: Piatigorsky Cup, July 27, 1966. According to the database, Petrosian only played black in this variation.
4:38 "yes it's true its a lament, you can't have everything in life." Yasser's high af in this one, I was laughing my ass off half of the lecture because or the other time he was like "but relaaaaax it's all good..." lololol
it is very depreciative for the course that the video cam forget to follow the GM seirawan when he goes to the screen board to explain so much interesting points of his thinking mind in strategy and tactics actions. Please do it that better.
Is there a lecture of how black should play in the line where white retreats Nc2 after Bg7 in the Maroczy? Since black cannot trade N:d4 in that line I find it quite inconvenient for black because we are lacking space and have all the pieces on the board which makes them cramped
Too often in chess videos it is hard to tell the difference the letters b, c, d, e when spoken. They should use military radio code by calling them bravo, charlie, delta, echo.
White queen takes knight, black queen takes queen, white pawn takes queen, black king takes bishop. The material is equal, but this is undesirable for white because of his slightly inferior position (with double pawns), and playing as white you usually want to come out with a slight edge, rather than equal or slightly worse.
It's tragic that GM Seirawan does not indicate his move suggestions on the computer screen, preferring to show them by hand unlike most other lecturers I've enjoyed watching on this channel.. The lack of activity on the board ruined this for me.
What I dont like is that eventhough he has the computer board, he keeps using the projector one, and I cant follow shit. Hope someone brings it to his attention!
+Du du e5 is an awful move- it limits the range of your bishop on g7, creates the backwards pawn on d6 and weakens the d5 square (the knight could use this an outpost)
Seirawan's are the best chess lectures I've found on RUclips. Totally followable and friendly and thorough and engaging... all the time.

I agree 100% I’m very thankful for Seirawan’s lectures!
GM Yasser Seirawan is such a gentlemen!
I just wanna hug him hes so dang nice
I am convinced that, pound for pound, Yasser is the greatest chess instructor of all time.
Careful, That’s how he checkmates you.
26:20
"I think Qd2 everybody and his brother plays, right Ben [Finegold]?"
"Yeah, but my brother's 2300..."
The peace and clarity that this man exudes is amazing. The world would be a better place if there were more people like him around.
happy to see someone feels the same

I thought Eric Rosen was relaxing to listen to. This is an amazing lecture, and perfect before bedtime.
Very much appreciated
Amazing lectures... and free! Thank you so much.

Good lecture by Seirawan - as always.
I just love this guy.. so much knowledge and yet so humble. He once crusehed karpov when karpov a world champ. Has beaten many world champs
Just re-watched both of these dragon lectures, nice refresher! Love the way he explains chess. Very helpful!
Ethan C where is the other dragon video?
james adams Just search for 'seirawan' 'accelerated dragon'. You will find it. ;)
It's been many years since I've watched lectures on this channel. Interested in the maroczy bind, I stumbled back on this video and launched it.
2mn in, oh god had I forgotten how pleasant Yasser is as a lecturer!
Absolutely enjoy every one of his lectures. Hope to see one live one day!
What a great talk on the hyper accelerated dragon! Thank you so much for the video :)
+Ethan C Just the accelerated dragon, hyper accelerated dragon c4, g2 while as accelerated is c4, Nc3
Thanks for the good and enjoyable lectures , learn a lot for sure.

Seirawan makes the absolute best lectures in chess.
Although I’m not high ranked, I love the merry bind idea 💡 it’s just fun.
I won a game last night otb thanks to knight to g4. Thanks yasser

Wow! Ben is also a classic player! Never knew that he met Petrosian much less played him.
Thanks
TERIMA KASIH
yasser smokes so much weed. Ive watched most of his videos. This is the one I can tell he burns trees like a wildland firefighter
Cameron 1234 wtf? No he does not cant a man just fucking be mature and happy ?
finegold at 9:00?
Shumeng Wang yes i didnt even notice!
Raawr the answer is fries.
when the teacher becomes the student :P
Very suspicious
@@santiagomorales9129 Two Cs instead and you have it correct.
4:38 "yes it's true its a lament, you can't have everything in life." Yasser's high af in this one, I was laughing my ass off half of the lecture because or the other time he was like "but relaaaaax it's all good..." lololol
I haven’t heard a friendlier voice since Mr. Rogers
El cámara se ha quedado dormido, no sigue los movimientos del maestro en el tablero.... que mal.
Make sure to leave a like!
These videos are amazing and should have alot closer like to view ratio.

*Spicy*
At 20:02 you cant take back with the rook the pawn on a2 is hanging .
double that - this guy is one of a kind :)
why not play f4 at minute 26...instead of Bd3?
Isn't qa5 possible going after the e4 pawn because the pin on the knight 3:45
Good for falling asleep
love his lectures but he limits his impact by not using the computer to highlight moves. The RUclips viewer misses a lot of his lecture.
Too shortened in editing. Where is the rest?
Is it just me or 7... Ng4 transposes into some sort of a Leningrad Dutch?
Too often in chess videos it is hard to tell the difference the letters b, c, d, e when spoken. They should use military radio code by calling them bravo, charlie, delta, echo.
time to upgrade your audio
What about continuation?
Can someone explain why white can't just take with the queen at 23:55?
White queen takes knight, black queen takes queen, white pawn takes queen, black king takes bishop. The material is equal, but this is undesirable for white because of his slightly inferior position (with double pawns), and playing as white you usually want to come out with a slight edge, rather than equal or slightly worse.
Where can I find the full lecture?
It's tragic that GM Seirawan does not indicate his move suggestions on the computer screen, preferring to show them by hand unlike most other lecturers I've enjoyed watching on this channel.. The lack of activity on the board ruined this for me.
at 26:00, how does Bg4 look to you?
14:28
Too many variations are on the board we can't see. Other than that very good.
What I dont like is that eventhough he has the computer board, he keeps using the projector one, and I cant follow shit. Hope someone brings it to his attention!
👍
Hey, not sure if it's my monitor or not but the video keeps getting blurry and it's really hard to watch, this is the second video where I noticed it
Born teacher??}. No doubt ;-)

What's wrong with e5 at 13:00?
+Du du e5 is an awful move- it limits the range of your bishop on g7, creates the backwards pawn on d6 and weakens the d5 square (the knight could use this an outpost)
+Kevin Gu true, don't know what I was thinking about.
22:45 Nxg2 a its a better version of the same idea
then they take your rook buddy
It 's pronounced ''ma'rochi'' like in the word ''ch''air.
Athenian888 As a Hungarian I must tell you are wrong. If you imagine it written with 'tz' you're closer to the truth.
