Very instructive lecture. This game, combined with the clear explanation, has many strategic ideas I hope I'll be able to incorporate. Even if it's only a little I'm sure it helps my play. Thanks, as always, for the upload. Keep it up

mr GM varuzhan you are the best master perfect

Thank you again. This is really helpful.

Very interesting, especially the final!

This video is amazing

Best teacher ever!

He's my chess instructor and close friend go VAR👍

good stuff !

I like Akobian my favorite

great idea ....

4:41 is an error. Black is not in trouble after Nb5, that is equality. Nb5 just unprotected the e2 pawn, the queen is not trapped.

minute 27:11 black can move c4 and go with double pawn less in ending

A lot of things I don't understand same why a5 for black is not good move

10:00 Houdini gives e4 the top move and black shouldn't take the pawn because of the activity in the center after Ne5. Though I respect that this is very difficult for humans to see and calculate. It looks like white can't play e4 but in fact can with advantage.

After white plays Nb5, black must save his rook on a8. Then a move like Be1 wins the black queen because it's trapped just like he said. Rb1 is coming and black will lose his queen or at least a piece in some variations. This is a strong GM and he knows what he says!

not true. put it into houdini and see the truth. strong gm make errors sometimes. this is one of those times. maybe you are looking at the wrong position. go to the position in 4:41 where he says the queen is trapped. the queen is not trapped. the e3 pawn is hanging, no longer protected by the knight. I could be wrong but houdini would be wrong too.

best one among GM

Chess!

according to Fritz anyway..

nice anylyse

10:00 the best move is 15. e4

Excellent positional lecture. Now if I could only find people to play that don't exchange all the pieces by move 20...

Akobian

Daniel Manahan is right I think... the black queen is not trapped. after ...Qxb2 Nb5, ...a6 solves black's problems.

Maybe that is your problem as well. You should position your pieces on squares where opponent can't exchange them!

If you are so smart, put the position in Fritz and beat it. Sorry but arguing with you is pointless i am not going to bring myself to this level of lack of logic. If X is true why are you afraid of the proof of X? just test X, and prove it is true. why are you so defensive? just prove it is true without saying Houdini is wrong. logical fallacy: ad hominem.
