Only five minutes in, and I remember why I love Akobian's teaching style. The fundamentals, the openings, the basics... skip through their variations with simple refutations because this is Middle-Game class. The moment something critical comes up, the part of the game where most beginners rush and don't think about making critical, non-theoretical moves, he slows down and encourages people to think around an idea. "How to activate the light squared bishop?", he asks. And in that, we students (if patient enough to harbor his style) learn to ask the same questions when all of the theory and the memorizing is over.

@@Thaumazo83 Afaik, he hadn't done any lectures on a game he lost way back when OP commented, but sometime a bit before this reply, he did a lecture on the final of the 2017 US Championship, which he lost. I mean, it could certainly be an ego thing, but I also think it's probably just much easier to talk about a game you won, where you know why you played every move and were in your opponent's head enough to understand what they were going for.

@Thaumazo83 2 жыл бұрын

@@wmichaelbooth I suppose it's in the "My greatest losses" series, where Var was forced to talk about a loss. The practice of talking mostly or exclusively about one's wins is common among GMs. My coach, an FM, does sometimes talk about his losses. Stjepan on the "Hanging Pawns" channel (rated about 2000) comments on all of his tournament games, regardless of result. Fischer's famous book with 60 games features three losses. Other GMs that are famous on the web, like Ben Finegold, seem to be a bit more open than Var to talk about losses, but it's just a hunch. I'd say Var's behavior is only slightly above (or below, depending on how you see it) standard GM practice. Nothing exceptional, by all means.

@Thaumazo83 2 жыл бұрын

@@wmichaelbooth I'd like to add that I started playing chess from zero in 2018, and I was in my 30s. Now I'm still a total patzer with a rating lower than 1500, but Var's videos from St. Louis were my first contact with real chess, were very important for my understanding of the game, and unleashed my passion toward chess. I enormously enjoy Var as a teacher and appreciate his "Russian" focus on the endgame. So, my comment wasn't meant to be a criticism of him, I was just stating a fact.

Var is a very strong Grandmaster! He has beaten many strong players in his career. Plus what's wrong with showing a win against a 2300? I mean when a 2600 (Var) plays against a 2300, sometimes 2300 looks like a 1500.. It's not about the rating of the players.. It is about learning something from this great lecture!
