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*
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 !
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
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.
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.
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.
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 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
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.
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.
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)
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..

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.
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
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 UA-cam ? 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.
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
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!
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 🙏
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 UA-cam!!😇
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
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
Best teacher ever don't change your style! Great lecture
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.
i want to sit in a classs like this .. with some coffee and a notebook
yesss
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.
At 12:35 I thought Yassir Seirawan was going to fly away.
Yasser's got the best lectures. He really does.
Thanks Yassir for enhancing my understanding and analytical skills regarding positions especially in the combative sicilians!!!!
Thank you so much for putting up these videos!! Yasser is my favorite!!
Man the intro/outro music is great.
Always enjoy GM Seirawan's lecture what an excellent teacher!
Excellent teaching! I’m sold on Yasser! Well done sir!
Wow, this was really deep and great analysis! Thank you Yasser!
Yassser-Best chess lecturer I have ever seen
what a beautiful lecture truly an eloquent and highly effective teacher also very fun to listen to! thx!!:)
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.
this guy calms me down.
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!
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.
I'm getting into the hyper dragon and this is gold. Every move is explained slowly. So good.
Excellent lecture.
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.
A wonderful teaching style and so much knowledge
This guy put a lot of smile on my face. 😁
I just learned an opening called "the accelerated dragon" from the Mr. Rodgers of chess. It's a great day in the neighborhood.
THIS should be in Unintentional ASMR
This man is amazing at explaining chess. This lecture is gold.
I like how he explains everthing.
Never felt like he was taking a class in another place in a different point of time!
My favourite opening greatly explained
استاذ ياسر طريقه شرحه جميلة جدا هادية وممتعة
36:34 yay
Love when he say "This SPECIFIC position"
Great lecturer. Reminds me of one of my favorite math teachers.
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.
Love Yasser’s lectures
Not every GM at his level shares hints . Yasser is one of the best
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.
Yaz you the best!
Love this guy
he reminds me of Chuck from Better Call Saul series, but in a good way
I needed it to be more deep... He's the best teacher.
Great lesson, learned loads. Thanks!😁
great lecture...too bad a lot of it is off screen and not visible
I like how he deliver
I love Yasser's lectures!
I would like to see the adult class lecture on this same topic.
I am deeply benefited from it
Thanks to you sir
Is there a second part to it? It kind of ended at a surprising moment.
this guys voice is so sophisticated. this is what i imagine a chess player should be like .
Awesome Instructor!
This guy is an incredible teacher, I'd love to attend one of his lessons if he is still teaching chess.
Thank you for this.
so far i played the classic dragon.. i ended up trying the accel.. dragon :D thx yasser
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.
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
The voice of an angel
45:30 deep doodoo 😆 Never heard that
making tough things look easy! Thank you

@@Am_Ende Don't mention it! I'm glad it was useful!!
great lecture if you put the speed on 1.25.
Sweet Uncle Yass
Brilliant!
at 44:36 I think on Qa5 check white should play Qd2 instead of Bd2
If Qd2 instead of Bd2, …QXd2+ BXd2 BXd4
Qxd2, Kxd2
@@tdekoekkoek Still ....B×d4
@@ShubhamJangid21 Then Bxd4 and white is better
@@tdekoekkoek There is no Bishop for white to take on d4
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)
I want Yasser's voice on audio books
1.25 speed is just perfect on any GM Yasser videos lol
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..
Great Video !!! Thanks very much !!!
at 27:01 if a pawn pushed white takes with the bishop and we cant take e4
Although I play the classical Sicilian I just need to watch this yassers to great.
i love this guy
Thanks Sir
Sweetest voice ever
Thank you so much .
Really want to see Yasser play bullet
What a gentleman 😍
34:49 why doesn't white play Nxc6 after a5?
Lee Chang exactly. White is actually winning after he captures on c6 and then moves his knight to b6 after black recaptures with pawn.
Tiger Lily then a pawn takes your bishop? Wot
His voice is so soothing lol
Dude is the Bob Ross of chess
this is some top tier before bed content
Coming back again to check why my game did not go as smoothly as Yasser explained here XD
good video
