- Grandmaster Yasser Seirawan shows examples of increasingly difficult pawn breakthroughs. Even when the position looks perfectly symmetrical there are ways to get a passed pawn.

I could listen to Yasser all day long. Such a calm easygoing teacher.
"Okay. This may come as a little suprise, but may I introduce my bamboo stick!" -Yasser 2018
i dont mean to be so off topic but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an instagram account?
I was dumb lost my account password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.
@Gregory Axton Instablaster =)
@Gavin Blaze I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Gavin Blaze It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account!
@Gregory Axton Glad I could help xD
"To show understanding, you don't make a queen." *laughs* "You make a rook".
That's gold!
Could make a knight and mate next move
Or resign for that matter :P
ApiolJoe I would promote to a knight. Gives the other player a chance to show understanding ;)
@@ApiolJoe A bishop will mate next move too. Thats a way for religious people.
Finding a Yasser video in your feed is like waking up to find your wife cooking your favorite meal. It's little stuff like this that makes life kinda good.
Yasser's lectures are always such a treat :D
*edit:* It's heartwarming when a super-GM still remembers the 1700-rated player who showed him some basic concepts early on... the power of teaching :')
Also, I think some of these positions were also the material of (much) earlier lectures. Yasser seems really proud of that endgame - and rightly so. It requires deep, concrete calculation and looks like balancing on a razor's edge the whole time. Absolutely beautiful!
Jason Doe Uerdue can you help me out? How at 35:04
1 pawn g5
2 pawn captures g5
3 pawn f4 recaptures g5
4 pawn h5 goes to h6
5 pawn g7 captures h6
6 pawn g5 recaptures
How does this not win? Is the king fast enough somehow?
This mans heart for chess is bigger than the heart of an elephant. You can clearly see how much he adores the art of the game.
This guy always puts such a huge smile on my face!
“I belong to pawn grabbers anonymous” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
His calm voice calms my heart
Liked this just seeing the title and Yasser in the thumbnail. "Gift me the pawn"
Make a rook, Yasser? Despicable! Obviously at 34:29 we make a knight and play Nf6# next move!
I really like his way of commenting games/positions. Calm, funny and insightful. Very grateful that such a world class player "sacks" his time to teach noobs like me some lessons.
More Yasser😁
why, He wasted 5 min on what every Russian schoolboy knows!

Отличное видео, Гроссмейстер!
The winning variation Hou Yifan missed against Fabiano in the Grenke Classic is also a very nice pawnbreak.
Thank you SLCC. This production quality is simply awesome.
yasser probably has the most calming voice to listen to
What an amazing lecture title.
More Yasser!!!
I love your "oooopsss!!!!"😂😂😂
Excellent as always I really enjoy these.
Push em baby
Ooohhhh baaaabyyy
Yeah baby
Yasser would make an excellent sphynx
God bless you Yasser
Yasser 🐐 chess teacher
Very instructional as always! :)
As someone that has no patience for endgames this was extremely entertaining.
34:30 to truly show understanding you should instead promote to a knight or bishop to further disrespect them and still achieve checkmate since there king is completely cut off and is forced to push their pawn
Yasser, the good ol' swagger.
lovely as Always :)
Great content!
¡Mas Yasser!
I can’t believe Yasser didn’t know how to Queen!
When I was in Seattle I already knew - from reading the continuation from the Yugoslav GM, Svetozar Gligorić.
Whatever makes it happy sets it free!!!!!!
34:34 promote a knight to g8 and mate on f6 !
Or a bishop! All promotions win!
That is cute
Even better would be to promote to a knight, move it to h6, then back to g8 and then to f6 mate just after black made a queen
Yasser is the Mr. Rogers of chess
Where's little eric?
Almost spit out my drink when I read this. That was a hilarious moment on stream.
Great Stuff
I remember my high school teammates showing me the initial puzzle as a sort of rite of passage. The kings were on a3/a1, so it was more obvious I needed to move the pawns and not the kings.
But I remember eventually brute forcing the solution and feeling proud of it and passing it on a few years later. It can be frustrating to remember, but there are only so many moves and combinations possible.
In the meantime, I played a few games where I and my opponents both missed that sort of breakthrough (a computer showed me years later.) So I really like this example on top of the puzzle.
I saw the 4-on-4 study years later in Kmoch's Pawn Power in Chess. It was worth looking through but would've been even better as a video--like this.

WHATEVER MAKES ME HAPPY AND SETS YOU FREE
Yasser = Thumbs Up Button
Més Yasser!
A much needed endgame refresher. Ive been quite mediocre as of late
This position remembering me to a book, which has started me to play chess !
It was "Kurt Richter - Der Weg zum Matt", printed in the 40's as a "Sonderdruck für das Oberkommando der deutschen Wehrmacht". This is not a joke ! This was my first chess-book ! 1996 ! Life is a joke sometimes.
A new Yasser video?? Yes, please!
very nice... to show understanding , you need to make a bishop on g8 . :)
The film i just saw was called "The secret life of dogs" about what dogs do when they are left at home for hours, they bark, howl, detroy shoes and furniture. So now i wonder what my pawns do when i go to work - but i guess thats not Yassers topic!
very instructive endgame
I'd like to see Mr. Seirawan and Mr. Kummer in one lesson together :D
My idea started as a joke but the more i think about it, ... it would be great.
Wihout a doubt, Mr. Kummer can learn something, but it would be great to see how they both talk about some games or positions.
btw.: More Yasser :)
we need Yasser to do a Ben Finegold impression!
Exceptional
PUSH EM BABY!
Who is that in the picture on the wall?
Like before watching :)
#MoreYasser :D
Can someone please tell me the name of the book Yasser was looking at 8:11? Thanks in advance!
To answer my own question:it is yassers book winning chess endings
1:28 this puzzle is beautiful.

I've heard some chess players say they love endgames, and it's their favourite part of the game. Starting to get why now!
What is this software he is using?

Yasser is the best, okay maybe Svidler is just as good!
Thanks Thanks Thanks Thanks Thanks Thanks Thanks

It depends. Is it the third Tuesday of the month?
I can't decipher coded replies>> r u related to the Zodiac?
It definitely is the third Tuesday of the month
may I introduce my bamboo stick
We're have all these yasser videos been hiding ?
Thank you, Yasser. Now I feel really stupid...and just a little bit smarter. : )
King king king king king king king king
Nice
Very complex pawn puzzle. We have to be very cautious.
At 34:30 I would make night or bishop for fun
OG YASSER
can somebody explain to me why 5 people does not like this video?:)
speed 1.25, perfect
Play the mini game in the game, that's fun.
Push 'em baby!
love a new yasser vid.....but please, the new music is so bad
Even 2x speed is slower
Ooooooohhhhh
He is bob ross and benicio del toro combined
33:21, g6
try speeding it up to 1.5. YW
You have a UA-cam button for exactly that purpose, if you haven't noticed. Oh yes, and now I take your undefended Queen, if you didn't notice.
I guess I'll take your king
"The king cannot prevent me from queening". XD
Paws are the weakest pieces in chess. But pawns can be used to defend king and can be used to impossible things.
You really need to listen to the first few minutes of the videos you upload.
I love pawns,I like grabbing them!
Good lecturer but there's only one thing he doesn't do right, he sets any moves bad or good as a main line in the program.
Rrock Cj I saw dat..yea, but he's still d best at teaching
the secret life of pawns lol
uUuUuUuUuUuhhhh...!
this guy should try to talk much softer, too much aggression in his muffled monotone
To show understanding, you promote to a rook? lol I've never heard that before, but ok. Is that so you can brag that you only promoted to a rook and still won? lol
POOR AUDIO :-(
