In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov will teach you middlegame strategy. A lot of the chess players ask this question: "What to do in the early middlegame stage, right after the opening?"
It is more or less clear what needs to be done in the opening stage of a chess game - you have to develop your central pawns, develop your knights, develop your bishops, and then castle your king. But what to do after that? What should be your middlegame plan?
That is exactly what you will learn from GM Igor Smirnov in this video lesson. He will give you step-by-step instructions that will help you understand the middlegame strategy and planning.
There are a lot of chess videos, books, and courses out there that teach you how to play different openings, endgame theories, tactical puzzles, etc. But most of them don't teach you the most fundamental things you should know to improve your chess skills. This video teaches you just that!

Thank you. Now I just have to master openings & the endgame 😂👍
Well can we have a game.just to test yourself???
@@futuremagnus1393 Fuck yeah homie. Bring it on lol
First the endgame, then the middle game, and at the end, the openings.
Sooooo. You only gotta master basically the most important parts😆 noice
for beginners u shouldnt really focus on many openings. You should mostly focus on middle game and endgame but u can do whatever u want
Thanks! I’ve found when playing the computer my opening structure seems far superior but I’m always dominated in middle game. There are some good tips here.
Thank you. Your style and pace are perfect for my learning style. I’m grateful for all the free material you provide. I’m now beating players I used to lose to consistently. All the best, Igor.
I think most people who come here genuinely learn a lot about the game !
Thank you GM Igor and please keep teaching!!
Simple but powerful and immensely helpful. Thank you!
great lesson about the middlegame strategy and attacking approaches.
Both helpful and refreshing. Thanks Igor.
Such good grounds to know and practice, thank You for this instructive and inspiring video!
Most instructive Video for myself. Thank you!
This is so good. It gives you some concrete steategies for the middlegame
Great video as always.
Excellent!
Nice gm smirnov
Gives a lot of information
Awesome video man
Really great video thank yoy
Thank you!!
Good explanation
Thanks!!!
Great video
Thank you
Amazing
Me during opening: muahahahahaha i am a master of the board!
Me during middle game: whoops. Whoopsy. Uh oh. Ooooo.
This video helped a lot. I am pretty good at openings and end games but I'm not good at middle games and that causes over half of my losses. Now I am a little more confident in my middle games 😃👍
Glad it helped!
Thank you. I just signed up for your free masterclass. I've been stuck in the 1700's (Elo) for too long and struggle in the middle game. I seem to be blind to my opponent's candidate moves, and even my own!
I’m stuck at 900, and this is my exact story
Amazing vid
Right off the bat you told me what I suspected was my biggest issue. My rooks, and my queen. I always develop them too late and just get flustered mid game
thanks

Thank you from Indonesia
Loool thanks to you i can play with some intense aggrassive-ness😂 no hate, your accent is great, the way you say “bushup” makes me chuckle too 😅 thank u for the advice, new to chess and its definitely starting to feel more natural now that im about 25-50 games in
Terima kasih
I just played this exact open
I am a proud owner of your monumental book on the Scandinavian. I did hear that some GMs have felt that they can criticize some of your lines. And that you were planning to respond. Can you update me on the situation and perhaps provide some links?
Why u put ur pawn to risk on center pawn..
If the center the most important to control

👍👍
My Strategy is to go Hikaru nakamura mode and plan out a whole checkmate and the pieces needed then make space by trading the un needed pieces then Go for the checkmate
Hi igor thanks for the videos. I just have one queation can i become a GM at the age of 12? Right now im 31 years old.
Are you unemployed and homeless?
@@alien3200 both
ایگوربهترینه Igor your is best
I’m sacrificing that black bishop
That pawn touching the edge of the square is killing me. I adjust I adjust please!!!!!
Maybe i should just quit chess cuz after the much time I wasted learning it, i don't improve. I just find myself in a losing endgame from every game i play i just need some advice
Heyy Dawg , keep on playing mann , you will improve eventually , when I began I was 600 and after 3 to 4 months , am a 900 ELO player , see I improved , even you can , just get good resources
It took me 3 years but I went from 800 to ~1700 Elo.
Look up John Bartholomew’s chess fundamentals on UA-cam I think it will be really helpful for you.
If you are below 1,000 Elo I would suggest really focusing on hanging pieces because you and your opponents are going to give lots of opportunity to just give pieces up for free.
After that focus on building pattern recognition through puzzles and opening theory.
Me too. There is always a move from your opponent that you don't forsee. It ends up being frustrating.
Is it normal in chess for majority of wins to turn out in stalemate (as in all opponents r dead except the king resulting in an infinite game) or am i just a noob?😅
Just means your end game approach needs to change. Maybe your trading too much in the middle game? Not protecting your hanging pieces? If you can keep at least one other piece alive, even a pawn, you can win the endgame. Stalemates should be a very small percentage of your games and they're usually cause by the person winning not realizing they just screwed their chances at mate. Just protect your pieces and make sure you're not losing an uneven amount of material. You're really just a few mating lessons away from not being stuck in stalemates. Also, look up what causes stalemates and how to avoid it when you're winning. You will be okay its easy to fix this.
"White is really confused."
Yes. I am...
Ok
Everything in this video makes sense but after trying to implement some ideas I dropped from 801 into the 500s.
That's natural considering you're changing the way you play the middle game, just trust the process and soon you will be back to your original ELO and you will even get a higher peak
If you have developed your pieces each piece is attacking something or protecting something or both, if you move it you have just unprotected something, so be wary of every move you make, ask yourself what squares have I just weakened with this move, and am I gaining more than I am losing with this move.
Same
Well, develop your queen and rooks are still tips of opening, not middle game.
