Akobian is a brilliant chess player. I've learned so much from him.

Akobian - one of greatest chess teachers.

[@kromm-li7ek]

[@santosozhang1985]

GM Akobian is one of the best chess teacher, I've learned a lot from him. Thank You very much Mr. Akobian.

[@Olibelus]

Akobian is an amazing teacher, but Carlsen is on another level. The master of all masters.

[@aravindgundakaram1830]

Wait a minute.....after Bxa6, can Akobian not trap the queen?

[@planahath]

Yes that's true. 18.Bxa6?? Rxa6 and if 19.Qxa6 Bc4 traps the queen. Both players missed this!

[@onelessowl]

I think that's what they were discussing after. He points right to a6.

[@kingcarisma]

Akobian is a good GM.. but against Carlsen he has no chance

[@benjaminvmobile]

In the last game, you can't touch a piece and then take your hand off of it without it even moving? -- and it counts as a move? Could someone please explain?

[@rhandelsumampong2070]

she needs to take the bishop because she touched it, resulting to a checkmate

[@thetopgtube]

If you touch a piece you have to move it.
