Anish Giri vs Pentala Harikrishna, Norway Chess (2016): C11 French, Steinitz variation
Love how Akhobian goes step by step and has the audience figure out what to do. Great for people of all skill levels.
akobi is the best, plz analyze more tigran petrosian games plzzzzz
Very impressive study. I always enjoy Var's studies. Excellent work.
I really like GM Akobians' analysis and style.
"Always very exciting to see a French victory."
Was waiting for some flowers to be put in front of the HP logo....
Var is my favorite.
I like how akobian explains chess
Why does the audio sound like it was recorded under Phelps swimming pool with Bolt running over the top of it?? LOL Nevermind good lecture and the first game might convince me to play the French.
there is just something about this guy`s face that makes me laugh
Great lecture!
Akobian is my favourite teacher
Very instructive
Excellent lecture!
Good stuff but sounds like it was recorded in a swimming pool balcony
At 21:20 isn't possible to play Nxa2? If Rook takes the knight, then a possible continuation is: Re1, followed by Ng1 (if Nxe1, there is checkmate in 1 with Rf1) and Rf1, regaining the knight.
At 23:31 with respect to your instructive video, what if white plays Ne6 doubling the attacking of the g7 pawn?
great game
19:08 Anybody else notice d4? If white plays Qxd4, black replies Qxd4, and if Nxd4, then Rxd1#! And if Nxd4, then Rxd1+, Qxd1, Qxd4 wins a piece for black. And if Nxc3, dxc3 and the pawn will eventually promote. Akobian is a great teacher, and I enjoy his lectures the most out of all the people who teach at this club, but I'm kind of surprised he missed this
It bugged me too so I fed the position to the computer. It says it's a draw after Ng5!! threatening Qh7#. And if hxg5 there's a perpetual after Rxf8, Qf1+ and Qf7+.
Akobi best
@5:28 - these moves are nothing to sneeze at.
Terrible !
Where is Finegold?
analyze more petrosian games
Instead of taking on e6, could white have played f6 instead to open up some lines on black's king in exchange for a pawn?
Never mind, I paused the video as i was watching to type this, but Akobian addressed it right after :o
is the sound bad for anyone else? :/
If it's one thing I know about youtube it is that the sound is the same for everyone.
lol, thought it might be my headphones acting up. Thanks anyway.
Subtitle disturbing,no need of subtitle
Akobian is the best !!!
Very nice lecture, but 1 thing bothered me, after 3.. Nf6 he said that white is forced to play e5, but 4. Bg5 is maybe even more popular move these days, he should atleast mention that..
Bg5 is not popular at all at grandmaster level, Be7, Bb4 and dxe4 are all fine for black
Well, If you go on chesstempo database, and you put in rating above 2500, Bg5 is played 1741 times and e5 is played 1214 times, so I think that 4.Bg5 is a pretty decent move, but even that is not my point here, my point here is that white is not forced to play 4.e5, and that should be mentioned here..
This video isn't about teaching every variation of the french defense, it's about showing that game. That's why he doesn't talk about opening theory in very much depth.
Qa8!! :D very suspicious
good idea for me ......
I really dont understand why Var insists on knowing the names of openings and variations. i know all the moves of many openings but dont really care about knowing the name.
its better to know the moves and ideas than learning the names.
Also please get Var to show his loss against Wesley So where wesley sacrificed his knight and rook and destroyed var. var said "you learn from your mistakes". Come on show your loss against wesley , not your wins against 14 year old kids.
Names of lines are important for several reasons: it helps you remember the moves and the flavour of the position, and it makes you learn culture, and you don't want to be an ignorant, right? to name only two reasons... it also helps comunicating with other players, it extends a net on your brain for other openings with the same name, etc. Thanks Akobian for your lectures, my favorite here, sharing first place with Seirawan and Finegold.
salt?
