Varuzhan is such a good teacher and so patient with the kids. I've spent hours and hours learning from him on these videos.Thank you for posting these!
"Simply The Greatest " The Dr. Edwards Deming of chess. Pure Quality! Congratulations! Akobian you are a Super GM and a Great teacher with excellent pedagogical skill!
Congrats GM Akobian! You are an excellent teacher and do very well with the kids. It is great to see someone with your patience and willingness to share your knowledge with the next generation. Thank you!
Just watched for 2nd time since 8 weeks ago and I was still scratching my head on some of them. There was a few I still didn’t find until he gave the clue.
Варужан, Ваши лекции, в отличие от большинства прочих, обладают удивительными свойствами: они назидательны, но не нравоучительны, зажигательны и информативны одновременно. Я вижу в Вас очень доброго человека. Бегиннер (такой, как я) неожиданно чувствует себя не земляным червяком на фоне идей и партий гигантов, а вовлечённым участником. Спасибо Вам! :)))
but if this class is for kids i guess im really behind in chess since it feels appropriate to me XD i never had any lessons i just know the rules of the game lol
kantrzyn also, more genuine. You wouldn't see an adult say "oh I know it's Queen to H5 check" and then say "I don't know the next move" like you see in the video. He would just be quiet. And by not participating you don't learn as much as these kids do.
kantrzyn not in this case all were stumped the 1st tactic one should notice is the black kn ight on e8 cuts the communication between the black queen and the rook on f 8, the d7 pawn would not be able to capture on e6 if the white knight on d4 were to infiltrate on e6 this is how tatics are thought of one must understand the position and the nuances of it before any calculations are even thought of I noticed these things within 40 seconds yes I have been playing for 30 years and have beaten masters but these kids just are looking for moves without understanding there are very concrete positional clues here where tactical possibilities can arise from, being able to analyse a position is invaluable they can study all the openings and engames they want but if one cannot access a position correctly then none of that will be of any use as good opening play will be for naught and they will miss tactical opportunities and eventually the game
@@Uffareel First of all i'm an absolute beginner.I know the rules since childhood and started playing more than 3 Games a year a few weeks ago. So i probably don't know what i'm talking about. I still think you should teach them both. Understanding your position and knowing openings, certain moves and so on. To understand your position and have a sense what's going on right now with some mid- to longtime goal in mind is key to mastering chess. But learning certain moves and openings is in my opinion strengthening your game sense by a lot. Because you learn moves that are far beyond of what you would think of. And while playing it you are going to understand the thought processes behind it on your own which should result in strengthening gamesense etc. Correct me if i'm wrong please. I'd love to get some good tipps and learning methods to get better.
33:50 why not play queen f5 and if he moves his queen then checkmate on h7. Also when disputing Qf5 he says the pawn is already under attack. But, about QE4 he says "we're increasing the pressure on the bishop" then why arent you increasing the pressure on the pawn in the first move. Surely checkmate is very strong pressure. Am i missing something or what?
It would be nice if I had someone during the game, who could ask me the right questions to give me a hint about what my best move is. It would be better if I could ask the right questions to find the best move for myself.
After Qxa1 Black lost three minor pieces while White lost Bishop and Rook so the result is White has two minor pieces vs Black Rook. Or u can see the pieces in the board after all exchanges happened, you will see the difference
loool that was so funny ! 33:00 "qh5" "qh5 you only threat checkmate , must be a double attack" "Bf5" "but that only attacks the queen! " "NO, THE BISHOP ATTACKS THE QUEE AND THE PAWN " heheh nice video
Great vid... The kids are sooo freaking annoying, my friends and I like to joke around that since parents don't want to pay for a babysitter, they just send them places where people will watch them and then come pick them up later lol... Can't fill a cup that's already full.
I don't think so, because the parents will pay for the Chess Lessons from Akobian, or the Chess Club. And they also will lose a lot of time in traffic, as i imagine that Saint Louise is not a small city. If they hire a babysitter they only have to go back home, and not lose that much time in traveling.
I would lose my mind with those kids.
Good job staying calm and explaining the material perfectly GM Akobian!
Varuzhan is such a good teacher and so patient with the kids. I've spent hours and hours learning from him on these videos.Thank you for posting these!
Sir you are my favorite GM of all time !
These classes are great - I will watch them all if available
"Simply The Greatest " The Dr. Edwards Deming of chess. Pure Quality! Congratulations! Akobian you are a Super GM and a Great teacher with excellent pedagogical skill!
i feel the same about this teacher .. amazing
Absolutely love how Varuzhan acknowledges his students’ choices and helps them understand a better way.
I am 43 years old, and I love these sessions. However, every time one of your kids gives a better answer, I can't help but feel a little bit stupid :)
For once, it's almost feels good to feel a bit stupid (I'm 76!)
We realy love your teaching.
Finegold was right. The kids WILL point out that you are also attacking a completely protected pawn.
Congrats GM Akobian! You are an excellent teacher and do very well with the kids. It is great to see someone with your patience and willingness to share your knowledge with the next generation. Thank you!
Great lesson! Thank you Mr. Akobian
Just watched for 2nd time since 8 weeks ago and I was still scratching my head on some of them. There was a few I still didn’t find until he gave the clue.
I have learnt a lot from your videos and improved a lot in my games
Wish I had a teacher like him, when I was in school.
This teacher is very good!
What a great teacher!

You are my second fav gm after finglord
I like how he teach step by step. Good teacher.
I love your videos mr. akobian!
he has lots of patience coaching these kids.. i felt like i was going to explode
but if this class is for kids i guess im really behind in chess since it feels appropriate to me XD i never had any lessons i just know the rules of the game lol
Himu Yashiro Same here
Himu Yashiro but you need to have patience in chess.
Very instructive..great annotations by GM Akobian!
This is an amazing lesson, even if it's meant for kids very interesting games.
Fantastic tutor.
as i see with other people i really enjoy these tutorials as an adult
I really enjoy these videos, Akobian is a great teacher :)
I wonder why this is for the kids... I think this video is great for all the beginners like me
Park min because the kids are usually more clever than the adults :)
kantrzyn also, more genuine. You wouldn't see an adult say "oh I know it's Queen to H5 check" and then say "I don't know the next move" like you see in the video. He would just be quiet. And by not participating you don't learn as much as these kids do.

Happy Teachers day Coach
28:29 after Nxf7, isn't Nd7b6 a good move? Sorry I'm commenting to this 8 years late.
great teaching !
These guys lectures are gold! Well done GM Akobian, hopefully we'll get more lectures from him.
33:50 why not play queen f5 and if he moves his queen then checkmate on h7. Also when disputing Qf5 he says the pawn is already under attack. But, about QE4 he says "we're increasing the pressure on the bishop" then why arent you increasing the pressure on the pawn in the first move. Surely checkmate is very strong pressure.

Qxf5 Bxf5 Bf6 and you didn't win anything.
Thanks alot Akobian you are a maazing !!!
Great video
Great Sir.
40:07 Bxf2+ and then move rook?
Yeah, it's the "best" move for black but white wins anyway.
@22:31 bxf7 is also good after King takes Qc4 and knight can hope to g5-> e6 !?
I was looking at that combo as well
i think after Ng5+ , Kg6 is better
GREAT TEACHER !!!!!!!!!!!!!
It would be nice if I had someone during the game, who could ask me the right questions to give me a hint about what my best move is. It would be better if I could ask the right questions to find the best move for myself.
14:20 ROOK TO E4 FOR MATE I THINK.
At 5:40 why doesn't black just take the pawn on c2 to gain material equality? Nxc2+ Qxc2 Kg7
Akobian is my chess teacher
"it's a triple attack!"
😂
fischer reshevsky bxf7 looks good, wish he would explain what was wrong with it.
I don't see why bxf7 looks good because black can recapture with king or rook, so you're just trading a bishop for a pawn..
At time 28:36, while pawn at d5, Wouldn't be good enough that Black can move the king to e8 and continue the game?
At 5:40, isn't it THREE minor pieces in exchange for the white rook?
No because the black night took the white bishop on b3--so the net result is 2 minor pieces for the rook.
md65000 Thanks!
He works very nice with the kids--encourages well, but doesn't pressure them or undercut them.
such a pitty so little kids already have such a good trainer.Damn if i had started chess as a kid with sucha good trainger i might be master..
are you a master yet..?
31:16 Rook to G8 is good move ?
well , it's a good move but you just prolonging the mate which is in a couple of moves .
Milijan Mosić queen takes knight
Regards from INDIA
GM Var
5:15, two minor pieces for a rook? White lost the bishop (b3) and the rook (a1) right?
6:04 black also has six pawns. Lol
yes, black lost bishop and knight, white lost rook and pawn. Both 6 points worth
After Qxa1 Black lost three minor pieces while White lost Bishop and Rook so the result is White has two minor pieces vs Black Rook. Or u can see the pieces in the board after all exchanges happened, you will see the difference
Black lost two knights and a bishop.
AND the pawn
FANTASTIC akobian
less squares..... That kid is going to be a GM
I'm Sicilyan! :D
***** then defend yourself! :D
:D
how does he keep his cool. the second fischer game some of the suggestion were so stupid.
You are watching a kids' class doesn't that make you stupid? 🙄
he might be a kid him self.
Cool video,though
Thank's Simon
Why am I falling for him?
Bcz you love chess.
Am i right?
good
video
hmm... noob question: when the black king moved to h3, why didn't the white pawn in h2 checkmate the king???
loool that was so funny ! 33:00 "qh5" "qh5 you only threat checkmate , must be a double attack" "Bf5" "but that only attacks the queen! " "NO, THE BISHOP ATTACKS THE QUEE AND THE PAWN " heheh nice video
Those kids are saying everything but the right thing

Honestly imo, if they were taught manners and not ignored. They for one have common sense, as well as patience. Inherently lazy, the parents are.
I don't think so, because the parents will pay for the Chess Lessons from Akobian, or the Chess Club.
And they also will lose a lot of time in traffic, as i imagine that Saint Louise is not a small city.

When clicking on a "Kid's class video", one should expect kids and kid-like behavior in it.
@@resingbg true
@@sunraiii Your right. I am a kid and even I know that my behavior is slightly crazy !😝
Next tame i will take all of yoiur pisses .
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
"we have something better that that .ishh" ;D hahah
these romper room videos are painful to watch.
