i love the way he plays a move and lets you think for a good ten seconds before playing the next
very humble and respecting

[@drorbh11]

Best lecturer from st. louis!

[@hugoreynoso67]

I also like Seirawan

[@lovesYxel]

The way he laughed at Caleb's moves was savage 😂😂

[@sazomere9467]

When I started chess, Sir Akobian did not have grey hair. You are so much of a father character for me Sir.

[@jimgardoufy3647]

Akobian laughing like a toddler had me laughing. Love this guy

[@danielplainview2360]

I see Mr. Akobian has turned to the Dark Side. I'm loving it.

[@jeremybowman4847]

always enjoy his honest analysys. Being a d4 player primarily, I find it helpful

[@ismailmalif5100]

[@skakofilsanonims4434]

More Akobian please!

[@musicguitar]

He’s awesome! Looking forward to meeting him one day. Excellent lecturer!

[@manojkumartibrewal4558]

Excellent teacher among so many . Stands out . Better and clear communication . Emphasis at right points - His points - some time very useful in actual life - Focus , Think , at this stage what which piece we can improve - Calculate deeply etc

[@alainmaltais-gosselin9492]

As a french player, his idea of playing 1.E6 agaisnt d4 players to transpose in french just blowed my mind.

[@Hoodratliker]

you can basically play e6 against E4 or D4...great thing to know

[@MrMPAROUARE]

Just excellent lecture, an absolute gentleman.

[@user-mc3hl5pf9t]

His voice is pretty comedic and his face expressions are very funny. I think he would make a great comedian

[@front331]

Виталя Шерстнев I agree and that's the main reason I watch his videos. The guy has character.

Thanks Akobian!

[@BikaramaditayaMontgomery]

thank you sir..

[@fhadenal-mutairi3294]

immortal chess lecture By Akobian!

[@rawdaaljawhary4174]

I love how GM Akobian often gestures with a whole fist. I've never seen that before, but it's so fitting.
Also I love, "H3. Bye Jeffrey!" I thought he was talking about his opponent Jeffrey Xiong. Bidding him farewell as he's about to squish him. :D But I think he was talking to someone in class... :P

[@kirankhande2512]

Awesome

[@nonyabusiness3605]

He makes it seem so easy!

[@somenderkumar7171]

[@walisyed1430]

One does not simply challenge a grandmaster in a position, Caleb.
