I am curious as to how much the children understand the GM lectures. Not hating or anything, but Sereiwan is really the only GM who has a style that I feel children can quickly understand. Akobian's lectures have helped me sharpen my opening theory, but how much do children respect theory?
Ik I'm replying 6 years late, but one of the kids spotted bxd6 and bh7+ winning the queen at 8:25. Some of these kids will be masters before puberty lol
5:47 well,the kid is not wrong :) if he takes the knight he opens the file for the h rook and if black recaptures the night, queen h7 checkmate. but of course checkmate is better though :)
Just want to say that I’m still playing this system years later because of this video.Var is the best
It is rare that a GM can explain cleary and patiently the ideas of every moves to children... you are the best teacher.
yo Var is killing it with all these back to back videos, so much great content
You have wonderful teachers but Akobian is one of the best for all levels of players. Thanks again to your Chess Club.
I am an adult and learning a lot through this series. Thank you!
One of the best teachers out there, it was an honour to play with you during your streams
GM Akobian has the best smirk in chess. He cracks me up every time, he doesn't have to say anything or try to tell a joke.
great.
more videos by Akobian
GM Akobian is so patient and encouraging with the kids!
GM Akobian is so patient in teaching, so skillful in playing and so poor he wears shirts with holes. He needs a big raise.
Best chess teacher for a reason - Akobian..
remember kids, its called "Steel mate” xD
akobian is by far the best lecturer in the saint louis chess club
Thank you M.Akobian .. very interesting !
wohooo Akobian is back !
what about after 1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 g6 3 Nc3 Bg7 4 Nf3 0-0 5 Bg5 h6? Which one is the best continuation?
That one kid who says nimzo when he asks what opening it is

+Raizada R Kids love theory. Young kids can be annoying to play when a GM has fed them theory. But play something like 1.c3 and they have no clue ; )

What can I play against King's Indian if I play e4 as white?
That second blunder exploration after ~16:00, very educational, would never figure this out on my own.
hahahha 9:40 he rips off the shirt :D:D
+Tom Smith Yup, he needs to get it fixed or buy a new one.
It's funny because when he says 'He made a mistake' he's looking at himself thinking 'I also made a mistake by tearing my shirt'
Tom Smith qp
25:40 several ways to mate, but which one is the easiest one...... I prefer the bg8+ variation. It looks much cooler
+Mr .Rodriguez Me too! In all of the lines I kept saying Bg8, but none of the kids ever picked that option :( !!
HEHE, ;-)
Sir actually if we play bd3 and he immediately capture bishop on g3 but can we do
He is of the best.
Bloody brilliant! I play the KID and the Pirc, so it's good to see these attacks coming.
Don't play Pirc or French defense, it's very weak in the center...
4 years later and I still don't recommend the PIRC or French Defense. Time hasn't changed much in chess
This really is working for me thanks a lot
What if after Qh5 black plays Qa5+ instead Re8?
best teacher
Var = Epic!
Thank you so much!
best chess teacher :-)
27:40 lmao. Confidence is key
5:47 well,the kid is not wrong :) if he takes the knight he opens the file for the h rook and if black recaptures the night, queen h7 checkmate. but of course checkmate is better though :)
GM Akobian so chess strong he ripped his shirt.
After 4.Nf3 black can still play a gruenfeld with 4...d5.
give two bishops for a queen? is it that genial idea?
Any player higher rated than 1300 will be able to win that 95%
White's king locked himself in the "steelmate" cage :D
Discovery check :))
+Abdul Tawwab he says something wrong in almost all of his lectures

teacher dont feel bad about your shirt
Awesome chess school! 👍 Terrible intro music.🤦
I rather like the music, myself. Definitely great channel
It's hilarious when he discovers the shirt is torn. Too bad he never discovered the sweat stains under his arms.
