Kovacevic-Seirawan 1980 presented by GM Yasser Seirawan 

Best lesson I've received so far, ever.

Chessbrah lending Yasser the platform to disseminate his utterly delightful lessons is the most gentlemanly and clever thing they could have done. Very well done! Thank you!

It made my day to see a new video from Yasser

Ty, yasser, i really Love ur Lessons. When I study, practice and play chess I get so confused and sad because it / sounds sooooo complicated. When I read a book of yours or see it analyze something I feel so good, it is as if, for a short time I am understanding, somehow what is happening (without the confusion I create for myself by thinking). Thanks, once again, for sharing your thought process, particularly I liked it and intend to use it. Once again, really thanks!

Yasser more vidéos please 😊 I already have seen all your videos (saint louis and chessbrah) at least two times each! And btw, I love the format you adopted with chessbrah. Hansen&Hambelton&co thank you guys for this opportunity and all what you do for chess. With this effort, every chess fan could appreciate Yasser wisdom and enjoy his brilliant eloquence when it comes to explain « the battle of ideas » on the chess field.

So very calming

This is better than a book. GMs should teach this way. Like they’re writing a book but they have the chat interaction to guide them too

Yasser, you are a gem from the human nature :)

There is a purity to this game.

We love yasser! Wish he had more content! Love chess brah too! But yasser is great for those relaxing nights before bed 🛌 😂

Excellent lesson, I played once Kovačević at simultaneous game in Croatia, he lives in small village on Makarska Riviera, also Kasparov spends summers here...

Let´s spread the word so the channel gets more subscribers. We want more of this! Yasser is The Incredible Hulk of chess lessons. Even I get it.

This lesson was great but I think the best is the one learning to attack. I played a tournament over the last week and really got like at least one point because of the attacking ideas yasser explains there. All in all I think the best chess lessons I’ve ever seen

The genius of Yasser is that the way he talks is window-clear.. Here he's showing a GM-level game from 4 decades ago, and yet he manages to explain it such that I, a low-rated amateur, understand clearly the thought processes of both the players involved.

A lot of love to Yaaaaz

This was incredibly instructional. I almost abstained from watching the video and would just eat my dinner and go to do the library but I'm so glad I didn't. I am a pirc/modern player so that's what roped me in, and I'm quite happy that is the case! Thank you Yasser :)

ooh, i cant wait next one. simple principles, but ive not thought this way

It is amazing to think that this game was played 18 years before I was even conceived

These lesson videos are the shit. Yasser = Poppa brah

I don't normally make comments, but this was a wonderful video. Love me some Yasser.

Legend says that Yasser can deliver checkmate with nothing but a wink. 1:56

This series is incredible. I finally am starting to understand the game on a whole different level. This is exactly what I have been needing to help improve my game! Thank you GM Yasser!

Thank you Yasser for sharing your day 2😁

I had to watch this video 4 times to get through it. I love Yaz but I kept trying to watch this in the evening after work and his Bob Ross voice put me right to sleep. Finally got through it on the weekend.

This is so incredibly good! I wish Yasser would follow up on his marvellous book "Winning Chess Brilliancies" by giving us some more deeply annotated games to digest (and enjoy!). I would love to read his thoughts on some classical games (Morphy to Capablanca), and also on the change in chess thinking during the "soviet years" 1948 onwards.

Thank you for the lesson, Yasser! Made my day :-)

Incredible! Great lessons!

Wow yasser won that game against a gm so effortlessly. Great talent and great teacher

Bob Ross of chess

Good stuff.

At the Oregon Open in the 80's I saw Yasser form a distance. John Donaldsen was also there and I kind of met him. John was gracious and humble and quite nice and as a d class player i enjoyed some talks with him in postmortems etc.. Too bad i didn't know that Yasser was such a sweetheart i might have intruded and met him too.

Fantastic game!

so good thanks a lot please more love

so great!

Yasser is wonderful !...

He is like the anti Hansen so chill.

Great lesson! I love your teaching style Yasser :)

I assume your opponent resigned?😂. The control is overwhelming 🍻🎯

Hit em with the zip zap kabam

zip zap kabam 3:11

More analyzes please?

And to think about it if his opponent would have delayed g4 pawn move just one move later he might have destroyed Yasser because he was going to castle next move. But this goes to show that not even a wrong move can make you lose, but making the right move too early or too late can be your down fall. Yasser is a great teacher, but there is nothing better than experience and knowledge combined. Somethings can not just be taught, often it is your intuition from experience.

Yasser, the pawn passer

Yasser rules !

I feel endorphins in my chest when I hear Yasser's voice

Yaz the man!

Big flex at 12:25 😳

Is this video from the master classes playlist? #3?

@20:35 Yasser, is Qxh8 a move here?

0:31 - where's the white king?!

More yasser!

Why was the a1 h8 diagonal the most important? Can someone help

zip, zap, kabam.

Yasser, this might come out of the blue but... will you marry me?
