I am 1850 elo, playing for over 30 years and believe it or not I have never understood the minority attack until I watched your video! Thank you! I finally completely understand the minority attack and have won my last three games with the Catalan because of it! Would love to see more pawn formation videos.
Dude, this s by far the most instructional chess channel on youtube, and it gets waaaaaaay less credit than it deserves. You've helped me improve tons my chess
I'm happy I find this video 5 years later :D I'm playing QGD and the Caro-Kann as Black and will be super useful to be familiar with. Keep up the good work.
This video has changed my way of thinking. Great work sir. Please do make more of middle game ideas. This is more important and beneficial than openings. Although openings video are very good too
Stipen, you should seriously consider becoming a chess coach to new players. The way you explain things is so much better than anyone else i have encountered.
perfect explanation, this channel is a gold mine i'm going through all the videos. I found it due to the content on my main Black opening the Philidor but stayed for the rest. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for all your efforts, your channel helps me more than anything. As soon as you have time, please post another problem in the commons section on these "lessons". Maybe viewers don't realize they are there, they haven't many views.
Thank you for your thoughtful instructional videos. Yasser Seirawan is a chess hero of mine since a few years after the Bobby Fischer chess boom in the United States.
No problem Sir! Yes, GM Seirawan is one of my favorite players, and definitely my favorite lecturer. His books are amazing and his style is as if he read you fairytales:)
Thank you a lot Very nice video for wonderful instructor This topic a bout how to weaken pawn structure We need some videos about pawn structure Best wishes Thank you
Great vid! Do you also have videos attacking castled kings pawn structure and the timing of these attacks? I got curious when you mentioned it towards the end of the video. Thanks!
Love your vids the thumbnails are gorgeous. Please do an end game series. I heard it was the most important part of chess studying and I need some video material
hey thanks I'm learning Simple Chess book, and got stuck about the Open File and Half-Open File, with the combination of The Minority Attack. until I watched this video. thank you very much
Hi thanks very much! I just wanted to ask why moving the flank (h/a pawn) one rank up is crucial? From your examples I understood that sometimes it’s obviously necessary from certain plays, but on others it seemed to me only to slow down the minority attack. My point is that from the video that move looked almost thematic, is it the case? If not than why?
I doon't think so. It makes no sense in the Nc3 main line, in the e5 advance variation, in the two knights, the fantasy or anything else. I guess you might make it work in the Breyer variation (1. e4 c6 2. d3 d5)
You should do a video about YouTubing. Covering how you make your thumbnails, how you record the screen, how you make the animations in the beginning. And maybe other things too ?
Chess coaching is very costly, if after spending money people will not get better learning than this, U r much helpful for the needy people, Please reply if u read
