I've been watching your channel for almost a year and I'm really impressed by your vast knowledge mister Smirnov. Although my current rating is sth between 1600 and 1700 so still so much to acquire I really do appreciate your engagement and I'm quite pleased to have discovered your channel. The problem is although is it quite easy to watch your channel and understand its content and all of these traps you present I do not have an idea how to memorize them since there are so many of them. Finally I would like to find a way to use them somehow in my chess games which of course still are not that good taking into account how much of my daily time I sacrifice to learn sth new. Any suggestions? Thx. Rafal.

Awesome tactical lesson.

Hey coach please make a video on how to play against the english opening.

Hey Igor, I discover your channel 8 momths ago, and I did made a huge jump in my rating about 300, I also watched your old videos 11 years ago which are full of tactics and secret chess principles, I like how you organize the same pattern in different openings to show the idea of the trick not to ask us to memorize the move, I like how you never teach dubious gambits, only tge refutation line, I have to say one thing your new set seems very professional now but I miss the cat behind you and the part of your library on the wall, brfore it was like sitting with a friend on thier house and learn a massive entrtaining chess lesson. Much love and respect.

Thanks my Master. On Tuesday I attended an OTB Toni and I came 3rd I used 3/4 of the openings from you master Igor

8: 33 can white castle there. Isn't there a rule one cannot castle through check?

Quick question After 12:31 minutes why can’t black play pawn G7 to G6. Threatening white Queen.

how can you castle if the blk rook is there?

Tysm I didn’t know what to do against many of this

Thank you for all this Video

Hi

as Black don't be afraid to play the Sicilian! 2... e6 still gives a great dynamic game and stops lots of White's e4 tricks, easier to play than the immediate knight moves

Pls make video on Elephant gambit......

Классное видео!

Brilliant lessons. I love it.

Great as usual 👌👌👌

e6!!

What if after the castling black don't play rook to b7, but instead queen b6, 8.30 time of the video

I wish it were so simple as told by u.....

My reaction to all of these: 💀

Dear Igor, I really enjoy watching your videos and I have a request. Please make a crash course on vienna opening and also please make a video about grand prix attack because both of them are somehow popular(not very popular, but anyway) and there is not too many videos about them on RU-vid.

8:22 : I thought that white can not castle queen side in this position

Sir, why don't you become the world champion

2:35 "You just won a free rook." Not exactly. The knight is trapped.

iam a beginner in chess... do chess really makes you smarter and think better?

God damn these are fire i will watch after my exam 😭
