- Grandmaster Var Akobian returns to Saint Louis to show the kids a 17-move miniature he recently played. His opponent was risky in the opening and paid for it. Also, a mate-in-3 and a difficult study where you use distant opposition to draw.
Akobian vs. Tate, 2014: A40 Modern defence
Emory Tate had a lot of brilliant moves, too. His risky style resulted in lots of neat games like this and from what I remember, he didn't mind the risk. It's the sort of thing that makes chess more fun. RIP.

It's great to see Akobian back, please add more lectures of him.

Akobian is one of the best chess teacher... More please.
chess lessons with fun and GM input easy to understand and learn!. Mr Akobian you are a wonderful teacher. I regret to live in Germany, otherwise it would be great to be present at your lesson room. Thank you very much.

Only yesterday I was wondering whatever became of Emory Tate. I am glad to see he is still playing.
And now his sons are keeping his name alive
The king and pawn endgame at the end of the video is outstanding!
I'm from India and ur the best sir,keep doing it sir...ur a legend giving us free knowledge of chess
The legend has returned.
Love Akobian videos.
amazing how effortlessly Akobian won. this Nb5 sacrifice should just jump into your mind like a hot toast. it does not matter what piece checks or mates a trapped king.
It takes a ton of hard work and focus to win effortlessly!
***** what you call work I call virtual cheating. Often that involves repeating engine lines which is not right in terms of sportmanship for me. On the other hand I just play chess. It is not a job for me so whatever.

I was referring to strong fundamentals, not comp lines.
Sir Akobian is the best.

akobian is the best thanks
thank you akobian
I feel it's a bit overkill to have one of America's 10 best chess players teaching such painfully simple lessons. Many 2000 rated players who are equally talented as teachers could probably give similar lessons. Let's get some more strategic lessons, or advanced game analyses from our resident genius!
For normal club players like me (1700) it is NOT painfully simple. A genius like you should probably get lessons from Carlsen. At least!
Nobody is saying that it isn't instructive. Nor am I implying that the lecture isn't instructive for myself in many ways. I'm saying that you don't need someone over 2600 teaching beginner lectures.
@ thegreatsolar, yes, I agree. Err... so why am I here? Akobian (and others) often show very instructive games even if they give bare minimum analysis (and sometimes no analysis, just basic observation). Especially classics from former world champions, they are useful way beyond what's given in the basic lecture and I get to see these games without going through 10s or 100s to find 1 gem. This one, not so much, but this was an excellent beginner class. I just wish STL had more tournaments to compliment these excellent resident GMs. Kids need to play as much as (well, probably more than) they need to study.
You can't always get what you want, kiddo.
I don't know who you're talking to. I'm no kid and I'm not asking for anything.
Nice one.
Wow, I laughed when I heard Kh1 only to hear that it is the only correct move :) Distant opposition nice to know :)
Great game and great lessons.
nakamura written in the background?
Yes, as though he was a god or a hero :-)
At 23:00, what if white king goes to F1?
same thing, Kd2 and you lose the opposition
responding a year late but i figured why not.
Very Nice!!
had to pause for the first puzzle but got it :D
"you wanna tink it tru, tink it tru" :D Great teacher, though.
Nice combo, I have a game where IM Tate crushed GM Akobian.
