3:35 I absolutely adore this sound! :D Never fails to make me smile. Thank you to Yasser and The Saint Louis Chess Club for all these wonderful lectures. I am so annoyed I wasted 31 years of my life not playing chess, bit I am making up for lost time!
This is the first time I’ve seen a lecture by yasser, and I must say...his pleasant way of speaking and his totally chill delivery just won him a new fan. Love this guy!
+ItBurns WhenIPEE Yasser and Bob have the gentle approach. You, Sir, however are an aggressive, frightening person, when I look at your avatar! Plus your nickname is obscene, A fact that does not make you more sympathetic! Reminds me of a song by Frank Zappa, the dirtbag of Rock!
This right here is quality chess. Hikaru's my new fave player, it used to be tied between magnus and paul morphy. hikaru's style seems unorthodox at times but he almost always comes out on top
Random chess question: Is it worth giving one of your bishops in a trade off with a knight in order to mess up your opponents pawn structure? For some reason I almost always do, but it doesn't always turn out good. Guess it mostly matters on the situation, but in general, is it good or bad?
AZCaveMan480 If you're white and doing a Ruy Lopez you should unless you absolutely know where your bishop is going when the pawn moves to kick it. A bishop pair is a powerful thing but bishops are more easily trapped.
Doubles pawns aren’t always even bad. If the position is closed, a knight might even be better than a bishop. All of this depends on the situation. In openings like the Nimzo Indian, white usually trades the bishop while in for example the Ruy Lopez, white usually does not.
I legitimately watched like 10 of this guys videos thinking he was the most condescending guy on the planet but then I realized he is lecturing to kids L O L
Have you heard Nakamura speak? I get that he's amazing, but man the sound of his voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. I'm happy to have Yasser's presentation.
I would recommend to the presenter that speaking in the condescending way that he does is not doing the children in the audience any good. Treating them as capable is preferable. If this is not a lecture for children I do not know how an adult would tolerate being spoken to that way. This is simple criticism, and only my opinion, not a personal attack for the sake of attacking.
+pop9095 Yo Yasser is like the least condescending person that I've seen he speaks so gently, He was mainly talking about the players and he showed them respect, and he showed respect for their moves. So I don't catch any of what you're saying.
Whenever I lose interest in chess, I just watch an instructional video by Seirawan and chess becomes fascinating again.
4 years old, but I have to say it... yeah baby!
or finegold! or maybe recently hess/rensch
@@x0cx102 Yasser's way more relaxing.

Yasser is just the best chess presenter. I learn and enjoy his lectures. Thanks!
I really do too... You can feel the enjoyment when he smiles and demonstrates.
ehud weiler and that voice is so pleasant. He should read bedtime stories for audio books!
This is the first time I’ve seen a lecture by yasser, and I must say...his pleasant way of speaking and his totally chill delivery just won him a new fan. Love this guy!
hes awesome
Simply the best on the planet.
Yasser is the Bob Ross of chess. Thumbs up if you agree.

Totally Bob Ross...happy little pawn....he has a happy little friend lol
Watch TheBeastsOfWar, Romain is the Bob Ross of miniature painting. So many Bob Rosseses in the world.
You don't like "Don't eat that yellow Snow" I assume or am I making an ass out of you and me.
Thumbs down cause I’m sick of niggas saying this
hahaha I love the intro "usually I explain some old legend, but today hikaru is the freaking man! ...so today is about him" lol
Love this channel, I'm now in the habit of clicking like before the video even starts playing. Thank you CCSCSL!!!!!!
Walking the line, there, I see.
wow these last two choices for the "learn form the legendary" playlist have really been awesome. thank you chess club and yasser seirawan
yasser and maurice could comment on grass growing and i would still watch it, they literally make everything interesting
Love those lectures from Yasser! Totally informative and educational, combined with being an ASMR trigger - Im hooked!
אני צריך בטחון לגדר שלי מה הטלפון שלך
@@alon3304 אם לשפוט לפי התגובה האינפנטילית הזאת - נראה שאתה צריך הרבה יותר מזה...
I find myself clicking any Yasser videos no matter the subject.
Fascinating analysis as always. GM Seirawan is a credit to the chess community worldwide.
Grandmaster Yasser Seirawan's voice is so realxing!
Seriously, that man should do audio books.
At 8:47 stockfish gave black almost two pawns because if bc6, no matter what white does, he's in trouble! Take a closer look, it's interesting.
That kid is really smart, noticing weaknesses that even Yasser didnt
Very nice job GM Seirawan, I think you are one of the best chess commentators.
could you do a lengend lecture on mikal tal please
Mark' Anthony Par-Wise check out agdamatorschess he has lots of tal videos
just don't call him Michael
I love your comments, Yasser.
Gobble gobble!
Cool lecture. Excellent as always.

Yasser is that illustrious, luxurious, syrupy chess bad boy.

It always depends on the situation..

Hi Yasser! Excellent video as always. ~ Question ~ What Chess program are you using and which version? Fritz, Houdini 4 maybe?
The title is wrong ! The Legend Yasser !! Is much more accurate !!
Blue balled
I wonder if car-you-ah-nah is yasser's favorite?
29:52 What if qH3 after kF5? Is there sth really obvious there to decline capturing the bishop on b2?
What happened after the 27:15 pF5 fork ?
fast forward to 3min 30 seconds in that video link for a fast explanation.
It’s en passant
GM Yasser is 10x US World Champ.
Yasser 🌈 u make my day 🤙🏻
A kid accidentally ate the projector ending any chance of continueing the lecture
why didnt magnus carlsen play in this tournament?
Fyi:
>Everyone has a legend
jojo300001 some are more interesting than others tho
anybody can explain what is happening to f5 pawn around 27th minute?
ayse acma en passant?
Man. Does GM Yasser reminds me of Benicio Del Toro with his voice and his facial features.

Nakamura a legend. I concur.
I'd like to take personal lessons from Yasser.
4 years later, the next best option is his chessable courses. Probably going to get his strategy course as a Xmas present for myself.
cliffhanger ^^ :D such things happen , no problem :D
Coca cola personal sponsor of Yasser
Way to play it off Yasser.
here's the game

I feel like Yaz doesnt like Naka.
I legitimately watched like 10 of this guys videos thinking he was the most condescending guy on the planet but then I realized he is lecturing to kids L O L
Haha, funny comment! What's even better - those kids are actually spotting the GM moves!
He's no longer the highest rated US player, Caruana has joined the ranks now!!
+Anthony Kernich yes He is
yasser seirawan has a very likable personality i like him.. no homo
+Jose Gonzalez I wouldn't mind be our platoon commander-ish in our College ROTC.
A great player? Yes.
A legend? Definitely no.
nice lesson, but his voice is a bit annoying

+pop9095 I don't think you know what condescending means... If it helps, I'm being condescending to you right now.
What the hell is wrong with you?
pop you dont know yaz. he's mellow, relaxed and not condescending at all.
he talks like Mr. Rodgers.
