I didn't realize you were making TH-cam videos so regularly after seeing your channel initially a few months ago - I just watched a few videos and they're great. I've been a fan ever since I heard the story about your moves that beat Kasparov when he played against everyone. Just gave you another subscriber!
If you are talking about Kasparov vs the World, I think Kasparov eventually won that. But, it was a much more competitive and deep game than anyone had anticipated. Maybe IK contributed to that?
@@roqsteady5290 She did, as just a teenager, and proposed some of the best used moves in that game. Iirc, if they had gone with one of her proposed moves later on, they would have been winning in the end game.
@TMQwuke Irina also played Magnus Carlsen to a draw in Gausdal in 2007, and she actually had some winning chances before Carlsen managed to equalize and liquidate down to a drawn position.
Excellent video again. Each one has a wealth of detail and several nuggets of gold. It seems to me that together all the videos could be the nucleus of a book. Thank you. I look forward to more videos.
A very interesting and useful video at this time for me, because I have noticed lately that I am loosing too much games where I have a comfort advance whrn reaching the end game. I also discover that it's time for me to study end games further more, what I haven't done a lot so far. Thanks again!
In the second example, the guidance about the pawn structure White wants is very instructive. In the position at 6:48, does it matter whether you start with f4 or h4?
6:57 "You gotta to put pawns on the opposite color of your bishop". But how can you defend them and what if the opponent does have that colored bishop and what if they don't?
I really appreciate the way you highlight principles and general ideas rather then just explaining individual moves. Total class.
The broad concepts interwoven with the nuts and bolts positional analysis is clear, concise and USEFUL. Thanks as always!!
One of my new favorite youtube channels to improve my chess game. Thank you Irina!! 🙏
The first game with the passive moves really reminded me of my own games. Thank you for pointing that out and show how to play better
Thanks for sharing these great concepts!

Thank for the video Irina much appreciated, really insightful. I also had requested a video on end game and it came
my takeaway: seeds of potential problem must be quashed!
If you play the endgame right, you'll eventually Krush your opponent 😊
