GM Akobian really good teacher.he produce very interesting idea and also teach you how to placed peaces on the board more stronger and stronger square.with him you can study chess on more high level than you are today
I think what is fairly cool is those breaks he makes us forced to do and think over the key positions - I often pause additionally to have even more time to think than those in the lecture
GM Akobian is by far the best teacher. It's difficult not to benefit from his lectures. As pointed out by Mr. Kron, it will be really good if GM Akobian had explained how to get into the suggested set up if Black chooses to play 1.e6 and then 2. f5. Because if we play 2.Nf3 then the N is not developed at e2. If we play c4 then we have to learn the mainline Dutch defense. And there seems to be no other waiting move.
The variation you're talking about is still great with a knight on f3. You'll play 3. nc3 and black has two options, d5 where you get the mainline Akobian Dutch but black has played e6 blocking his bishop and is behind in development. Or theyll play Nf6 and you play bg5 with e4 coming. Sorry, didn't see how old this was!
34:02 lol i like how the guy who said b5 was right although akobian says c4 is the right move when the engine says c4 is an inaccuracy and b5 was better :P
Right, Chessplayer101. Still today (April 27th, 2020) Stockfish 11 prefers b5 for White in that position (followed by either h3, h4 or Nc3 - with no mentioning of c4 at all :-) The move b5 leads to an advantage of 1.47, while c4 dxc4 gets evaluated by Stockfish as 0.62
I want some comment from you sir Akobian about giving up the bishop for a knight in this opening because many players especially GMs dont want to trade bishop for a knight so early like in this openings,,tnx
It's because his pawn structure in the middlegame is blocking his black bishop.. he wanted to get rid his bad bishop and gain more advantage of good minor pieces movement in the middlegame
i wouldnt do some moves he mention like "the best moves" like taking wit the queen instead of the pawn... if he takes with the pawn, the queen (even on d1) is already developed
22:02 "Check, he has to go to the corner, queen c6. AIDS." Jokes aside, I got a great lesson about the dutch defense and middlegame strategies + tactics. Shout out to GM Akobian and the St. Louis Chess club!!
Incredibly good video, even though the audience just kept suggesting "random" moves without thinking. I also like the setup GM Akobian is recommending. However, there is the problem that Black can chose the 1.-e6 2.-f5 move order, whereas most 1.d4-players will have to play 2.c4 in order to get the desired setups against the QGD as well as the Nimzo/Bogo complex.
you know its obvious and most people would get it right, but im so thoughtless i would push the pawn before getting the rooks there, because it seems faster lol
A solution could be to learn a good system versus the french , so you can play 2. e4 on 1.-e6 - maybe thats what Akobian does, being expert on french. But players who play 1. -e6 are typially also wanting to play the french very , so you gotta have something good there
Akobian bothers me when he does this sometimes. He's a good lecturer up to the point where he does something like accidentally show the move c4, then pull it back and ask the audience for 10 minutes what the right move is. If you just pulled a move back and asked what the right move is, no one is going to guess the same move again :I
Akobian is the best lecturer there is bar none. Clear concise, accurate, knowledgable.
Fantastic game to highlight... and great lecture!

I adore him

Very instructive. Thanks.
great teacher!!
Danke schön
also he explains a lot like most people dont mention, like the pawn push. very interesting.

Good stuff
Ah, ok,I had not understood why they always divide this oppening in 1..e6 and 1...f5. Thank you for the comment.
what was the point of g6 by black seemed pointless. and why did he think 10m for Qxd3 that seemed obvious
Akobian kills it. Such instructionsl
its weird because sometimes he even mentioned the moves ealier or gave hints. I really wonder how they could get so many wrong answers
I thought it wasnt good to trade bishop for knight at the beginning because bishop worth "3 and quarter" at the beginning..?
In this case it's all about getting the center
15:08 why not pawn a6?

Ya it's just the matter of opinion. I think he also needed to connect the rooks and gaining space for rook movement in his back rank
i still would like to know why he opted for queen takes on d3 instead of taking with the pawn.

nice he explained later why knight a4 early, because i would have played b4 first lol

lol its weird how much incorrect stuff i learned. Man in my older books it always said: if knights protect each other then they are not well placed.
No, it;s true, most of the time it's bad, but not always.

Or you just play a main line against the Dutch
