I might forget opening lines, tactics and endgamepatterns but something that will always stick with me is "You certainly do not want to take his Queen, you want to take his soul" Followed by a casual "It is just time for white to switch to checkers"
I'm 48 yr old dad. I play for fun once in a while. I am a chess fan. I love Naka content as well as yours. Naroditsky is cool too. You are easy to follow and I hope to start implementing your suggestions in my play. Thank you for your content. It is much appreciated.
To “Take is a mistake” is a silly saying. To capture is a core principle but to take is a mistake? Just because it rhymes doesn’t mean it makes any sense.
@logannuguyen Wow you're criticising Igor for saying "take is a mistake"? He used that in the correct context of taking that pawn would be a mistake, literally, hence he subsequently said move the knight instead which is the correct move. So Igor is 100% correct. For you to criticise someone whose first language is not English, but you literally could not understand the context behind his objective, it is mind boggling and pedantic to say the least.
Was not a criticism of Igor or this particular situation. I Watch all his vids for years and am a big fan. I said it was a silly saying because he always refers to it as a rule. Like don’t move the queen too early, take control of the center, don’t move same piece twice in opening. It may be the wrong move, but it’s not a rule. Not trying to be pedantic, just giving Igor some feedback.
@logannguyen7067 It wasn't even constructive your criticism, you destroyed him and it was also condescending. I'm sure Igor isn't going to lose any sleep over your poorly constructive criticism. The fact that you still can't see how poor your post is is borderline insulting.
Happy Birthday, Igor! You are a very charismatic chess teacher here on YT. There are many choices for us but you have oone of my absolute favorite chess channels and I am happy to see how much it grew to almost half a million subscribers

Dear Mr. Igor, First Happy Birthday! Second, I've attempted to buy 1 of your courses at 50% off, but the price remains the same in the Cart. Is this working yet ?
4:48 after a black takes the kngiht, what about the movement of white Bd4? Then the play is also won for black - this variation not elucidated. ... Bxb2+, Kb1 and winning Qa6 for black and so on.
I much prefer playing 3… d6 against the Scotch, as it prevents the Scotch and Goring Gambits. If they play the best move, 4. d5, then black should respond with 4… Ne7. From here, the plan for black should be f5, Nf6, g6, Bg6, O-O, and then create a kingside attack like in the Leningrad Dutch Defense. If white plays 4. dxe5, then black should play 4… Bg4. Then we reach a fork in the road. If white plays 5. exd6, then we transpose to an Englund Gambit with 5… Bxd6. If white develops, though, with a move like 5. Nc3, then black can trade queens with 5… dxe5 6. Qxd8+ Rxd8 or keep queens on the board with 5… Bxf3 6. Qxf3 dxe5.
Happy birthday, sorry I didn't know! Your videos are interesting, well-made, and take us into new territory. And complete with the occasional quip thrown in, as well. :) Just to say they are all much appreciated. It is the making of them that keeps you so young looking, I reckon. 🙂
Hello Master! In the first line...how do you suggest to follow if White defends the mate with Qd2 after Qf6 in between? There would be pressure on d-file against long castling, once we play dxc6. Can you explain this line? And congrats for all the excellent videos and for the channel!

“Its time for white to switch to checkers” 😂
Yep, I was going to mention that also. Really droll.

Happy (Belated) Birthday Igor! 🎉
Best Chess teacher on YT and we’re all very grateful for these lessons =]
After I saw your videos, I wish I had seen these several years back. Best of teachings.
Glad it was helpful!
3:05 after White covers with Nc3 go Nh4+, g3 and back to Qe7

Bro the opening white does is what I always do
I love playing Qh4. For some reason most white players don't know theory after the early queen attack in the Scotch game.
Igor, what is in your shop on London?
Sure. You can find the course about London System here.

Hey , Igor , plz reply ! What about Qxc7 there at 7:45 ? You did not cover that !! I think I am losing in that case
That would be losing with Qxc2+, Kd1, Rd8+..
@@jey7562do u know what you are saying ? i was saying about the white queen from g3 to c7 !!! Look at 7:45

09:56 the bishop on the "diagonal" e6-h2 is really powerful!
Time for White to switch to Checkers. Bwahahaha! Best punchline yet! Happy Birthday! Many happy returns...
8:31-8:41
best line in the video
Happy birthday! Awewome content!
thanks again daer coach! But how we have to react if 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 exd4 4. Bc4...?
Happy birthday, Igor! I really enjoy your unassuming style of teaching. You explain everything clearly.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY IGOR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Igor, what do you think of the steinitz variation in the Scoth game, is it advantageous for black or nah?
4:48 after a black takes the kngiht, what about the movement of white Bd4? Then the play is also won for black - this variation not elucidated. ... Bxb2+, Kb1 and winning Qa6 for black and so on.
After watching the video, it was looking easy, but it was difficult while playing the game 😔😔😔
@4:58 you could have told that bxa3 is the only move because the natural move Bd4 (supported by rook) is mat in 4 for black.
Can you do something on I think it's called Urusanov gambit is E4 e5 Ng3 nf6 Bc4
Some of your opponents will notice this JUICY pawn on a7, but you upset them once again with queen d2 mate in one
Am stuck at 1800 to 1900,what could I be doing wrong
Really appreciate this. I needed to know it.
How about a family picture for the holidays. I think your cat has had a lot of attention!
can you comment on how to handle the Goring Gambit
Thanks
Hm, I was expecting Steintiz. But this one seems nice too.
happy birthday uncle 🎉🎉🎉
I just play Qh4 😂
12:44 if Qf3 then d6
12:58 if Qf3 then Ng4
"It's time for white to switch to checkers" 🥶
you like bishop opening so much ☺☺
बहुत अच्छा विवरण है।
It's time to play checkers lol.
happy day of birth sir!
2:50 - Qxb2 is better than dxc6.
happay b to yo master igor🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Instructions unclear. My king abdicated.
It looks very simple in your vedios , but it will become really tough in execution. Thanks for your teachings
Can you do a video on the dutch defense? Preferably the leonagrad dutch. Thank you!!
Great show....very informative and inciteful.
Hi sir Igor, Wishing you many more candles to blow and chess openings to share! I enjoy watching your channel.
Happy birthday guru ji. 🎉🎉
Good coach
No time wasting
Straight on point
Igor is my favorite
getting a scholars mate in the scotch game would be a very... throbbing way to win
4) Qd4 can also get very tricky, many 2200s lose to that as well. Kindly make a video on that variation as well
Awesome video. Beel looking for this tutorial.
I learned so much wow. I never make that mistake but I've seen it before, now I know what to do just in case.
My mistake was not resigning on the first move.
Happy Birthday GM Smirnov
In 5.Be3 after Qg6 what if they play Bd3?
