I always appreciate when a GM takes time to teach, because a lot of it is so far below his level... he's probably bored af lol

I think GM Varuzhan Akobian is the best chess teacher as well. I download his videos, and watch them on the way to work every morning and evening. Respects from Turkey.

I just had the exact same endgame as in 36:26 and it saved my life! I blundered terribly in game but i managed to make a draw! Opponent was 2 pawns up and i wouldnt know what to do if i didnt watch this video before that! I'd probably resign because there is just no hope vs 2 pawns. It was perfect! Thank you Akobian!

these bishop endgames are legit super fun

"Remember.  Push Push, You Win!"

Amazing lecture! My brain is boiling after that entire hour. It's just incredible we can enjoy and learn from GM Akobian for free!

GM Akobian. The Endgame Virtuoso!!!!!!


I am still strugling with his presented study material. Which is a very good thing! Especially the brillian 3. Bf2-c5 manouver still costs me sleepless hours!


Thank you a lot, mister Akobian, I am very gratefull!

Julian is definitely his favourite student.

I honestly like GM Akobian's style of lecture. It really makes the point and is very instructive. Thanks GM.

All I need is popcorn and Varuzhan Akobian

this guy just blew my mind. holy crap. this is beautiful chess.

Sometimes when he waits for students to think.... And everything goes motionless. I check if my connection is disrupted.

On the puzzle at 12:30 I knew that the king needed to go to g8 and that I needed to place the bishop needs to control g7 but I didn't know why. Now I know thanks you so much for your lectures!

One of the most instructive endgame lecture

Nice! Endgames are very important. Still learning them this video helps much.
