Man, Yasser Serrawan's stories are intense. He is such an awesome guy.

I'm on a Seirawan lecture binge :P

Great personality in history of chess. Long live Seirawan.

Penultimate means "next to last."

Ha, this speaks to the wonderful game of chess that DOESN'T get played... he spends 20 minutes talking about a possible line with all kinds of really cool fun stuff that he didn't end up playing. I remembered that from my games... I'd play OTB and go home and go over it and think "is that all there was?" because the UNPLAYED game was so much bigger than the played game.

Love the humility to talk through a loss like that

what a gentleman, to annotate one of his losses with such clarity and patience and even apparent enjoyment. Just brilliant. Glad you made it to the Candidates' Matches, Yaz! You deserved it. Sorry you didn't win and get to challenge GK.

Love Yasser's encyclopedic knowledge of the history of chess !😇

I really enjoyed all of your lectures and if you read this one a day I really want to say you are awesome . In fact  I'm from Egypt and I got those amazing lectures very helpful thank you Mr Seirawan

WoW - this man is a real great teacher!

came here to learn about the hedgehog but got so much more

That a knight becomes more powerful the more it is supported by your other pieces is such a valuable lesson, i on my own would have never figured that out, i definately try to adapt this knowledge into my own games.

"Euuuurrrrrrp" - Yasser Seirawan

first lecture I have watched of Yassers. very very good.

Missed this video on publication date, and just now watching.
TY for a fascinating 41 minutes.  Watched it straight through. As I recall GM Robert Byrne was the chess columnist for the NYT in those days.  Can we hang the flawed analysis on his door?

This guy’s voice is like velvet

Smiles "Knight takes G6!... No."

Awesome video. Thank you, Yasser.

Chess education on a silver platter !!! Thank you !!!

Soon GM Young Lady will be teaching the class
