  8. Happy Birthday GM Smirnov. I want to thank you for a sudden jump in my rating from 1480 to 1740 (over consistent performance in recent tournaments) after having watched some of your (free) videos. The main principle stuck to my head was "develop with a threat". That itself was sufficient to change the way I think before each n every move. Thank you, and wish you your best ever birthday with this message!

  13. Happy birthday Igor God bless you and your family. Keep up the great work.

  14. 16:46 Hi GM igor smirnov! I have 1 question what if the took go to the bishop? What now

  15. ใ‚ถใ‚ญใƒ•ใ‚กใƒชใƒผใƒ‰ says:

    8:22 Queen sacrifices are alway a pleasure to make and watch๐Ÿค 

  16. In the 6:45 white to move, I think there is a short combination to either checkmate or win the black queen for a knight. Qg6 check, nf5 attacking black queen. If black queen moves, its checkmate – white Qg7. If not, white nd6 takes black queen. Really interesting. Looks like a quiet position, but both sides have immediate gamewinning option within 2 moves.

  17. Happy Birthday man, all through Iโ€™m 8 months late

  18. Posted almost 12 months ago… Happy birthday again!

  19. Great video. I canโ€™t believe you donโ€™t have double even triple subs and views. I follow a few channels some popular some not as however this is definitely one of the best- PERIOD-. This tells me it is the algo and advertising / being known. I know there are literally hundreds of thousands of potential viewers who would watch if they know you existed. So getting your name out there is important. Not saying your channel is small itโ€™s still known and not small but can be easily 3 times bigger

  20. Absolutely loved your explanation. Thanks GM.

  21. Very clear and helpful explamation, thank you!

  22. Smirnov is a born teacher!…anybody that doesn't come away with something he has learned from Smirnov is just not a chess player…and will probably never be a chess player!.
