Is it possible to make a complete course just on the Qe2 Ruy Lopez? I am looking at taking it seriously, so looking for courses on that, the two knights attack on the French at a level that would be respected, and the side lines, but those two are most important. I was also wondering if you can do individual positional concepts listed in your GM positional understanding course. It has a list of ideas for positional concepts, but there isn't any book or more importantly any video courses on them expanding on the individual subjects. Thanks for any answer.

It's not about the moves though. It's about the theory. You need to know the goal of each move and adapt it to each position

I appreciate your going over the main lines in Ruy Lopez, and in proving them with the computer's analysis. But, especially, the optimism! Makes chess fun even if I lose, in trying these cool new moves out. Don't worry about anyone commenting that these are not All Possible moves! How silly to expect that.

I got a question for Igor. Is it possible to improve your game overall just by watching youtube videos, or you really need to buy courses because I am watching your videos on youtube for almost 1 year, but it looks like I am not getting any progress... I know you are a GM, and maybe I am just really bad at understanding chess, so I was wondering what could help me improve my game?

Hi Arnold, Thanks for the question. You need to practice to get better in chess just like any other sport. Just watching videos will not be enough. Igor provides an efficient training plan and different approaches to improve at chess in his courses. But you have to put in the practice to improve.

I watch many of your videos and they all seem to have the same problem - you incorrectly state your opponent can only make one move. As in this video at the 7:07-minute mark. I quote you, " ... therefore the king has to move". The truth is that the king does not have to move. Black could move either his bishop or his queen to block the check.
