Really great chess material without any doubt. Thanks to Igor i became IM at age of 15! I actually have 17 and im looking for the GM title.
GM Igor Smirnov Chess courses
Sort:
weird that jrgascon changed his flag from venezuela to spain, and now some other muppet has shown up to spam advertise the igor courses using the same flag. coincidence?
he is probably one of the best trainers i cant judge, but i still can never forget the joke were he confused king and queen.
perretgentil was the guy claiming to be his dad before.
why are these people not banned for spamming?
Agree that GM Smirnov is one of the best teachers in the game! Free lessons on YouTube.

that ofc was already very nice of mr smirnov, and yes i totally forgot i really liked his lesson when he showed how bad pins are. coincidencially i just remembered it when i saw a documentary when a chessplayer said all chessplayes are one family lol.
perretgentil is my dad just we dont live together. I recommended to him Igor courses :) ! And i just changed my flag because im going to move out to spain on May to try to improve my rating :). Dont know why you people are so angry with this stupid thing! I dont do that for anything bad!
mmm ok doesnt know whats bad on that. i will stop. The people judge without knowing why do i do that.
Do it anyway, pfren. Great for us and honouring Mr Geller would surely be a thing you would enjoy. :)

Well, don't get me wrong- but if you want to give some credit to your teacher, mr. Smirnov, you could (say) make a small article on your blog about something that you have learned from him, and explain it in the most appropriate way. That would benefit the chess.com members (and apparently, mr. Smirnov as well) more than advertising his courses like that.
I guess I could do the same for Efim Geller, and a couple of my other former coaches, but unfortunately they don't really need such a thing anymore...
weird i thought something like that.
I've seen some of his videos too. Very good teacher.

I don't know about other countries, but in the United States there are many advertisements that make grand claims of being the perfect product. Of course we all know it is a lie and read the small print at the bottom which says, more or less, that the impressions given by the advertisement are not true.
It's nice that you're an IM, but obviously the training material can't make everyone an IM. Especially with the repeated mention of his course, it can only remind me of the advertisements I see every day. To me you're making his product seem more dishonest and less worthwhile. Just to let you know there are better ways of proving the worth of a product then repeatedly claiming how amazing it is... for example as pfren said you could demonstrate with games something valuable you learned.

Thats right dont want people misunderstand me.
Im planning that but in a future i have just 17 years old and i dont speak english very good. I want to become a 2700 player first :) ... and at the age of 50 or something like that start making books and chess courses :)
There will be a new opening course this 28th oct. Few of his courses is for beginner and some are very good for class A to below 2200 rating. I would suggest everyone to get his Endgame Expert which teach a practical way to win an endgame. It's not full with theory stuff like others. Check his fb fanpage.
