How to be a Grandmaster Series:

People always want to know how Grandmaster's achieved the extraordinary feat of becoming a GrandMaster. I noticed most Grandmaster interview's focus more on recent and upcoming tournament's and do not focus on how they became a GrandMaster. While most people assume that becoming a GrandMaster is simply a formula of natural talent and hard work, we've discovered there is more to the secret formula. Our interview series hopes to unlock these "GrandMaster secrets" so we can learn to not only work harder, but smarter as well. Our GrandMaster Interview series includes both audio and video interviews on our YouTube as well as text interviews with corresponding games on our site. We hope you enjoy these grandmaster interviews. Comments are appreciated and if you have questions you'd like to ask future grandmasters, let us know.

at 6:47 why queen to b5 instead of capturing the pawn on b4?

[OnlineChessLessons]

@SHAHENx812 if Qxb4 then pretty much the same continuation as the actual game w/ Qd6+ and some ideas w/ Nd7+ to win the loose queen on b4

Thumbs up if you thought it was THE Petrosian

[OnlineChessLessons]

@7blekky7 Read the interview, the story behind it is his dad did it on purpose and coincitentally enough he did become a mega super top #100 super GM!!! Didn't know things work like that, perhaps I should name my son Bill Gates, lol!

this was awesome! comments and game

[kamiakin5]

@OnlineChessLessons lol. i think it has something to do with expectations. Leif Nelson (Berkeley) and Joseph Simmons (Penn) did a study on the subconscious with names. What it suggests is interesting. for example people whose name starts with K strike out slightly more in MLB.

Anyways, keep up the good videos. I really enjoy them and learn much from them XD
