Hit my first chess tournament OTB and went from unrated to >1300. I’m coming for that NM title, coach! 1 Vienna game 1 Pirc 1 London All lines taught by NM Ramirez. Thanks for the lessons. I keep referring to you hope people realize how lucky we are to have this high quality, highly palatable, yet somehow free instruction.
Way to go Zen. Good luck on reaching your goal. Alas having reached full Biblical life expectancy it's well beyond this wood-pusher's reach. Reminds me of the aphorism, "If only the young knew, if only the old could." Or, as Buddha said, "Decay is inherent in all compound things. Seek out your salvation with diligence." IOW get it while you can. Good luck! Needless to say NM Ramirez' lessons are a gold mine of chess instruction given gratis for which we all owe a debt of gratitude. Thanks again kind sir!
I came across your channel a few weeks ago. It's taken me many hours to catch up to #116, but mission accomplished! I appreciate all of the content you have provided. Covid has crippled my desire to play OTB tournaments. You are the sole reason my love for the game hasn't dimension. Thank you 😊.
Thank you, Robert, for another quality, helpful video lesson! Both the quiet, flexible c6 and the effective Rb8 are very instructive. I also love the way you refer to other lessons to reinforce the concepts. Kids who have you for a teacher are very lucky!
Can't thank you enough for all this free and incredible study material ! I mostly end up sacrificing in the wrong way in the end due to time management, but getting out of the opening with a solid plan is definitely thanks to you :)
Really. Sounds familiar. As GM Huschenbeth says, "tactics are the foundation of everything else." Some cats got the knack, most cats don't. Individual talent is not evenly distributed, doggonit. Life just ain't fair! But even playing chess at amateur level is still well worth the effort. Cheers.
Grand of you to show this alternative and instructional game. My favored move was the Kings Rook to protect the Kings Indian Bishop. EXCELLENT diversity in your teachings, Thank you so much!! ... Mike
A belated thank you to coach Robert for this video and series. Oddly no one I've played using the Pirc ever attacked me with the Spike. Mostly 150 and Austrian, but now I know what to do!
I have calculated that there is a 7.6875% chance that one of your students (from the channel) becomes a grandmaster. The chance is probably a lot more, around 20%, but the mathematical conclusion derives a chance of 7.7%. That's so cool when you think of it TBH. If you get 100k subscribers, there is a 40%+ chance that one of your students will be a grandmaster, and BTW, there is a 60% chance that one of your viewer is will eventually be a grandmaster. That is so amazing, the probabilities are a lot larger, as I believe the viewers of this channel are a lot more serious about their chess career. Your doing an amazing job! BTW, and informing you that through a bunch of statistics was the purpose of this comment. Thanks
@@NMRobertRamirez Hey, the past few days, I was slightly skeptical regarding the Pirc Defense, especially against certain variations where Black is simply losing by a lot... I was on the verge of removing the Pirc Defense from my repertoire and learning the Sicilian, until yesterday, when I decided to try and find a strong line against some of the variations I fear in the Pirc Defense. I plugged in some of the variations I was scared of, and used Komodo and Leela (instead of stockfish) to analyze lines I can use to counter or prevent the variation I feared. After hours of analyzing positions, I finally found lines that I was comfortable playing with the Pirc against some of those scary variations of White. One variation that I most dreadfully hated was: 1. e4, d6 2. d4, Nf6 3. Nc3, g6 4. Nf3, Bg7 5. Bc4, O-O 6. h6, c6 7. O-O, Qc7 8. a4, Nbd7 9. Be3, e5 10. dxe5, dxe5 And now Black is much worse. I cant really move my Rook on f8, as White would play Ng5 and force my rook back to f8. I can also not play h6, preventing Ng5, because then White has Qd2 and can pressure my h6 Pawn, creating some nice attacking chances. Now, one line actually prevented all this nonsense. 1. e4, d6 2. d4, Nf6 3. Nc3, g6 4. Nf3, Bg7 5. Bc4, O-O 6. h3 - As soon as I see this h3 move, I can't play Bg4, so I instead play Nxe4, which now prevents the whole variation :). Now, I still play the c6 plan, and that's probably the plan I play the most, but I also feared early e5 pushes, which really challenges the c6 system. Luckily Leela found a line against the e5 plan of White, which it calls equal. Komodo doesn't entirely disagree, but it still gives a 0.4 advantage to White. And best thing, I am comfortable with the plan! :)
Coach I am struggling against an opening against pirc I don't know the name but it is that white pushes e5 before black plays e5. And one suggestion that please play classical games online so that we can know your thought process against strong opponents.
Hello! Thanks a lot for your suggestion 🙌 I like the idea 😎 And please, provide the moves leading to the position to make sure we are on the same page 👍

Estoy empezando a usar la Pirc en un orden distinto de desarrollo y me ha dado muchos mejores resultados que salir de una forma clásica. Claro, no siempre se puede, pero salir de caballo y luego peón, y sacar el alfíl primero como en este vídeo, me dejó tener más control del área que un desarrollo más estandar.
wonderful game, wonderful analysis, thanks. The hard part for me was to leave the Nb8 and Bc8 home, and deciding the rook and queen should be developed first.
thanks! Any chance you could drop a short vid on how to counter the English Opening (c4) or the Bird (f4) with KID/Pirc ? Those always throw me for a bit of a loop.
I have gone through all the lesson ...and you made me a really good player that how to think how to apply plans everything.....Thank you so much sir.... I have one request Please make videos on games of all the great players and their style and strategy ...
You are welcome! And thanks a lot for your feedback and feedback! It means a lot to know you have watched all the lessons 🙌💪 We have had some lessons where we analyze games of great players such as # 66, but we will certainly do more of those.
I want to thank you for your guidance in regards to bring the games to lichess. Most people buzz through the directions. Great job as always. Thank you. May Jesus bless your entire family, Amen
1:43: Writing before I watch the continuation. A surprisingly promissing option is playing h5. If he takes, I retake with the knight. If he pushes g4 I play Ng5 myself.
Hey Robert have you ever thought about doing a pirc chessable course? There is one but by a person who isn't a pirc player... I would definitely buy it!!!
i just fininish it what an organisation of pieaces scare etc ; i know yasser i watch some video of him on youtube very humble but your lesson its just veryyyy very helpful for me thank you so mucj for all master
I have faced this line, but only once. I ended up casting long. I remember that game, it was different. I love the rook on g8 idea. I would never have thought of that. Thanks, coach😊
I was waiting for a new video; I did not know this bariation thank you sssssoooooooooo mmmmuucchh I will study it now; and thank you for the studies on lichess thank you thank you you are the best really I will start it now if I have any questions I will say it :)
I had just finished a game when I experienced this technique. The g8 rook definitely would have helped. I won the game regardless, but it would have helped

Thanks for posting this very instructional game. Been in similar positions. Never thought of Rg8!. Will use it this week against an aggressive player.

Most complete course about Pirc! Thanks RobRam!
I love the way you keep revising master !!

21:00 I think there was a check with queen takes pawn on g6 if you took the d6 pawn
Preparation before penetration. An important life lesson on many levels 😀
Nice lesson again! Never met this g5 push in 2000 games although. Thanks Robert 👍🇨🇵
16:30 these lesson paid off. I paused the video looked at checks, etc and decided Bd7 gotta be the move activating the other rook.
Awesome video! Loved the rook g8 idea
I will study so that I can teach to my new chess lovers....

This is really nice game...I didn't meet so far with this variation of Pirc....it's very interesting.
I think my brain grows every time , when I see your videos 😅
in minute 9:20 - Why would the knight not go to a4?
intead of rook e8+ ta tactic does knight takes a4 work?
Very good, thanks 👍
Beautiful!

grandios
Ayyyy, I guessed the Ke7 move correctly, nice
Edit: Found Bd7 as well :D
why not take rook to h1?
when queen was behind it battery?
I mean earlier
@@RayForrester hello! What point in the video? 🤔
Put the rook on the f file because the rook is pinned then take rook with queen
Nope I did not think of developing the rook by moving the bishop
Next time you will 💪😎 Thanks a lot for your feedback 🙌
