Nice game - I do like the slower pace, which gives you more time to explain your thinking and make better moves. It also allows me to play along with you in trying to figure out what should come next.
Because of you teaching the Pirc and Czech Pirc, I've went from 1400 to 1800 in 2 weeks. And get this, I've done that only playing as black. I wanted to get better as black so that's all I've played. It's now my favorite opening. I've beat a few 2000's as black playing the Czech Pirc. Really appreciate the lessons. You're AWESOME! Keep the Pirc videos coming...👍
Seeing you get these positions from the opening almost makes me want to play the Pirc. On a more serious note, totally agree about the point of bringing opponents on to your home ground, I think many players underestimate that!
I learned the pirc defense from your earlier video on it and it’s been my go-to opening for black since then. thanks for the useful and informative content
Great Video, Thanks. I am much more comfortable with the longer time control and calm explanations of the candidate moves. I have time to consider what I would do in most situations in games like this. Thanks again!
Hello Robert. What do you think about Nxe4 after 0-0, 0-0 that happened in the game? I always go for it when they have bishop on c4 and engine shows it as brilliant move. I usually get nice games with it too
Robert, how do you play the Pirc against a bishop opening? I often have trouble with 1.e4,d6 2.Bc4, Nf6 3.d3,g6. They usually retreat their bishop to a2 after moving theh pawn and it annoys the hell out me for the rest of the game
This was a great lesson. And the time control helps a lot to breakdown the reasons behind the moves. Also, could you play a Sicilian with the Black pieces with this time control?
Nice video! Here is a question, would you swap a queen for 2 rooks if there were other minor pieces on the board (equal on both sides)? Bishops and especially knights have this way of getting to my rooks. Also, if a king is exposed the queen can play a lot of checks and grab pawns. In the situation in this game, it does look good for the 2 rooks VS Queen, but there are many times when it is not. Just my experience, haha!
@@NMRobertRamirezHello! That makes sense. Thanks for the clarification. I was wondering if Chess Play and Learn's rating system is better (more accurate) than the Lichess rating system. Thank you so much!!!

Showing more online 15+10 games is a definite plus...keep it going!
Brilliant video. Reinforces our knowledge of the Pirc that we learned in your previous videos and the 15/10 format gives time to explain. Thank you!
Thanks. Studied all your KID and Pirc videos. Extremely helpful. Please keep them coming!
Thank you! It means a lot to know you found some value in those videos 💪
Another fine game. Great lesson. Mentioning Tato is your good luck charm.

You are one step closer to giving it a try, Sam 😅💪
your Pirc series is great. thank you.

As always a great explanation. It is very interesting that you calculate with us before making the move.
Thank you, David! It means a lot to know you liked that 👍😎
Nice game and explanations, and I do like the videos on these longer games
Im practicing for my first tournament ever and your videos on the pirc have been so helpful i won many matches thanks to you. Virtual hugs 👍🏼
You’ve made this my favourite opening. This video was extremely instructive, so thanks!
Fine game! Good lesson!
Thanks
There's a lot to learn from you working through rapid games sometimes, thanks!

Once again, Fantastic game coach
I loved this video. Thank you.

Good work my man watching you from Nairobi, Kenya East Africa
Hello! Thank you 🙌👍

Hi Rob! If white plays Bc4, you can take on e5 (after castling).
I like how u stop yourself from doing crazy moves. Need to learn that. 😄
I've had enough of those crazy moves 😅

Nevermind I see it in analysis now 😅

You got it! 💪😎
It's amazing how well you know this and how little the White opponents typically know about it. And this is even a quite frequent line.
More czech pirc! Is it possible?
Of course 👍
👏
Yes, my favorite.

looks like there is no live stream today also
Coach is saving his energy for the up and coming 24 hour stream. Can’t wait😉
Played to perfection. Coach is the Pirc king.
