I first played the Pirc a couple months ago when I missclicked a Scandinavian 😭🤣 I learned some ideas afterwards because it seemed like a cool opening and now I throw it out occasionally, when I want some change. Cool video to learn more about it!
I liked to play the Pirc very much! Esp. because almost no one was prepared very well to it. In the beginning i had to suffer some losses, but after a while i had some nice wins with it. I liked its flexibility. Opponents went impatient and then played careless moves. As from this video, playing against the Byrd variation is very difficult. Maybe you could do a video on that single variation for black?
Thanks for putting together this overview of the Pirc. I started playing it (along with KID) when I got back into chess a few years ago but I have to admit that I have a hard time with it. At lower levels opponents often don't know how to attack it but better players do, and I lost a lot of games with it. Still working on it though I am currently playing Scandinavian more often against e4. I feel more comfortable in those positions.
I knew this 3-4 years ago when pirc was less popular and i got easy wins but after magnus played it and your video this is mediocarly popular and i loose here and there but still its good😊
After watching this, I tried it first time ever in a bullet game and smoked my opponent. It felt exactly as you described: seemingly slow and defensive and then BOOM. ❤️ I was uncomfortable with how the development was going and then everything turned
damn! thank goodness i was surfing through yt for pirc defense ,as in bullet n blitz it's a go to move cuz of easy positioning regardless of my opponent's move as Black it's somewhat easy for me now to set in at start of game but lot to go..! Thanks for this video😊
I play jobava and i beat a lot of pirc players easily by pushing my e pawn to E4 then E5, exchanging pawns, then, exchanging queens. Move in with my knight, from c3 to d5 give up the dark bishop it appears to defend and fork king and rook on c7 with knight with mate next turn from rook on d8. They have ways to refute but the position feels great for white
@@FuegoBurns6969 Same. Plus you eventually learn all the major ways you lost and then start seeing the threats the moment your opponent thinks of them.
Igor, did you miss the en passant move by white in your explanation. That would have resulted in the white pawn simultaneously attacking the rook and queen?
I think forking the rook and king, then taking the rook, and QxB will give queen control of the dark square diagonal. And from then its going to be a major checkmate threat.
Just played this and had a great game, something i'd like to know though. When you have such a good game, am i the only one, who does not want to play again? I feel like i've had such a good game that the next game can only be worse.
I used this as black and English opening from 200 to 500 34 played only four loses Then i after 500 i was cooked every single game 😮😢 I moved to London system and no black opening specif I lost almost 9/10 and i am now 600 elo I just became from hero to zero 😅
The pirc defense is an unsound opening with tons of traps for white to destroy black easily , this line requires cooperation from the opponent lots of it
I also play as white the way u mentioned it ;-). It supposedly was called 150 attack in England in middle of XX century, if I remember correctly. "One fifty" because their team coach told to play this way against those defensive one fifty ranking pirc players, and they were smashing them with the setup you mentioned.
That must be why Magnus Carlsen has never played it before. Oh? Whatchu mean he plays with it and wins all the time. Show me someone saying pirc is trash & I'll show you someone who blamed theory for being bad at chess

The "C" in pirc is pronounced as an "S" as it was named after Vasja Pirc (who was Slovenian). Just sayin...
I registered for the masterclass, it's late today so I will start learning within the next couple of days.
In classical variation after Bc4 I usually play c6 Czech pirc and most of the time my opponent blunder b5,b4 and winning the e pawn
I am really in need of understanding.
I dominate games and manage to completely lose at the end. Can i send you a couple examples? Please help

I need to watch your videos like I’m actually going to school and study these teachings you give us
Pronunciation of Slovenian surname Pirc is Peerts.
Thank you for great video.
Oh thank you I was so confused to hear a non American saying "perk" lol
Beautiful illustration of Pirc defence 🎉🎉❤❤
I love the Pirc, because I'm too lazy to learn a bunch of black openings!

“…and then, you are on winning position…” oh, you don’t know me!
Igor, when a course on Pirc?
Thoughts on combining the Pirc with the Old Benoni as a foundation for a repertoire for Black?
in the end, it's knight d7, right?
What book on the Pirc would you recommend for a C-player?
very similar to kings indian
No similar, It's Kings India defence Only
It's called pirc if E4 d6
@@Wryyyyyyyyy21 Pirc Defence it is, and the King side Setup that is forming in the process that is King's Indian
@@rashikasharma0807 yeah they overlap each other after a few moves,but saying it is KID refusing og comments is just dubious
Kings Indian is primarily a king side attacking defense, so your similarities is flawed

12:50 Nb3+
Kinda like the Sicilian as well. Thanks Igor. I would love to see the old Benoni
Great content, thank you 👍
HEY IGOR CAN YOU SHOW HOW TOCOUNTER THE SCANDINAVIAN DEFENCE MODERN VARIATION
I play jobava and i beat a lot of pirc players easily by pushing my e pawn to E4 then E5, exchanging pawns, then, exchanging queens.
Move in with my knight, from c3 to d5 give up the dark bishop it appears to defend and fork king and rook on c7 with knight with mate next turn from rook on d8. They have ways to refute but the position feels great for white
кстати твои тактики реально работают! я уже пробовал пару) все работает!!!
Wouldn't call it a beginner friendly opening. Most beginners are going to get cooked in pirc when white pushes pawns on the king side
Simple response to the 150 attack is just to go c6 b5 and roll on the Queen side.
There is another attack called lions jaw(it's deadly)
You all sound like old Kunfu movies Masters😅😂
Been playing this since day one as my main black opening and at 600-700 elo I can say yes you’ll lose a lot but the games will be interesting
@@FuegoBurns6969 Same. Plus you eventually learn all the major ways you lost and then start seeing the threats the moment your opponent thinks of them.
Igor, did you miss the en passant move by white in your explanation. That would have resulted in the white pawn simultaneously attacking the rook and queen?
If you're referring to 11:01 , I don't think white is allowed to en passant from that position (the sixth rank).
0:21 if Bd3 - e5
2:51 if e5 - Nfd7, dxc5 - dxe5, fxe5 - Nc6, Bb5 - Ndxe5, Qxd8+ - Kxd8
2:51 if Be3 - cxd4, Nxd4 - 0-0 or if Bxd4 - Nc6
13:17 if e5 - dxe5, Nxe5 - 0-0
20:04 if Qb3 - c5
21:44 if Nf3 - 0-0
hey i have question.. what if white plays Bd3 on move 4
Bro Is Destroying GothamChess Openings
Super powerful!!!! 🎉
Awesome to hear that from you!
2:20 i get alot of white pawn D4 to D5
Thanks now this defense will be my repertoire for black pieces
21:10 why can't white block with bishop D4
This setup was very instructive and versatile. Liked it very much.
Do you think you could make an anti caro kann without theory lesson?
at 5:41, why not take with the bishop instead of the queen?
I think forking the rook and king, then taking the rook, and QxB will give queen control of the dark square diagonal. And from then its going to be a major checkmate threat.
5:51 "juicy rook" 😂
I ised to play the pirc defense when i was an active junior chess player ❤
When the opponent plays a knight move or even two knight moves with no pawn move, is this considered E4, or D4?
Thank you !
It's e4 if they play E4 and it's d4 if they play d4.
Have been playing this since I was 600-700 and now I'm 1222 rapid
At 3 minutes, what if white does pawn B4 here?
Can you create a video about modern defennse.
What do I do I the second line if he does not castle queen's side instead moves the rook to protect his b2 pawn
What do I do in the second trap if he does not castle Queen's side instead moves his rook to protect his b2 pawn
This is a powerful unbeatable Counterattack.😎
hey i have question.. what if white plays Bd3 on move 4
Knight b3 check and discover attack the take the undefended queen on f2
So pirc can just transpose to the Dragon Var. Sicilian
Please give me a video how play this line against English opening
It's a very strong defence💪Despite of hypo☠️
just watching this video helps.... cool i know stuff . . . but then so do the other 19000 people who watched it. damn.
At 11:40, why is a check in response to a check an illegal move? It protects their king while threatening the other.
It isn't. He said "illegal" move with air quotes.
Just played this and had a great game, something i'd like to know though. When you have such a good game, am i the only one, who does not want to play again? I feel like i've had such a good game that the next game can only be worse.
I told you it was a great opening sir
“… completely out of blue view sky….” 😂😂😂
I developed this system instinctively with black, didn't even know it has a name.
I used this as black and English opening from 200 to 500 34 played only four loses
Then i after 500 i was cooked every single game 😮😢
I moved to London system and no black opening specif
I lost almost 9/10 and i am now 600 elo

Wooow I'm a 1265 but I'm crushing 1300s+ with this Perc Opening, wooow thanks for this I'll definitely play this one religiously with black.😂
"pirc", pronounced as peertz
ok, whatever he presents is llike will never ever happen. who da hell plays 05:05 , a 300elo?
Consider watching the whole video before opening your mouth. He addressed this move being bad directly.
@@kylezo you asleep? i am typing
Good thing I alway play Kings Indian whrn black, less good thing I suck at whatever I play

Don't ever try with 600 elo they don't even know what to do 😊😢😢
Nb3+ wins the queen
I don't see any difference between pirc defenses and king indian
kb3+, a1xb3, qxf2
Nb3+ the black queen falls
It's pronounced "Pirts" not "Pirk".
Wrong

Hi
I am 4th
This is King's India Defence
kings *indian* defense
No one above 1500 will fall for this

This and king's defence are the most annoying bs ass opening
This opening is trash if white plays e4 d4 f3 Be3 Qd2 0-0-0
