Rc8, threatening Rc8-c1, then Rh1#. From what I can see, the only move that stops it is Rc7, after which Rxc7, Nxc7, KXc7 leaves black with only pawns. f3 is countered by h5, keeping the King trapped., and if the d pawn moves the king can capture at his leisure. Ra1 allows the capture of the a pawn, after which the rook on rank 2 or 3 traps the white king, and you can secure checkmate either by bringing the king or promoting the A pawn. Just keep the rook off rank 1 to avoid blundering into stalemate.
This is the same move that I found. I believe it best in position. Also f3 is too slow because king will be checkmated first still even if they take your pawn
That's the first move that occurred to me also, but I don't think I would have actually done it because I'm not super good and you really have to see all the way to the end to be certain it is a good move. Too complex for my ability.
You're a really good explaner of chess. Strategy, position, logic, ideas. Most people can't have viewers follow along with the game so effectively. It's impressive. I bet you've helped many improve their games
@@sbuzulu3693 play solid, look for the best moves for you and the opponent,look for checks and captures, don't weaken your position, don't get greedy, evaluate the position create constant threats and finally make sure your opponent doesn't enter your half of the board especially don't let them infiltrate this I very important
I would love to see some of your games that you have played and you analyzing it explaining your mind set during the games! And why you made your moves
15:11 the correct pronunciation is Pirc as Igor pronounced it and not as many freaks pronounce it. The pronunciation is more similar to the last name Pearce and the defense was named after Vasja Pirc, the grandmaster from Yugoslavia.
I've watched a bunch of your videos, and I have to tell you this is the best and most helpful video you have made in my opinion. Thanks for your hard work!
Igor is teaching you guys how to go from intermediate to the next level but so many people in these comments dont want to learn the lessons hes teaching so they convince themselves they need to learn something else, like opening traps or harder tactics. Dont be a horse that wont drink. Take time and practice the things he’s saying. This doesnt not apply to you and you dont “know more what I need than he does”. Play slow, rethink moves with these fundamentals in mind. It’ll slow down then itll become second nature and youll get better.
man speaks the truth I just won 2 straight games implementing THIS mindset, one of which where I blundered a piece and both by checkmate (700 now 716, for now😭). counterattacking not only forces your opponent to stop attacking you, but it also forces them to spend time thinking and bleed their clock down in blitz games😤.
Rc8 starts checkmate attack after R8c1 and Rh1#. White can only stop that sacrifising Rook and Knight for the Rook, which means that white will win the game: The pawns f2, d5 and a2 get lost and after that it's an easy win with the a7-pawn to promote into a new Queen. Black only needs to check that he won't produce a stalemate
How about Rg8 with the intention of going Rg5 and Rh5#? This would also guard against white’s Kc7 in future in case black king needs to take pawn on d5. After black’s Rg8, white loses a tempo if they try to capture either of the two pawns available. The only move to guard against mate is pf4 which opens up the white’s position to attack with two rooks.
I've been watching you 4 about 4 years now. You have really enlightened me. I'm gonna say, I wanna push the "g" pawn. It fits your hint of don't defend, but attack. The d5 pawn forking my pieces bites, but is not decisively damaging. So, cross the center, attack the Knight!!! Where's it gonna move! Hope I'm correct! On with the video P.S., I do hope to be able to $$$ someday sometime on a few of you instructive videos.
1:25 Why not either rook to e8? I'd move the inactive rook from the h8 corner pinning the pawn to the queen. They can of course take the pawn, let you take the queen and it seems dangerous, because white's pawn is one square away fro. promotion, but the other rook guards the 8 rank.
Oh man I'm soooo guilty of this!!! Being so passive in mybdefense, tunnel vision on everything that's under threat and stuck in trying to figure out all the ways to stay as compact as possible and just lock everything up.
@@GMIgorSmirnov wow, very kind of you to reply sir. I’m old (56) and around 2300 USCF. I teach chess, but have learned more from your videos than anything else I’ve watched on the internet. I only wish I could have hired you when I was a kid :) cheers!
10:48 f5 I suppose. Save the pawn, solidiy the g4 pawn to protect from f3. Or wait, maybe even rook c8, then move it to c1, threatening M1. Doesn't look like white can do much.
I keep slipping into the 'defense' mode of playing like I did as a kid. I am now forcing myself to ask that question ! How do I go forward into my opponents half of the board and attack something ?
@@Eobard_Thawne123 Yes but Igor's content is awesome and his rules are universal. I'm 2300 Blitz on cc and his tips such as 'to take is a mistake' are really helpful. I would love to see at least one video for advanced player one day (and I'm sure the audience will not be mad about one video :P )
For the puzzle, I'll play Rc8, white will have to play Rc7 to give up the rook and knight for the c8 rook, otherwise Rc1 followed by Rh1# seems to be unstoppable
Thank you Igor I love your channel..... Are you sure doing it the American way which is just giving it money and hope it goes away is it the right way????
Bobby moves his rook to C8 and the only way to prolong mate in two that I see is for white to sacrifice his horse and trade the rooks. But booby would win nevertheless
14:38 wait... so the girl on right (White) already lost on time, but then they keep playing and the one on the left (Black) resigns? What's going on here? Who did win this game? 😀😀
10:49 for puzzle of the day black can play Rc8 and there is no way for white to stop black playing Rc1 without giving up material. If black manages to get the rook on c1 then mate is forced on h1
I beat my 2300 Friend he beat me 4 times to my one but I got another win again out of a desperate position too, thanks Igor. I am a weird Plays at 1500 but can sometimes play as a 2000 type of guy, trying to get more consistent in the better playing category LOL
My brain hurts. I feel the 3rd best move is to move my Q to f4 , if their Q takes mine, I check with my knight for a fork on their Queen. Try for an end game. Ok, what's best
I don't like that fischer said women cant play chess. My gf crushes after three months playing a lot of 800 s in blitz 😂🎉 people who train since a longer time.

That example game featured an insane amount of counterattack on both sides! Both sides trying desperately to ignore each other!

Rc8-c1?

Black only needs to check that he won't produce a stalemate
Good examples with demonstration quite helpful, thanks.
I guessed what the concept was going to be in the beginning of the video because Fischer was so aggressive and taught me the same thing.
How about Rg8 with the intention of going Rg5 and Rh5#? This would also guard against white’s Kc7 in future in case black king needs to take pawn on d5. After black’s Rg8, white loses a tempo if they try to capture either of the two pawns available. The only move to guard against mate is pf4 which opens up the white’s position to attack with two rooks.
Ok, did not see the move of R-c4, before the Queen exchange. Uggg, well, at least you taught me this far! Thank you
I've been watching you 4 about 4 years now. You have really enlightened me. I'm gonna say, I wanna push the "g" pawn. It fits your hint of don't defend, but attack.

After Qc5+, best move is not KxB but d6 attacking the Queen.
Awesome video.. You're the best!
10:48 f5 I suppose. Save the pawn, solidiy the g4 pawn to protect from f3.
Or wait, maybe even rook c8, then move it to c1, threatening M1. Doesn't look like white can do much.
GOOD STUFF IT HELPED ME ALOT THANKS 👍😊
For 10:51 I think 1...Rc8 to threaten 2...Rcc1 to threaten mate using the pawn's blockade over h3.
I know u shouldn't normally put knight on the side of the board, but is it a good idea to play knight A5 forking the bishop and queen?
I keep slipping into the 'defense' mode of playing like I did as a kid. I am now forcing myself to ask that question ! How do I go forward into my opponents half of the board and attack something ?
Can you make a video for advanced and master level players
If you thinking advanced to master then you should remember 95% of this channel’s watchers are under 2000 elo.
What's your rating man

He already has. Advanced and master level players could benefit immensely from this video and many others of his.
5:11 That's a family fork, not just a royal fork. 😁🤓
Thanks again, Igor.

Thank you!
Great explanation of attacking rather than defending, a big problem here
that is an excellent tutor
Appreciate you for being here 💛
At 17.25 minute can white just go for bishop takes rook then if knight take gueen bishop takes knight
what a legend
Bobby moves his rook to C8 and the only way to prolong mate in two that I see is for white to sacrifice his horse and trade the rooks. But booby would win nevertheless
I found Ne2 f5, though I was saying f5 moves prior LOL so not all the credit
Rc8/81looks a really hard to stop mate threat.
Best chess teacher!
Hanging two pieces is really the same as hanging one piece, so might as well counterattack
Well, I got to the Knight checking the white king. Gonna need more teaching to get past that(or a long nap before my 🧠 reactivates).
14:38 wait... so the girl on right (White) already lost on time, but then they keep playing and the one on the left (Black) resigns?
What's going on here? Who did win this game? 😀😀
10:49 for puzzle of the day black can play Rc8 and there is no way for white to stop black playing Rc1 without giving up material. If black manages to get the rook on c1 then mate is forced on h1
The best defense is a good offense
I'm not very good, to put it mildly but, rook e7, blocking the rxf7.
R-G8 R-G5 R-H5 checkmate
Ok, 2nd move, I'm thinking Nx d4...

No way, I can't believe that was the answer.
Yep. Ain't no perk in the Pirc!
After d5 I would play g4 thinking: hey he takes a minor piece, hence me too
Great video!

No, it is Carlsen (until now).
Certainly it's a matter of opinion - but mine is yes!
How about Kasparov? He dominated the chess world from 1985 to 2000.
you rhghit pls do more vidios like this vidio
Do you prefer playing as black or white
both are 50%
Both are the same. Although white moves first and starts with an attack, black can counter them.

Hope this helps.
