Benefits of Playing Chess:
- Promotes brain growth
- Increases problem-solving skills
- It exercises both sides of the brain
- Raises your IQ
- Sparks your creativity
- Teaches planning and foresight
- Teaches patience and concentration
- Optimizes memory improvement
- Improves recovery from stroke or disability
- Helps treat ADHD
Chess is an intellectual battle where players are exposed to numerous mental processes such as analysis, attention to detail, synthesis, concentration, planning and foresight. Psychological factors are also present on and off the board; playing Chess stimulates our imagination and creativity. Every single move a player makes is the result of a deep analysis based on the elements presented on the battlefield.
Chess in its essence teaches us psychological, sociological and even moral values. In a Chess game, both players start with the same amount of material and time. The fact that the white pieces move first is considered to be practically irrelevant -especially because a player typically plays one game as white and one game as black. Consequently, the final result of the battle solely depends on each player. It doesn’t matter if you win by taking advantage of your opponent’s mistakes or by simply avoiding mistakes yourself. Truth is that Chess is an extremely individual sport and our defeats can only be blamed on ourselves and no one else. And this, in the end, only benefits us because we learn to be and feel responsible for our actions and never come up with excuses to justify ourselves.
We also learn that when it comes to our victories on the board, our opponent's mistakes play a more significant role than our own skills. Let’s not forget that a Chess game without any mistakes would be a draw. This way, Chess provides us with another valuable life lesson: be humble at all times.

cant recommend this channel enough, every thought is explained well and shows the reasonings behind every move
Amazing lesson
I've not played chess in years. I find after these lessons that I might want to pick it up again!
Re-watched this 11 months later. IT MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE NOW!! THANK YOU!
Ive learned quite a bit about chess in the last two months. Mostly used Gothamchess, eric rosen, hanging pawns and maybe a few others. However, i've found your channel the most instructive of the lot. I've been focusing on the KID/Pirc as black and London/Vienna as white and my game has improved so much with your instruction. Thank you and keep them coming!
Thanks a lot for your comment, David! It truly means a lot 👍
I've been playing chess for 50 years and you are the best teacher ever, you explain everything so clearly and it all works,if only I had this kind of coaching back then. Excellent work Robert please keep it going .
Tundish
Thanks a lot for your kind words! Please, feel free to ask me any questions you might have 👍😎
Haven't come across any chess coach on youtube who teaches and explains reason behind every single move in so much detail...keep up the good work Rob...great work excellent!
You got it! Thanks a lot for your kind words 👍😎
Was looking for this, as many people play teh London system these days. Thanks a lot!
You are welcome! Hope it works well for you 💪
This is the exact video I was looking for today. I was wondering if the king's Indian defense was a good idea against the London and this video delivered!
My favourite chess teacher on youtube! Thanks a lot!
You are welcome, Leo! 💪
This series around the KID is one of the best I’ve seen. Thank-You!
Perfect Presentation, love Robert's insight on chess..
Great work, as usual.
Great lesson Robert. Many thanks. It was clear, concise and you presented options. Loved it all.
Woaah I learned so much! Keep doing this great work!
Another great video, really happy with the b6 and a6 ideas !
Theres a lot of tutorial but your way of tutorial is the very best,very ,clear and competent ..thankyou master
rob your videos are amazing! I always come back for more lesson! keep it up !
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE your repetition based teaching style.
Great lessons and videos. Really appreciate it!!
Wow. Can't wait to try this out.
Dear sir, this is such wonderful content from, I really hope you're earning well enough from all this, I never skip ads when played, I watch it for as long as it needs to be, thank you so much for doing it for free
I like how you always explain every move,it helps me see the board better
Iam playing london regularly... but I don't know how to play against london... Such a great coaching... thank you robert!
You got it, Anil! 💪
I love your videos! I love when you play live or show your games. Blitz 5+2 is fine with me as you have sufficient time to share your thoughts. Also I love the repetitions! 30 min video is not too long for me
Great videos, simple explanations!
What a lesson!!! Congratulations!!
I really like this lesson and his teaching style. The repetitions make the video longer, true, but I think they're perfect to remember the key moves later.
a6 all the way!
Nicely explained all the reasoning for the moves, very helpful for remembering. Thanks :)
You are welcome! Thanks for your feedback. It helps a lot 👍
Robert, this is great! Thank you!
Great video! I've been taking Kamil Plichta's course on the KID, but he leaves out responses to the London. After studying this I feel much more confident playing against d4, you give so many good ideas and thematic moves. I appreciate the repetition too, it helps a lot when learning these lines. Thanks so much - your lessons are so good I might exclusively play KID/Pirc from now on!
You are more than welcome! Happy to see you are finding value in these lessons. Please, let me know if you ever have any questions! 👍
d4 Nf6 Bf4 g6 e3 Bg7 Nf3 0-0 :
Be3 d6 0-0 Nbd7 c3 Re8 Nbd2 - 3:42
Be2 d6 0-0 Nbd7 c3 Re8 Nbd2/h3 - 8:27
If a4 then a6 (do a6 before e5 break)
Amazing! Thanks for this.
You are welcome, Joel!
Great job as always. You have become my favorite instructor.
Great lesson!!
Really great. Thank you
Great course, thank you
Excellent, just found this channel, will look at your other vids. Many thanks.
Really enjoyed this tutorial 👍
A combination of both.
I like the surprised line that you showed.
Very good! Easy to understand though the overwhelming information
Great job 👏👏👏
Excelente clase,gracias NM Robert.
Un placer, Enrique! 👍
I love all of them sir, as always awesome explain, and you are awesome:)
Such quality content for free. Wow. Thanks alot !
You are more than welcome! 💪
Excellent video.
I was searching a good plan with kings indian against london system. I saw some video but no one was this much better as you taught. You are a awesome teacher and my dream coach in my journey to 2000 elo.
So glad you found this plan useful! Please, let me know how it goes when you try it next and thanks a lot for your kind words as usual. It means a lot!
Really thanks for your excellent videos 😊
I watched this thing now in 2023 and I recommend this for all players this is something useful.. thank you for doing that amazing analysis ❤❤
Big thank you to you!
I didn't know that after c4 you play e5, so that's actually super useful.
Can't say enough that I appreciate you. :)
You are more than welcome, Leon! Glad you liked it!
"Always reply to an attack on a wing by striking at the centre". 🙂
Extremely helpful content, thanks a lot! You mentioned a second plan you execute but you'd come back to in a later video. Is that one out yet? And if so, what's the lesson number?
Watching everyday 3 or 4 of your lessons and still hiped to keep on learning!!!!! Thank you for the course👏 Playing KID/Pirc with ELO 500 and everytime, everybody break into e5 before I get all the opening ready and nothing applies for me :D But still Fiachetto and the ideas I learnt from you Rob help me win. Let's see how long it takes me to get from 500 to 600...
Great stuff! Thanks. I prefer ...a6.
Love the repetition approach in your videos! I only started learning a few months back, but was losing interest after being unable to follow what the chess heads were talking about in their videos. Always seemed like a bunch of nonsensical gibberish meant to show off how smart they are with no intention to actually teach something, despite the vids being "lessons". I feel I have made far more progress after only watching a few of your lessons; than I did with the 100 vids of others I watched before. You got a well deserved sub from me my friend. Thank you for reigniting my interest in this fantastic game. Happy Holidays!
Can't really thank you enough for these videos!
👍😎
Good job, good teachers are hard to find these days.....!
Really thank you
Wonderfuly explained sir ❤️
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Best chess channel. Thanks for your teaching
Very informative
Great explanation learn a lot ❤❤❤❤ better than 90 percent of channels
Buen trabajo hermano me encanta tu canal !!!
Muchas gracias 🙌 Me alegra mucho ver su comentario. Me dice si tiene alguna pregunta. Saludos!
Excellent instruction !!! If only I can lock it in memory banks !
Thanks!
You are more than welcome, Thomas! Thanks a lot for ll your support 👍💪😎
Thanks
Thanks Robert. Excellent content! I am an 1100 player, so I have a lot to learn. I like the Pirc/KID setup and am trying to learn it. This helps a lot. I play the London as white, so I recognize when it is used against me, and I find it the most difficult to oppose when I’m black.
You are more than welcome! Thank you for your feedback. It means a lot!
the main structural difference is that in the pirc the knight is on c3 locking in the c pawn for white
Great content like always! I just have a quick question though. When people play the London against the kings Indian, some people like to castle queen side. Any thoughts on what to do after that?
So against the London, the Hippirc works well! Thanks, great vid!
An other masterpiece lesson
loooovveee it thannnkkkkk yuo again and again coach !!!
Excelent!
Another valuable lesson. I prefer a6. Many thanks. 💪🏼👍🏼👏👏👏
Thank you, Mark, for your feedback 👍😎
thank you so much
You are welcome! Happy to help 👍
Great video Robert. Do you have a video for KID v Jobava London? When white plays d4 Bf4 Nc3 or d4 Nc3 Bf4.
Robert, what are your thoughts on 5. Nfd7 (instead of Nbd7). I've seen this talked about as a way to get e5 in faster and aggressively go for f5 sooner. I mean as a specific counter to the London. Thanks! 💪
At 12min. I had to hit the like button. Everything is explained well. Thank you!
Thank you! 🙌👍
I prefer a6. I can see the difference between a master and an intermediate player like me; the master has a plan for all the game, instead only a few moves and basic knowledge for the intermediate. I have a better feeling now of what is ahead to the road of mastering if I ever get there. Thanks again!
Would have liked to see the London variation with knight to c3 instead of pawn. I see that a lot.
Nice video.
I hope I'm not sounding too greedy, but any chance of a "Colle zuckertort" lesson?
It featured briefly in one of your videos and you recommended it to me in a comment.
I've tried it and it's really good- but I bet you've got some great tips.
I often managed to get a knight on e5 playing it and black has a lot of trouble removing it. Two bishops aimed at the black king. Plenty of space to move the queen and even rook into for an attack.
Hello Chris! We will definitely talk about the Colle at some point in the future. It is very interesting and I like it a lot. So, count on that lesson 👍
thanks for the tips for using lichens!!
You are more than welcome 👍
Nice video! Could you make a video playing the kings Indian defense against the 150 attack?
Thank you! Feel free to check out lesson # 70 and let me know if that's what you mean 👍
7:12 been there, done that :)
Thanks again for a amazing video. I have 2 questions: 1) how about Qe8 instead of Re8 and 2)what if before castling, White plays h4 aiming for opposite castle and a pawn storm against the black castle? Jean-Michel
great bro, b6 is very usefull
Glad you liked it. Let me know how it goes next time you use it 👍
Excellent lesson! I'm a die hard KID player and I have always wondered what is the best reply to the annoying Bf4 London. I believe black can also go for ...d5 instead of ...d6 but I think it depends of white's set up and it takes the game in a completely different direction. Thanks for the lesson! Cheers!
Coach today I played KID it seemed to be Byrne variation but it was new
I love that a6 better. I haven't even played it but watching you, I totally love a6
Very good
Good luck
Hi Robert, I think your explanations are the best and I love your teaching style! I have a question in playing against the London. If they put the Bishop on c4 (Bc4), instead of on e2 or d3. What plans and lines do you recommend?
Hello Pierre! In that case, I typically continue with similar ideas. I have even seen some plans with Qe8 in order to support the e5 break. That bishop on c4 many times ends up going back to d3 or e2 anyways 👍
@@NMRobertRamirez Thank you for your time, Robert 🙂
thanks for sharing your knowledge Sir , Mabuhay po! :-)
It's a pleasure! 👍
thank you for this video as i played the kid vs london and lost the game because i didnt know how to react to it
I like a6, lovely video, fantastic stuff 👍🏽
Thank you, Allan! I appreciate you took the time to provide your feedback. It means a lot 👍
You are really awesome , Sir!❤❤❤ Seriously, nobody can do the elaboration this good.. just saying. Plz keep doing this good deed :). Thanks!!
Thank you for your kind words, Piyush! It's truly rewarding to read comments like yours 👍
I like a6 where I can push e5 - and when I play c5 then I control the b4 square. Of course, I haven't played this in a game yet :)
Yes, I like that one too, Charles! Let me know how it goes when you try it in a game 👍
1. ... g7 avoids the Trompowsky - nice
Thank u I never really understood why bishop e2 was always recommended by the assist tool when I verse a.is who did the kings Indian
29:50. If they play A4 before H3, should you go for E5? Before doing bishop B7.
Great video! I lost to a london today pushing e5 too early. Not anymore
Thank you, Juarés! Let me know how it goes next time 👍
I understand this video.
Make a course on Landon sestam
And please we expect four pawns averbakh symislov set up videos but i usually dont find a middle game plan in When they do simmetrical fianchetto set up
Absolutely! We have to cover all of those little by little 👍
