If you play the Pirc defense as Black, then I am sure you have had to face the Byrne variation. By the end of this lesson, you will know exactly what to do at all times and you will be looking forward to your next game against this variation. I had waited so long to cover the Byrne variation because I needed you guys to get to explore and experiment with the different ideas of the Pirc we have learned so far in other lessons. But now it is time to add another tool to our Pirc repertoire!

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.

Robert, excellent lessons! I've never been a Pirc player, but your lessons are tempting me to add it to my repertoire. I look forward to trying it out. It seems like a very logical opening.
I appreciate it that you sharpen our Pirc skills. I never skip a new lesson.
Absolutely Doug! Thank you for taking the time to comment and provide your feedback 👍
I was struggling with some variations of Pirz Defence, so I lose my rating from 1800 to 1600 in one week, but thanks to your lessons I start go back and now I am 1750)
💪😎
@@mightymeatmonsta If you know theory, Pirz can easily transport you to draw endgame. And draw for black is very good for me, because statistically I win with white in 58% of my winning games. Sorry for my english, it's not very good
Actually, i find your enunciation and pronunciation of many of your words to be clear and concise.!😃 it aids in making your lessons easy to understand and follow! Thanks!
these lessons are high recommended, I like the pirc defense coz it's not too complicated and it playes a semi-centered setup
im learning how to play the pirc from your tutorial here, very effective! thank you very much sir Robert for sharing!!!
Niiiice. I've been looking forward to this!
Hope you like it! It is a long a tedious lesson full of information, but it needed to be done 😎
@@NMRobertRamirez Yeah I've watched it once and definitely have to revisit it a couple of times. It's insane that all your great lessons are entirely for free!
Your provided us with basically a whole repertoire for how to combat both 1.e4 and 1.d4 by White.
Have you ever thought about opening a Patreon account or something similar so people could donate money to you if they feel inclined to do so?
I know that I would like to give something back for all this amazing chess content.
@@uefets absolutely. This is one of those lessons where you will learn something new every time you revisit it as you get more experience with it.

Really nice NM Robert. I play the Pirc, (was 1890 USCF in the early 80's, didn't play for thirty-five years, now down to 1700 but rising again in my relative old age). I retreat the knight to d7 in the e5 variation.
Excellent! Thanks a lot for sharing your preference 👍🙌
Hello NM Robert! I have been a student of yours for a few years and have watched most of your videos on KID, Pirc, KIA, Reti. What I like most about making the decision I made a few years back to play those openings exclusively, is what I can tell my opponent -
"Doesn't matter what opening you want to play, you are playing my favorite opening, I am not playing yours!"
Decades of being ambushed in the Sicilian, getting into an unwanted transposition
from the Sicilian to the French, or vice versa, sucked into a blackhole
of an unfamiliar gambit line, I was playing at 1600-1700 for over 30 years. Now I play at 1900-2000+. Thanks for your instruction.
As far as the Byrne Variation, I don't like that move 4. Bg4 Everytime my opponent plays that I play 4...h6. I like the fianchettoed Bishop and many players of the white pieces want to move Qd2 and Bh6 forcing an exchange of bishops. Many players will play Bxf6. I like that.
knight taking back😀
Bro if you were in India who would have crossed 1 million very easily I am a noob I started playing this game a month back I tried out many channels from Gotham chess to watching streamers play chess undoubtedly. You are best I really felt bad when I saw the number of subscribers you have always remember you are a gem never feel demotivated and keep up the hard work love from India ❤️
Thank you, Prabhav, for the kind words. It is truly rewarding to read comments like yours. More than the subscribers and recognition, it is great to know people like you are benefiting from these lessons. Anything else is extra 😎
Outstanding video - I just discovered you and will watch all of them. You're probably the best chess teacher I've listened to because you're very thorough and put yourself into the learner's shoes. Great!
Thanks a lot for your kind feedback! Let me know if you ever have any questions 👍😎
As a black player and you want to play for a win against a strong player what opening would yoi use against 1.e4 and 1.d4?
I agree with you this young man is the best teacher I've seen also!!!
@@NMRobertRamirez Outstanding video, as always. Here’s what I don’t understand. In the 150 attack video, you said it’s best not to even castle king-side, or to delay it, and to start your own queen side attack using c6 as a leverage pawn, anticipating an opposite-side castling attack race. That was the plan when white’s dark-square bishop goes to e3. Isn’t it the same consideration though when the dark-square bishop comes to g5 (Byrne)? Isn’t the idea still for the white queen to get on that same diagonal and go remove your fianchettoed bishop (like in the 150)? Why is black’s plan now different? Like, why do we here (in Byrne) fianchetto that bishop? If white goes to remove it with the queen-bishop battery, haven’t we just wasted a move fianchettoing that bishop?
I'm starting to teach my 5-year-old daughter to play chess by watching your videos with her. Thanks for putting these awesome guides from beginners to advance lesson.
I’ve been teaching my son as well (starting at 6, he just turned 7), primarily going through Robert’s course! My son is a bit of a prodigy and loves Robert and GothamChess. Robert, I’d love to thank you. Where are you based? Do you ever come to L.A.?
#suggestion Robert when you start on the Sicilian I'd love if you could break down the Hyper Accelerated Dragon because it's one of my main defences. I sometimes get in trouble so I must be doing something wrong. Also, I like both of the Pirc options in this vid - but probably prefer bringing the knight back to d7. Lovin your vids mate.
Thank you so much for your feedback. It helps a lot! Most people prefer the Nfd7 variation, but it is always good to have the other one in case we need to surprise someone who knows us well. Besides, we learn more Chess in general by using both.
Regarding the Sicilian, we will certainly go over the Accelerated Dragon, but I like to teach the Sicilian in a specific order so that it is easier to digest. We will eventually cover most of the variations, but it will take a while. It is bad because it might take longer to get to the variation you play, but you might also like another variation. Plus, learning the Sicilian step by step might help you identify if you are doing something wrong with the Accelerated Dragon. Hope this makes sense and by the way, thank you for supporting the channel! 🙌
Love the lessons.Keep them coming .
Thank you, Vipin! 💪
I like the Perc defence because I like to ROCK! 😅
Amazing lesson, thank you! I prefer moving Night back
Could've been shorter minus the chit chat
I like the pawn takes and trade queen variation as its simplify the game down the road. However, I like to know both variations as it expands my chess knowledge.
There you go! That's how it should be 💪 Plus, it could come handy if you ever need to surprise someone who knows you well.
8:30 I came back specifically for this 😊 thanks
Going to town with your lessons! I love the Pirc , KID and KIA... and looking forward to the Sicilian as you hinted to in this video. Such a great way to learn and gain confidence to keep playing these openings. Some stability and consistency has helped me a lot. Before I was exploring a new opening every week and not recognizing the advantage of finding openings for white and black to compliment eachother nearly as well as what you are providing in your lessons. Brilliant !!
Thank you for sharing this. It is always great to know these lessons are being helpful! And yes, soon we will be incorporating the legendary Sicilian to our repertoire 👍
I like the first variation where we capture the pawn, just because it gives my opponents false hope they are winning. But in a serious game, I probably will play the Nd7 variation
Smart boy! 😊
For Me the other way.. Nd7, more 'like activating a sleeping lion' kinda move! 😊😊😊❤
Thanks so much for these lessons. I started playing the pirc over the last 2 months and my rating is slowly climbing and Ive noticed that I now seem to get out of the opening a lot cleaner with no major blunders.
You are more than welcome, Malcolm! Let me know if you ever have any questions 👍😎
Nd7 is my preferred choice Rob.Your showing us both continuations is Rich, and in your style as an Outstanding Host. Thorough as usual, your basing your future course info on commentary feedback is something I see nowhere else. "Complements to the Host," :)
The Notes availability is yet anther example of your PRO Y.T. Hosting. I'm Blown Away!! Major Thanks, ... Mike.
Thank you for all your nice complements, Mike! Comments like yours make it all with it 👍 By the way, I appreciate you letting me know what move you prefer 🙌
Love the pawn takes pawn line
👏 you are the first one to say that, Thomas! Thanks a lot for your feedback. I like it too by the way!
Nd7 is my fabourite
Thank you, was facing this problem. Also, I remember you saying that you were pronouncing "pirc" wrong in the previous videos and now you have changed your pronunciation which means this is the correct pronunciation.
Thank you as always for your efforts :)
You are welcome! Nice to see this lesson came handy. And yes, this pronunciation is better, but I don't think it is 100 % correct. Although no-one has said anything else 😅 Nah seriously, thank you for your comment and it's great to see you are keeping up with Chess journey 👏
@@NMRobertRamirez Vasja Pirc was Slovenan (Yugoslav) GM. Played before era of Svetozar Gligoric. You can see here how to pronaunce Pirc in Slovenian forvo.com/word/pirc/ and about GM Pirc you can find info here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasja_Pirc

I love how you always do quite a few recaps of what you’ve just covered in the lesson, helps so much to follow!
That's great to know, Stephen. I keep doing it mainly because of comments like yours, so thank you for your feedback 👍
Very helpful
I’ll just add another vote here. Your style of teaching, including the recaps and repetition, is perfect for me as an intermediate (1400) player.
(Now 1500) :)
@@andrewucla nice
I prefer Nfd7 because i think it's more comfortable playing with the queen and the king can castle. But after you said it is okay to trade queen early in this variation, i feel more comfortable too 😅 but i don't know if it's okay to leave the king uncastled in another cases. I'm gonna think twice i guess, or you can give more examples like this. Thank you so much
Hey Robert! Good to see you are continuing the pirc series.I am still playing pirc and czech pirc against d4. In just three months, I am 1390 rated. Thank you.
That has definitely been a nice ride! You can smell the 1400s 😅 Hope you are documenting your journey because you have to be doing something right 👏

Enjoyed your presentation very much. In response to your question as to which of the two variations I prefer and would like to see more of - well, both is my answer, I want to know absolutely everything about the Pirc. Love it!
That's the way to go! We never know when we need to surprise an opponent who knows us well. Besides, the more we learn the better 💪
Best channel. Best teacher. Straight to the point. Explains all the possibilities. Very well done ✅✅
Hi teacher ! how can we get the pgn ?
😇
I follow your advice bro.
As a beginner to stick with King Indian Defense and Attack plus Pirc until I reach 2000.
I keep watching those videos many times
Now I am in 1870 for Classic in Lichess.
Hopefully I can reach 2000 soon.
Thank You bro
So I just found your channel and I've only seen a few lessons so far, but I love playing the Pirc as black. This is a line that's given me a lot of trouble.
What I like is that you take the time to explain moves that aren't the best moves. At my level I see a LOT of people that make mistakes, but I only find out that it was a mistake after the game. It may seem like you're getting off track, but for casual players like me it's extremely helpful because it shows us the mistakes and we know how to exploit them.
As for my variation my instinct says that I like shifting my knight because it gives me more attacking options in the middle game, but I've played around a bit with the bong cloud as a goof and non-castling versions of the london, and if you've removed the queens it's really not scary. I'll give it a try next time I get the chance.
Also, there's a black variation of the Chech Pirc that doesn't castle and attacks the king side aggressively, but the only video I've found is pretty old and I found it tough to set up because the theory has changed a bit. You're Pirc lesson sets it up perfectly though, so now I have another Pirc variation I can play in situations where my opponent castles early.
Excellent! It means a lot to know you are finding value in these lessons. It is true that some people don't like me going off track, but I would rather have some annoyed players than full-of-doubts ones. Thanks a lot for your feedback and feel free to ask me any questions you might have 👍
How can you find the time to develop these lessons! You are a natural teacher/leader, I tell everyone I know about this HUGE resource of chess knowledge
Thank you! I really appreciate your kind feedback 👍🙌
Omg so much extra talking at the beginning! Ffs
Hello! Probably this channel is just not for you. I'm sure you can find better material anywhere on the internet 👍
Loved this lesson. Currently in a correspondence/daily game where they are trying the Byrne and this is a very valuable reference to play my best.
I think I prefer the variation of moving the night Ne2, if you're still looking for feedback.
I got recommended your first lesson on the Pirc defense and it has helped me greatly improve. keep up the good work!
hey how can I access the variation list you are using in the video?
Hello! Just provide your lichess username 👍😎
@@NMRobertRamirez it is marcoaurelio007
I just love all the openings great job sir
Hello Robert Sir... I sincerely fallowed all of your lessons... My lichess rating was around 1000 before... Within 10 days i was able defeat around 2000 rated player's in the Tournament... Your lessons are exceptional... ! Btw I've improved too fast😄?
Congratulations! You are improving fast indeed! You must be doing something right 💪😎 Thanks a lot for letting me now by the way. It means a lot! 👍
I'm trying to play this defense now in a game against my brother and I think I prefer the knight variation. The other may be very powerful but it is master level and we're amateurs (amateurs who suckled chess from our dad, who was a local 1st category champion in his youth but amateurs anyhow). I count in my bro's aggresive errors to win rather than in perfect mastery of mid-term exquisite calculations.
But good lesson anyhow.
I like Kd3 to f2 :) great content. I have improved mu rating by 200 points thanks to your content 👍
...Nfd7 is without question my preferred variation. It allows the King to castle, keeps the pawn structure balanced, and as you say it's more suitable for playing to win. The alternative with ...dxe5 and ...Ng4 seems positionally jumbled to say the least. Thanks as always for your great instruction and keep on truckin.' Cheers!
Thanks for all your notes!!!! lol
I am working in new Variations that they played me. Never knew it is called Byrne. Thank you, Robert!
Players like Carlsen and Grischuk play the Byrne variation with success against other GMs. I wouldn't call it "not effective." I'd say its a pretty dangerous reply to the Pirc.
Anyway, nice analysis. Thanks!
what is the main differences between fianchettoing your bishop and not doing it in the Pirc? Does this change your game plan?
In the 5. e5 variation, according to engine there actually is a fvalid line that starts with 8. OOO, and just pounds an attack on King before N can execute the fork.
That's 8. 000+. Sounds like it would be fun to study.
Hello Robert, thanks for this very important lesson. I always play the pirc and a lot of times meet the byrne variation. I prefer the Nd7 after e5. The other variation when d6xe5, I feel can get me into trouble if I do a wrong move. Nd7 is more familiar and seems to me more safe. Of course this is my opinion...
Hello! That makes perfect sense 👍 Thanks a lot for your feedback 🙌
I prefer the pawn takes pawn variation. When it comes to video ideas about 1..,d6. I feel like I am just doing a standard less effective Pirc after 1.d4. Maybe you could make (or there already is) a video about the variation?
Coach everything you teach is helping me. Also when you play online.thank you for sharing.
I like the idea of playing c6 in response to qd7 or f4, and with bg4 to nf6
Excellent! Thanks a lot for sharing your feedback. Hope you get to use this line soon 👍😎
Hi Robert, thanks for the lesson, useful as always:) As you mentioned, we may get the notes from your video, may I know where we can get them? I may be missing something but I could not find it in the description. Thanks again!
Instead of 10 B-c4, 10 B-b5 means black must suffer three more isolated pawns, or have no square from which to bring out the knight.
Very good. However if you cut down the “I’m gonna tell you” and “I’m gonna show you”, the video could be 15 min shorter
talks so much and plays so less
Ahh you must be another fast learner 😎 I know exactly what you mean. Trust me, I would rather get to the point and finish the lesson in 10 minutes, but then many people would have doubts by the end. For every comment like yours, I get 10 saying how much they appreciate the repetition.
Lesson 96 moving the knight back feels less uncomfortable vs taking the pawn
i went back and viewed the games, some blunders on easy moves missed. But I still am losing 75% of the games. So what should I do to correct this. I is maddening. To say the least. How do I get you to view one of my games. Correct what I am miss quing on
You Pirc lesson is truly good 👍 but you explain the other variations as well 🤔 which elongates the video ... if you keep upto the point of the lesson and make it more direct , would be even more useful.
Any good books for Pirc, King indian defense and King indian attack that you would like to recommend. Thank you.
Damn, those variations are both very interesting. Even if the second option can make me more familiar with the austrian attack, a variation that i haven’t studied yet, i think that i prefer the first one as a 1600 elo player, because by one hand is potentially full of mortal traps for opponents around my level, and by the other hand it brings me closer to the endgame, that is the chess part where i’m stronger
Third or fourth time watching this video and creating my own Lichess study. Hard work this line!🥵
TY Robert very much for your hard and dedicated work on educating internet community. This Byrn var is very popular among white players. I face it all the time... this video helps a lot... thx again...
It's a pleasure, Mile! Especially after comments like yours 😎 I know this lesson could be a little overwhelming, but I hope it helps you. Let me know how it goes next time you face the Byrne 👍
Since you asked, I prefer the variation that does not involve the queen trade, which might not be a disadvantage in the hands of a master but may place mere mortals at risk, especially against aggressive opponents. I'd take the white pieces against this position against a similarly rated player as this to me seems more prone to mistakes on the black side :)
I just want to show my gratitude to my chief Robert. I had just reviewed this lesson on the bryne variation and i got a game where my opponent had no idea what they were doing they just wanted to be aggressive and attack. i got 98% accuracy in that game
I like knight f to d7
Also I would like your advice on middle game strategies when using the pirc defense especially when the center is not locked?
The two main idea i know is when the center is locked you attacked the pawn that is in front of your most advance pawn. Also when the center is not locked you expand on the queen side.
Good video but there is a lot of repetition like "there are two variations I will tell you which one I play and when. You don't need to play both" etc. If you can trim it down it would be helpful. Thanks.
Love your videos, bringing the knight back is preffered for me
I like the pawn takes pawn variation - great lesson overall! I love your videos on the Pirc!
Thank you. I like the Nf3d2 :)
Perfect! Thank you for your feedback 🙌
where can we find the corresponding pgn please? By the way, very very nice lesson, you made me love the Pirc
Thanks a lot, very useful, I like Nd7, but it depends..
Thanks this is common and annoying variation
I know! Here it is as promised 💪😎
prefer pawn takes pawn simplyfies it, not quite as technical as movie kight
excelente robert muchas gracias por los videos
Struggling with the pirc and kings indian. Too much information. But worth it.
I Will never play d6, because there is No answer if the opponent play d5.
Sir my opponent plays Bf4 idk what to do against it I hope you clear my confusion
I was not comfortable with Bg5 and it was too boring to read theory notation but now no problems, thanks for explanation.
@4:10 if dxe5 dxe5, say white does fxe5 how should black reply coach?
I like the variation where you move the knight back and save the queens. I don't want a chance for a draw.
I have missed all your lessons unfortunately pse I need your help chess is my job now as I am in my 70th
Hey Robert! Like that ...Nd7 variation. 👍
This vídeos are really good.. thankyou
Like all. Great stuff. Hipe i renember all...🤣🤣🤣
Robert, I'd appreciate you remaking this lesson with more organization, focus , and far less chatter and rambling. THANKS😇
Hello Andrew! I'll leave that to you 🤓👍
You spent more time talking about what you would show us than actually showing it. Not easy to watch.
when i am playing in black i play pric
but many unrated players dont know how to reply they play like e4 nf3 d3
now i what to do please tell
After e5, Nfd7 seems more consistent with what we learned in the Austrian attack lesson
Kd2 because I would prefer to not exchange queens so early.
Actually more talking less instructions..
I have a 45% win with the pirc defense I would like to improve on that number
What to play against d5 after Bg7... We can't do e5 or c5 now and that's really 😫
Annoying... C6 to challenge the overextend pawn and then taking then we do e5 is my idea too slow?
And my d pawn is weak now 😖😖😖
Hello! d5 is certainly a bad move for White. In that case, we should play c6 like you said, but the e-pawn remains on e7. Your g7-bihsop is really powerful now because the a1-h8 diagonal is open and white's dark-squared bishop is not on the queenside. So, try to expand on the queenside with a6-b5 and bring your queen along with other pieces.
guardando le tue lezioni forse non imparero' a giocare ma inizio a capire gli scacchi. Ho sempre giocato la variante 5....dxe5; 6....Cg4 con buoni risultati. Ad un certo punto ho paura a spostare il Re in d8 perche' lascio indifeso il pedone in c7 e ho paura di Cavallo in b5 che attacca c7 e minaccia il doppio. Provero' a giocare anche la variante 5....Cd7. Complimenti anche per la didattica.
💪🙌😎
Have you considered getting a new microphone? No hate here, it's just that sometimes I flinch listening to your k's or your s's, ch's etc... I think a better microphone may fix that
Thank you for the feedback 👍 I have tried so many microphones and thought I had gotten the right one. It might as well be me. Anyways, I will look into it right away. Again, thank you for letting me know because otherwise I would never know. Highly appreciated 🙌
