    I am not exaggerating when I say this an absolutely exceptional channel. Did not expect you to cover London, 4 pawns, Samisch etc. all on your channel. This is the quality of paid content!

    Robert thanks. You were right yesterday.. it will come back.. and I dont know why, but I played on Saturday for a few hours when I was really relaxed and won 11 in a row and got back over 1000 again. I really enjoy your teaching style. One of the things the gets me and need help with in the PIRC or KID is when they get the bishops out on C4 and they plop their Knight down on G5 I have also struggled with getitng forked alot with the knight getting down on the queen side and forking my rook. So that NA6 seems like a good plan. I hate losing my rooks.

    • @NMRobertRamirez
      @NMRobertRamirez  3 роки тому

      Congrats on that, Todd! Like I told you before, you just need to keep training and playing. Regarding what you mentioned about Bc4 and Ng5, that is typically solved by castling. If they still take on f7, you get two minor pieces (knight and bishop) and they get rook and pawn. Two minor pieces are definitely better. The only thing left is bringing your king back to g8 for safety.

    Great and right on time!! I have decided that the first two openings for black I will concentrate on is the Pirc and King's Indian Defense. Plus I am following your great advice to create those studies over at liChess that map out the various lines and such. So this one will have 5 chapters -- one for each white offense. I haven't done the Pirc yet, so maybe I should go back and do that one first. I have heard you pronounce Pirc as "perk" for so long now that I am having a tough time with the correct pronunciation!
    For white I am trying to learn the London system as my first non e4 opening. The London is going OK, but I do get trapped a lot behind my own pieces. But it is still in the very beginning stages.

    • @NMRobertRamirez
      @NMRobertRamirez  3 роки тому +3

      Hello Kevin! It is a great idea to get organized and little by little create your opening repertoire. When I first started, I used to record everything in a notebook. Now it is so much easier and when you have to review it before a tournament, you do not even to take out your Chess board.
      Regarding the pronunciation, tell me about it 😅 Hopefully it does not affect the way you play the Pirc lol
      For the London, just try to review as many games as possible and play it. You can also look into the opening I used at the end of lesson # 84: The Cole-Zukertort. It is a system and it could be played aggressively or strategically. If you do look into it, let me know what you think 👍

    Man, I love this content. Easy to understand and digest. You have a great way of explaining the ideas in these positions that are reached out of the opening. It makes a huge difference in games if you're able to recognize when opponent is making poor moves and how to capitalize on them. Very instructive and well put together. I absolutely have gone over many of these in great depth and compare them to my literature and everything is very accurate. My favorite tip right now is the Na6 maneuver. Really professional advice for free because that's a professional move. Thanks again.

    U know Robert I've learned a lot of ur teaching like Pirc defense since im using it i got 85% winning rate and most of my losses due to out of time not for mating me. Now I have new ideas of king's Indian defense.....but almost similar position to Pirc. I keep watching ur videos.... thanks.....

    Hi Robert. This whole series has been a tremendous help for me. I have played the London as white and the Czech Pirc as black in the past with some success but I always kept switching between openings and getting a bit confused. This Kings Indian defence/attack is now the icing on the cake. When my club re opens and I return to playing matches this whole series will give me everything I need to boost my rating and be an all round better player. I’m now going to stick to the Kings Indian/Pirc set up for black and white. Have you begun any tournament matches with 1d3 as white? Nice to see you’re adding more KID videos. Thankyou so much.

      Hello Phillip! It's great to know you have been finding these lessons useful. Thank for letting me know 👍 Regarding you question, I do not think I have ever started a serious game with 1.d3, but I can easily do it and then transpose into the KIA or even English. It's just that when I want to play such systems as white, I typically start with 1. Nf3 or 1.g3. Truth is you can do it just to try to confuse your opponent 😎

      Ya i think because... Then.. It can't take back cause of pined pawn.... Then we.... Take pawn with Bishop..... They take bishop by knight... Then we take by queen check mate... Haina?? Sahi hai ki nhi bro

    The best class on chess on UA-cam. Re watch your videos often and sometimes taking notes. I’m winning way more chess now that I have confidence to play people instead of computer. I realize I was learning openings but not the plans which opened my mind. I even catch myself asking myself during games “what are his plans…”. If I had one suggestion/requests is how do you deal with early aggressive Queen play. Sometimes in situations where I’ve locked it as you have it doesn’t matter the Queen is out of play but if I don’t lock up the board she eats up a good amount of material.

    • @NMRobertRamirez
      @NMRobertRamirez  3 роки тому +1

      Hello! It's greta to see your game is evolving 💪 Regarding the queen issue, it will be solved as you continue to improve your board vision. If you train consistently, your will get to a point where you immediately detect any threats the queen presents. In the interim, remember to look at what the queen is attacking. For the most part, it has to do with one-move threats, which are easy to take care of. Hope this makes sense 😎
