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.

No amount of thanks is enough man. Thanks for making these free videos for people who can't afford expensive courses like myself
why has this channel not blown up yet ?
No FaceCam. Take for example Gothamchess, Hikaru, Botez sisters, Agadmator and Eric Rosen.
@@Silver_Sage663 actually gothamchess and the other is about making content. Not only chess course
Finally it blown out
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!
I play Caro against e4 and know a lot of theory, but was always more shaky with my kings Indian theory so I will watch this and the rest of your videos diligently. Instant sub!
Thanks a lot for your kind words, Michael Angelo! Let me know if you ever have any questions 👍😎
Thank you for sharing your knowledge in
Chess ,the great games played by the
Masters I am trying to learn from you and need your help.
What’s a Passant Pawn?
Thank you for having this channel
Bans 🇨🇦
@@harbanlutchman6563 a passed pawn is a pawn with no opposing pawns to prevent it from advancing to the eighth rank
@@Jens-hy7dm Thanks a lot,appreciated
H.L
@@harbanlutchman6563 I think it's not necessary that the passed pawn has to move to 8th rank. Please check again.
Perfect amount of information, well delivered. Brilliant teacher. I love the way he resets the board. Please go over all the variations !! Chess has never been as exciting as it is today!!! 💥💪🏼👍🏼👏
Thank you, Mark! After reading comments like yours, we definitely have to go over all the other variations 😎💪
Yep, pls NM Ramirez: show us all the variations!
Many thanks in advance!
@@spartanthe300ththermopylae4 you are welcome! We have already covered almost all of the variations. Feel free to check out the other lessons on the KID or you might even look at the whole playlist from my channel. Also, let me know if you ever have any questions 👍
WELL DELIVERED? DID WE WATCH THE SAME VIDEO IT WAS HORRIBLE
@@nomadtom2420 Lol, I think you're the only one who complains xD But I don't know how the Video is yet, I must watch it first to have an own View to this Video
I have been playing it for a while - but this educational approach is absolutely amazing...
This instructor holds my attention and gets me motivated to learn. Thank You forever Robert....
You are more than welcome! Thanks a lot for your feedback by the way. It is truly rewarding to read comments like yours 👍🙌
I really appreciate the amount work you put into your channel. I am a self-taught player (1600-1700 blitz) who hasn't played in years. These are the most awesome refresher courses. Thank you so much 🙏
I really appreciate that you explain the intention behind every opening move it highlights the importance of not just copying whatever order someone says
You are such an amazing teacher, thank you.
You are more than welcome! Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback 👍
Please give us more kings Indian. I know it's one of the more studied with tons of theory but it's my favorite opening. You are the best online teacher!!! You and Maurice Bishop explain the moves perfectly! Thank you
I love the way you teach specially the restart from the beginning position to let the ideas really sink in to us. Thanks again!
This was extremely helpful. And your willingness to take your time and repeat the material is a refreshing novelty that I haven't found with other instructional videos. Most instructors seem to be more interested in proving that they know the material, not in actually sharing it with their audience.
Thanks a lot lot for your kind feedback, Mark! 👍😎
I've been looking for a long time for an opening to fight d4 and I finally found it. This mini course is fantastic. I think KID is the best solution against d4 actually anything it can be played against.
I’m fairly new at learning openings as I just got into chess a few months ago. This video was extremely helpful since I not only learned a great opening but got a better understanding of opening principles. Thank you so much
Great job. I’ve been trying the Kings Indian and was constantly confused. This is the first video where the theory was actually explained
I am a new player and the way you tought this opening was very motivating to follow. You covered a lot of stuff that I won't get right away obviously, but because of the constant repition I felt more confident in the opening than I could have imagined from a simple youtube video. Your video helped me a lot to learn and have fun with the King´s Indian!
yes! thank you! i would also like to express great interest in more KID variation videos!
Yo are welcome! And yes, more KID content is on the way 😎
Great starter video for the KID! simple and clear plans/ideas to follow
Priceless presentation! Thank you!
Fantastic lesson, Robert! I will be learning it little by little. I've been playing it a bit without knowing almost anything, and seeing games so exciting and accurate is very inspiring. I already want to study to be able to play better. Thanks so much again :')
Dude this is literally as good as it gets for a chess lesson. Easy to understand but also analyses in depth all these lines. Big props to you my friend! Keep up the good work!
Thank you! I really appreciate your kind words 👍😎
I've been watching a lot of chess videos during the pandemic. I can't believe I just discovered you. This video is the first one of yours I've watched, but it has instantly become one of my favourite chess videos. Thank you for making it. You are a great teacher.
This is the best channel for chess learners, period. No drama, no know-it-all or condescending attitude, just sincere teaching to help us learn.
I'm learning so much on your channel. Thanks for everything.
Awesome stuff man, great job, thanks for the channel!
This video helped me understand a lot more about this opening. Great video!
Following this course from its first video, learnt a lot from you. Thank you for giving such valuable information for free
I really like how you use great famous games to show a strategy. Thanks a lot!
This is an in incredible lesson and the lichess part is great! Can’t wait to see the other variations.
You got it, Joel! Glad you found value in it. Thank you for your feedback 👍
As always, awesome lesson, thank you!
Really incredible video! This is extremely helpful, thank you.
Just find you, this is gold. Thank's. Suscribed
Amazing video! I love that you repeat the moves a lot!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
I am baffled by your amazing teaching style. Sure you could show the same sequences in 10 minutes also like others do. But with your video you are enforcing the key moves multiple times which really helped me follow the key ideas. Thank you. With other channels its sometimes just like reading notation, only showing all moves and variations without explaining too much. instant subscribe and looking forward to binge watching your older videos
Hello Jeffrey! Welcome aboard and thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate your feedback 👍
Yeah I subscribed. I get way more out of his videos. Great teacher
@@dino.6007I subscribed too. Life-support chess workshop!
I always take snap shots of certain moves you make and try to visualize it later on. I grew on my bullet and daily games a lot, thanks
No apologies needed for repeating steps from the beginning. That's exactly what I need. Thank you
You are a great coach. please do not stop what you are doing for the community. 💙
Brilliant lesson, clear and simple enough for us noobs while detailed enough to give you a real grasp of the plans for the KID.
Great video on the KID, I used to think it was a very passive opening but now I know it can be aggressive as well 😁
thank you for all your effort.
Rewatched this like 10 times I love your videos and they really help me. I try to refresh my memory every week on these. Great Teacher!!
Thank you! Knowing that these lessons are helping you is the best reward. Thanks a lot for sharing your feedback! 👍
Bro is carrying the opening tutorial game at this point. Keep up creating this content my guy
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.
That's great to hear, Brett! Thanks a lot for your kind feedback 👍
Awesome course! I wanted to learn to play the KID and this is extremely good!
Im saving this playlist and ill keep coming back here so i can have a tremendous amount of advantages when i join tournaments or play games. Thanks for teaching us😊
Salute to you.very informative
Hands down
The best explanation of this opening
🙏
I literally spent dozens of hours going down the rabbit hole/studying the King's Indian Defense, with multiple so-called esteemed sources, only to end in a mass of confusion and headaches. This video with it's BRILLIANT clarity brought me out of that hell!
Thank you for the king's indian playlist man...I m an adult chess learner .... Today I played a game on lichess with 2 inaccuracies 1 mistake 0 blunder and an average centipawn loss of 13 only...thank u very much...
Congratulations Avik! 🎉 It's my pleasure to help you guys in any way I can. Especially after reading comments like yours 👍
Thank you very much. I learned a lot.
Great video, thank you!
13:44 I like how Bishop on e3 becomes Pawn on f2 in this variation. Definitely should be win for black!
Nice tutorial very comprehensive. God bless you.
I just finished a tournament game, my first victory!!
It was not a KID but I applied some of the ideas to attack on the king side, I could even hear your "be energetic" in my head, lol. Thanks so much!!
Thanks Robert, great lesson!
Thank you! You are the best!
Need more of it!!!
Mr. Ramirez, I took so much from this video. I'm grateful you created it. Keep up the good work.

Great video and i am loving the mid/late ideas you are explaning
Thank you!
This was clear and helpful. Thank you.
You are welcome, Chris! Glad you liked it. Hope you have fun with this legendary opening 👍
Thanks, I am working the pirc, learning some of the subtle, I started the king’s Indian today, it will take work
Let me put it in this way: it was so clear, that even I understood it 🙂 By the way, the idea of repeating the opening moves is very smart and necessary for many of us. Thank you so much!
You are more than welcome 👍😎
You made it look really easy, an opening that is not so easy to master. Great lesson. Definitely gonna study this Na6 variation in some depth.
Glad to see you feel this way, Devendra! Let me know if you ever have any questions 👍
I’m a 1700 Fide player, just for reference. I find your style of making videos extremely useful and entertaining. I decided to adopt both Pirc and Kid against e4 and d4 with very nice results. Also, more important i really enjoy playing those lines which bring to creative and complex middlegames.
So, you earned a subscriber, keep it up :)
Hello Gabriele! Thank you for taking the time to provide such a nice feedback. I am sure these openings will help you reach 2000 soon. Just keep training consistently and your rating will follow your strength. Feel free to ask me any questions you might have as you go through the lessons 👍
This was excellent. Thank you!
You are more than welcome, Fred! 👍
Thank you so much sir ..❤️😄
Amazing video! Thank you so much for this, looking to try a more aggressive repertoire so this should fit nicely :)
You are welcome! Thank you for your feedback. It means a lot 👍 Let me know if you have any questions as you go through the other lessons.
