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
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
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!
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 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.
Hi Igor, why worry about our pawns when we can go for mate! Their K is completely stuck. I see no serious threat from white, so Rg8,g5,h5#. Thanks for a great lesson!
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.
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.
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.
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😤.
@@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!
1. Rc8 If the White Rook Take any of the pawn. 2. Rc1 (White Rook can't capture the now c1 3. Rh1 Mate Only real way for white to defend this is Rc7 and you are still up a rook in this circumstance and it is a winning position for black in an endgame
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 ?
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
@@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 )
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? 😀😀
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.
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????
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
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 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!

I see no serious threat from white, so Rg8,g5,h5#.
Thanks for a great lesson!
For 10:51 I think 1...Rc8 to threaten 2...Rcc1 to threaten mate using the pawn's blockade over h3.
Yes, correct. That's what I was thinking about, too. And that's the correct way.

Thank you for your game to see the move you made and the way to think
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.
Great, free info. Thank you.

f5 to defend the g4 pawn which if you play rc8 then rc1 you can checkmate
3:40 knew it from the beginning

Great explanation of attacking rather than defending, a big problem here
I needed this reminder.
After Qc5+, best move is not KxB but d6 attacking the Queen.
If i had seen this channel earlier i would have been a GM for sure
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 ?
GOOD STUFF IT HELPED ME ALOT THANKS 👍😊
At 17.25 minute can white just go for bishop takes rook then if knight take gueen bishop takes knight
Thank you!
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
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?
1. RC8 2.RXF7 RCC1 3. RF6 KXD5 4.B4+ KE5 5.ND3+ KXF6 6. NXE1 RXE1 7. A3 RA1 8.F3 RXA3 9. KG1 RA2 10. KF1 GXF3 11. GXF3 A5 12. KE1 A4 13. KD1 A3 14. KC1 RB2 15.G4 KG5 16. F4 KXF4 17. G5 HXG5 18.

Rc8/81looks a really hard to stop mate threat.
5:11 That's a family fork, not just a royal fork. 😁🤓
Hanging two pieces is really the same as hanging one piece, so might as well counterattack
Thanks again, Igor.

Best chess teacher!
Would play nd4
I found Ne2 f5, though I was saying f5 moves prior LOL so not all the credit
what a legend
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).
The best defense is a good offense
R-G8 R-G5 R-H5 checkmate
Why the white played Knight D2 at 4:20, obviously a lame move?
I'm not very good, to put it mildly but, rook e7, blocking the rxf7.
No way, I can't believe that was the answer.
Great video!
Ok, 2nd move, I'm thinking Nx d4...
Bc7 Qxc7 exd5 0-0-0 Rxc5 Ne5 Nxd4 Rxc7 Nxe2+ Kh1 Kxc7

Yep. Ain't no perk in the Pirc!

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.
