Thx for the suggestion. I picked up the queen's indian defence against 1.d4 and want to add the double fianchetto to my repertoire. Any suggestions against the white d5-plan? I feel like this is critical as it fights for the central light squares by blocking out the black bishop on b7. For ex. 1.d4 Nf6, 2.Nf3 b6, 3.c4 Bb7, 4.g3 g6, 5.Bg2 Bg7, 6.0-0 0-0, 7.d5!?...

Excelente video, muchas gracias!

@25:38 shachigically. jks😂

Great video thanks

content is good presentation of content is awful

6:18 what if white first Hxe6+ we fxe6, Bxd8 Kxd8, cxd3 ? black -1 pawn

thumbnail is insane

Great ❤

Great stuff. Loving the content. Thanks!

White can also castle queenside, or even remain uncastled, and start an all out pawn push on the kingside. Perhaps not the most sound way to play but quite intimidating at my level as black ends up with very little room to maneuver.

Stockfish. 1.e4 e5 2. d4 exd4 3. Qxd4 Nc6 4. Qe3 Bb4+ 5. Bd2 Nf6 6. Nc3 O-O 7. O-O-O Re8 8. f3 d5 9. . Qf2 d4 10. Nb5 Bc5 Oh, white has does quite well in these lines in the Lichess master database. On the other hand, the video is right about pushing back early against the Center Game. If black fails to react, white can quickly take over the direction of the game. As for "refuted" that seems a bit much frankly. Oh, a FIDE candidate master by the name Arne Moll has a new book on the Center Game coming out on November 1st, 2024. Guess no one passed him the memo that the Center Game was refuted. Meanwhile, I guess it is better for everyone to think it is a trash opening.

Well explained!

You do a great job of explaining the why instead of just saying play this line. Thank you

This is an excellent breakdown thank you. I have a course on e6 b6 defense but it’s really helpful to have a quick summation of the big ideas against e4

I do really like your videos and helped me a lot but for some reason always waiting for you to finish a cocain deal with such voice.

thank you, this is perfect, i play the hippo exclusively and you cleared up some conceptual ideas i had with your great explanation.

Very inspiring for me, because my plan is to play this variation in the next season.

i'm playing pirce, and i thing to 5. c5 is better than 0-0, more agressive and better attack

Good video...thank you,

If you don’t mind me asking what is your rating

Excellent video! A lot of great concepts explained

Jobava players dont play knight f3,its pawn f3,so this set up without kf3 is a crap....

Very inspiring video. Thanks for your time and efforts. Much appreciated.

Very interesting. I play the Pirc often by default, which means I open with the Modern defense & if given a chance transpose into the Hippo defense, but most of my opponents play the Austrian attack vs the Modern Defense & so I transpose into the Pirc, as the Pirc does fairly well vs the Austrian attack. If my opponent does a Be3/Qd2 set up instead of the Austrian attack I transpose into a hybrid of the Pirc with c6/b5 or a6/b5 & put off castling until it’s clear if the king or Queenside is safer. I love the Pirc’s flexibility & fighting spirit. Love your content; please make more Pirc videos!

Great explanations, love the pirc defence - you should make more!

The whole forced line starting with ...Qb6 is truly remarkable. BTW, RIP Yuri Averbakh, 8 February 1922 - 7 May 2022.

I searched for this opening, cuz i played it by mistake, and yup, now it's one of my favorites, thanks for lesson!

What about the Saemich variation against the Pirc?

Great explanation, indeed. However, would you explain how you would play against an early Qd3 development by white instead of the main line Bd3? Developing the Queen instead of the light bishop ruins the black strategy with Pirc unless I'm missing something. That's why I ask what would you recommend against this variation?

one of my favorite openings.

Très intéressant ! La liste des coups en description de la vidéo serait un gros + !...

17:09. After black plays ..f5, Ng4 looks strong for white, threatening Ne6 with advantage. What does black do about that?

Can u make a video with more depth on kings indian / pirc vs jobavo and some model games too

I'm currently in an online chess competition and I tried your N.a6 line against a much higher rated opponent. It worked perfectly just as you said and I won the game. Happy to share the PGN if anyone is intetested.

Hello and thank you! I started playing against the Austrian Attack about a month ago and was looking for a sharp alternative for black to 6...Nc6. Out of interest, are there any Chess course productions of you outside YT? You have a very soothing voice and I think you have a good educational style of presenting chess.

I found this channel recently and i love it! The channel name is very unique, and the whole layout of the videos are just great! However I do think the titles could be made a bit better to push these videos in the algorithm, gaining more views. You definitely should come back to youtube!

Dude, MORE CONTENT PLEASE

Great tutorial! I understood everything.

Very helpful explanations.

Yes- great explanations as others have said, you don't just show the main lines but you show the typical maneuvers and resources. One new subscriber. Thankyou!

I play the st George exclusively against e4 and let me tell you it crushes.

I wish I could communicate with you, it would be fun. I made those comments on the Torre Attack that you liked.

Nice touch adding Col. Hans Landa on the thumbnail
