Hello students! Playing against the Samisch could be a nightmare for a lot of King’s Indian Defense players. However, in this lesson you will learn two ways to deal with it. One of them, I call it my secret weapon because I use it more as a surprise factor. The other line is pretty similar to the way we play against the 150 attack (lesson # 70). I hope you like them both or at least one.

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.

All the DVD's and theory; he can explain it better in a 10 minute video;incredible teaching talent!
These are two of the most diffusive ideas to outrightly refute the Sämisch Attack. Wonderful weapon. Thanks Rob for the free Lesson🥰
Fantastic, as always Robert! Yes, I love the Nf6 to d7 best; very disruptive for white and a non-typical side line that will likely burn a lot of the opponents' clock time trying to figure out what's going on. I'm a 1900ish hardened Dragon player and this Nf6>d7 line immediately appeals to me: opens potential tactics and gets black active before white has had a chance to develop. Your format is great; maybe a combination but your exceptional teaching ability isn't something for us "students" to critique...honestly. I think we're all just happy to be listening and learning from you, regardless.
I like the one where 'retaining' the bad bishop of white is black's main objective. Makes grand positional sense! So instructive! Thank you so much for the 'secret'!
You are more than welcome, Anthony! 👍💪
Ok man, your subs count deserves to be 100x the current level. Until then, you’re our best kept secret!
Thank you! 😎
He will get to it ! :)
@@C05Mik you are correct ;-)
I got the Pirc in Black and White yesterday. Going through it on the board. It’s a slow process for me, but it’s coming along
@@deepskywest3633 that's excellent! As you go through it, you will learn a lot of Chess in general and opening lines that might be even a better fit for you than the ones I covered.
I love the idea of the secret weapon. Psychologically, the recapture of the bishop by the queen, gives the impression to white that you are in control of the situation and are comfortable.
I totally agree with you! If you ever use it in person, pay attention to the look on your opponents face when you do Bh6 😅
love this series and the pirc one too! Im about 1850-1900 on Lichess and was getting steamrollered with king side attacks before i found your channel. the qa5 line in 150 attack has been super helpful!
Excellent Tim! Happy to know you have found some value in these lessons. Please, let me know if you ever have any questions 👍
Love the info and breakdown of the matches. Thank you for your time much appreciated!!!
I like your secret weapon, feels awesome to check the king and take the bishop haha. Thanks for the awesome content, I’ll be reviewing the videos several times at least before trying it out for myself! Also, full game play through are nice to see for better understanding of the game as a whole and not just King’s Indian.
The repetitions are great for learning. Great channel!
I like your videos because you explain the concepts so well, all the way from "This is a chessboard" up to master level. There may be better players out there, but I haven't found any better teachers.
I won a tournament in my city using exclusively the czech pirc that I learned in this chanel. Five victories in a row. Now I'm going to start learning the Kings Indian. Thank you coach.
👏💪🎉
Keep rocking.. Wn sm1 asks abt ur coach.. Just tell him Rob! Don't give away the full name n this channel.. Lol! 🎉 (Just kidding!🤣)
I love either of the 2 variation. thank you. Hope you do more like this for us chess lovers.
Thank you Very much Robert you are a wonderful teacher i like the C6 followed by Qa5 variation a lot looking forward to playing it in tournaments
Robert, thank you. Your instructions are easy to follow.
I've enjoyed your videos and it really helped me a lot in chess. I hope you could do more lessons about the Pirc and KID and stuff like rating climbs using these openings. The Pirc and King's Indian became my favourite opening as black after i've watched your videos about these openings. Appreciate the hardwork you put in making chess content in teaching others!
Hey Maurice! It is really rewarding to read comments like yours. Thanks for taking the time to let me know. I will certainly do more lessons where I use these openings in live games. I am pretty sure you have seen them already, but make sure to check out the lessons where I did the rating climbs if you haven't 👍
Step by step teaching from you coach is the best,because i can follow your logic behind every move.It helps a lot. I was missing this until found your channel.👍👍👍
U said it well, bro.. Good luck!
Man, I like both. good explanation. thank you!
thank you so much! Ive been looking for a good variation against the samisch for ages and this Bh6 line seems perfectly fit for my playing style :))
I like the combo of you showing the moves then doing a couple games of blitz to show it in practice! Nice video and I will try this strategy
Hey Neil! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It really helps me help you guys 👍
I like both of these formats. This format allows me to focus more on the opening variations whereas the other format helps bring the ideas into the middle and endgame. I also appreciate showing us how to keep track of our studies in LiChess.
Man this is so useful! Going to use this tomorrow in my Tournament. TYSM You deserve like 1000x more subs honestly
I am learning a lot with your videos. The strategy behind a locked center, the advance of c3 and Be3 before castling. I liked the idea to keep the opponent's bad bishop on the board and taking out the good one. I have watched many chess videos and so far yours have exceeded my expectations. 👍
Thanks a lot for your comment, Carlos! It’s great to see you have found sone value in these videos 🙌👍
Found you channel today. It's brilliant. Keep it up dude. You'll get every support you deserve one day. I have been playing KID for 6 years. Never knew this line existed. Incredible King's Indian. You're awesome dude.
Thank you for taking the time to show your support. It is truly rewarding to read comments like yours 👍
consistently solid content, thanks
Like that ...Nd7, secret weapon line! Nice strategic chess. You are the best!! Thanks.
The secret weapon is great for me since I feel comfortable in end games. It all makes sense when I listen to you. Thanks.
This is amazing! I think Capablanca once said that the endgame is the only phase of the game that can be studied by itself and that because of that the opening and the middlegame should be studied in relation to it. I had never seen such of good example of following this advice. Really looking forward to putting this to practice. Thank you.
I just applied it! Thank you so much, I entered a perfect endgame and won so smoothly!!!!
I think I like the bishop sacrifice line better, but I’d like to try them all. I’ve been a fan of the Kings Indian for quite a while but your teaching makes it so much clearer.
That's the way to go, Phillip! Have fun and experiment. Thanks a lot for your comment.
Thanks to your videos and guidance
Thanks for the excellent video, Robert.
You are more than welcome, Robert 👍😎
Personally, I like the c6 pawn variation just to keep it simple and straight forward. I'll probably use your "secret weapon" as my secret weapon as well. xD
I also like it when you show full games just to give us an example on how someone would play the position.
Again, thank you so much for the content!
Hello Angelo! Thank you for actually sharing your thoughts. It helps me help you guys 👍
You're welcome! I hope your RUclips channel grows even more! It's completely underrated. 👍😁
Great Work
I liked ALL of it!!
I like the Nfd7 and bishop sacrifice version. Will try it out soon. Thanks for sharing your ideas!
You got it, Luigi! Let me know how it goes 👍
Thanks again so much!
1. probably c6 because i'm used to the 150 + pirc.
2. a few comments: for players around my level (1900 lichess blitz), i think one large hole (of many hah) in our game is forming middle game plans. i really liked your first KID video where you covered the Kasparov game and your own. i also appreciate the engouragement to write studies and explore openings on our own. i've only done a study for the KID so far and it has helped me better remember what kinds of things i should look for in my games. i do think it's helpful when you cover full games, though, as you can point out consequences of the opening moves later in the game. your commentary and insight is something i don't get from exploring openings myself, where i might not understand why certain things are done and also miss common traps that don't get played by strong players.
PS. I like that you're showcasing some of the good on lichess lately. chess . com is very aggressive in pressuring people to spend money, teasing reduced features and keeping the most useful stuff behind paywalls. besides that, i do think lichess is more pleasant and less buggy as well (though it has fewer players and especially fewer strong players).
anyways, thanks again for the insights and looking forward to the next in the KID family!
Hello! Thank you for your great feedback! It will definitely help me plan future lessons. And yes, I just want to share anything that might help you improve more efficiently. There are so many great resources now and yet many people do not know how to use them. I myself keep learning about new ones from my students. We just need to be open to trying them and pick the ones that work best for us.
I really can't wait for tournaments to start and for me to be able to try the kings indian at a real game
I know exactly what you mean! Hopefully soon 💪
Your tutorials are absolute gem. Thanks.
Glad you are finding value in them, Rajesh! Thanks a lot for your comment 👍
I like both ideas. #2 because I played it in the Pirc. #1 because it seems to be a fun way to try out something new.
Thank you robert! Keep going💐💐
💪😎
nice vid, thanks for the free teaching ❤️
You got it, Froilan! Glad to see you found some value in it
Cool video! I like your variation of moving the knight back. Might use it in my games :) mostly in my games vs 150/Samich I use c6...but this looks cool, it’s nice surprise...I like this format that you’re presenting the ideas behind certain moves, but could you maybe finish every lesson with you playing 2-3 blitz fames, that we see expert in action? :)
Hello Iztok! That is definitely a great idea. The problem is that it is not easy to get a game where my opponent would play the Samisch variation. Anyway, I get what you mean and I will try to do it whenever possible 👍
very good,nice tutorial
This is amazing, lets keep this channel grow :)
Bold variation K -D2. Gonna try it
I liked nfd7 the plan seemed more straightforward , i look forward to trying it in my games thank you for your channel
You are more than welcome, Michael! Let me know how it goes 👍😎
Great lines against the Samisch. Going to add these lines to my KID study and give it a try the next time I get a chance.
I played the Bh6 and it worked very well.
loved that nfd7 and leaving white bad bishop
Glad to hear that, Abraham! Hope you get to use it soon 👍
Thx for the lesson
You are welcome! 👍
nice channel. veru valuable information for free. Thank you
You are more than welcome! Thanks a lot for your feedback 👍
thx ... very useful
🙌😎
I love this course
It's free ,fun and useful
I'm a teacher from Iran
I started playing chess last summer
Playinh chess Is my hobby and your channel makes it very fun
You are a best teacher I ever seen
Nice midgame strategy. Liked the Knight F6 -> D7 but C7->C6 is also effective. I would play both just to mix things up a little. Presentation is good since it allows you to think about the tactics in "real-time" and you bring out the strategy to keep the student goal-focused.
Great content keep it up
Thank you!
You are my secret weapon. Thank you for all these incredible videos
You are more than welcome, Sam! Glad to see you are enjoying these lessons 😎
So good!
I had terrible win rates in Saemisch Variation. I love the Secret Weapon! Thanks!
Nice! Thanks for letting me know, Leon 👍 Hope you have fun with it!
Hi NM Robert ,coach :), great content and learnt a new approach. First off, thank you once again for the lesson.
It's too early to say which approach I like better with respect to your secret knight coming back move or the other and have to wait to try out in the games. But an unconventional move will definitely take the opponent off guard. Also, I learnt this new idea from the video, that's always a plus!
Personally I prefer the previous format in which you formed your lessons, like in the Czech pirc and pirc lessons. Thank you once again :) love from India
Great feedback as usual, Anindya! Thank you. Once you try both variations enough, let me know which one you prefer 👍
Very nice intro!!! ..c6 followed by ..a6 or even ..a6 straight away looks good to me
Thanks a million times for all your effort in helping me get better at chess. Both variations are cool for me even though, but I love to play aggressively, so if am to choose I will prefer Nd7 variation I think it's more aggressive. My goal is to one day(the next 3 or 4 years) become the first grand master in my country, thanks for helping me in achieving my goal.
You are more than welcome, Owolabi. Keep training consistently and you will certainly make it. Just let us know when that day arrives 💪😎
Thts Awsome! Wish u good luck, Owolabi.
Thanks so much for your RUclips lessons. At last I understand the kings indian opening 😂
Thanks for another line and variations hope fully another one which is 4pawns attack I saw that sir Robert from the engine thanks again
You got it, Joseph!
Thanks👍..nice lecture
You are more than welcome, Vamshidhar!
I love your videos. Chess is not as big a game in kenya with many grandmasters as it is in many countries. I hope this will change with greater commitment on my side using your videos.
I know it will, Paul! It's all about that - commitment 💪
I was waiting for it ! Thank you so much for all this content. I'm spending more time (re)watching your videos than actually playing... if that's not a good metric for your content's quality then what is ?!
I'll put these into my repertoire asap !
(and having finished the video, I can say I like both formats, but a hybrid where you'd add one of your games against a Sämisch would be the cherry at the top of the cake)
Thank you so much for your great feedback as always, Michaël! I will definitely keep that in mind for future lessons 👍
an impressive channel, unfortunately only now discovered. I still have a lot to catch up on :-)
The idea with bishop h6 is really cool, I didn't even know it, but it is explained very well and profoundly here!
Welcome aboard! 👍😎
to answer your two questions: I like the two variations I will train on both but for the second before taking out the queen I will prepare with the pawn,
if not for your second question is what we prefer that you all show the game not exactly, it depends, i love to see when you start over each time from zero, it helps to memorize, and after finishing your oponing i love when you finish a game as an example to show an example of deddefence attack, strategy etc, or if it is difficult for you because it is a lot of work you can teach us the variants of openings up to the middle game and at the end analyze a single suit, as you want because all your methods are good I just answered two of your questions I hope it will help the channel and especially you, otherwise thank you again for all that you do for me and for my family thhhhaaannkk youuu master
I like the secret weapon , Nf6 to d7, e5 and sacrificing the black Bishop and exploiting the dark squares. I love playing fanchietto bishops and I want to explore not exchanging the queens after exchanging the black Bishop.
The other options favours a slower game and gives quite the opportunity to properly mobilise its pieces. I also prefer when you go through entire games and explain the various ideas for black
Well done and very instructive videos.
Am looking forward to your videos on Reti in the future.
.....favours a slower game and gives black....
nice variation Nfd7.. and i like c6 expand the queen side
Seriously, Man.. I like both.. I already play the pirc n Now, my dear friend-coach, I'm gonna try the bishop trick immediately.. 😀 Thx a ton! 🎉
😅💪😎
Prefer longer videos but still appreciate this one!
Awesome lesson Coach! I really like Night f to d7 & sacrifice the bishop. Also I prefer when you go over the moves without the engine. But that is mainly because of my low rating & I don't usually encounter the top moves. But it makes sense to use engine so a mix would be perfect.
Thanks a lot for your useful feedback, Adam! The Nfd7 variation is very interesting indeed 💪
I really like your little trick with ...Bh6 followed by ...Qh4+. That is a very demoralizing line for the Samisch player. White liquidates the dark-squared bishops on *his* terms. I don't think you emphasize enough how white has never castled. I play the Samisch and I have always found it frustrating when black delays castling kingside - or not at all.
I really like your "secret weapon". If you think about there is a similar strategy in a variation of the Nimzoindian where you change the dark bishop for the knight on c3 and then you put every pawns on dark squares. It's not the same, I know, but it reminds me a little. Btw I like and enjoy your course, and the way you teach. I appreciate these series about opening where you explain plans more than explain move by move. You already do it when upload videos when you play online. It would be awesome if you can comment and analyse with us your games or famous games of great players that played this opening, but I know that you have to spend a lot of time for that.. anyway you're awesome and this channel is awesome. Keep it up!!
Eh! Thats a bit bit too much to ask.. I think! Yet wishful thinking makes for many sweet moments.. Keep rocking. Rob is already doing a stunning job here 4 us, right? 🕊
@@geethuvarghese9103 you are right, but you know.. when you are not able to pay a chess teacher and then suddenly there is someone like Rob it is normal to ask to much 😅 Rob is like an Angel! Wish you the best (especially in chess)!
@@davidesuriano9836 Thank you, Chap! Wish you the best too..
I like the C6 version best. I favor this version when discussing ideas in the openings.
Thank you, Patrick! Your feedback means a lot. Let me know how it goes next time you face the Såmisch.
I like the " Oh no my bishop " variation :)
😎💪
I like this format
Amazinggg
Thank you!
You wanted to know our perference. After watching this again I like this format where you show the moves best but games move x move are also very helpful so format 1st and games also but 2nd.
Excellent! Thank you 👍🙌
Thanks coach! one question how to answer a4 after we move Qa4? we can't play b5 anymore. engine also show +1 which give slight advantage to white. any advice?
I have a question. How would you play Nfd7 if the opponent plays Qd2 instead of d5
THANKS FOR EVERY SINGLE SECOND
Today I used the variation with c6, a6 and b5 but without Qa5. White did the usual Be3, Qd2, Bh6 and I got an advantage with Qb6 in the right moment. Won a pawn, and later the endgame since whites kingsside was undeveloped. Thanks for the tip! 👍 Edit: Game over the board 1h for whole game with 30 sec increment.
💪🎉 congrats!! Thanks a lot for sharing and good luck for the rest of the games 👍😎
Thanks for another great video! (Sorry, I'm very behind in watching these, but catching up.) I like the Nfd7 line you showed but I have two questions. 1. When you play ...Bh6 to challenge the bishop on e3, White could play Bf2, keeping the dark-squared bishop. Would you castle short there? 2. Suppose after ...Bh6 he plays Bxh6 Qh4+ g3 Qxh6 Qd2 Qxd2+ Kxd2 a5 bringing us to the 8:00 mark in the video. Can't White play Bh3 there to get rid of his very bad bishop? We can't stop him from trading it off, right? I wonder what our plan becomes then. In any case, I love how you talk about long-range strategy in all of your opening videos. This really makes it possible for people like me, who don't have time to memorize lots of theory, to play these openings with confidence!
could you make a video on rui lopez vs sicilian defense please...
best moves for the white
Hello Aryan! I will when we start talking about the Sicilian 💪 By the way, it is not a big deal, but the Ruy Lopez is only vs 1...,e5. The opening you are referring to is called the Rossolimo vs the Sicilian. Again -the name is not a bid deal, but in case you are trying to look it up.
I have been comparing this with the Austrian attack. white pawns are just over by one more square. for the Kings Indian to the Pirc Defense
Beautiful!!!!!
BRO PLEASE PROVIDE NOTATION WITH SUB LINE AND IF POSSIBLE INCLUDE SOME FAMOUSGAME WITH SAME LINE OR VARIATION.THANKS
I like e7 - e5 the most. I know I'm getting too agressive at times but I like to have at least the feeling I'm getting somewhere. Also, I like going through this variations a lot
Makogonov or Samisch? Which one do you guys prefer against KID?
Today I saw this video again and gained a lot
Finally, now only sveshnikov is left ❤️
4:56 does this secret weapon also work against the 150 Attack if I see it coming in the Pirc? Or is the KiD different enough from the Pirc that it's not as good? Thanks!
Hello! I don't think it translates well into the Pirc. It might have to do Wirth the fact that White did not play c4 and that give them a different angle regarding their piece development.
I like the c6 variation, I dont like going into strategycal endgames too early, but I have to admit Ne7 is also very interesting.
About the video format, I personally like this one, without reviewing all the game because at the end of the day Im just looking for the opening part. Anyway again, the other format is interesting too.
Thanks for the series, they are amazing.
Excellent! Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. It helps me a lot! I think I prefer c6 too by the way 👍
The 1st variation Ne2
Hi Coach, in your secrets weapon in game 1 white have a bad bishop, but we also have a bad bishop with same color, if you good positional/tactical player it may work, but it is very complicated for me unfortunately. Never then less THANK YOU very much !!
I like much better the 2nd variation, because it is not basically finishing with a pawns endgame. Then, I prefer to play the c6 other variation, because it looks like the Pirc defense. It's OK if you don't present one of your games, because you told us to use chessgames to see a lot of games to help our study. Thanks!
Nfd7 is my favorite, I'd love specific games
