Chess Openings: The Pirc Defense
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- In the Pirc Defense, black tries to defend the center with this minor pieces. This chess strategy is considered a hypermodern opening. After fianchettoeing his bishop to g7, black looks to control the dark squares in the middle while still allowing his light square bishop a great diagonal to develop. If black is not careful white can put lots of pressure on the kingside of black, limiting the development of black's pieces. Black must counterattack to put up a fight.

I love fan-chettoing my biship in the perk defense
Lol. You can call a circle whatever you like, as long as you understand its properties.
@@High_Priest_Jonko yes but you must call it the same as anyone else, othewise we won't understand each other.
@@user-zb8tq5pr4x You sound like such a conformist, I'm sorry.

Perc 30 defense
Yes very similar. White usually has his pawn on c4, but black still develops early on very similar to the KID with many of the same ideas. Good observation.
This is a good opening for people who play the KIA. Because it leads to very similar positions. It allows the KIA and KID players to stay in the same type of game against e-4.
@Gucci Crimson i think KI is kings indian .A for attack and D for defence .I play the opening in the video but I call it kings indian ,is it wrong ?
@@alexandru-davidbrata6583 when opponent plays d4 then you play pawn to e5 and then fianchetto Castle it's kings indian defense. If he plays e4 then do same with queens pawn that's pirc defense.
@@supervarun777 Thank you
@@supervarun777 d4 e5 is englund gambit am i wrong?
@@patrickrenztibayan2189 he is talking to what white will do
If white moves the d and c pawn it is a KID, if the e pawn then everything else then it is a pirc.
yeah not my style either but i always start e4 so i run into this from time to time. I def play the aggressive line for white.
I've been practicing this one for the past week or so and it's a lot of fun. This video really helps!
pirc usually pronounce as "Peertz" i just wanna let you know peace!
The opening is named after Vasja Pirc. So, "Pur-k" (perk)
Darryl Minaker no his name is pronounced “peerts”

@@dm3402 I know it's hard for you americans to imagine someone isn't pronouncing words as you do, but surprisingly, you're wrong
@@user-zb8tq5pr4x your emphasis can be on a different syllable (meh-ga-lo-don & mega-ladon). I never said that's how you say it, rather my intent was just showing how Agad ended up saying it like that.
Also fyi, more people have said it like perk like Hikaru so idk y ur so ornery its not that weird
And this is probably unbelievable, but yeah I'm likely very wrong and im okay with that
first time i heard this anyway
No, h2-h3 doesn't work since black can just respond with Bxf3 (removing the only defender of the d4 pawn) then after Rxf3 or Qxf3 then Nxd4 and white loses a pawn. Hope this helped :)
@AlltimeTrance I know I'm super late on this post, but just in case you're still wondering. You don't usually play either unless White goes for an early exhange and sacrifices his center, allowing you to recover it with e5. However, there is an Austrian Attack variation where you play c5 instead of Nc6, but it transitions the game into a Dragon Sicilian position.
I usually take the knight because I am more comfortable playing with a knight pair than a bishop pair - a bishop pair has great advantages because the bishop's reach is much more, but the good thing about pair is that they can defend each other if left alone - in the endgame it is very useful as you dont have to worry about your knights being harassed by the opponent and comfortable make rook and queen moves :):)
Hi Kevin, The Pirc is a Defense we would like to see in more continued detail. As an example, opening with the first pawn move as in the Sicilian then driving home the benefits of Pirc / Hyper Modern. Please, could you provide us something a little deeper on this specific theme. Blessings Kevin & thank you so much from this Major Fan. I'm often Sharing your fine work & would be se deeply grateful for a full response here. ... Mike.
Can i ask the difference between pirc defense to kings indian?
Why are you all complaining so much for his mispronunciation of Pirc? Search up Pirc defense, and you’ll see a ton of videos in which the person says perk instead peerts . It’s a common mistake so don’t get mad lol
Just came from your video on the dutch defence. Cool to see that you're still posting content all these years later!
the pirc is a strong defense however its weakness is instead of nc6 f3 complicates the position since it should be followed by lining the queen and bishop if not seen before becomes a tactical nightmare for black since u lose black bishop and the white pieces will try to crush your kings side if they are smart by castling queens side
I think he means what you are using to move the pieces and show the moves. Basically all that we see in the video.
It hasn't yet. I've tried to contact him about playing and each of us posting our commentary on the game as I think everyone would learn a TON from both of us playing but he hasn't responded back. We should get more people to request the matchup. It could be REALLY great for all chess enthusiast.
what is the difference between pirc and kings indian ?
Is this similar to sicilian dragon without c5?
yes and this is the king's Indian defense basically
no problem. hope you liked it
Bh5 still pinning down the knight, and if white goes for g4 his king side is very weak and unprotected. Also black can then do something like Nxg4 and when hxg4 then Bxg4 and the pin continues and the knight sacrificed for leaving a very exposed king with no pawns protecting it. If white does not capture the knight then black can move it and the pin is back in effect
I think the answer would be that it weakens the g3 square, thou to be onest I use that alot against bishops and knights, I sometimes even used it as a profilactic move and got pretty good results
After pinning the knight at 5:20, why doesn't white respond with pawn to h3?
Because white king is already semi open and h3 can provoke a sacrifice as bishop might take h3 pawn
Then the king would be open and black would certainly benefit
@@pokerrisker5135 Ok, thanks. That makes sense to me.
How can i see a good (preferably annotated) game that starts with pic defense?
WHAT DO U DO IF THEY ADVANCE PAWN TO E5 AND THREATEN YOUR KNIGHT?
You would take on e5 with the pawn, White will take back again opening lines for the queens. Black exchanges the queens with check, ruining white’s ability to castle and gaining a tempo to move the knight to safety.
I enjoy sitting with my xhessbiard in front of me and reenact each move you do. Thank you so much
Just one thing. Fianchetto is correctly pronounced with K. It comes from an Italian word (fianco, which means 'flank, side') and if you want to attempt a translation i would say it's something like 'flank trick'.
Everybody knows that, we just choose to say it the way we do anyway.
jddrew00
You don't say Byeship, or Qwen. Pronunciation is important; cultural and linguistic ignorance dwells on laziness
CrimsonCorona10 With your logic, the American English language shouldn't exist :/.
And it should not
In Italian Ch makes a hard K sound since there is no k in the Italian alphabet. Ci makes the (chee) sound. For example Chi makes a (key) while Ci makes a (chee) sound
From the 3 pawns across at row 4, does it not fuck up the whole pirc defense to simply play F5?
Why don't you move the pawn up in the beginning because if he takes you can jsut attack with your pawn forcing him to move and basically loose a turn
I agree with megagunner. Although I'm not the best place I have done this as well and have had it done to me many times where my opponent seems to have too solid of a strategy so I sacrifice my strong pawn structure to kill their tempo, only to find that seem to have had 2 plans, one of which was completely based on me making such a mistake!
Because black would win a pawn after h3, Bxf3 Qxf3 (or Rxf3), Nxd4 & black would actually gain tempo by attacking the piece on f3.
8:55 a lot of the time i see pawn to H-3 to put pressure back on the bishop and essentially making u have to pull him back, any perspective on that?
Just exchange with the Knight. The theory is similar to Alekhine defense.
at 5:25 when we move the bishop to g4 wouldn't white just move h2 pawn to h3... then we are practically forced to return the bishop?
c8-f4 what happens then with h2-h3 threat? Sac the bishop? Retreat to E6? or Trade out bishop for knight?
@thechesswebsite I'd be thrilled to see such a match.
First, it's not pronounced "Perk", it's pronounced "Peertz". The opening is named after Vasja Pirc.
Second, 5. ... O-O is considered dead for a long time now, since if Black decides to castle this early, then, 6. e5 Nfd7 7. h4 c5 8. h5 cxd4 9. Qxd4 Nc6 10. Qf2 dxe5 11. hxg6 hxg6 and 12. Qh4 is curtains for Black. The correct response, in case you're wondering, is 5. ... c5, directly undermining White's center. The follow-through for the most common response from White is to take the c5 pawn with 6. dxc5 Qa5 7. Bd3 Qxc5 8. Qe2 O-O 8. Be3 and then 8. ... Qa5 or 8. ... Qb4, depending on your level of aggressiveness.
Also, Black never makes captures that blocks the a1-h8 diagonal in this opening (like demonstrated here): what's the point of a fianchettoed Bishop on the main diagonal if you're purposefully blocking it?
6:14 , why not move Bg5-h5, and next turn, Nf6-g4, and finally moving Ng4xe3 for a good queen-rook fork?
if h3 then BxNf3 then when white recaptures, blacks knight on c6 can take d4
and what to play on 3:16 if white instead of playing your move (knight to f3)plays a pawn on e4 to e5 first?
Black would play Nb4 harassing white's light squared bishop as well as attacking the c2 square which is weak for white and will make it difficult for the queen to move around
I'm surprised that in the Austrian Attack you didn't cover the line 5... c5, which is a major branch and one of the most direct ways to hit white's pawn center and allows the possibility of transposing to the Levenfish variation of the Dragon.
That was just a quick introduction chill
hey one thing i don't understand (probably very basic stuff) and i noticed the same thing in a few of your videos.. when you move the bishop to g4 and pin down the knight, why doesn't the other player just play pawn to h3 and attack the bishop?
thanks in advance, really cool videos, learning a lot
i have watched seven argresive opening a million times any suggestions for black
Pirc Defense seems to be quiet popular. Theory grows very fast. Hard to know every Line..... So general advices are very important to Players like me. Thx a lot for your Video !
i know this is an old video but Pirc is pronounced Peerts and fianchetto has a hard k sound
I'm a beginner, but why does he move bishop to g4 when white could just do h3 after? Even if bishop takes f3, white recaptures with bishop. Wouldn't that be better for white anyway? Because his bishop would be now covering even more of the center?
Another beginner here, and I think you are right in terms of the opening. The trouble is when you look at the position in terms of the overall strategic position. White will forever weaken his King-side defense for the immediate benefit of having a bishop on a marginally better square. This isn't too problematic for Black, since he will be in no immediate danger because of it. The pawn on h3 becomes a weakness, as it is now only protected by another pawn, vs before when it was protected by the King and a Knight. If the g2 pawn can be pinned to the King at any point, the h3 pawn will be in danger of being captured, and the path to White's King will be opened.
So basically this is the kings indian defense except the order of the moves are changed?
love ur videos mate. there on a high level but u dont have to be a GM to understand it. keep up the great work
You alive?
at 6 minutes lets assume computer (white) moves d4 to d5 to pressure c6 (intstead of bishop to d3, what do you think woul dbe the best thing to do in this scanerio to ensure coming out with even or positive material?
What about pawn to f5 breaking blacks king defence?
Is pirc defense similar with kings indian defense?
Thank you both for the answers. I see I still have a long way to go. I was trying to not lose a queen, but I guess thats a good thing now.
It's been 12 years since you commented .
@@foisalmahdi It's been one year since you commented
What is the difference bw this and kings indian?
srbija nailed it, but yes, take pawn with dxe5. if he does take you can take his queen and if he takes your queen with his king you can move knight to g4, attacking the fork of the rook and also attacking the pawn on e5. This is very good for black, esp since white can no longer castle and black is now attacking and white is on the defense.
This was awesome, but I have a question at 0:17 when you moved your knight to g6. How would you respond to 3.e5 ...?
I play alot of agressive players and I saw that move e5 a mile away and after going down the line of possible moves as best as I could calculate, it seems to me that white wins with that move. How could black come out winning?
Hey I know this is 12 years old but black takes e5 with the pawn, White takes on e5 again, then black exchanges the queens with check ruining whites ability to castle and giving black a tempo to move the knight.
1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 e5 4.d5 happens alot for me - 1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 e5 4.dxe5 dxe5 5.Qxd8 Kxd8 6.Bg5 Be6 7.O-O-O Bd6 8.Nf3 h6 9.Bh4 Ke7 10.Bb5 c6 11.Be2 Nbd7 12.h3 Rad8 so does this one - 1.e4 d6 2.Bc4 Nf6 3.d3 e5 - the goal is to just castle kingside asap, the black squared bishop needs to be freed by slowly destroying whites center queen side, while trying to get pieces aimed at his kingside for mate.
What do you mean by counter attacking? Is counter attacking critical in the pirc defense?
When moving the bishop to B5 to pin the knight to the Queen, what do you do when black moves pwn to A6?
@thechesswebsite Yup, I already asked him a few times because I would really like to see that
pls share the video of pirc defense:
miscallenous system
The c2 square is weak because it would not only gain a pawn if the queen wasnt at d1 but the King-rook fork would be devastating for white
How do you spell whatever he calls a move with the bishop to b/g7?
nice vid man, the only problem is that ur PC looks like its about to blow up
with the nc3 variation instead of nf6 do nd7 and then opponent moves pretty much anywhere and u play nb6 it looks funny as heck but sometimes opponent will play bc4 by mistake because that's a common place to put the bishop and then just nxb game over... haha I should explain by stating this is a 1 0 cheapo and not to really chess! If white doesn't blindly just give away that bishop by moving it under a threatened square by the nb6 knight any reasonable move gives his side way too much positional compensation. At least under best play. Remember, when your opponent doen't make the best move your automatic response shouldn't be to reciprocate in kind. You need to punish him mercilessly for it! THINK!
How would one react to pawn e5?
Where?
honestly, it depends on the position. you could react to pawn e5 by simply taking with the d6 pawn, and then after white recaptures, if the d file is opened, you can take the queen. But, if the d file is not opened (say a knight of bishop is blocking), then you can just play Ng4 or Nd7 or Nd5--it really depends.
Knight to C6 at 6:30 is safe?
11 years ago: ''hypermodern opening''
not the same moves but makes a fare conter defence and attack
I'm going into a tournament against a player who destroys me at the indian openings against my D4, I know he plays sicilian and pirc as black against E4. I'm hoping I can use the smith-morra gambit against him, but dammit I had to watch this damn video just to cover my bases.
Are there any good gambits in response to the pirc like the smith morra gambit for the sicilian?
where did the challenge go down?
what if they move pawn to e5 right at the beginning..threatening the knight?
Take on e5 and you’ll get the opportunity to ruin whites ability to castle and gain a tempo to save the knight.
I have been moving pawn c7 to c6, Queen to d8 to a5 (white not castled) in videos they say mostly white Knight defends c3 but I have found white bishop to d2 is more common. At this point how can I develop the attack or should I leave the white piece pinned? Thanks, I only started playing recently so apologise for bad explanation.
@borbasgbbta either Nh5 or Nc4
And it’s pronounce FianKhietto. “CH” in Italian is pronounced K. Good video
Very interesting interesting. Almost looks like a king's indian defense, right?
Isn't this similar to modern defense ?
What if they push e5 early after d5?
Does the horse go back in the box?
Hi you would take on e5, White takes on e5, then you trade queens with check. This gains a tempo to save your knight and it will stop white from castling. Hope that helps!
@@timothydelacy9571 perfect thank you !
What do you suggest if white plays BG5 as his 3rd move.
Noobie question here, but at 5:05, after knight to c6, wouldn't white just attack it with pawn to d5?
Because it's obvious that then black would push its knight while the black also has castled. Black would then create pressure with his knight and resist any mainline strategies from white
@@pokerrisker5135 push the knight to where? b4?
@@trevbarlow9719 knight to b4 and when white pawn a3 then trade knight for bishop is good for black
whats the 150 attack?
take the pawn after white retakes take the queen, after white retakes he can't castle
I really need help with something if anyone with a decent ELO can help!!!! At 5:06 when black moves Nc6, in the games I play (my rating isn't phenomenal obviously) more often than not white would then make a move like pawn d4 to d5 threatening my knight immediately after development. How do you play well against such moves, or take advantage if they are considered mistakes? Nc6 to b4 doesnt even work because then they play a3 immediately. I HATE these players!~!!! How do I combat that style?
What's your opinion on the stonewall opening?
Hey Kevin,you don't know me.
my name is Dori,Im from Israel and I would really like to see you and Jrobi playing against each other and upload it on youtube for everyone to see it(by the way if you do please let me know). you said earlier in these comments that you need more people to matchup this,so there you go. I want it as much as everyone else does.
@BetteLard Fianchetto
Pronounced wrong. You pronounce it as Peerts/Pirts defense. Not perk.
What program do you use in this video?
I dont like Bg4, because after a3 you just have to bring the Bishop back..
It's the king's indian defense against e-4
Lol! My first online game began with 1.e4 d6 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nc3 going into a more two knights defence.
what software?
IDK if you (or anyone else, for that matter) are familiar with this, but it's actually pronounced PEERTS defense, not PERK defense. Just sayin, is all ^_^
What software are you using?
Thanks
I love love love this opening.
Learnt a lot. Thanks
That's awesome, Darryl. Glad you enjoyed it.
Exchange your Bishop for the white Knight, and then the black Knight on c6 wins a free pawn on d4, also attacking the queen, gaining a margin of center control
i've been doing this all along thinking it's the king's indian defense.
no, white's dark square bishop is on protecting the pawn on d4
awesome videos! love your channel, cheers!
Statistically the Sicilian and the Pirc give Black about equal chances but everyone has studied how the Sicilian works as both white and black...not everyone has studied the Pirc so that may give a black player a psychological edge.
Wow, that would be really cool if you guys played some games...No matter who wins...
