I played a classical Chess tournament over the weekend at Bobby Fischer Chess Club in Miami and it was my best result in a long time scoring 4 points our of 5. In the last round I was playing Black and needed to win. Also, I knew my opponent was going to prepare against our Pirc Defense. So, I changed things a bit!

Benefits of Playing Chess:

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.

Love that the Hippo did you well!
lol the king of hippo her it's nice day when we can see hippo against pirc defense... i flew you 2 lol lovely guys
Great game, I'm glad that your improvised opening worked out. The knight's journey had me laughing!
Hi coach. Can you please do more Hippo content?
Hello! You got it 💪😎
Oh such a great game！ Hippo is one of my favourite openings.Thanks for your demonstration! You said it's the first time playing the opening, but you play well, you are so amazing and strong! ^-^
Switched to the Hippo years ago and never looked back! I hope all is well with you and all your loved ones. I bet your young son is keeping you on your toes😊
Gg.. I learned something bro
So happy to see you give the Hippo a try and get a nice win!
It's great for getting opponents out of their opening preparations, and it's super flexible and has similar ideas with more standard openings like the Pirc and KID.
hi cosh please if you can do more video about hippopotamus opening this will be great
waiting to play against chess ghe chess giant channel
Did you like the hippo? Think you'll play it again?
Bravo! As a big Modern/Hippo fan, I was excited by your title, and I was inordinately proud of myself for finding ... Kg6, at the end...
😅
😅💪 glad to see you enjoyed this one!
I hope that I will never fall so far down to have Hippo as part of my regular repertoire, BUT I still appreciate the awesome underrated instructive content. Thanks, Robert!
Congrats to the 4 of 5 result! 👍👍 In this game I think white was securing a bit to much and playing without plans. To much respect maybe. 😙Edit: I was instantly with you when playing Kg6 at the end. Curtains down. 😊
How did the endgame go if you had 30s or so left ?
It was easy since we had a 30-second increment per move 👍
Having the patience to play Kg6 is a high level endgame tactic! What a great move! Winning Endgame tactic.
Woah, never thought coach would play the Hippo. Bravo!
hippopotamus or rat opening?
No idea lol
Great game 👍 nice to watch and learn ☀️😎
8:15 why not Nf5 after white played Ne2
I think because my queen was not on c6 yet, right? 🤔
