    Learn how to play Chess the right way from beginner to master level. National Master Robert Ramirez will take you up the pyramid by following a proven Chess training program he has been improving and implementing for over 10 years.
    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.

    #3 candidate moves 1) f5 attacks e4 opens f file. 2) Nf3 attacks e4 but e4 is defended. 3) either N to c5 leads to even exchanges but W loses B pair. 4) c5 either locks center or disrupts W control if W X c5 en passant and Black x back. My selection f5, then continue the video and learn error.

    Candidate moves. 1) b6 -- relieves Q and N of guard duty, allows activation of B on new diagonal., also Rooks will be connected after B moves which counters W's doubled Rooks. 2) h3 prepares attack on B by g4 and traps either B or N after N x g4. 3) R a4 prepares Qxf4 then trade of Queens - up a pawn. my answer b6. Now...continue video.

    #4 candidate moves 1) R e1 to challenge W N e2, if W does it anyway W gets the Rook, but Black gets the queen. 2) N x d5, c4xe5 attacks B but W has to move Q. 3) BxN two attackers on queen both defended from Q attack and Q remains threatened. so W has no time to capture B with c4. My answer B x N., and continue video.

    Love the video series. I think my preferred structure for these videos would be for you to mention 2 options and briefly their ideas, but then to tell us your favourite and why it’s the best, and then show us 3 games using your favourite setup. (Instead of 1 game from each setup). I find when I’m learning all these lines and Iv watched a video where in some cases you have 3 options it gets difficult to remember what I’m playing and why. Thanks for the great content 👍🏻

    • @NMRobertRamirez
      @NMRobertRamirez  3 года назад +2

      I totally understand 👍 I mainly provide you guys with different variations because it is important that you have options since not everyone has the same style as me. Also, many times we can get ideas from one variation and use them in another one.
      If at any point, it gets confusing, try to just focus on the variation you like and ignore the rest. However, I again recommend exploring as much as possible. Even games played with other openings. It is all about filling our database with as much information and patterns as possible.
      With that said, I will keep your suggestion in mind. I am always taking notes from your feedback to better prepare future lessons 🤓

  • @aw6936
    @aw6936 3 года назад +1

    I like your channel - very clear, and helpful. But I have a general question on openings. Suppose I take a fancy to the Ruy Lopez - I read books, watch videos, etc. - and decide to give it a shot. Move one: e4. Trouble is, my opponent doesn't oblige with e5! So my study on the Spanish opening goes out of the window. It seems to me that anyone intermediate or lower, who doesn't have either the time or the inclination to learn at least half-a-dozen theoretical openings, might as well forget all that, and go with a "system", instead - the London for white perhaps, and the Pirc for black - which can at least get you to a middle game without disaster! So if, like me, you're stuck at intermediate, isn't that the only sensible choice?

    • @NMRobertRamirez
      @NMRobertRamirez  3 года назад +1

      Hello! This is a very good question! So, let's talk about it.
      The way you do it is like this:
      If you are a player who likes 1.e4, you need to prepare a good opening vs
      1...e5. In your case, you chose 2.Nf3. From here you need to know how to play vs
      2...,Nf6 (Russian Defense)
      2...,d6 (Philidor Defense)
      2..., Nc6 ( you chose 3.Bb5)
      And others like 2...,f5
      Besides all of this, you have to know what to do if Black plays:
      1..., c5
      1..., d5
      1..., c6
      1..., d6
      and many other options.
      As overwhelming as it may look, this is the way to do it if you want to improve your Chess in general. You will be learning so many new ideas and patterns from all of this theory. Besides, you will improve your ability to memorize and visualize. In summary, you are adding more content to your Chess database.
      Of course, it is not mandatory. You can avoid it by choosing a system like you mentioned, but in that case, you are limiting yourself. If you choose this option, try to as part of your training, review games from any other openings to acquire all of the different ideas and patterns to continue to enhance your Chess knowledge.
      **By the way, building your repertoire against all of those lines does not have to be so rigorous. Start by learning the first few moves and main ideas for every variation and it should be enough to make it to the middlegame safely while learning Chess.
      ** Also, if you choose to stick to a system like London and Pirc, it has the benefit to leave you with more free time to focus on middle and endgame, which is what matters the most. Just remember to digest any Chess content that comes your way and review games consistently as part of your weekly training.
      In my case, I started playing without much knowledge of opening and focused in middle and endgame. Then, I started to build my repertoire little by little like I explained in lesson # 72. Then I got to the point where I just specialized in systems and avoided spending so much time keeping up with the theory. The only system I kept since early in my career was the Pirc and King's Indian Defense, but as white I played 1.e4 and learned how to played against everything black can do.
      Hope all of this makes sense and did not confuse you even more 👍

This has me interested in playing the KID as black and I've even tried the KIA as white, I've never been a fan of fianchetto openings but this series at least has me considering them and even playing some to get a better feel for them.

    @MarcelArtsCW 3 года назад

    After watching all your Kings Indian videos, my opening trainer contains 445 positions for my KID repertoire. For my level, that feels overwhelming. So my plan is to work out the most thematic moves for all the variations, play with it and then go back to the repertoire, after I get stuck on certain positions in real games. For example: I recently faced the Austrian attack in the Pirc. I remembered my studies incorrectly and reacted like for the 150 attack. So after the game, I looked it up and made a note in my studies that says: thematic for the 150 is to delay castling and play c6 and for the Austrian strike with c5. Which is only rudimentary, but helps me at my current level until I can remember (and understand) more positions :)

    Robert,
    OK, I finished all 10 games thank you. I love these old games. They seem logical with clear plans compared to many of the "concrete" games played today. Enjoyable and informative.
    FYI, I am a retired American living in Thailand and I play chess everyday as my hobby.
    Decades ago I decided to play the King's Indian Defense (KID) under the influence of Bobby Fischer. I had a book with all of Fischer's games so I decided to play thru all of his KID games. No computers no internet. It took a long time. Resetting the board after looking at side lines seemed like a pain but, just like in your videos, I got a lot of repetition which burned the learning into my brain.
    When I did not understand a move I had no where to turn but to try and work it out on my own. Sometimes that worked sometimes I never figured it out but my learning was always very active.
    After that I played the KID and KIA for years with excellent results that took me to 2030 USCF.
    I like the way you are explaining things and value the repetitions. Keep up the excellent work. My new repertoire is completely Ramirez inspired (KIA KID Pirc).
    Question, do you know Bryan Tillis of the Palm Beach Chess Club. He is another RUclipsr I enjoy watching but he is no where as popular as you are.

    Jim

    So it seems c6 or Nbd7 work well if they play an early e4 (like in most other KID setups we see), but oftentimes they forego e4 to expedite fianchettoing - in which case, from the games you posted, it seems Nc6 is the typical plan. Is that fair?

    Closing in on the high 1300s again(1368 chess.com rapid), had a 104 move draw today 🤣 ...... Taking notes.... This can be basically catalan vs KID in some lines 🤣
    One question, I got this variation today and I got the opportunity to take on b2 with the rook and knight undeveloped should I give my strong Bishop for the rook and pawn? ( he had his dark Bishop so I retreated to a central Square fearing dark square weakness was I wrong??)

      This certainly depends on the specific position, but if your intuition told you to keep the bishop, you did right 😎💪

    Hey nm Robert, could you please help me with a question I have, preferably in a future video as well. You know the thematic a5 move in KID, I really like how you explained it’s potential, however then my opponent knight comes to b5 and puts pressure on c7 forever, and I have no means to push that knight. So that prevents me from using this idea, could you explain how to handle this problem. Thanks so much for the videos as usual.

    • @NMRobertRamirez
      @NMRobertRamirez  3 года назад +1

      Hello Sameera! Good question. We often solve this problem by taking the knight with our light-squared bishop. Take a look at 29:30 in this video. The problem with it is that our c7 pawn can then be attack through the c file, so we have to time it and make sure our c5 knight cannot be removed by a pawn. Again, it is a scenario like the one at minute 29:30 of this video. Please, let me know if this makes sense. Anyways, I will talk more about it in a future video since sometimes we can even do Rf7 after f5 and we take care of it..

      @@NMRobertRamirez Thanks so much for the reply NM robert. They seem to address my question, but I still have some queries. In a previous video you showed us how to use KID and attack the king side castled king of the opposition by opening up G file, then you told us don't worry about this light squared bishop been not developed we would sacrifice this light squared bishop if conditions are right for a great atttack on king side. Now when we exchange this light squared bishop for the knight we can no longer carry this attack? Isn't that a disadvantage. Eagerly waiting for your reply and possible explanation in coming videos. Thanks..

    • @NMRobertRamirez
      @NMRobertRamirez  3 года назад +1

      @@sameerawijesundera8022 yes. As you may know by now, when you choose that kind of play, you are willing to allow your opponent to put pressure on the queenside while you attack on the kingside. Just like they might have an annoying knight on b5 (or anywhere else on the queenside) you have your pieces on the kingside.
      I mentioned the Rf7 move as an option because moves like this one can defend c7 from their b5-knight while transferring to g7 to put pressure down the g-file.
      Bottom line is we have to make concessions and hurry up to attack on the other side before they do the same on the queenside. As many of my students say...you cannot have your cake and eat it too 😎
      Nah seriously, we will talk more about it. For now, the best way to learn how to deal with it is to review lots of games where professional players use the King's Indian Defense 👍

      @sameerawijesundera8022 3 года назад

      @@NMRobertRamirez Thanks again for the help NM robert. Makes sense that clears up things. So if I sacrifice my light squared bishop for the knight after the a5 move, does that mean I should avoid going for that king side attack by opening up "g" file. One of the problems beginners like me face with KID is knowing when to go for the king side attack by opening up "g" file and when not do that and play a positonal game. Hope your future videos will address this as well. Thanks again.
