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.

ok sir
cant recommend this channel enough, every thought is explained well and shows the reasonings behind every move
Amazing lesson
I've not played chess in years. I find after these lessons that I might want to pick it up again!
Ive learned quite a bit about chess in the last two months. Mostly used Gothamchess, eric rosen, hanging pawns and maybe a few others. However, i've found your channel the most instructive of the lot. I've been focusing on the KID/Pirc as black and London/Vienna as white and my game has improved so much with your instruction. Thank you and keep them coming!
Thanks a lot for your comment, David! It truly means a lot 👍
I've been playing chess for 50 years and you are the best teacher ever, you explain everything so clearly and it all works,if only I had this kind of coaching back then. Excellent work Robert please keep it going .
Tundish
Thanks a lot for your kind words! Please, feel free to ask me any questions you might have 👍😎
Re-watched this 11 months later. IT MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE NOW!! THANK YOU!
Haven't come across any chess coach on youtube who teaches and explains reason behind every single move in so much detail...keep up the good work Rob...great work excellent!
You got it! Thanks a lot for your kind words 👍😎
Was looking for this, as many people play teh London system these days. Thanks a lot!
You are welcome! Hope it works well for you 💪
This is the exact video I was looking for today. I was wondering if the king's Indian defense was a good idea against the London and this video delivered!
My favourite chess teacher on youtube! Thanks a lot!
You are welcome, Leo! 💪
Iam playing london regularly... but I don't know how to play against london... Such a great coaching... thank you robert!
You got it, Anil! 💪
Great work, as usual.
This series around the KID is one of the best I’ve seen. Thank-You!
d4 Nf6 Bf4 g6 e3 Bg7 Nf3 0-0 :
Be3 d6 0-0 Nbd7 c3 Re8 Nbd2 - 3:42
Be2 d6 0-0 Nbd7 c3 Re8 Nbd2/h3 - 8:27
If a4 then a6 (do a6 before e5 break)
Dear sir, this is such wonderful content from, I really hope you're earning well enough from all this, I never skip ads when played, I watch it for as long as it needs to be, thank you so much for doing it for free
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE your repetition based teaching style.
Theres a lot of tutorial but your way of tutorial is the very best,very ,clear and competent ..thankyou master
a6 all the way!
Nicely explained all the reasoning for the moves, very helpful for remembering. Thanks :)
You are welcome! Thanks for your feedback. It helps a lot 👍
Perfect Presentation, love Robert's insight on chess..
Great video! I've been taking Kamil Plichta's course on the KID, but he leaves out responses to the London. After studying this I feel much more confident playing against d4, you give so many good ideas and thematic moves. I appreciate the repetition too, it helps a lot when learning these lines. Thanks so much - your lessons are so good I might exclusively play KID/Pirc from now on!
You are more than welcome! Happy to see you are finding value in these lessons. Please, let me know if you ever have any questions! 👍
Thanks Robert. Excellent content! I am an 1100 player, so I have a lot to learn. I like the Pirc/KID setup and am trying to learn it. This helps a lot. I play the London as white, so I recognize when it is used against me, and I find it the most difficult to oppose when I’m black.
You are more than welcome! Thank you for your feedback. It means a lot!
the main structural difference is that in the pirc the knight is on c3 locking in the c pawn for white
Watching everyday 3 or 4 of your lessons and still hiped to keep on learning!!!!! Thank you for the course👏 Playing KID/Pirc with ELO 500 and everytime, everybody break into e5 before I get all the opening ready and nothing applies for me :D But still Fiachetto and the ideas I learnt from you Rob help me win. Let's see how long it takes me to get from 500 to 600...
Woaah I learned so much! Keep doing this great work!
Another great video, really happy with the b6 and a6 ideas !
Amazing! Thanks for this.
You are welcome, Joel!
I really like this lesson and his teaching style. The repetitions make the video longer, true, but I think they're perfect to remember the key moves later.
Great lesson Robert. Many thanks. It was clear, concise and you presented options. Loved it all.
Excellent instruction !!! If only I can lock it in memory banks !
I like how you always explain every move,it helps me see the board better
I prefer a6. I can see the difference between a master and an intermediate player like me; the master has a plan for all the game, instead only a few moves and basic knowledge for the intermediate. I have a better feeling now of what is ahead to the road of mastering if I ever get there. Thanks again!
Such quality content for free. Wow. Thanks alot !
You are more than welcome! 💪
A combination of both.
I like the surprised line that you showed.
Very good! Easy to understand though the overwhelming information
I was searching a good plan with kings indian against london system. I saw some video but no one was this much better as you taught. You are a awesome teacher and my dream coach in my journey to 2000 elo.
So glad you found this plan useful! Please, let me know how it goes when you try it next and thanks a lot for your kind words as usual. It means a lot!
I watched this thing now in 2023 and I recommend this for all players this is something useful.. thank you for doing that amazing analysis ❤❤
Very informative, thank you my man
Nice video.
I hope I'm not sounding too greedy, but any chance of a "Colle zuckertort" lesson?
It featured briefly in one of your videos and you recommended it to me in a comment.
I've tried it and it's really good- but I bet you've got some great tips.
I often managed to get a knight on e5 playing it and black has a lot of trouble removing it. Two bishops aimed at the black king. Plenty of space to move the queen and even rook into for an attack.
Hello Chris! We will definitely talk about the Colle at some point in the future. It is very interesting and I like it a lot. So, count on that lesson 👍
Great explanation learn a lot ❤❤❤❤ better than 90 percent of channels
Another valuable lesson. I prefer a6. Many thanks. 💪🏼👍🏼👏👏👏
Thank you, Mark, for your feedback 👍😎
And please we expect four pawns averbakh symislov set up videos but i usually dont find a middle game plan in When they do simmetrical fianchetto set up
Absolutely! We have to cover all of those little by little 👍
So against the London, the Hippirc works well! Thanks, great vid!
Really enjoyed this tutorial 👍
Great job as always. You have become my favorite instructor.
Excellent lesson! I'm a die hard KID player and I have always wondered what is the best reply to the annoying Bf4 London. I believe black can also go for ...d5 instead of ...d6 but I think it depends of white's set up and it takes the game in a completely different direction. Thanks for the lesson! Cheers!
Robert, this is great! Thank you!
Love the repetition approach in your videos! I only started learning a few months back, but was losing interest after being unable to follow what the chess heads were talking about in their videos. Always seemed like a bunch of nonsensical gibberish meant to show off how smart they are with no intention to actually teach something, despite the vids being "lessons". I feel I have made far more progress after only watching a few of your lessons; than I did with the 100 vids of others I watched before. You got a well deserved sub from me my friend. Thank you for reigniting my interest in this fantastic game. Happy Holidays!
rob your videos are amazing! I always come back for more lesson! keep it up !
Excellent, just found this channel, will look at your other vids. Many thanks.
Great course, thank you
What a lesson!!! Congratulations!!
Good job, good teachers are hard to find these days.....!
Great lesson
Great lesson!!
I love your videos! I love when you play live or show your games. Blitz 5+2 is fine with me as you have sufficient time to share your thoughts. Also I love the repetitions! 30 min video is not too long for me
Great videos, simple explanations!
At 12min. I had to hit the like button. Everything is explained well. Thank you!
Thank you! 🙌👍
Can't really thank you enough for these videos!
👍😎
Best chess channel. Thanks for your teaching
Really great. Thank you
Great lessons and videos. Really appreciate it!!
Wow. Can't wait to try this out.
thank you for this video as i played the kid vs london and lost the game because i didnt know how to react to it
Nice video! Could you make a video playing the kings Indian defense against the 150 attack?
Thank you! Feel free to check out lesson # 70 and let me know if that's what you mean 👍
Would have liked to see the London variation with knight to c3 instead of pawn. I see that a lot.
You are really awesome , Sir!❤❤❤ Seriously, nobody can do the elaboration this good.. just saying. Plz keep doing this good deed :). Thanks!!
Thank you for your kind words, Piyush! It's truly rewarding to read comments like yours 👍
Excelente clase,gracias NM Robert.
Un placer, Enrique! 👍
I like a6 where I can push e5 - and when I play c5 then I control the b4 square. Of course, I haven't played this in a game yet :)
Yes, I like that one too, Charles! Let me know how it goes when you try it in a game 👍
Really thanks for your excellent videos 😊
Also, white can defer both castling & c3, to get QN to c4, by a4, Na3-Nc4 because then it’s very difficult for black to get in e5 as white has 4 units guarding e5 (ie, d4, nf3, Bf4 & Nc4). Not critique but food for thought.
👍😎
Great stuff! Thanks. I prefer ...a6.
I love all of them sir, as always awesome explain, and you are awesome:)
Bob your idea of repeating the sequence is perfect for slow learners
Hi robert thanx for your effort i found this Channel recently and its became my textbook as a KID player i usually play Nfd7 e4 Nc6 Qd7 f4 ect against london but i kınnda feel this way is safer but many player doesnt break their pawn chain with our e4 move they just retreat the bishop then What should we do in the middle game
Hello Yusuf! You are more than welcome. Thank you for your kind words. Regarding your question, the most important thing is to always keep an eye on the e4 square like I mentioned in the lesson. Whenever my opponent just retreats their bishop, I like to do e4 to gain more space and make their f3-knight retreat as well. After that, I might even play d5 and my central pawns make it really difficult for white de maneuver with their pieces. Even if they do c4, I continue with c6 to keep those pawns there. Sometimes, you can do exd4 instead of e4 and use the e4 square to place your f6 knight. Hope you like one of these 👍
Hmm usually London players do different plans when they see the King’s Indian setup. Usually castling Queen side, and pushing the H-pawn. Im a London player, and this is what is recommended by most. You switch to Jobava London, castle queen side, and attack King side with all pieces alligning perfectly. Can also push the e-pawn in some cases.
Hello! That's possible, but as you move up the ladder, you will see it less often. Anyways, feel free to check out lesson # 70. The pans from that lesson can help you against the plan you just described 👍
Excellent video.
At 4:4 when bishop attack the pawn and king is exposed kc2 is coming and qb7 I lost many times sir
Hello Jammalamadaka! What do you mean exactly?
I love that a6 better. I haven't even played it but watching you, I totally love a6
Big thank you to you!
I didn't know that after c4 you play e5, so that's actually super useful.
Can't say enough that I appreciate you. :)
You are more than welcome, Leon! Glad you liked it!
"Always reply to an attack on a wing by striking at the centre". 🙂
1. ... g7 avoids the Trompowsky - nice
Great job 👏👏👏
Great video! I lost to a london today pushing e5 too early. Not anymore
Thank you, Juarés! Let me know how it goes next time 👍
thanks for sharing your knowledge Sir , Mabuhay po! :-)
It's a pleasure! 👍
Extremely helpful content, thanks a lot! You mentioned a second plan you execute but you'd come back to in a later video. Is that one out yet? And if so, what's the lesson number?
It is theory to play bishop E2 against King's Indian with London. I play London btw and it would be awesome if you covered theory in a future video.
Hello! Yes, it is common to see the bishop on e2. And of course, we have to go deeper into the theory of the London. Stay put 💪
Wonderfuly explained sir ❤️
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 👍
I prefer to use "a6" in the future.
As a low rated player, many of the opponents I face get those morale crushing Knights in my grill. I often get forked.
It is "a6" for me.
Very informative
Thanks again for a amazing video. I have 2 questions: 1) how about Qe8 instead of Re8 and 2)what if before castling, White plays h4 aiming for opposite castle and a pawn storm against the black castle? Jean-Michel
Great video Robert. Do you have a video for KID v Jobava London? When white plays d4 Bf4 Nc3 or d4 Nc3 Bf4.
An other masterpiece lesson
I thought that that Bd3 was the "thematic" move for white in setting up the London system structure. Is Be2 more popular here because it is against the King's Indian defense?
You are totally right, Kevin. When facing the kingside fianchetto, white pieces prefer Be2 because on d3 the bishop could be subject to attacks such as e5 and e4. Besides, It is on a diagonal that is not that good anyways. So, e2 seems like a more reasonable square although it is not so ambitious.
7:12 been there, done that :)
Great ideas, although i find your tendency to constantly play Bg3 instead of Bh2 striking. White played h3 for a reason, right?
Make a course on Landon sestam
thanks for the tips for using lichens!!
You are more than welcome 👍
Can we please get a king's indian defense vs bird opening?
My favorite thing is when you watch the higher level players after the opening they always say then you play chess
I like a6 better because it somehow relates to the pirc in my mind because the pawn in the pirc goes c6 which also stops the knight. I know.. not the same but enough is similar in goals.... kinda.
Yes, I totally get what you mean and it is great that you can recognize such patterns even though these are totally different positions 👍
Coach today I played KID it seemed to be Byrne variation but it was new
Robert, what are your thoughts on 5. Nfd7 (instead of Nbd7). I've seen this talked about as a way to get e5 in faster and aggressively go for f5 sooner. I mean as a specific counter to the London. Thanks! 💪
I think this is the video I’ve re-watched the most on RUclips.
I play London with White but sometimes Ruy Lopez Exchange and will try KIA soon.
For Black it’s Pirc and KID. Czech Pirc sometimes.
