- Chess players! Yes, we have to reinforce a key strategic concept we covered in lesson # 52. This time, we will be doing it through a game played by Richard Reti vs Belgrano Rawson. At this point in the course, we all should be trained to identify, secure and occupy an outpost. However, converting such an advantage into a win can still be challenging. So, that’s where lesson # 121 comes in. Enjoy!

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.

Hello guys! The answer to the homework and the game we used in this lesson can be found in the description of this video 👍
I don't comment on most of the videos, but this video is amazing. Thank you NM Robert for this.
It's great to see you found some value in this lesson! Thanks a lot for your kind words 👍🙌
I would plan to place the knight on d6.
So first Nb1, then Na3, then Nc4 and then Nd6
Home Work
Since it a middle game(I think) the center pawn(on dark square) negate the movement of the dark coloured bishop.
There is outpost on d6 so we can transfer out knight there (Nb1 Na3 Nc4 Nd6) but since it dark coloured output black can trade their bishop for our knight.
And lastly a very amazing video👍👍
Position 2 knights in advanced position need support to concentrate on the hallali on the king (side) and neutralize as much as possible the deployment of the black pieces…
After watching this lesson, I remembered lesson from #52 about importance of an outpost square. Amazing how something as inoccuos as a simple pawn move can create such a threat. For some reason I didn't look for that because so many pieces were off the board. Thank you for this, Awesome lesson hermano!!
Interesting lesson master
Ever since I subscribed to your channel
Have improved on my chess weaknesses
Continue doing the great work master
You are a good teacher, no doubt you must have very much subscribers,Love from 🇮🇳🇮🇳
1
E5 i think this move is trying to trade queens and not let me o-o and make my king a traget and i think that back will alway be succesful win the pawn back
2
B c5 natural it wins.tem pe and the move i would play and i would retreat and attack the bishop
3
My plan woud be to attack the nite or trade it to devlope my bishop and o-o
22:34 b6 & d6 are 2 holes in Black's territory. So we need to occupy that hole by our Knight.
The plan 📝is ...
Nb1👉Nd2👉Nc4👉Nd6
Thanks for another great lesson Coach Robert! I really like these strategy lessons. I admit that when you asked the initial questions about the moves e5 and Bc5, I wasn't thinking about the d6 square. Having an outpost for a knight without a pawn supporting the outpost is a new concept for me. Thanks again!
in the final puzzle my plan would be to reroute the knight to d6 or b6 by going to b8 then a6 then c4 then d6 or b6 depending on the situation also a thing to note is that when i move the knight to c4 a5 would be pressured and it hard to defend that pawn without making ur pieces passive, so i would try to put pressure on the e5 pawn while looking out for attacking potential towards either to d6 or b6 or the squares controlled by the knight when its either on d6 or b6.
Bc5 is like both main forces (Q) are dead in the early fight and you send the troops to the capture a position that you think is vulnerable without much calculation…
I think the problem with the move is it overextends which can make your king weak and creates a weak square. but it does give your bishop a good diagonal but it is not worth the disadvantages
This was a great lesson. Thank you, coach!
What a wonderful use of d6
How did the knight get to g3!?
Started from your early lessons to veering off to look at openings for black & white & since then have using the quiz in #143 to visit lessons I skipped (e.g. #121!).
Started playing chess at the beginning of the year in the hope I could play with a sense that I knew what I was doing by the end of the year; the idea of identifying/creating an outpost could be an important step towards this, but though I did see #52 somehow I forgot the lesson - till I got to question #12 in the quiz :(
Presumably e5 was done in the hope white would take & black could exchange queens & white will forfeit the right to castle? But that's not the only move available to white (e.g. Nf3, or another developing move). Black is ignoring the opening principles of controlling the centre & developing the minor pieces & d6 is already undefended by a pawn...
Simply fantastic, master Ramirez! I believe no one has shed as much light on this valuable game as you. I also believe that all of us who follow your school are becoming better players. Thank you sooo much!
You are more than welcome! I really appreciate your kind feedback 🙌👍
Like before watching as always! Awesome material
Thank you for sharing
e5 seems like sending your infantry in the battle without support ready for whatever your next fight…
s5: good move, strikes white's center, opens light-squared bishop, if dxe5 then Qxd1+ Kxd1 Ng4, forking the pawns Bc5: I like it, develops with tempo, gets ready to castle, if white responds Be3 then Ng4, if white responds Nb3 then Bb6, keeping pressure on f2 and maybe a later Ng4 to pressurize f2 further
The hanging pawn on a2 was never a problem? Because I would have pushed that one to a3, taking control over b4 also, so that the black knight is even more restricted.. and just didn't want to let the black bishop capture that pawn..
Fantastic lesson...again! Thks Robert👍🇨🇵
Concerning the question asked end of the video :
d6(weak square) seems to be a nice outpost for the knight. So the plan may be to play g4 and, when the f5 pawn leaves put the knight in d6 via e5.
Next we might concentrate our threats on square f7 already controled by the knight by doubling rooks + queen on colonn f?!
I agree so that can't be right
@@berniebrown4960 lol
Feel free to check out the entire game from which I got that position. I left the link in the description 👍
Thanks♥️
e5-- imho black should be developing his pieces and castle before engaging
Since white does not want to lose castling rights, black is posing a problem for white of how to defend the pawn. If white can find the plan of Qe2 followed by Bg5 and long castles, this might be good. One plan for black that could potentially stop that idea could be after Qe2, black could play Bg4, except then white could respond Qxe5. In conclusion, black's original e5 makes white calculate options a bit, but seems to be foiled easily. That's my first impression before watching, so lets see how wrong I am lol....
Bc5 doesn't seem super great because material is equal and assuming white replies Be3, black has set himself to give up a bishop for a knight in an open position where bishops are better. By leaving white the bishop pair, black hands white the advantage.
For the last position, there is a hole on c7 where the pawn was, but the knight can't get there. Since black pushed c6 and also has no dsb, there are some dark square weaknesses for black. Long term plan would be to take advantage of this weakness, perhaps starting with trying to get a knight outpost on c6, or moving the king on the dark squares to get the rooks out.
Thanks a lot for sharing your answers 🙌👍
Thanks dear
e5 creates a weakness on d3 , Bc4 I don't know - it's somehow attacking the knight what is good on the one hand, but it can be easily defended, and trading that bishop which could be defending d3 is certainly not a good idea. Well my strategic plan would be to get a knight on d3 and ideally securing that square with my c-pawn. :)
E5, sacrificing the pawn to make you not castle by exchanging queens
Thanks a lot for sharing your answer 🙌👍
These exercises are very useful,. Thank you so much!
Amazing. Excellent teaching. Thank you
Hi coach! When I stopped the video trying to guess the plan I spotted 23. Ne7+ but the idea was slightly different. I intended to play 24. Nc6 immediately attacking both the Rook on d8 and the a7-pawn, which would be going to fall unless he plays back the awkward 24...Ra8 to defend. In any case I could improve with 25. Ne5 adding one more attacker to f7 and planning also Rdf1. At that point with 4 vs 3 the f7 pawn would have been falling.
Do you see any drawback in my strategic plan?
Thank you in advance and still congrats for your super RUclips Channel
OK this is my thoughts. Only 2 moves D5 of G4. I'd like to rotate my Kd6 and I have two paths I first thought to attack the middle with D5 and than soon realized that weaken my E5 pawn. So I I thank started playing around with G4 ant is my move. I they take than take FxE5 we capture back QxE5 not sure what move black has at that point and my next two moves are Ke4 and Kd6
I think if I was black Id move my rook and that the now open F file that is a deep as I can get at the moment
1. E5 black wants to challenge the center like a scandi and gain a advantage if the pawn trade happens by snacthing castling well knight can reroute to d6
If our dark bishops get off
2. Bc5 one move threat, we can gain tempo by Nb3 or even Nf5 and then Be3 to trade off that dark bishop then the d6 square is all there for the taking
Need a video on endgame imbalances, I saw the wc game yesterday live, how did nepo know where to put his queen to defend, how did Magnus know the setup with the minor and major peice , I have desires to learn that sir 😀
I know! Years of training 💪 But yes, we need to talk more about it 😎 BY the way, thanks a lot for sharing the answer to each question. It means a lot 🙌
@@NMRobertRamirezok thanks ❤😊
#1 e5. dumb move. white can bring his bishop to g5, and exchange queens with his rook. ...e5, Bg5 Nbd7
#2 Bc5. black is giving up a bishop, in an open position. Favours white.
Yo coach guess what....because of your lessons I made it from 700 - 1020 in one week with only 4 loses
Congratulations! Thanks a lot for letting me know 🙌 It means a lot!
In the homework isnt h4 before Nb1 better as then has to come via g6 Bf8 to help d6 ,and that way he wont be able to save the hanging a5 when the knight gets to Nc4 ,although g4 is weakened due to h4 black doesnt have any way to exploit it
Can you help me understand why Nb1 was better than h4 then Nb1😊
Homework: Nb1 rerouting tithe weak square on d6?
Thanks for making these videos,Sir.Hope you reach 100 K subscriber soon. I will start from lesson 1.
Thank you! Let me know if you ever have any questions 👍
Thanks, coach!
Thoughts on d problem given at the end...
1st thing that I notice r the squares d6 and f4....hence I can move my knight to b1 or e2..now I should probably choose to go to d6 because The position is closed... But the bishop is also a good bishop... So I am confused...
Hello! Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts. The bishop is also good, but the knight will be superior from d6. And if they ever take our knight, we capture back, getting a protected passed pawn 👍
I love your content, thank you
Excellent video thank you
Outpost on d6
e5 - good move, its giving a pawn temporarily while also making whites piece a bit disogarnized (assuming white takes), black is better.
Bc5 - ok/normal move. white can equalize with Nb3, Bd3 and
postion 1 - white is a bit better since it has 2 pieces develop and are rather active. this position is kinda dry so my plan would get be to get a rook on the 7th rank and push pawn to create a passer or problems to black
homework - im seeing weak squares on d6 and b6, black cant create significant threats so white can waste tempi with the plan. the correct pathway should be Nb1-Na3-Nc4. Now comes a hard decision on which square to land, since black is going to trade the bishop for the knight. On d6 im creating a protected passed pawn and a backwards pawn for black on e6. on b6 the you maintain the knight but pressure blacks position way less, but you could create an attack opening the b file and the a file. on my see d6 seems nicer
Thanks a lot for sharing your answers 🙌👍
Wow that’s amazing thank you so much very beneficial video! Also may I ask could you talk about how to improve visualization without it calculation doesn’t work and I really SUCK at it :)
Hello Mohamed! We have talked about it throughout the course, but feel free to take a look at lesson # 115 and let me know what you think 👍 ruclips.net/video/ChZFWbZ5bF8/видео.html
e5 is a strong move from my understanding. He opens bishops, controles center and atacks my pawn
Thanks for another great video!
You are more than welcome! 🙌😎
16:45 "From lesson number 5" 😂😂😂 I suppose you meant move number 5

Hello...may I ask you to change the board to a more contrasty squares ? Like the board used in lesson #109 the yellowish brown and yellowish beige are not easy on the eyes ...also, could you explain to me the subscribers benefits I read them many times but didn’t understand them :) lastly do you do online one on one coaching? Thank you soooo much for the amazing content
21:24 what if black takes the knight on f6 isnt that equalizing as the material is equal and the attack seems to be extinguishing
Nxf6 gxf6+ Rxf6 Rg2+ Kf8 Rh8+ Bg8 Rgxg8+
Towards the end, why was Rh1 played instead of Rh2? Is that a typo in the game notes? It looks like it invites Nxf6 and gives away most of the advantage.
Hello! At what point in the video? 🤔
@@NMRobertRamirez 21:20. I'm loving your content, BTW. It just makes more sense to me that, instead of moving the rook on f to h1 and then doubling, he would have done the reverse and first moved the rook on d to h2. I'm wondering if there wasn't some kind of transcription error back when they first reported the game.
@@knownonsense3246 yes, you are absolutely correct. Rh2 is a way better move, but Rh1 was actually played. My guess is they were already in time pressure. Thanks a lot for bringing it up 🙌😎
Do you like to have music in the background while playing?
Yes 😎🎶
e5 is very aggressive which I think gud
White is better as it is ahead in development
How gm think in chess & strategy reply brother 👍👍
Love from INDIA
Another masterpiece 😎 🇧🇩
e5 to me is a good move
Bishop to c5 was a bad move
Bc5 I don’t no
Thankyou
I have became your fan Bro.
And soon will my EIGHT YEAR OLD SON
How to be a mastee in chess 😂
e5 don't like, it opens the center to much. Bc5 I like, trade with the N then blacks Nf6 has good places to go. But this opinion is coming from a very mediocre chess player.
What a wonderful use of d6
