I've watched your videos on the Pirc already at least 2-3 times each. These more general concepts are at least as much amazing. Your content is solid, I know you will gain in audience very soon. Wish you all the best !
Hello Michaël! I am glad to hear you are enjoying these lessons. Thanks for your feedback. It means a lot! Let me know if you ever have any questions and hope you use this concept of obstruction in one of your games soon 👍
I am sure after this series is completed this is the best series on youtube and you will reach 200k subs soon. Yesterday you have 260 subs now today you have 275
This is elegant! It reminds me of Nimzowitsch's declaration that prophylaxsis is actualized in both defending moves, and more active moves to protect and promote position. I analyzed the main puzzle well, but the specific moves to the pawn blocks eluded me. So, I have to say "no cigar," but I won a few puffs from it:).
Thanks NM Robert for you wonderful end game strategies. After I view your video, I got similar end game where I have the extra pawn and I used your strategy to cut off the opponent kind (2 columns from my pawn) and used the exact strategy to force my opponent to exchange the rook and promote my pawn to Queen
0:44 Alright... I want to push a4 and after en passant go forward with the passed pawn. However if I do this, the enemy king will come closer and will eventually put me in checkmate with the h pawn before I can promote. And if I take the pawn with my king first, he will catch up to my pawn in time. So I suppose the correct move is 1.f6 and when the pawn takes the enemy king has to go around it and therefore will not make it in time? 12:49 Oh I didn't see that route with two obstructions... Amazing exercise!
i got the moves lol but not for the right reasons. i didnt think the king would run to stop the promotion. i got it to separate the pawns so that they dont become a connected pass pawn. Good Explanation. Thanks Rob.
Sir you are helping not only beginners but even intermediates(1200-1800) Thanks for these lectures. Don't stop uploading. Btw how many are still left??
Thank you so much! As long as there are people benefiting from these lessons I will continue. Getting to master level requires numerous hours of training, so I do not think this series will be over any time soon hehe
I agree, it doesn't seem like the solution proposed in the video is realistic (even if it's what happened in the actual game), the rook we're attacking can simply sacrifice itself for the knight to get out of this interference-attack (for lack of a better term), and after the pawns trade off white ends up with a tempo on the queen, and the queen can't really do much of interest. maybe black ends up winning here, but it doesn't feel like a nice position
Once we understand the idea, it's easy to find the move. Thanks for these videos. I have one request, please upload a video about how to analyze my own games and find out my mistakes, and how to apply what I learned in future games. When I analyze my games using an engine, I only find my blunders and missed wins and I realize that I need to practice tactics, but I already know I should practice tactics. I cannot find any practical lesson from my analysis which I can apply in future games.
Hello Paul! You are welcome. Regarding your request, we will certainly have lesson on it similar to what we did on lesson # 72. In the interim, when you review the game with the engine (if you are on chess.com using their automatic analysis, then choose the "self analysis option) pay attention to the moves where the engine changes its evaluation drastically. Then see what the suggestions are. The important thing is to make an effort to understand the change in evaluation and the suggestions. Hope this makes sense although you might have been doing it already 🤓
@@NMRobertRamirez I would also love an in depth video on how to do this. I've tried chess.com and lichess but feel I must be missing something. I really struggle to know what I'm looking for. Sometimes chess.com gives me more clear instructions, other times I have self analysis switched on but have no idea what I'm looking for? (I'm not a premium chess.com subscriber. Perhaps sometimes they give me the full analysis as a taster? then other times force me down the self analysis route?). Would be great to get a walk through video from you showing us how to learn from our mistakes in previous games. Thank you :)
I would call this anything but boring. I felt pretty good and had that initial position all worked out--or so I thought. I missed that required very first move. Tough puzzle but definitely worth the time.
@@NMRobertRamirez Thank You, Brother, for checking my comment out. I know that I shall be trying to glean information from you regularly. I glad to hear that you are amendable to this..... I want to start now by asking you how one might view lessons from the their point of origin. I haven't been able to find anything before lessons in the fifties.

Hello Coach, I hope you recognised me. I have been going slow because I want to understand everything nicely. And about Evaluation I asked you before in a video of yours. Basically, I have learnt something new recently. It's about calculating evaluation. An IM named Levy Rozman or namely Gotham Chess on YT, told that there are four steps to calculate evaluation: 1. King Safety 2. Piece activeness 3. Pawn Structures 4. The no. of squares you control in your enemy side a.k.a Space in chess. I have been thinking for a while. And I found it useful. Do you think this the way titled players evaluate a position? Do you calculate evaluation in this way? Thanks in advance for your reply. BTW, love your videos. You will really succeed in future. ❤💪
Hello! IM Levy Rozman is right. We will soon have a lesson about how to evaluate position and come up with a plan, but it basically has to do factors like these ones. Glad to see you are getting exposure to this 👍💪
You got it Antonio! Actually in today's lesson I mentioned that we will be learning the Sicilian Defense soon. Stay tuned and thank you for your kind words by the way!!
Hello Coach, did you recognise me? I have many questions to ask today: Firstly, I am making an excellent progress on your lessons and tactics too. I can identify mate in 1,mate in 2 and sometimes mate in 3 too. Besides forks, swekers etc. But the main thing is I am stuck at 733 and the main problem is I blunder too much. How to avoid this, sir? Secondly, I get many endgame positions and the one taught by you like the Philidor, Lucena etc. But where to practice these positions? And moreover the endgame book you suggested me, was too difficult to understand. There are just moves not the explanation behind the moves. What to do then? What about openings? Regardless of anything, the one that makes me afraid is opening. If suppose I am white and I played 1. e4 my opponent may start with 1....c5 the sicilian. I get afraid sometimes, because I do not know the ideas behind the openings. Can you name some Chess Analysing apps for PCs, actually chess.com provides just 1 analysis for a day. And the problem is I cannot purchase the Premium version. So I need analysis apps to analyze my games. Thank you in advance for the response. I will catch up with you soon. ❤
Hello! Happy to see you are making progress! So, congrats to you and keep it consistent 💪 Regarding your questions, if you look at lesson # 100, you will hear me address what it takes to get to 1000 vs what it takes to get to 1500 according to my experience with my students. When it comes to blunders, you will overcome this as you play and train tactics consistently. For now, try to split your Chess time into 30% study and 70% play. Also, make sure you use a time control that makes sense. If we play bullet, blunders are almost inevitable. I recommend you do sometimes 15|10 (or longer) and sometimes 5|5 (this way you also get better at playing under time pressure). To practice those endgame positions, take a look at lesson # 99 where I showed how to set up specific position using a free lichess account so that you can play it vs the engine. Besides that, to learn more endgames, just keep following my lessons. If you are under 1000, the endgames I have covered are more than enough. I am sure, you are winning or losing endgames due to tactics (someone missed a fork or did not realize a pawn was going to make a run and promote safely, etc) Regarding openings, I would have you try the opening we covered in lesson # 34. You can see me using it myself in lessons # 36 and # 94. As Black, you will be fine for now with the one from lesson # 51. At this stage you are, you should not worry about memorizing lines or knowing everything about the different openings. Just follow the principles of the opening we covered in lesson # 24 and then outplay them in the middle and endgame. I hope this makes sense. If you stick to a plan where you consistently do your 30% training and 70% game, using the proper time controls, you will make progress. Try it for 6 weeks and let me know 💪👏😎
I haven't watched the video till the end, but I think the right move is A4, the even if the black takes en passant, we have a passed pawn and the Black king is outside the square. P.S. I'm wrong.
@@NMRobertRamirez thank YOU, for your lessons. I'll be taking part in a tournament this Friday through Sunday and i spend most of my time either with your videos, or Kasparov Chessmate app.
@@vladislavshevchenko9970 good luck in your tournament! Have fun and try to take good notation of your games. There is a lot to learn from our own games. It's great to know you are finding these lessons useful.
I would try on f6, it seems dumb, but you disconnected the h and g pawn... Then go Kxg2 and then occupying the G column, when black start push his f and h pawns we will start pushing the a pawn... Hope did it right, to be honest i didn't spent so much time on it... 1/2 mins
Sir, this was really difficult for me despite being a 1500 in puzzles from the easiest 1 , this is why I play chess, tactics make it so 😍 beautiful.... Ok I need more tactics tutorials like this.
@@NMRobertRamirez Wow thank you for replying my message! I am using your lessons up top episode 56 and I can grow from 1100 and 1250. Hopefully I can reach 1400 by the end of the year. Stay Safe Robert! God Bless.
I think the first one is first f6! then Kxg2 then a4. If I did calculate true the a pawn will be queen and black king is not gonna be able to catch him.
@@NMRobertRamirez no I didn’t see that 😂 but I would play this variation and then I would see it on the match of course but as you mentioned that move was really hard.
Absolutely! That's coming too. For now, try to solve lots of mate in 2 until it is not challenging to you anymore. Then mate in 3 and then in 4 and so on. Basically a mating net is a forced sequence that leads to checkmate.
pls make a video on pawn structures alone often in videos people say that the pawn structure is good or it is bad and i dont really understand on what basis they are saying it i know that double pawns and isolated pawns etc contribute to bad pawn structure but even if they arent present still some pawn structures are bad could you explain them please
Hello Aryan! We have a lot more to talk about pawn structures, but you should have a good foundation if you went over lessons # 39 through # 42. Also, I talked about it more on # 94 and # 95. And we have reinforced it in many other lessons like # 52. With that said, we will have lessons taking these concepts to next level. Maybe that's what you need 👍
@@NMRobertRamirez yes i went through 39-42 videos and understood everything you taught in them. what i meant to ask was, like in a video about ruy lopez exhange variation, the person said that after the exchange white wants to get to endgame quickly in order to take advantage of poor pawn structure of black. But even though on the queen side there was a double pawn for black isnt it really a small difference ? also looking forward to your future lessons😁😁
@@aryanbansal624 I did a video about that specific variation of the Ruy Lopez for members of the channel. Basically the idea is that on the kingside, we have 4 pawns for white vs three black pawns. Then we can apply what we learned on lesson # 39 about creating a passed pawn. If we trade 3 of our kingside white passed pawns for the three black pawns, we are left with a passed pawn. On the queenside, Black has 4 pawns vs 3, but since they have doubled pawns on the c-file, it is like having 3 vs 3 and there is no chance to create a passed pawn for them. Hope this makes sense 👍
@@aryanbansal624 you don't have to, but thank you 😎. I am just putting additional content for them, but you should be fine with the main course that is available to everyone. Just keep asking questions when you do not understand something. Notice how this doubt you had was about something we covered already 👍
I think im doing something wrong everybody here has such a high rating compared to mine, they are like around 1200 meanwhile in a month and a half time i only got to 900

On the queenside, Black has 4 pawns vs 3, but since they have doubled pawns on the c-file, it is like having 3 vs 3 and there is no chance to create a passed pawn for them. Hope this makes sense 👍
@@NMRobertRamirez ohhh okok maybe i'll also become a member after my exams get over in a few months😁
@@aryanbansal624 you don't have to, but thank you 😎. I am just putting additional content for them, but you should be fine with the main course that is available to everyone. Just keep asking questions when you do not understand something. Notice how this doubt you had was about something we covered already 👍

Sorry but......at 9.58 doesn't the king make it on time?
i missed the last obstruction. So i didint find the answer wel i found the answer but not the correct one did not see that path
Yes, that last one is tricky! If you find it necessary, continue to train obstruction. We really need to get good at it.

I think im doing something wrong everybody here has such a high rating compared to mine, they are like around 1200 meanwhile in a month and a half time i only got to 900
Hello! I don't know how many hours you have been dedicating to Chess during this month and a half, but reaching 900 is really good for that time period. Just keep it consistent and focus on your weekly training 👍
