Can we just agree that Robert is simply the best chess coach on the internet? Many times when streamers explain "the strategy", I often wonder "But what if the opponent moved this?" or "Why did he move that?". Sadly this never gets explained by most others. Robert enters into the mind of a learner and often answers the very question they were just thinking about in an almost psychic manner. I don't usually comment on videos at all, but it would just be a sin to not give credit were credit is sorely, sorely due.

I've watched lots of videos from chess masters where they identify a square that would be a good outpost for a knight, but none of them ever explain how they identified a specific square as an outpost nor how to secure the square. Invaluable lesson here and that last game from Botvinnik was just a beauty to watch unfold.

I’m a 73 years young, learned chess back in 1966. 60 years have passed and July 2023 started playing folks in an online, world wide chess site, thought I knew chess…since that day 18 months ago, I’ve learned more about the game from opponents, some with over 50,000 recorded games. Wow! I appreciate your lessons Robert, never played more than 1 game at a time or with experience opponents. My first win didn’t happen till 1970. Only strategy I was told about was control the 4 center squares. Thanks again for your teaching. I do realize that you don’t cover all the variations, just the higher percentage ones. However realizing that, it’s up to me to adjust moves at times to counter the opponent’s. Win, lose, or draw, I enjoy playing. You explain the pros and cons of moves, a must have knowledge to improve my game. I will continue to follow your lessons.

This is a brilliant lesson. Thank you. I think the insight that makes this better than all the others out there is that Ramirez understands something deep: Strategic patterns need to be practiced and developed just like tactics training. Other teachers don't do that, they present strategic patterns as one-off 'brilliant' ideas. Ramirez takes the next step (and it looks obvious now, doesn't it?). Strategic ideas aren't simply found because the player or teacher is a genius. Strategy is a learnable skill, but only through a lot of well-focused practice. Thank you for that insight and for implementing it so well.

The fact that i ve spent literaly hundreds of hours watching other youtubers explaining openings, traps and systems and only now i finally found this one video, is making me tilt. Why didnt anyone else start with a video explaining what a weak square is and how to identify it and go on from there? As a begginer i believe this is the most important concept. I finally have a specific and measurable plan to try and execute and it works in every scenario. Thank you so much for this. This video is so good that I wonder why is it even free to watch. I d love to see more videos with tactics to create weak squares on the opponents defense and also how to avoid making them on my own defence. If he already has made such videos, please someone point them out to me.

I actually like these sort of videos even more than the tactical videos, because they reveal subtleties I've never realized before! I have such a hard time making the call between when I should be, say, pushing pawns forward or trying to set up tactics, versus making my way towards an outpost. It seems like I never find myself in a position where I can spend four knight moves landing an outpost! By the second move or so I find myself on my heels defending against an opponents attacks. You make it look easy sir! Fun vid.

I played a tournament game a week after watching this video and managed to set up a weak f6 square, trade dark squared bishop on f8 stopping my opponent from castling and put a knight on the f6 outpost protected by a pawn chain. That knight sat there for 22 moves, not attacking anything but completely dominating blacks territory. An “Octopus Knight” as Gary would say. While he was busy running his king to “safety” on the other side I tripled my rooks and queen and barrelled down the D file. Missed a pretty cool mate in 3 but I still got mate OTB a few moves later. I’m rated 1100 and my opponent was rated 1400, this was by far the best game I’ve ever played in my life. This video made something click for me and I cannot be more excited to keep learning more concepts bringing my game to the next level. I cannot thank you enough for helping me break through.
