Chess Openings: Mikhail Tal's "Mad Dog" variation vs Pirc - Kill Black!

[@rycurtis9217]

Deserves a bigger audience. Great chess commentator.

[@IDillon0]

Great channel Mio, just realized you had one. Hope you continue to make great content!

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Thanks a lot and support us!

[@francoischevalier2151]

Deep opening understanding!!

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

My big friend :) Thanks for always kind words!

[@JayPatel-si6jv]

This is crazy stuff, I like it

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Jay Patel I appreciate your comment and I really enjoyed this variation for white, especially since it’s pretty unknown and has crazy name 🐶

[@ALCATRAAAZZ]

Great line, thanks! There are too many lines to crush the Pirc. I hope more players play the Pirc against me so I can try this variation.

[@nate8106]

Ive been so excited hanging found all these videos on your channel. I only knew about the chessbrahs and am a big fan of the 2 knights attack, and these gambit lines. I usually play the Austrian attack against the pirc and really liked your previous video on it. However when i saw pushing e5 leaving d4 hanging i was IN! Thanks a lot. Also i will be emailing you for a few lessons eventually.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

You’re welcome 😉 Thanks!

[@jslime]

I am loving your videos Butcher... thank you so much for posting these. KEEP THEM COMING!!!!

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

jslime Thanks bro! Keep watching and learning 💪

[@peterdove8952]

Just won a game in this variation - very cool. It's also an interesting lesson in learning to co-ordinate the minor peices. You have to make sure that you don't drop anything due to double attacks by the queen!

[@harrymills2770]

I often overlook - from both sides - the potential for wreaking havoc with the queen. Recent study has really helped improve in that regard. The Qb3 or ... Qb6 move... The Queen check followed by the capture of the greedy Knight on e4 in Alapin (or Smith-Morra, Evans) setups. Easy to overlook, for me. The Qf3 move attacks the h1-a8 diagonal and pressures the Knight on f6.

[@ImageSC1]

I got to play the queen sac line for the first time today and had a blast + quick win with it. I like having an alternative to the Austrian Attack available too + something that can catch Modern players who transpose in. Thanks!

28:50 The game wasn't actually played by Bent Larsen but apparently by some other Dane, a 2200-rated named Bo Richter Larsen.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Thanks on info!

[@artifactmoralltach2949]

Hmm..... As a pirc player you've given me a bit to consider in my opening preparation. Great work always 👌👌👌.

Artifact Moralltach Thanks a lot for support :)

[@artifactmoralltach2949]

@@MiodragPerunovicOfficial Hey better to see it over the board than in a rated tournament right? Lol. And considering your International Master status it surprises me that you are generous to do this analysis for free. I love your work, keep it up 👌.

me tooo.. im a pirc player as well

[@KancerKowboy]

Love all of your videos. Looking in to the caro kann as I see it more often at my 1100 rapid level lol

[@simsim4251]

As the wing Gambit it so much helpful to ill use this line, thanks

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Good point! Scores well in practice vs Pirc! Good luck with it! 👍

@@MiodragPerunovicOfficial thanks for the wing gambit, I had good record with that, thanks for your videos

[@michamotyka648]

I was looking at Leela-Stockfish games from TCEC and look what masterpiece I found! www.tcec-chess.com/archive.html?season=18&div=sf&game=13 Leela came for this queen sac and guess what happened... Man this could be really serious line against the Pirc if white plays correctly. Lc0 just crushed Stockfish with her human-like play :D

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Wow! Big big applause for you! Whenever you find something like this, let me know! Congrats Michal!! 💪😉👍

[@MrLeizing]

Waiting for grand prix videos very much!!

GPA vids should come soon...

Who knows Mad Dog 2? Engine-approved! e4 d6 d4 Nf6 Nc3 g6 Bc4 Bg7 Qe2 Nc6 e5 Bg4 and not the obvious f3, but bam! PxN! The other Mad Dog! Never played on Lichess - one time f3 was played...

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Haha, creative!

[@gmpillo604]

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Thanks a lot, I will check the list and come up with some vids from this list!

[@danjoelson1748]

Maybe I missed it but where is 6.e5 Ng4? Perfectly playable option instead of Nxd4 giving white exactly what he is booked up for. I have looked at these lines and please show me where you think white has a pull. Appreciate and great channel.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Could be that I missed it, thanks. Although, as far as I remember, if any Sg4 f4 solves the problem of e5 pawn and threatens h3 followed by g4 to restrict the Ng4-Nh6… White had to be more perspective there

[@danjoelson1748]

@@MiodragPerunovicOfficial So 1e4 d6 2. d4 Nf6 3. Nc3 g6 4. Bc4 Bg7 5. Qe2 Nc6 6. e5 Ng4 is my suggestion. Looks like whites best response is 7. Bb5 which is not so obvious when P-e6 is a more obvious response but really isn't that good after Nd4. Love your channel and keep up the great work. Regards, Dan

[@JayPatel-si6jv]

Which line is best for black?

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Jay Patel Theory says this one with Nc6, but I enjoy it for white very much

[@ulrichholzinger2447]

Great video, thank you very much ! But I miss the variation 5. ... e5 for Black. On club-level you find this move more often than 5. ... 0-0, which - in my opion - is a little bit dubios.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Will check it out and get back to you!

[@mayday7675]

I think I struggle after Bc4 with Nxe4, but other than that, I like this idea.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Dont get me wrong, I don’t know what you’re talking about, where Ne4 ?!

[@mayday7675]

@@MiodragPerunovicOfficial 1. e4 d6 2. d4 Nf6 3. Nc3 g6 4. Bc4 Nxe4 with the idea of d5 fork. Not exactly in this move order though, normally bishop is already on g7, but the fork kinda stopped me from playing Bc4 in these types of positions. Qe2 was a new move for me, and definitely seems to prevent that.

[@ashirvaljee8843]

This line is deadly, looks like a forced win for white!

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Ash learn these lines and play like Tal!

[@smontana840]

Thanks for the video, but too many ads

[@mrpizza6503]

the problem is nc6 e5 ng4

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Bb5 for White

[@mrpizza6503]

@@MiodragPerunovicOfficial yes but i feel like black already has gotten hes counter play he loves nh6 nf5 next And white didn’t get the type of position he expected like bb5 castle Whitehas to take c6 cause d4 and e5 are hanging bc now again the center is crunbling c5 is a threat so u have to play h3 nh6 and black has very nice and easy play. In practical terms Always choose black in the resulting position because it’s so hard to play different opinion?
