I've been looking for Czech Pirc material so this is right up my alley. Great video.

[@TheChessGiant]

Nice! Ya the Czech Defense is a very strong option, and one that many don't even know exists. I'm excited to keep making content on it and thanks for tuning in!

[@briandwi2504]

First class analysis and very clear explanation of a game. Wonderful format, please keep them coming!

[@TheChessGiant]

Thanks Brian, and will do! Another Czech Pirc Defense game by Varuzhan Akobian coming soon!

[@richardlee-shanok5578]

Could you possibly give your recommendations on when to use the Czech pirc vs the standard pirc? Are there times when it's better to use one vs the other?

[@TheChessGiant]

This is a great question and a good video idea! I'll get thinking on this.

[@zenrando]

You are now my favorite chess coach! 😮 🎉🎉

[@TheChessGiant]

Dang. Well thanks for that. Humbled. Wishing you a great weekend!

[@zenrando]

I plan on using the Pirc next time at CHESS club. I have a felling it will do well. Right now, I'm using the London, but its to well know.

That was a very interesting game 👍 between two very strong players

[@TheChessGiant]

Agreed! Ya that f5 move by Michael Adams was something else.

[@lordhelps1]

Love your stuff. Make a course. Thank you!

[@TheChessGiant]

Thanks and yessir!

[@jaylenlenear3944]

that knight geometry tip was very interesting could be made into a short

[@walterbrownstone8017]

Interesting point about the example of moving the king out of check before opponent has the opportunity to check you. I watch an arena streamer on KZbin and he is always saying "what's the plan". Kinda like you said, high rated players are always looking for plans... For both sides. I'm still trying to learn that lesson.

[@TheChessGiant]

Hey Walter, ya totally. The better you get at chess, the more of a waiting game it (often) becomes. Nobody really good usually gets steamrolled in the first 10 moves. Instead, it's a slow process where both sides are (even when attacking) playing very calculated... improving pieces... stopping threats before they even happen... etc.

[@walterbrownstone8017]

@@TheChessGiant My biggest problem has always been not paying attention to every single move opponent makes. Eventually that's what does me in when I play it. I always make more blunders in the hippo than other openings but since I only play blitz the time advantage is very enjoyable.

Great Solomon!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thanks Alvaro! Michael Adams put on a clinic!

Hey Solomon, according to both the database and Stockfish this is the strongest and most commonly played line for white. 1. e4 d6 2. d4 Nf6 3. Nc3 c6 4. f4 Qa5 5. Bd3 e5 6. Nf3 Bg4 7. Be3 Could you cover it in a future video please?

[@TheChessGiant]

Thanks for putting this chess opening line on my radar! I made the following video years ago, and can't remember if I included the line or not.... but if you want some theory there is some in my original Czech Pirc Defense video. I'll leave the link just in case you're interested! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmjFdGx_npZ7hZY

[@MichaelReiter]

I would love to study a course on the Czech Pirc.

[@TheChessGiant]

Sweet Michael! Once I wrap up my Alekhine's Defense course, I'll get working on the Czech!

[@ralphgreenwood2469]

Yes we need that czech pirc course

[@TheChessGiant]

Thanks for letting me know you're interested in it Ralph! I will get working on it once I finish up my Alekhine's Defense course!

[@GeorgeEpting]

This game is amazing for the reason is they are both high level but they sat in the opening until black pushed that rook pawn which is the real start of the attack and then it just start to unfold as simple as that but most of the time you cant on an opening and expect it to work,this is what i see,im glad you showed this game more than to see the opening❤😊

[@TheChessGiant]

Ya that f5 move was amazing! Great game by Michael Adams. He used the Czech Pirc Defense to get a good middlegame position, and took it from there.

[@RobMitchell-o7h]

I have just completed your course on the Czech Defence. It's fantastic! Highly recommendable. One question! It can transpose to the Old Indian; which I feel is a little passive; do you have any ideas on any other options? Much respect, ēaHengest.

[@zeebest1004]

12:22 Bishop on d6?! (10:24)

[@TheChessGiant]

??

[@zeebest1004]

I meant 10:24 “holding the fort together”. I guess that’s a slip of the lip but I never know in chess at my level…

[@tikshot566]

Can you make a video about the Botvinnik English!

[@exuviumisopods]

Solomon, you should definitely make a course on Czech Pirc. We Pirc-freaks love you 😁

[@TheChessGiant]

Hahaha thanks for that, and noted!!

[@lewisbonnell2509]

Solomon, do you think the Four Knights Defense is still a good system to use today?

[@phillipbroughton3086]

Every time I put my queen on a5 they play bishop d2 and threaten a discovered attack

[@TipsyFlipper]

this is very in depth and I do like the defense, but if it was an animal what animal would it be?

[@TheChessGiant]

Hmmm very important question here. Hmm idk I am trying to think of what animals don't have a chess opening name yet... maybe the Black Bear Defense?

[@TipsyFlipper]

@@TheChessGiant thank you for taking this seriously. I do like the Black Bear defense. That fits. I can sleep now
