If you play the Pirc defense as Black, then I am sure you have had to face the Byrne variation. By the end of this lesson, you will know exactly what to do at all times and you will be looking forward to your next game against this variation. I had waited so long to cover the Byrne variation because I needed you guys to get to explore and experiment with the different ideas of the Pirc we have learned so far in other lessons. But now it is time to add another tool to our Pirc repertoire!

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.

#suggestion Robert when you start on the Sicilian I'd love if you could break down the Hyper Accelerated Dragon because it's one of my main defences. I sometimes get in trouble so I must be doing something wrong. Also, I like both of the Pirc options in this vid - but probably prefer bringing the knight back to d7. Lovin your vids mate.
@NMRobertRamirez
@NMRobertRamirez 3 года назад
Thank you so much for your feedback. It helps a lot! Most people prefer the Nfd7 variation, but it is always good to have the other one in case we need to surprise someone who knows us well. Besides, we learn more Chess in general by using both. Regarding the Sicilian, we will certainly go over the Accelerated Dragon, but I like to teach the Sicilian in a specific order so that it is easier to digest. We will eventually cover most of the variations, but it will take a while. It is bad because it might take longer to get to the variation you play, but you might also like another variation. Plus, learning the Sicilian step by step might help you identify if you are doing something wrong with the Accelerated Dragon. Hope this makes sense and by the way, thank you for supporting the channel! 🙌

...Nfd7 is without question my preferred variation. It allows the King to castle, keeps the pawn structure balanced, and as you say it's more suitable for playing to win. The alternative with ...dxe5 and ...Ng4 seems positionally jumbled to say the least. Thanks as always for your great instruction and keep on truckin.' Cheers!

@matrioskarlo 2 месяца назад
Damn, those variations are both very interesting. Even if the second option can make me more familiar with the austrian attack, a variation that i haven’t studied yet, i think that i prefer the first one as a 1600 elo player, because by one hand is potentially full of mortal traps for opponents around my level, and by the other hand it brings me closer to the endgame, that is the chess part where i’m stronger

I missed this video totally, even though I was watching your videos in their order. I usually after pawn to g6 I develop my other knight (Nd7) to have a support. And only after that I do fianchetto the bishop (Bg7). Perhaps in that order there's a better protection against the threatening Byrne with pawn to f4 and all that coming?

Hello NM Robert! I have been a student of yours for a few years and have watched most of your videos on KID, Pirc, KIA, Reti. What I like most about making the decision I made a few years back to play those openings exclusively, is what I can tell my opponent - "Doesn't matter what opening you want to play, you are playing my favorite opening, I am not playing yours!" Decades of being ambushed in the Sicilian, getting into an unwanted transposition from the Sicilian to the French, or vice versa, sucked into a blackhole of an unfamiliar gambit line, I was playing at 1600-1700 for over 30 years. Now I play at 1900-2000+. Thanks for your instruction. As far as the Byrne Variation, I don't like that move 4. Bg4 Everytime my opponent plays that I play 4...h6. I like the fianchettoed Bishop and many players of the white pieces want to move Qd2 and Bh6 forcing an exchange of bishops. Many players will play Bxf6. I like that.

@@NMRobertRamirez Outstanding video, as always. Here’s what I don’t understand. In the 150 attack video, you said it’s best not to even castle king-side, or to delay it, and to start your own queen side attack using c6 as a leverage pawn, anticipating an opposite-side castling attack race. That was the plan when white’s dark-square bishop goes to e3. Isn’t it the same consideration though when the dark-square bishop comes to g5 (Byrne)? Isn’t the idea still for the white queen to get on that same diagonal and go remove your fianchettoed bishop (like in the 150)? Why is black’s plan now different? Like, why do we here (in Byrne) fianchetto that bishop? If white goes to remove it with the queen-bishop battery, haven’t we just wasted a move fianchettoing that bishop?

@waterjabbers1159
@waterjabbers1159 3 года назад
So I just found your channel and I've only seen a few lessons so far, but I love playing the Pirc as black. This is a line that's given me a lot of trouble. What I like is that you take the time to explain moves that aren't the best moves. At my level I see a LOT of people that make mistakes, but I only find out that it was a mistake after the game. It may seem like you're getting off track, but for casual players like me it's extremely helpful because it shows us the mistakes and we know how to exploit them. As for my variation my instinct says that I like shifting my knight because it gives me more attacking options in the middle game, but I've played around a bit with the bong cloud as a goof and non-castling versions of the london, and if you've removed the queens it's really not scary. I'll give it a try next time I get the chance. Also, there's a black variation of the Chech Pirc that doesn't castle and attacks the king side aggressively, but the only video I've found is pretty old and I found it tough to set up because the theory has changed a bit. You're Pirc lesson sets it up perfectly though, so now I have another Pirc variation I can play in situations where my opponent castles early.
@NMRobertRamirez
@NMRobertRamirez 3 года назад

I prefer Nfd7 because i think it's more comfortable playing with the queen and the king can castle. But after you said it is okay to trade queen early in this variation, i feel more comfortable too 😅 but i don't know if it's okay to leave the king uncastled in another cases. I'm gonna think twice i guess, or you can give more examples like this. Thank you so much

I'm trying to play this defense now in a game against my brother and I think I prefer the knight variation. The other may be very powerful but it is master level and we're amateurs (amateurs who suckled chess from our dad, who was a local 1st category champion in his youth but amateurs anyhow). I count in my bro's aggresive errors to win rather than in perfect mastery of mid-term exquisite calculations. But good lesson anyhow.

Hello Robert, thanks for this very important lesson. I always play the pirc and a lot of times meet the byrne variation. I prefer the Nd7 after e5. The other variation when d6xe5, I feel can get me into trouble if I do a wrong move. Nd7 is more familiar and seems to me more safe. Of course this is my opinion...

Players like Carlsen and Grischuk play the Byrne variation with success against other GMs. I wouldn't call it "not effective." I'd say its a pretty dangerous reply to the Pirc. Anyway, nice analysis. Thanks!

Instead of 10 B-c4, 10 B-b5 means black must suffer three more isolated pawns, or have no square from which to bring out the knight.

Since you asked, I prefer the variation that does not involve the queen trade, which might not be a disadvantage in the hands of a master but may place mere mortals at risk, especially against aggressive opponents. I'd take the white pieces against this position against a similarly rated player as this to me seems more prone to mistakes on the black side :)
