How to play Pirc Defense 

That is on the list! And Reti with white to keep the same style.

Thanks a lot. Kings Indian Speedrun sounds spicy 🌶

Thanks buddy! Not a pirc player either, but doing my best haha

@@AlexBanzea Thank you for all the great content. It helped me score my biggest win so far in the chess league (90+30). A lil rookie FIDE 1539 playing as black vs. 1942 😂 We've got no more team matches till October - which I kind of like because it gives me a chance to improve my game more with your upcoming course in ~August.

he's a very good player but online blitz is very different to playing rated classical games OTB to earn your GM norms.

Thanks a lot! Glad to help ❤️

In the pirc the knight is in front of the c-pawn and it gives white the chance to play more agressive set-ups with f4 or Be3-Qd2 and 0-0-0

Thanks for tuning in!

That is correct, I checked it after the game!

That’s an interesting way of seeing it. But what if white plays 1.e4 Nc6 2.d4 lets say?

@@AlexBanzea On d4 there's mainly 2...d5 and 2...e5. I prefer e5 but it has some problems like 3.dxe5 when black has lost a lot of center control or 3.Nf3 transposing back into a Scotch. But I think that white usually does 2.Nf3 thinking that black plays 2...e5 transposing back into mainlines, but instead we play d6 there. 1...Nc6 is just still my favorite opening so I still play it but I might start learning something like the French again soon because of some of the problems Nc6 has.
