Ultra-Aggressive Opening Against the Pirc Defense - TRAPS INCLUDED 

If you play 3. f3 - avoiding the main line - you may catch some Pirc players off guard, but the downside is they haven't committed their dark-squared Bishop to the fianchetto, so they could shift toward center play with 3...e5 4. d5 Be7. If you keep the main line 3. Nc3 g6, then they've committed g7 for their Bishop. THEN 4. f3 followed by Be3/Qd2/O-O-O is called the "150 Attack." Pirc players may be a bit more prepared for it, but you waited for them to commit to the fianchetto.

Hey Nelson, could you cover the Rousseau Gambit? It comes out of the Italian Game when Black plays F5 on their third move.

Vasja Pirc was my grand grand father. my grandpa (his son) is teaching me chess.

When white goes for that sort of set up, I would probably go for the Czech Pirc, or delay castling kingside, and perhaps castle queenside.

Love your videos, Nelson. 🙏

That was extremely helpful Maestro. Thank you. Im trying to resurrect my game and am rusty and at a tremendous disadvantage in that Im not as versed as many regarding technology. However I got to 2100 with very little tutoring and looking forward to studying the basic laws of chess that failed to learn as a youngster when I chose music over "chess" as a way of life, keeping chess as a hobby....What can I say?!...Ever the practical Lad LOL I am ever so grateful for this RU-vid channel, as it wasnt even around when I was playing chess seriously. Thats how "old" I am....But I intend to get my "Experts" title as I believe thats a reasonable goal, having defeated enough Experts and IMs to justify such an ambitious design. What I need is a "Teacher"....Thanks again Cheers. PS. Stay just as you are, the world, especially the "Chess" world has enough prima donnas in it and as a result you Sir stand out rather nicely

Please make more openings vibes 😊

Some nice attacking ideas, though I think the traps in the byrne variation (Nc3 Bg5) with 5.e5 are more practical.

Pls make more of these opening videos

“This is what they have been programmed to do” 😂 somebod does not like the opening!

I play the Pirc quite a bit, someone just played the Lions Jaw against me and it was a nightmare. I now play this against the Pirc in blitz. It all just flows together naturally. Cheers Nelson. Get well soon man.

Pirc is pronounced like “Peerts.” Also, interesting opening. I’ve been playing f4, the Austrian Attack, instead of f3.

I know this as the 150 attack. As black, soon as I see f3 or Be3, it's a queen side pawn storm for me.

Thank you very much sir

Cool thumbnails on this and the snake/English video! 👍👍

This is an amazing video actually. I came here after the engine said the opening was Pirc defense, lions jaw and I was like noway this had a name do I came here to check what's up and I wasn't disappointed! We love you Nel. ❤

If you combine the knowledge of the elephant gambit and the lion's jaw opening it gets really though to counter just saying that other opening's can be another opening's back up plan :)

just won my first game with this today, works like a charm ✨ 👍🏽

nelson could you cover the budapest gambit?

Can you use the same idea against the Kings Indian Attack?

Its playable but too easy to counter and if black knows how to defend, which isn't hard to learn in this line, and white gave up his advantage for nothing. Maybe this is good for quick games. Would not recommend for OTB classical.

Your latest thumbnails are on the next level, You must be using AI in very creative way. Keep it up , I love your videos.

I play the Pirc (pronounced like pierce but with tz) and I think you've missed something important, which is 3. f3 Nbd7 and later not Bg7 but Be7. The main setup allows white to initially claim a big center but then plays to undermine it with moves like c6 and a6/b5.

Sometimes the strange move is the hidden killer move.

as a pirc player who dont know about lions jaw man it was really scary to play against it but now i can

I just checkmated my opponent using this line against the Pirc. H4 was an inaccuracy. Lol

hey chess vibes, a 1000 elo chess player this side. Can you tell me what animation, chess pieces and board do you use? Thank you.

RU-vid question: You've really upped your Thumbnail game! Are you using an AI generator? Which one?

I prefer to develop more pieces before attacking.

day 2 of asking, a great video idea would be that you have to beat martin but he has two kings you have to checkmate. great video very useful!

10:32 Is taking the e6 pawn not stranger that playing g5? And I know no opponent rated over 500 who would give that pawn away without there being a reason.

And then he sacrifices THE ROOOOOOOOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The problem here is that, at 3:31, most well prepared Pirc players are not going to fianchetto the bishop, and are instead going to begin an immediate queenside pawn storm, preparing for White to castle long.

Thanks Nelson.. The Lion's Jaw reminds me of the Saemisch King's Indian, but white hasnt committed c4.. This could be a better variation, since black can't attack the pawn with b5

Can I play this against the modern?

I discovered this line by accident right before my lesson for chess club. The kids loved it because the name sounds cool, it works, it has good results, and it's aggressive. Interesting that you found it as well.

Claw or jaw, both are sharp. Play sharp, play smart, play the Lions Jaw :)

how come he didn't say "take care" in the end as usual 😂

I wonder how the Lion's Jaw would work against any other 1...d6 response by black? Like the Karo-Cann...

Who comes up with these exotic names for openings?

How do I submit my game? Someone was pissed once XD

What if they play 3...e6 thought?

I don't fianchetto the bishop when I play the pirc I play the black lion defense out of the pirc

what if I play pirc defense: czech defense?

Qg5 is wining move we sacrificed our rook and take black knight

And then he sacrifices THE QUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm always or most do piece defense🤔

I feel like I’ve played this with white before.

Kewl!

Beginners like Ben Feingold?

All the Pirc players are offended that you pronounced it wrong, and that you said we don't like to think, including me! lol jk. If you're watching this you'll definitely catch a few Pirc players off guard, but be prepared for the lines other lines as well, just in case. Thanks, Nelson, for helping me not fall for this trap. 🙂
