Benefits of Playing Chess:
- Promotes brain growth
– Increases problem-solving skills

– 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.

I just played a quick game to improve my understanding but game ended draw without any blunders how to learn something from game like that?? Please help 🥺🥺
Cool as always! Waiting for a speed run or new videos on KIA
"Tactics IS in the air…" Robert makes the best out of it 👍🇨🇵
I have to revise getting in trouble with opp. Side castles…. Pirc is too tactical like the sicilian looks solid on the outside
Amazing game BTW and for honest review 🤣🤣🤣 🧠🧠
Flex it maestro! 2 brilliant moves 😉
Legend
Another great video. How do I halt my 150 point elo tilt?
Great game coach.
Hi, any chance we'll get videos on the benoni? I really like the opening and it's dynamic play, and might use it sometimes instead of the KID.
you are great man i learn from you the pirc and i improve a lot even with white i play a whole diferent op but still thanks man
Good to see the Pirc in action at a high level. Confirms the fact that it is a great, solid opening and that I am on the right track. I'm sticking with it.
Thanks Coach Robert! Another amazing video. Is there anyway you can show us some general defensive strategies to employ in the Pirc when the opponent goes berserk and tries to shove their flank pawns down our throat in an all out attack? I seem to get in trouble when they come at me like a mad-man. Same thing happens to me in the KID sometimes.
Is it necessary to start chess from the early age.if we start from the age from 20's can we succeed. Please help.
Please caro can
hello my coach😍, I just wanted to comment to show support for your hard work for us your viewer🥳
I have been a Pirc player for life. I made USCF National Master with it, and won my state's Open Championship. I taught it to my high school chess team and they won two state championships with it. Thank you for leading the charge !!
Thank you Robert for the great lessons. I have started chess with your lessons, I am using pirc kid and kia as my main opening. I was stuck on 1000~1100 level for a while. I have recently managed to level up to 1200~1300 ratings. With win rate 54%. I wanted to share some tips of how I leveled up!
1. Started to read books
– it is really hard for a starter to actually read books. I open lichess study and move everything down (even the comments and ideas). It helped me with memorizing and understanding ideas better.
2. I only play 30 minute games, max 1~2 games a day.
– i quit playing 10 minute games since i noticed i need more time to reason and think on my moves. Plus 10min and 30min games are both considered rapid on chess.com! Why not spend a bit more for a better thought process and win!
3. I stopped trading everything (especially queens)
– i used to trade everything cz i was scared. I somehow had a better chance of using more tactics with the queen. Constant practice and watching Roberts lessons repetitively helped alot.
4. Play against Antonio (1500) computer
– I think this is one of the best tips I have (at least for this level) play black against him. He will play the classic variation or Austrian attack for you! Although the opening is only 10% of the game, having a solid opening will give you more confidence in the middle game. You will kinda know what type of middle game you will get by practicing the same opening.
5. Of course watch Roberts video.
– i guess i dont need any explanations for this.
Thank you Robert for the great lessons. Wish you the best 👍
Thanks, I learnt a lot!
That other guy, Tato, he's really good too

I have noticed between other chess coaches . not everyone plays these moves in the same order. I like your reasoning thought it helps me conceptualize what I need to remember why something is a better move.
I got a brilliant move once and honestly thought it was a blunder at the time 😅
The weakness of the engine's analysis, I believe, is that it rates a move as inaccurate on the assumption that the opponent will make an engine-level move. Imagine if the engine rated in the context of the opponent's level. Oh well, it holds you to a higher level.
your king of chess like magnus because 3 inaccuracy in a row magnus played 3 blundera in row
At the 1000 rating level I got 2 brilliant moves in one game and found mate in 5 !! I consider that my best game so far. Also, thanks for all the incredible lessons you provide it has made a huge difference in my chess improvement
Please send me the playlist to pirc defense …
