* Advantages of playing Pirc Defense
1 – It’s a schematic play since in most of the cases Black develops the pieces no matter what White does.
2 – Great Line if you need to Win with Black (because usually, it leads to unbalanced positions).
3 – There is a Psychological advantage for Black, as it gives white a false impression of safety, often White overextends, and Black turns tables and wins.
4 – It’s versatile because Pirc Setup works basically vs any line White can play, and also flexible since you can choose among different setups with breaks over e5, c5, b5.

Are there any gambit for PIRC

BORING USELESS WASTE OF TIME
some of the moves are made too fast to see even at 50% speed
Good video
Excellent video on Pirc Defence .. thanks
Best
very well done. I have had white push e5 after black plays nf6, I am black. What is the best retort. Because I have had three games in a row that have done this, Catches me off guard. What say you
Sensei
Excellent explanation. Subbed and added to my list of favorite chess instructors.
Excellent. He covered a lot of material.
Best opening explanation of the Pirc that I've seen! Covered a lot with good examples. Looking forward to watching this again and again!
Learnt a lot. You have taken a lot of trouble to explain tactics. It helps us improve
Sir I need more video on pirc defence more variation
I wish you've covered the Geller System of the Pirc, which I find the most difficult to face. But overall, great video.
Right
This was excellent
At 18:46 why doesn't white go Rd8 threatening mate and preventing mate as well.
Very nicely done.
I'm trying to learn this defense and you've helped me understand it greatly.
Love the video 💪💪💪
Fantastic video. Muchas gracias, Michechess!
This was a good, real good.
is kings indian defence and pirk defence not the same thing?
It's not pronounced "perk". It's "peerts".
Good presentation here…the puzzles at the end were useful [I got them out too!] …well done!
Great explanation. Thank you!
What about when pawn forks the knight and pawn on e4 on the 3rd or 4th move?
Cool music at the enda
Thanks
I try always the PIRC when playing black BUT mostly WHITE will push to E5 almost immediately to break the rhythym of play!
I'm here now because aimchess said I'm doing bad in pirc defense classical variation lol
20:20: What if White plays 1.a3? Is there anything better than 1…Bxc3ch 2. Kf1 Qa5 3. Bxe4? Black gets a pawn out of it and White's King is in an awkward position but that's it. Thanks.
Thank you. I love playing the Pirc because it always creates asymmetrical positions
7:14 I can't find it.
I get it! Clearance move, followed by a discovered attack, picking up the lose queen on the jung square.
As a 700, most people I play against can’t counter this.
You and Robert Ramirez have me loving the Pirc!
Great lesson! A question though: In the video at 24:32, am I seeing a black pawn take a black knight?
