  • great vid as usual Sean . I got a question though around the 7th minute in the variation where the queens fall off why is bishop h6 winnig for white ?

    For those who want to learn more on the pirc madcapslaugh also has a couple of good videos on it .

    Cheers

  • Hiya, and thanks. Yes, Bh6 is crushing - and because white is winning a lot of material. Black's only move to avoid mate is Rf8 (the threat from white being Nf6 and g7) to which white can respond in a number of winning ways, the best being Rd1, followed by black playing Be6 and then Re1from white for a winning advantage; well over four pawns. Hope this helps!

    All thes best,

    Sean

  • A bit clearer it is , thanks Sean . I got as far as calculating that white might win the exchange after the forced Rf8 and than march his queenside pawns cause blacks king is in the opposite corner .

    I`ve watched ALL your videos in a few days and am going for a second run :D The miniatures are great . Keep em comin !

  • Wow! That's awesome man! Glad you are enjoying them. More coming soon!

    All the best,

    Sean

see all

  • the pirc defence sucks... end of story, everytime i play or see some1 play that defence they lose 

  • at 4:50.. instead of Qe7 what about d5 right away?

  • in 7:58 what about queen takes h7, after king f6 we have queen to h4 !,g7 Qxe7! its mate in 2 i think neither way.

  • nice commentary i always look forward to your new videos

  • Another great video, Sean. Thanks.

  • Great vid Sean. I agree, from watching Majnu play the Pirc I think you really have to know your stuff with it. Seems to be very sharp, but he often gets away with it in his games. Great analysis, I like being able to see what would happen if different choices are made at key points in the game. Cheers.
