Fantastic, as always Robert! Yes, I love the Nf6 to d7 best; very disruptive for white and a non-typical side line that will likely burn a lot of the opponents' clock time trying to figure out what's going on. I'm a 1900ish hardened Dragon player and this Nf6>d7 line immediately appeals to me: opens potential tactics and gets black active before white has had a chance to develop. Your format is great; maybe a combination but your exceptional teaching ability isn't something for us "students" to critique...honestly. I think we're all just happy to be listening and learning from you, regardless.

Thanks again so much! 1. probably c6 because i'm used to the 150 + pirc. 2. a few comments: for players around my level (1900 lichess blitz), i think one large hole (of many hah) in our game is forming middle game plans. i really liked your first KID video where you covered the Kasparov game and your own. i also appreciate the engouragement to write studies and explore openings on our own. i've only done a study for the KID so far and it has helped me better remember what kinds of things i should look for in my games. i do think it's helpful when you cover full games, though, as you can point out consequences of the opening moves later in the game. your commentary and insight is something i don't get from exploring openings myself, where i might not understand why certain things are done and also miss common traps that don't get played by strong players. PS. I like that you're showcasing some of the good on lichess lately. chess . com is very aggressive in pressuring people to spend money, teasing reduced features and keeping the most useful stuff behind paywalls. besides that, i do think lichess is more pleasant and less buggy as well (though it has fewer players and especially fewer strong players). anyways, thanks again for the insights and looking forward to the next in the KID family!

Thanks for another great video! (Sorry, I'm very behind in watching these, but catching up.) I like the Nfd7 line you showed but I have two questions. 1. When you play ...Bh6 to challenge the bishop on e3, White could play Bf2, keeping the dark-squared bishop. Would you castle short there? 2. Suppose after ...Bh6 he plays Bxh6 Qh4+ g3 Qxh6 Qd2 Qxd2+ Kxd2 a5 bringing us to the 8:00 mark in the video. Can't White play Bh3 there to get rid of his very bad bishop? We can't stop him from trading it off, right? I wonder what our plan becomes then. In any case, I love how you talk about long-range strategy in all of your opening videos. This really makes it possible for people like me, who don't have time to memorize lots of theory, to play these openings with confidence!

If you think about there is a similar strategy in a variation of the Nimzoindian where you change the dark bishop for the knight on c3 and then you put every pawns on dark squares. It's not the same, I know, but it reminds me a little. Btw I like and enjoy your course, and the way you teach. I appreciate these series about opening where you explain plans more than explain move by move. You already do it when upload videos when you play online. It would be awesome if you can comment and analyse with us your games or famous games of great players that played this opening, but I know that you have to spend a lot of time for that.. anyway you're awesome and this channel is awesome.

The secret weapon is good for a surprise, but the computer hates it and it doesn't score well. And it ends up trading off your fianchettoed bishop anyway, which is their goal by setting up a Queen-Bishop battery. And it doesn't work if they play Qd2 before you can play Bh6. Can you do a deep-dive video on the mainline 0-0 variation? I usually play 0-0 then c5. You're the best teacher out there - would love a video on it! Thanks!

I know you did this video a while ago but I wanted to include my thoughts anyway . I like the c6 and Qa5 move order better because it’s consistent with how to create counter play on the queenside which can be applied to other variations. However the other line is good practice for playing without the queen. On move 16 Bd3 doesn’t make sense. White just volunteers to put his bishop behind blocked pawns. 16 Bh3 is a far better move getting rid of the bad bishop, and then it’s a game.

Hey NM Robert thanks so much for the content I subscribed. Could you please answer these questions about KID, preferably in your videos 1. In all KID variations where you play e5 to break the centre, what do you do when the oppponent neither captures no move the pawn forward. Do you capture the pawn yourself or keep the tension as long as possible 2. Also please make videos on these other variations that we face most with KID 1. Averbakh variation 2. Fianchetto variation 3. London system 4. 4 Pawn attack 5. Also variation where the opponent doesn't play a samish, but right from the start plays h4 and gives us a warning he will not castle king side, I'm bit baffled by this variation because I have already fianchettod my bishop to king side and commited to that side even though I have not castled. Here sometimes white sacrifices their rook if I capture their expanded h5 pawn with my knight. We get this lot on lichess games 3. In KID lets say you castled king side already too early and opponent tries to pawn storm you on that side. How do you block it most efficiently? Thanks a lot.

Hello! It is certainly a good plan! I would recommend you review games where masters have used it and see if you like it 👍

Thanks for another great video! I wonder what you recommend against 6.Bg5 after 5.Nfd7 in the sämisch? Then 6...e5 is not possible and the Bishop-trick on h6 doesn't work. Maybe ...c6 is still good? Or ...a4?

Excellent question, Anne! I have never faced Bg5 in this position to be honest, but it is true it could be a little annoying if it takes us by surprise. My first instinct is to understand what's different about Bg5. It looks like the d4 pawn (square) is not so well guarded as when the bishop was on e3, so Nc6 is a move that comes to mind. With that said, h6 makes sense too. Thanks a lot for bringing it up and for all your support 👍😎

@@NMRobertRamirez Thanks a lot! I just got the 6.Bg5-reply several times in a tournament on lichess, I guess anything can happen on my level, hehe. But now I know what to do next time!

My only plan was c6(try and open the c file. ). Swap dark bishop if I could. I like your early Queen moves. Its like you are taking the game to White. I prefer the Nd7 line. As an intermediate sort of player. I still get caught in the beginners mindset of don't move same piece in the opening. I guess here its ok blocked centre?). Also early Queen moves are considered poor. Looking forward to trying Nd7. I guess its worth a pawn to have a strong piece against a weak one?.

Hello Carl! Let me know how it goes when you try it 👍 By the way, what do you mean by "it's worth a pawn to have a strong piece against a weak one"? Are you referring to a specific part of the video? I just want to make sure give you a proper answer 😎

Thanks for the quick reply. In the example game. Black go's a pawn down. In order to get the good Nd5 against bad Bishop. I know the engine said equal. With pieces getting traded etc. I would have been reluctant to give up a pawn in the endgame. The good knight against bad bishop is good compensation for the pawn?. Hope that makes sense.

@@carlbinch898 Yes, absolutely! I was going to say it typically makes sense to sac a pawn in order to get a superior piece before asking this, but I still wanted to make sure.
