How is Pirc vs 1. e4 so different from King's Indian?

In the Pirc white usually plays in the center or on the king side, but in the KID white quite often closes the center down and attacks on the queen side with c4-c5 (one possibility). This idea doesn't make sense if the pawn is still on c2 blocked by the knight. The plans and the character of the game are completely different.

Bro you are the best! Seriously, I learned a lot from you. Like I remember it was September 1st 2024, the day I met your youtube channel. And let me tell you, I went from 1100 elo to 1300 elo (just did that today) in like just 18 days. Thanks man! I will be watching every video you ever published. Keep going! Deserved the 100k!

Alex, I am seriously considering buying your London course. But an honest question; why are the 10 hours of video so extremely expensive, when you have many dozens of amazing videos on this channel? What makes them so special? Will the course be that much worse if I buy it without the videos?
@treyrichardson3162

I bought it and it's worth the price. The reason it's better than YT videos because you get to play and learn the moves via the Chessable functions. Maybe purchase the lower priced one and save your money for his upcoming Jobava London course?

@@adolfohuet3974I was wondering about that myself… my counter will be that the video explains the logic and ideas behind moves the move trainer makes me just memorize I think watching the videos over and over and build the repertoire on lichess study is more effective than rely on memorizing and repeating moves without understanding…also as mentioned above jobava seems better specially when alex explain

I bought the video version and I think it is well worth the 200$. I’m only about 25% finished with the course and can say I feel pretty comfortable in just about any situation playing the jobava. I play a lot of Catalan also and many ideas cross over to other D4 openings. And I am a new player just learned to play on June 26 and got to 1100 so far pretty much solely because of Alex’s teaching

Congrats on 100k! I knew when you were under 10k you'd eventually hit this milestone based on your personality alone. At my local chess club I hear your name more and more. I would LOVE for you to make more videos on KID or Dragon theory, they're such fun openings like the Jobava and I think many of your subs would like it!

Congrats on 100k Alex. I started playing Chess around this time last year and feel that I’ve gained a much better understanding of positions because of your videos. I really only play the Caro and the Jobava and I’m hovering right around 900. I’d say my fatal flaw is doing dumb ass shit too fast sometimes 😂 cheers!
Hey, Alex. Love your content. Been watching since the days of "The Count". Glad to see how far your channel has come. In game 1, 10 ... Nc5 would have kept a slight advantage for you.

it's a matter of chosing the right pawn break while adapting to your opponent. It's a difficult opening to master, you are right on that tho. If you wanna play for a win with black...it's the best option available: www.365chess.com/game.php?gid=4257581 I had to win this game on demand to secure the IM title.

If I have to play d5, which line do I need against Jobava London, Richter Veresov attack and Von Popiel Gambit? - Instead of playing on the queen side, my opponent tries to break with f4 before I get to break with f5?
