Solomon, just wanted to thank you. Your videos on the Pirc helped me break 1200 Blitz today.

@grenadegrega1303 2 years ago

I love these ideas. I feel like I run into the Byrne more than classical or Austrian and i needed something like this. Thanks!

this makes me want to study Czech Pirc

I can't thank you enough for this, you are an amazing chess teacher!

@williamsmith8640 3 years ago

This was perfect timing, just a few weeks ago I started learning a little bit about the Pirc Defense and the Czeck Pirc

@kajuanweaver1607 3 years ago

The Pirc is really awesome, i love the attacking ideas. Thanks Solomon!

@viewer-i5o 2 years ago

Awesome! Now I know what to look for against the Pirc when using the Byrne variation from the white side. lol

In all seriousness, amazing video! I watch a lot of chess content and a solid and thorough video like this on chess openings is very rare. Thanks!

Thanks very much Sir

@sbrons1 3 years ago

Excellent video. I typically play positionally early in the PIRC, but have trouble with that strategy against the Byrne, so I loved this. Some of it was familiar but a lot was new.

@jarrodthekidder1 3 years ago

Thank you sooo much dude.

4:23 its like Levy says " PP on the PP." (put pressure on the pinned piece)

@TheRampax 3 years ago

Lots of great ideas here, thanks Solomon. I find the Byrne Variation comes up a LOT these days. Some of these lines look wild.

this opening looks really fun

Great video! Been waiting for this, but it was worth the wait. I have to admit, the Byrne has caused me to stop playing the Pirc. I felt I was getting steamed rolled in these positions. I like h6 (I have always castled), but never thought of just leaving my opponents bishop there on h4 and delay castling. I like the knight on h5 (again, never played it). I always retreated the knight. Maybe that why I was getting steamed rolled. I always was retreating in this line and could never get the counter play on the queen side. There was a lot of new lines here for me to unpack. Thanks again.
