Yeah, Levy has a Kingâs Indian climb where lots of players start with e4. Itâs the same setup, just called the Pirc (and with different plans). He points it out but doesnât dive into the differences. Thatâs because Levyâs video was an intro aimed at beginners, just trying to give them a sense of the opening so they can survive to the middle game.
@@andrewucla Yeah i know what the pirc is. You can play the Pirc or the Modern off of e4. I play the modern, havenât learned the Pirc yet. Thatâs why he made that face immediately. The thing is theyâre played very differently from the KID. The setup ends up being the same but the move order is different, when you play Nf6 is different, and your overall strategy is different. So Levy wasnât wrong and he knew what he meant but at first he said you can do the KID against anything the second time he correct said you can use the same SETUP against anything. Unfortunately for this person they didnât pick up on that subtle difference. They also clearly werenât paying attention and just making the moves. It shouldnât have been THAT bad.

He also talks about trading your bishop for their knight if you see it come out in order to prevent that . Knight can't move once pinned to queen and if they attack with pawn just make the trade. (Side note I'm low level but play KID and pretty sure I recall to do that but I could be wrong)

The King's Indian was the first opening I learned. My dad taught it to me and I've since learned playing offence is a good rebuttal. He moved his rook over one after castling, I forked his king and rook, pinned a pawn, and checkmated him with a Knight real quick
@@patrickimperial579 yes but that's not what happened here this guy literally ignored everything else and just auto moved, which Levy has said is bad idk how many times
I agree. The KID pawn on c4 vs the Pirc pawn on c2 make much more difference than it appears. Black can advance queen side pawns to chase the knight in the Pirc which isn't possible in KID.
I always think about what reaction Hikaru would have watching Levy's tutorials đ. My whole opinion of him changed after the video "GMs cried trying to solve this" (and i also realized how deep this rabbit hole can go).
This is just a very advanced Gambit. You loose some important pieces here and there, dont have mid-control and you havent developed any pieces... but you did castle first and with that you bring your king more away from the middle so it cant be attacked that easily. And just like that youre gonna win with this crazy advantage.
This is such a masterfully crafted chess meme, LOL The foreshadowing, then the goofy music, then the missed pawn, then the missed fork, and finally, hanging a queen, and finally the ending. This guy has comedy talent.

Levy's sub remembered 5 moves of theory.
He should win by default for that...
I mean, you can technically play the King's Indian at any time, just not sure if you should.
Smooth
In levyâs video, he specifically stated that you can play the kingâs Indian against anything apart from e4. But it got cut out for the joke
He said you could play it, he didnt say it would be a good choice.
I hear the vine boom noise when Hikaru raises his eyebrow
I can hear the vine booms already
Really nice to see my video made that far on the web :D (the original creator of the clip what Hikaru reacts on)
You straight said "oh no, my queen"
Nice
Nice video
Can you post the link? I canât find it
No one cares lul /s
If you find out that a meteor would crash into earth, you can still play the King's Indian!
