This Week's ChessVideos Show: How Not to Play the Pirc, Part 1
This week's show is based on an old loss of mine in a Classical Pirc. I omitted one little move, and had to pay the price for it. (And worse still, seemingly the whole world got to see it!) On the other hand, my opponent - the then-talented, now retired Adam Lief - won a very nice game.

So have a look here - the show is free and available on-demand for the next month or so - for an attractive and instructive game. And stay tuned for next week's show, when we'll see that the game is even more interesting and instructive than we might have imagined!

Thanks Dennis! Both for the Pirc show (which I've not watched yet, but it can't be anything other than great) and for the two Bronstein shows. I have recently started playing the Pirc, so I'm eagerly looking forward to the second episode. As for the two Bronstein shows, I am especially grateful to you, cause I'm the same person as "Andishmand" on the ChessVideos site. ;)
