WEBVTT 00:00.960 --> 00:01.620 Hi there. 00:01.650 --> 00:05.010 In this lecture, we see a young Gary Springer, 1976. 00:05.130 --> 00:06.630 Spry was only 13 years old. 00:06.630 --> 00:08.880 Here he's playing against the Putin. 00:09.240 --> 00:12.910 So the Putin plays D4, Prof plays F6. 00:12.990 --> 00:14.330 So this is a need to blitz it. 00:14.340 --> 00:16.950 Woman's round two of 1976. 00:16.950 --> 00:18.570 C For Putin. 00:18.690 --> 00:23.670 G six We go into a king's end and the fence and the summit variation of free. 00:24.030 --> 00:28.460 We have noisy sex Bishop e free a six queen D ₹2. 00:28.470 --> 00:34.650 So this looks like fairly standard King's and the fence play E5 is kept in reserve until the right moments. 00:34.650 --> 00:37.680 B5 is now in reserve as well. 00:38.280 --> 00:40.620 If given the opportunity, this might be interesting. 00:41.370 --> 00:52.620 We see rook b one smile of castles b4 and here e5 is played D5 and now 94. 00:52.650 --> 00:57.030 This is justifiable in this possession from the King Center Knight G2 is played. 00:57.030 --> 01:01.530 If Bishop takes D4, he takes D4 Queen takes D4. 01:01.530 --> 01:02.430 What would you play here for? 01:02.430 --> 01:03.300 Ten points. 01:05.440 --> 01:05.980 Yeah. 01:06.550 --> 01:07.580 I hope you can spot the link. 01:07.600 --> 01:07.920 Thanks. 01:07.930 --> 01:11.200 E for this would be very exploiting. 01:11.200 --> 01:13.900 You know, the bishop very expensive of the bishop and the knight. 01:14.500 --> 01:15.700 If Queen takes evil. 01:15.700 --> 01:20.080 Yeah, we will pen the queen also of note instead of Bishop takes the fall. 01:20.500 --> 01:22.750 It would be a bad idea to play Bishop H sinks. 01:22.750 --> 01:23.740 Can you see why? 01:23.780 --> 01:27.280 There's a tactic here which prevent this prevents this. 01:27.280 --> 01:31.660 This is all about the King Center, often trying to do active operations. 01:31.660 --> 01:35.050 With the king still in the center, they backfire. 01:35.560 --> 01:38.740 So here there is a bit of a backfire tactically. 01:39.010 --> 01:39.730 Okay. 01:39.940 --> 01:42.130 It takes E-4 hits the queen. 01:42.880 --> 01:49.480 And this is unfortunate because saying F takes E4 Queen H for check and this is just a great position 01:49.480 --> 01:50.140 for Plank. 01:50.860 --> 01:55.960 So, okay, we have nine g, E two and now C five. 01:56.560 --> 01:59.800 So we have detained C six, B take six. 01:59.800 --> 02:02.350 So why has Smurf sacked a pawn here? 02:02.770 --> 02:04.270 What's the meaning of this? 02:05.410 --> 02:07.180 Has it livened up the black pieces? 02:07.180 --> 02:12.700 Well yes, we have rookie eight, Bishop two and now C five. 02:14.080 --> 02:22.000 B take C5 and now a super accurate move is played in this position. 02:25.810 --> 02:27.700 So can you see what that is here? 02:33.890 --> 02:34.200 Okay. 02:34.220 --> 02:35.480 Very, very interesting night. 02:35.510 --> 02:36.680 Thanks, E-4. 02:37.610 --> 02:39.880 So this works in a very interesting way. 02:39.890 --> 02:44.900 If Rook takes B one check, 96 b1d take five. 02:45.290 --> 02:47.900 White can just play this with advantage. 02:47.900 --> 02:49.160 There's no big deal here. 02:50.450 --> 02:53.270 So that's an any knight takes E4. 02:53.300 --> 02:54.560 The thing is, Queen H four. 02:54.560 --> 02:55.850 Check this position. 02:57.260 --> 03:04.250 Queen St's e4 Y actually has a very nasty trick here. 03:04.670 --> 03:06.140 Guess what one can play here. 03:10.220 --> 03:15.590 Why can I actually just cancel on Queen Nancy to the point would be rookie one. 03:15.590 --> 03:21.260 And you can see that being on B1 is actually rather useful holding the queen hair. 03:21.830 --> 03:24.890 Someone is actually winning here, taking on E8. 03:24.950 --> 03:25.880 Thanks very much. 03:26.090 --> 03:28.130 So, yes, it's a very specific move. 03:28.130 --> 03:37.220 Order Knight takes E4 first so the knights on C free here and this makes the difference so pawn takes 03:37.220 --> 03:44.660 because if Knight takes we're just taking on B1 so pawn takes and now Queen H for check G frame. 03:45.680 --> 03:47.630 So this is a very tense moment. 03:48.980 --> 03:57.620 If King If one then rotates, B one check, Knight takes B1, Queen takes E4 is hitting B1 in setting 03:57.620 --> 03:58.370 the knight. 03:59.030 --> 04:01.730 So this is actually going to be in Black's favor. 04:01.730 --> 04:06.260 This position is in its favor if Bishop have to hare. 04:09.260 --> 04:10.730 Can you see what plays? 04:13.820 --> 04:14.060 Yeah. 04:14.060 --> 04:15.540 This is enough for a quality bishop. 04:15.570 --> 04:17.660 Take free, but actually nothing more. 04:17.810 --> 04:22.490 So this is a simplification, which is about equal. 04:23.030 --> 04:26.900 But Geoffrey was played in the game and now. 04:28.560 --> 04:30.600 We have rook times b one shank. 04:32.430 --> 04:40.930 So here King F2 was played if nine tanks, B1 Queen tanks E4 and this position is terrible for one, 04:40.940 --> 04:43.320 one can even get checkmated here. 04:43.360 --> 04:46.760 Black's threatening Queen G2 and Queen H1. 04:46.770 --> 04:48.320 That's out of the question. 04:48.330 --> 04:50.190 So this is just amazing, basically. 04:51.060 --> 05:00.600 So King F2 is played and now justifying things completely. 05:00.600 --> 05:02.490 There's a move here which is. 05:03.640 --> 05:04.170 Yeah. 05:04.180 --> 05:05.380 Startling. 05:06.430 --> 05:07.750 Can you see what it is? 05:08.350 --> 05:09.580 What is that playing here? 05:13.380 --> 05:17.400 This is actually a real test of tactics and calculations. 05:17.730 --> 05:19.860 So the queen is a tax sponsor. 05:19.950 --> 05:21.690 It's returned with an attack on the opponents. 05:21.690 --> 05:25.530 Queen wrote me to funny position. 05:25.530 --> 05:27.140 We have G tanks H four. 05:27.150 --> 05:28.350 So what is going on here? 05:28.470 --> 05:35.010 If Queen takes B to the point is Bishop takes the full check here and Bishop takes C free check queen 05:35.010 --> 05:41.310 sex E for this is very strong black heads, heads in the bishop. 05:41.760 --> 05:42.350 It's winning. 05:42.360 --> 05:48.210 If Queen E fray Bishop takes the E4 this position D tank C five is cute. 05:48.450 --> 05:51.690 And here taking on E free Bishop B seven. 05:51.690 --> 05:54.390 This is better for black the exchange job. 05:54.390 --> 06:00.180 So G takes h four is played and we have rook takes d2, Bishop takes G7. 06:00.180 --> 06:02.010 C Well, this is just simplification. 06:02.010 --> 06:06.060 Now can you free rook C to King D three important move here. 06:06.060 --> 06:12.360 Yeah, it is important for attacking plans even the greatest to take some notes from Capablanca. 06:12.360 --> 06:18.150 Sometimes if there's a slight advantage, sometimes it's best to cash out into a winning endgame. 06:18.240 --> 06:20.130 So what would you play here? 06:20.160 --> 06:22.590 Test your cashing out process. 06:22.590 --> 06:26.130 I you know, you did get something from your tank. 06:26.790 --> 06:31.080 Structurally, weight is compromised here, but you've got to be careful in this position. 06:31.080 --> 06:32.370 So what would you play here? 06:35.730 --> 06:36.290 Yeah. 06:36.720 --> 06:38.790 Take a leaf out of Capablanca book rook. 06:38.790 --> 06:47.700 Take C for H simplifying further if rook B to this is more complex, White gets that pawn and disposition 06:47.700 --> 06:47.700 position. 06:47.850 --> 06:50.100 Black's sage if anything is only small. 06:50.100 --> 06:51.510 This is dangerous looking. 06:51.930 --> 06:53.160 So Rook takes C4. 06:53.160 --> 06:58.600 He keeps things much more simple and structurally white is worse. 06:58.620 --> 07:00.080 It's a terrible pawn structure. 07:00.090 --> 07:01.320 He formed the fire. 07:01.500 --> 07:03.260 It's protected its attacks. 07:03.630 --> 07:04.410 It's protected. 07:04.410 --> 07:09.660 It's blocked and ready for F5 readiness for F5 F5 immediately. 07:09.780 --> 07:11.130 White could play E5. 07:11.130 --> 07:16.350 Black is still better, but it's not so clear as the game continuation. 07:16.620 --> 07:19.290 So Rookie five ready for F5? 07:19.320 --> 07:19.740 Yeah. 07:19.740 --> 07:26.880 So this simplification is important to show in one or two games in this course because Capablanca was 07:26.880 --> 07:34.470 dominant in his era and he was a master of getting a small advantage and simplifying out to winning 07:34.470 --> 07:35.220 and games. 07:35.520 --> 07:41.720 So Ock is one way of gaining benefits from attacking play. 07:41.730 --> 07:44.810 So Rook b1a very key way of gaining benefits. 07:44.820 --> 07:46.830 So Bishop takes E4 here. 07:47.160 --> 07:48.340 Wrote me six f4. 07:48.360 --> 07:50.000 This is a very dangerous path. 07:50.010 --> 07:55.980 F pawn rook takes a six, f three Bishop f one Bishop F5. 07:57.960 --> 08:05.910 So now this makes way for the rookie one So Rook seven Shank King only six King D2 now F2. 08:05.940 --> 08:12.800 So still supporting rookie one Bishop E2 and now a very interesting move. 08:12.810 --> 08:14.130 Very powerful move. 08:14.310 --> 08:15.330 What would you play here for? 08:15.330 --> 08:16.140 Five points 08:19.100 --> 08:19.980 and Bishop G. 08:20.010 --> 08:23.010 G for trying to lure the bishop away so we can play F one. 08:23.010 --> 08:25.710 Actually, immediately we have Bishop D3. 08:25.740 --> 08:28.680 If so, if Bishop takes G4, forget rookie one, we just Queen. 08:28.920 --> 08:37.200 So Bishop defray rookie one, rook have seven and now disconnecting the rook from F1. 08:37.200 --> 08:42.030 So now F1 is now France A5. 08:43.980 --> 08:46.410 Now here, actually. 08:48.660 --> 08:50.940 Bishop thinks the fray is played which. 08:52.660 --> 08:53.510 It's still frightening. 08:53.530 --> 08:58.980 F1 So we have looked after and you might think, well, there's two pieces hanging, so we'll have to 08:59.020 --> 09:01.570 play here, which ends the game. 09:04.270 --> 09:04.990 Okay. 09:05.440 --> 09:06.310 It's real CAF one. 09:06.310 --> 09:06.520 Yeah. 09:06.550 --> 09:08.410 That's a neat trick in the end. 09:09.610 --> 09:15.460 So here, if Rook G2, Bishop, F5, you know, that's got a huge advantage. 09:16.300 --> 09:18.340 The Brooks are going to come behind the pawn. 09:18.370 --> 09:20.110 This pawn is not really a danger. 09:20.350 --> 09:22.810 If Rook takes F1, Bishop takes F1. 09:22.810 --> 09:28.120 A6 Black has the time to take on C4 here and then Bishop D5. 09:28.690 --> 09:29.590 So yes. 09:29.920 --> 09:36.790 And in the game Rook have won a neat game showing that of even at a young age, you know, he could 09:36.790 --> 09:39.210 just simplify into a winning endgame. 09:39.220 --> 09:42.880 It's something important to note in this course. 09:42.880 --> 09:49.450 So there was a kind of terrific attacking chess early on in this game, kind of exploiting the king 09:49.450 --> 09:56.800 in the center and just getting structural, structural advantage from all those tactical transactions 09:56.890 --> 09:58.720 and then being able to just win an end game. 09:58.720 --> 10:02.260 This is this is high level chess for you. 10:02.440 --> 10:04.300 It's one of only 13 at the time in this game. 10:04.300 --> 10:04.630 Okay. 10:04.630 --> 10:06.040 I hope you enjoyed that. 10:06.700 --> 10:08.170 So an interesting point. 10:08.170 --> 10:14.290 Basically, sometimes we can't checkmate with our attacks, but we can just get winning positions which 10:14.290 --> 10:16.810 we can simplify into one end games. 10:16.930 --> 10:19.060 It's a great winning technique to bear in mind. 10:19.210 --> 10:20.920 Okay, Thanks so much.
