WEBVTT 00:01.050 --> 00:01.860 Hi there. 00:01.890 --> 00:08.490 In this lecture, we see Paul Gajewski against this method of So in his method of it's one of my favorite 00:08.490 --> 00:09.480 attacking plans. 00:09.480 --> 00:11.400 Very, very beautiful combinations. 00:11.580 --> 00:14.730 I really enjoyed looking in his games on my YouTube channel. 00:15.000 --> 00:19.130 He was a player which never made the Grandmaster title. 00:19.140 --> 00:23.130 He wasn't given enough opportunities, it seems. 00:23.130 --> 00:27.990 So it's a rather interesting case, a wonderful attacking player. 00:27.990 --> 00:33.570 But and even in some tournaments, you know, winning certain tournaments, even ahead of Korchnoi in 00:33.570 --> 00:39.330 this particular tournament, the 18 Hours and fencing championship in 1958. 00:39.330 --> 00:45.900 So let's have a look at this game D4 from Pyongyang scheme we have nice F6 C4 and now an old Indian 00:45.900 --> 00:50.760 defense which actually it is actually a super interesting opening as well. 00:50.790 --> 00:53.760 Here Knight C3 is played. 00:56.360 --> 01:02.060 And E-5 now saying basically, you know, I don't mind about the queens coming off. 01:02.060 --> 01:03.290 We have E4. 01:03.350 --> 01:07.940 If D takes D tanks, this isn't so good as you might expect. 01:08.150 --> 01:14.330 The king's in the centre, but without the Queen's on, there isn't too much to fear this position. 01:14.750 --> 01:20.270 For example, it's solid for black plate has that C5 square to play with. 01:20.390 --> 01:21.860 It's an interesting possession. 01:22.800 --> 01:25.580 White might claim a small edge, but nothing more. 01:26.690 --> 01:29.270 And also if we look at this again. 01:31.700 --> 01:35.570 We can actually elect play here in 96 as well. 01:36.410 --> 01:44.240 If so, 96, this position with a five and five with the plan of putting our king potentially on C eight. 01:44.390 --> 01:46.390 This is about even as well. 01:46.400 --> 01:48.290 This is actually maybe even more accurate. 01:49.460 --> 01:49.790 Okay. 01:49.790 --> 02:01.220 So anyway, when it responds with E four, we have e takes the E for Queen 6496, Queen D2 and now g6b 02:01.220 --> 02:10.070 free Bishop G seven Bishop B2, Black Castles Bishop Defray and now Knight G4. 02:10.130 --> 02:17.150 This has very interesting ideas behind it, such as Bishop age sex ideas in France. 02:17.270 --> 02:25.970 Queen H for so White reacts with g to very interesting position indeed. 02:26.660 --> 02:34.730 So this gives some support for an hour for move sometimes if needed on Bishop H sex Knight g to We can 02:34.730 --> 02:46.310 see that every bishop thinks it could be annoying for example so knight g e to the thing is, if once 02:46.310 --> 02:53.030 castling kingside H two is a softer spot than usual, the knights usually on F3 inherits not if white 02:53.030 --> 03:02.600 the castle queenside instead A5 is actually a nice aggressive plan, and it seems black's better here 03:02.690 --> 03:16.310 overall If for example F4 Bishop D4 for instance Bishop e Fray as well as Knight F to white does best 03:16.310 --> 03:22.430 to play rookie one and this position Knight afraid to offer the exchange and it goes back crazy the 03:22.430 --> 03:30.680 positions but this is the way for one to plant basically so this position y could end up with a small 03:30.680 --> 03:31.340 edge. 03:32.930 --> 03:41.510 So here after D5 for example, E takes note two queen thanks F to Bishop takes f5y ends up in this crazy 03:41.510 --> 03:43.340 variation with a small edge. 03:44.750 --> 03:45.410 Yeah. 03:45.530 --> 03:47.720 So it's very interesting stuff. 03:49.100 --> 03:54.200 If after instead trying to get the knight now offering the knight that this is actually going to be 03:54.200 --> 03:57.860 quite promising for White Black's king without the thing. 03:57.860 --> 04:04.040 Catto bishop has been weakened and overall White does stand better in this scenario. 04:04.460 --> 04:05.630 Just in case you're wondering. 04:05.630 --> 04:07.010 And if D6 drops. 04:07.010 --> 04:08.930 Yeah, this is just good for white. 04:08.930 --> 04:16.220 Actually, black has got some prospects though, but if white plays accurately, White's better. 04:17.570 --> 04:26.000 Okay, so anyway, night G2 is played and we have Queen H for a now Knight G frame. 04:28.830 --> 04:31.980 So this is a very interesting situation. 04:32.190 --> 04:37.200 And actually, if you you know, if you analyze it with modern engines and there's just no place to 04:37.200 --> 04:44.280 move, which seems okay, it's interesting, 95, but there's actually a move here, which is even more 04:44.310 --> 04:50.520 it's like really incisive for getting an advantage, it seems, in virtually all variations. 04:50.550 --> 04:54.300 Can you see what that move is for 100 points? 04:55.290 --> 04:57.180 You might not be able to see why, but. 04:59.830 --> 05:02.170 It's actually I'm about to show you. 05:02.170 --> 05:03.280 It's f five. 05:04.030 --> 05:07.420 It does a lot of special things at five here. 05:08.470 --> 05:10.360 Yeah, This one's an opportunity. 05:11.320 --> 05:13.150 Definite advantage here, it seems. 05:13.150 --> 05:16.510 If White cancels queenside, he takes her five. 05:17.590 --> 05:24.020 So activating the rook on F eight Knight takes F two and black spanner. 05:24.060 --> 05:24.280 That's. 05:24.280 --> 05:26.800 That's quite a simple variation to demonstrate. 05:28.150 --> 05:32.290 If he takes that five knight before. 05:32.710 --> 05:39.450 And the funny thing here is if White castles queenside Bishop h6 F4. 05:40.870 --> 05:49.420 And now, funnily enough, Knight g e5 looks at Bishop takes F4 as well as Knight takes the phrase. 05:49.420 --> 05:52.100 So everything's really quite menacing here. 05:52.120 --> 05:54.820 This position after Bishop takes her full check. 05:55.240 --> 05:58.510 Winning the exchange is vicious. 05:58.870 --> 05:59.710 It's incredible. 05:59.710 --> 06:06.280 If White Castles that just queen takes H to mean if H Freed as Knight takes F2 and we see the wrath 06:06.280 --> 06:07.480 of the rook on FE. 06:07.510 --> 06:09.520 So it's a fascinating thing. 06:09.520 --> 06:14.080 This whole F5, it seems in virtually every variation. 06:14.300 --> 06:18.160 Black's getting a big position if I was played immediately. 06:19.060 --> 06:20.860 So what does that say about this opening? 06:20.860 --> 06:25.360 I mean, it says for me, you know, the old Indian offensive, it's in this line. 06:25.480 --> 06:26.710 It's really quite promising. 06:26.710 --> 06:28.960 This is a very promising position of black already. 06:29.290 --> 06:32.110 But Knight G E5 was played in the game. 06:32.440 --> 06:36.070 White consoles are now F5, F3. 06:36.460 --> 06:38.830 This was a mistake once. 06:38.830 --> 06:41.890 Should have played e6 F5. 06:43.060 --> 06:52.390 So if G tanks knight G2 with an even position, this should be even with best play. 06:52.870 --> 06:54.190 If g tanks. 06:55.640 --> 06:56.300 Yeah. 06:56.330 --> 06:59.360 So that's if G takes her five, ge2. 06:59.360 --> 07:02.780 But if Knight takes the E three, Queen 63. 07:02.780 --> 07:07.700 This situation, Queen D, five, Jack and Rocky D one. 07:07.700 --> 07:09.920 And where is Black's attack? 07:10.550 --> 07:14.370 This position is going to be slightly better for white C sevens. 07:14.390 --> 07:15.440 A bit of an issue here. 07:16.490 --> 07:19.640 Bishops could come off, but white is standing well. 07:19.670 --> 07:25.130 So basically eating something five had to be played in the game won't play as far to passively it seems 07:25.340 --> 07:39.170 with F3 and this gives black a magnificent looking attack now of the bishop H thinks Queen d1f49g2g59 07:39.170 --> 07:47.900 d5 not really worrying about C seven black presses ahead with g for g Free f Tanks H Tanks. 07:47.900 --> 07:49.070 Queen H three. 07:51.410 --> 07:53.490 F for Bishop Essex. 07:54.920 --> 07:57.450 And you might wonder, what is this about Bishop Essex? 07:57.470 --> 07:59.360 Well, Bishop C-2 is played. 07:59.630 --> 08:06.050 If F takes E5, we have got potential access to E3, but we've got to knock out this guy first. 08:06.710 --> 08:13.820 So Bishop takes the E5 is dangerous for whites, C takes Bishop E free shank and this is just much better 08:13.820 --> 08:18.650 for Black because it's actually jammy champ mate with a slight advantage for black. 08:18.860 --> 08:21.680 So yeah, if. 08:23.110 --> 08:23.810 Paul me. 08:24.610 --> 08:28.900 So yeah, there's these lines which are really dangerous if bishops see one here. 08:31.850 --> 08:32.480 Bishop G. 08:32.480 --> 08:33.140 Seven. 08:33.800 --> 08:40.340 And in this position, Knight takes E5 even though Black is a piece down. 08:41.690 --> 08:44.150 Because of airfreight and the pressure on the kingside. 08:44.960 --> 08:46.250 This is rather interesting. 08:46.250 --> 08:53.990 Still, after a free Jack Quinn H two check and the Kings brought out to play here and this position 08:53.990 --> 08:54.600 for example. 08:54.620 --> 08:59.210 Bang rook thanks e4 Queen takes E to vicious. 08:59.630 --> 09:09.320 So yeah very interesting stuff basically is going on now so Bishop C2 was played not after E5. 09:09.320 --> 09:11.900 It does lead to some very dangerous scenarios for it. 09:11.900 --> 09:20.390 So Bishop C too, and we have Rook have seven now here, maybe even better as Bishop takes D5. 09:20.780 --> 09:22.160 So this position. 09:24.650 --> 09:28.470 Let's say Bishop Sifry Rookie Ain't Broke. 09:28.820 --> 09:31.230 8193 check. 09:31.250 --> 09:41.270 This is actually very interesting for Black, The King only freehand 97 and now 95 will win the Queen. 09:42.740 --> 09:43.100 Yeah. 09:43.100 --> 09:45.650 Where is the queen going here anyway? 09:46.520 --> 09:53.720 If the queen uses the three, then 95 is actually checkmate there. 09:54.200 --> 09:54.500 Yeah. 09:54.500 --> 09:57.500 I mean, this is just a vicious position, actually. 09:57.500 --> 10:01.910 Generally, if the queen gives herself up to this, it's not enough. 10:02.030 --> 10:03.800 Black is actually better here. 10:04.340 --> 10:10.130 E6 can be picked off soon after Knight takes her, rook, takes black, going to end up being better. 10:10.430 --> 10:17.330 So anyway rook have seven was interesting as well, but so that rook have seven was played. 10:20.790 --> 10:21.900 So in this position. 10:33.970 --> 10:35.380 Of the bishop see to. 10:37.960 --> 10:38.260 Yeah. 10:38.260 --> 10:41.470 So Bishop takes 35 leads. 10:41.470 --> 10:48.460 The interesting stuff about Rook have seven, we have King F2, Queen H two checking E three bishop 10:48.460 --> 10:56.470 tanks, d5c tanks and now Knight before this is this is actually really quite relevant because sometimes 10:56.890 --> 11:00.250 the queen is joining up on C two as a common square. 11:01.360 --> 11:03.220 It's taking away an escape square. 11:04.840 --> 11:10.750 And we have one making a big mistake now, which is spectacularly exploited. 11:10.990 --> 11:11.320 Why? 11:11.350 --> 11:12.130 It plays a role. 11:12.130 --> 11:13.060 Coach one. 11:15.500 --> 11:16.340 So. 11:18.040 --> 11:23.590 Perhaps hoping to get the Queen's off, you know, or win the bishop, basically, you know, because 11:23.590 --> 11:26.650 the king could potentially run over to the to the queen side. 11:27.130 --> 11:32.380 But yeah, black flags, perhaps an unexpected move here. 11:32.680 --> 11:34.960 Can you spot it for 200 points? 11:35.410 --> 11:38.300 And there is a basic attacking pattern here. 11:38.320 --> 11:42.430 Well, what you might think is super rare, but actually, it does happen more than you think. 11:42.550 --> 11:43.930 A bit like a positional queen. 11:43.930 --> 11:47.290 Sacrifices bringing the king down the ball. 11:47.320 --> 11:52.210 How is it possible to bring the king down the board in this position? 11:52.210 --> 11:56.560 So you might have to think creatively out of the box here Black to play. 12:02.450 --> 12:04.740 It's really incredible tactics here. 12:04.760 --> 12:07.310 Roarke takes our form is played. 12:07.340 --> 12:09.130 Absolutely incredible tactics. 12:09.140 --> 12:14.390 So one of the points is that the night that common square on C2 is relevant here. 12:14.900 --> 12:19.490 If G takes Bishop takes F for check. 12:20.150 --> 12:20.870 Ouch. 12:20.870 --> 12:24.290 For Y, because that opens up the Queen. 12:26.650 --> 12:32.140 To see to so night taxi to check and want us to give up the queen and this is benefit black. 12:32.170 --> 12:38.830 This position is going to not better for black blacks got that hook on our free hair it's too much. 12:40.420 --> 12:43.000 So the queen sack was accepted. 12:43.890 --> 12:46.080 But now the king has been brought up. 12:46.080 --> 12:50.430 The board will carry double checks and the king moves. 12:51.420 --> 12:53.640 And now quiet move. 12:53.640 --> 12:55.080 Bishop G seven. 12:59.520 --> 12:59.940 Yeah. 12:59.940 --> 13:03.030 This is a very bad state of affairs. 13:03.330 --> 13:06.750 The king can't really retracts itself backwards. 13:07.170 --> 13:09.990 So A-4 is played, which is actually a forced mind. 13:10.020 --> 13:10.380 Eight. 13:10.380 --> 13:11.670 Now, believe it or not. 13:12.120 --> 13:14.730 Yeah, it's good to be good at mating combinations. 13:15.060 --> 13:16.200 See my ARP champ, mate? 13:16.200 --> 13:19.740 Course there's a force mate in eight from this position. 13:20.230 --> 13:22.390 White's best was the particular rook. 13:22.390 --> 13:26.430 Have two giving up my rook just so the king can step backwards. 13:26.790 --> 13:28.440 And then step backwards here. 13:29.520 --> 13:31.530 And then for rook takes G3. 13:31.530 --> 13:34.800 But the thing is, there's a big material loss here. 13:35.010 --> 13:38.040 It's so much that it justifies Black's queen sack. 13:38.130 --> 13:39.570 Black would be better hair. 13:41.160 --> 13:41.430 So. 13:41.430 --> 13:47.160 Okay a though, how does it walk into a fourth mate in in eight? 13:47.580 --> 13:49.550 So can you see the mating combination? 13:49.560 --> 13:53.310 You might want to pause the video for a few minutes and test your calculation skills. 13:59.590 --> 14:00.190 Okay. 14:00.190 --> 14:04.780 Black hands, you know, controlled loads of escaped squares here. 14:05.110 --> 14:07.870 And some of them, you know, like D3 multiple times. 14:08.020 --> 14:11.380 So we actually just need more of a team effort. 14:11.590 --> 14:12.640 Funny enough. 14:13.030 --> 14:14.500 And is it the stroke? 14:14.530 --> 14:15.290 It's the strokes. 14:15.310 --> 14:17.690 Not particularly well on this right now. 14:17.710 --> 14:21.250 Black plays C five check which forces D tanks. 14:21.250 --> 14:25.870 But now after B takes, there's a huge fat of C5 champ, mate. 14:27.130 --> 14:35.860 So White tries to give the king and escape square Bishop D free by shielding C free hair so that that 14:35.860 --> 14:37.630 could be answered with King C free. 14:37.870 --> 14:40.450 But now we have knights, E tanks D free. 14:40.450 --> 14:42.130 So stopping King C free. 14:42.610 --> 14:47.260 The king is going to see four, but now D five check E tanks. 14:47.260 --> 14:49.810 C takes D five, check king B five. 14:50.200 --> 14:51.550 And now this other. 14:51.550 --> 14:52.090 Yeah. 14:52.330 --> 14:54.880 Sleeping part of the team is used Rook B eight. 14:54.880 --> 14:55.270 Check. 14:55.270 --> 14:56.200 It's awake now. 14:57.460 --> 15:00.670 It's just woken up wondering what all the fuss is about here and now. 15:00.670 --> 15:03.070 Knights six check ends the game. 15:04.150 --> 15:10.330 Yeah, because if King asks Martin to resign, the King 86 Knight Deeds B four is checkmate. 15:15.190 --> 15:18.160 It's an absolutely magnificent game, really. 15:18.430 --> 15:20.140 And it's good to review these. 15:20.140 --> 15:21.250 I do find. 15:21.250 --> 15:21.510 Yeah. 15:21.790 --> 15:28.990 Reviewing this game now of the modern engines, the latest engines, it reveals amazing resources. 15:28.990 --> 15:35.710 And also for me, I'm impressed with the dark squares black head early on through this old Indian. 15:35.740 --> 15:40.540 The dot square pressure is very interesting and fun in my view. 15:42.010 --> 15:50.860 So all of these possibilities of Bishop h6 and Bishop de force, it's a hugely fun, entertaining game. 15:50.950 --> 15:58.090 And to think that F5 is so crushing in various ways as well is absolutely fascinating. 15:58.090 --> 15:59.530 Even you know what was not played. 15:59.530 --> 16:05.050 It's a fascinating position with the rich possibilities that Black has now here. 16:05.650 --> 16:07.060 Incredible stuff. 16:07.870 --> 16:12.100 So anyway, Night G5 and White just plays a passive move here. 16:12.400 --> 16:18.280 And yeah, as much as life is in full gear, it doesn't it's not going to C7 is going for an attack 16:18.910 --> 16:27.760 and the attack seems to you know, it seems to get a seemingly safe position for a moment. 16:29.110 --> 16:31.690 But it's not really the case. 16:31.690 --> 16:33.550 There are various possibilities here. 16:33.580 --> 16:42.370 But yeah, it's just beautiful how this very timely queen song is used here, which triggers bringing 16:42.370 --> 16:43.750 the king down the board. 16:43.780 --> 16:45.490 Absolutely fascinating game. 16:45.490 --> 16:49.960 Tactically, a masterpiece of the Spenser novels. 16:49.960 --> 16:55.870 And he's played several masterpieces, several attacking masterpieces so many people consider an adventure 16:55.870 --> 16:56.130 novel. 16:56.140 --> 17:00.590 You know, one of the greater, you know, one of the best attacking players in chess history. 17:00.610 --> 17:05.860 You can see from games like this, Yeah, he is pretty amazing. 17:06.700 --> 17:07.420 Okay. 17:07.420 --> 17:08.620 I hope you enjoyed this one. 17:09.160 --> 17:09.910 Thanks very much.
