WEBVTT 00:01.060 --> 00:07.180 Hi there in this lecture, we're going to see a variation of the scholars mate trap where you could 00:07.180 --> 00:12.140 end up losing a rock if you're not careful, we're going to take the black pieces here. 00:13.180 --> 00:20.830 So the trap setter is playing a fall against us and we play E5 and they actually encouraged us of the 00:20.830 --> 00:21.670 Bishop CIFOR. 00:21.670 --> 00:22.580 They haven't moved that night. 00:22.600 --> 00:26.020 They encourage us to try and play symmetrically with Bishop C5 five. 00:26.680 --> 00:35.410 Now, ideally, you shouldn't be influenced by your opponent's pace of play and too much by that moves. 00:35.410 --> 00:36.610 You should do your own thing. 00:36.610 --> 00:38.380 Ideally, the best move in the position. 00:38.380 --> 00:39.730 You shouldn't just try and imitate them. 00:39.730 --> 00:42.700 You don't have to be a copycat here. 00:42.970 --> 00:43.710 You can play. 00:43.720 --> 00:46.260 Might have six developing apace develop. 00:46.360 --> 00:53.620 Tonight there is an expression by Seedbox Haroche, a famous player who said knights before bishops. 00:54.070 --> 00:57.580 So this is almost like a violation of Tanisha's rule. 00:58.000 --> 01:00.370 So here with sex is a very, very good move. 01:00.370 --> 01:01.540 You're attacking this pawn. 01:01.810 --> 01:07.270 It's a very, very good response to Bishop CIFOR and shows little bit of the downside of this early 01:07.270 --> 01:08.110 bishops before for that. 01:08.110 --> 01:09.670 Now they have to defend their pawn. 01:09.970 --> 01:11.650 And you're absolutely fine here. 01:11.650 --> 01:13.210 So this is a great way of playing. 01:13.750 --> 01:15.310 Absolutely great of playing. 01:15.820 --> 01:22.330 If you are faithful, Bishop CIFOR, just one of her nights, you can even develop the other one if 01:22.330 --> 01:27.500 you want to kind of set traps the opponent that they want to sort of beat you quickly with Kootenays 01:27.520 --> 01:32.530 five, you've already got Aelfwine protected, but you do have to be concerned about F7. 01:33.070 --> 01:40.000 So the move G six is good here and here, shilled F7 from the Queen and Bishop that renewed that attack. 01:40.480 --> 01:46.600 And now you're looking forward to things like 94 attacking the Queen, putting in a strong central plank 01:46.600 --> 01:49.690 place where it's not that easy to kick this night. 01:49.700 --> 01:53.590 So actually you play C6 and you're standing very well here. 01:54.850 --> 01:58.750 You've more than equalised in the opening were black quite often. 01:58.750 --> 02:01.270 You'll hear this term, you know, trying to equalize. 02:01.870 --> 02:07.150 It's as if there's a there is a virtual score and equal is like no one's got an advantage. 02:07.150 --> 02:09.400 And, hey, you definitely equalize with the black pieces. 02:10.090 --> 02:16.720 But anyway, let's say one day you are tempted for another reason to imitate the opponents and, you 02:16.720 --> 02:17.720 know, opponents playing. 02:17.980 --> 02:23.170 You don't have to play quickly, take your time, do all the good things in chess, take your time, 02:23.830 --> 02:25.180 look at your moves. 02:25.180 --> 02:27.250 Carefully researched the position. 02:27.940 --> 02:32.380 So here, let's say you did play Bishop see five, though they can sense a trap. 02:32.740 --> 02:35.020 Queensrÿche five, which is important to be aware of. 02:35.590 --> 02:41.740 Now with this they not they are not only hitting F7, they are actually hitting a five. 02:42.430 --> 02:47.370 And what you don't want to do in this position, there is a disaster movie you definitely don't want 02:47.370 --> 02:51.340 to do, which is desex because this will allow. 02:52.610 --> 03:00.050 I hope you can spot it, Queen takes E5 check, and it's not only checking your king, it's winning 03:00.050 --> 03:00.770 that rock. 03:01.370 --> 03:06.650 Yeah, you've created a downside in that you weaken this diagonal and this book is an unprotected piece. 03:07.340 --> 03:13.130 All of these theoretical downsides do creep up and accumulate as they do in here. 03:13.130 --> 03:15.790 In this position, you've just lost an entire drug. 03:16.250 --> 03:19.610 There's no consolation prize and things could actually get worse. 03:20.000 --> 03:26.810 If you take on a four with check developing a piece, if you take on Jita, you're going to be checkmated. 03:26.810 --> 03:33.950 Soudan Queen takes G.H. Jack Queen takes F7 check and this is looking nasty if you bring a king or queen 03:33.950 --> 03:35.530 if sex is actually checkmate. 03:35.990 --> 03:40.580 So there are a few lessons here philosophically and otherwise. 03:41.030 --> 03:46.250 If they play evil, you play E5 and they play Bishop CIFOR, you don't have to copy them. 03:46.250 --> 03:47.510 Please don't copy them. 03:47.510 --> 03:48.650 Just develop your night. 03:49.280 --> 03:55.610 Remember Taradash nights before bishops just develop your knights, get them to parry the France on 03:55.610 --> 03:56.210 A4. 03:57.770 --> 04:04.610 So with a move like Mitzy free and absolutely fine, this is my top recommendation for what to do about 04:04.610 --> 04:07.040 this pesky Bishop CIFOR. 04:07.670 --> 04:14.330 But if you are influenced with Bishop C5, OK, they've got this now. 04:14.330 --> 04:15.530 It's not the end of the world. 04:15.530 --> 04:19.760 Even if you did reach the position, this position, as long as you don't play desex, you're creating 04:19.760 --> 04:24.740 more downsides in your position and you need to hear if you don't panic. 04:24.740 --> 04:30.800 I mean, logically, your resources with double taxed are often double the and hand. 04:30.800 --> 04:32.360 There is actually Queenie's seven. 04:33.140 --> 04:37.760 If you did one play from this position, this is actually a reasonable position to play from. 04:38.060 --> 04:43.880 If Mitzy Free with the intention of trying to have your queen, you can first kick their queen out of 04:44.090 --> 04:45.260 five of my offense. 04:46.310 --> 04:49.340 And here you can parry this idea of ninety five in advance. 04:49.340 --> 04:54.560 You can take away the five from potential use for that night and you'll be even here. 04:55.010 --> 04:57.440 But in general, I don't particularly recommend this. 04:57.440 --> 05:01.310 This is, you know, only if you did want to imitate for some whatever reason. 05:01.640 --> 05:05.710 But if you don't want to imitate I'd recommend just not have sex. 05:06.320 --> 05:07.220 Great move here. 05:07.730 --> 05:09.350 This is my recommendation for you. 05:09.860 --> 05:15.110 And if you're playing with the white pieces as a trap setter, this is very naughty stuff. 05:15.110 --> 05:16.490 You shouldn't be developing like this. 05:16.490 --> 05:19.850 Bishop CIFOR, this is not fort's be a good move. 05:19.850 --> 05:25.430 Hair, the best move in this position for the history of chess we're talking hundreds and hundreds of 05:25.430 --> 05:32.990 years is to play actually the our friend because no Afri has a flat. 05:32.990 --> 05:34.810 It limits the opponent's replies. 05:34.820 --> 05:38.240 It's a logical developing move the way it's going towards the center. 05:38.420 --> 05:44.450 This is a very, very logical and popular move to play my every bishop CIFOR. 05:44.450 --> 05:46.310 It has got name the bishops opening. 05:46.640 --> 05:48.350 It has been played, don't get me wrong. 05:48.560 --> 05:57.200 But theoretically, from a theoretical point of view, no Afri is considered like the best, both basically 05:57.200 --> 05:58.640 to play in this position. 05:59.240 --> 06:01.490 You're limiting what your opponent can do. 06:01.820 --> 06:03.680 You're carrying on with logical developments. 06:04.220 --> 06:05.270 So they play Desex. 06:05.270 --> 06:09.860 You've got a nice move here as well to kind of open up the position. 06:09.860 --> 06:13.760 The more you can open up your pieces in general, if you get this position where you can open up your 06:13.760 --> 06:17.390 pieces in general and these bishops, then it's good. 06:17.390 --> 06:21.860 If it takes don't bring out your Queensway, you can play 964 and you've got very pleasant position. 06:22.220 --> 06:22.580 Yeah. 06:23.390 --> 06:27.350 So 93 don't set these traps, these traps. 06:27.350 --> 06:30.500 Basically, they're going to limit your further progress. 06:30.500 --> 06:36.530 If you're really quite ambitious in chess, you want to start playing as soon as possible. 06:36.530 --> 06:42.860 The best possible openings, not openings, which give you a quick wins against your fellow friends. 06:43.850 --> 06:48.110 But in the wider world, when you go to tournaments, you want to play, you know, as professional 06:48.470 --> 06:55.310 openings as possible and not just as they call them, you know, setting cheap traps in the opening. 06:55.550 --> 07:01.700 If you set cheap traps in the opening, you're actually limiting your progress as as a chess player 07:01.970 --> 07:02.630 later on. 07:03.140 --> 07:07.880 But there is something to learn from these traps, the patterns, the concepts, what downsides they 07:07.880 --> 07:11.300 represent, the best way of handling these downsides. 07:11.750 --> 07:13.370 There are some lessons had to be learned. 07:13.370 --> 07:17.240 And this is essential knowledge to be aware of many things in chess. 07:17.570 --> 07:19.580 Awareness is absolutely essential. 07:19.790 --> 07:24.680 What you do with that awareness is very, very important after. 07:24.920 --> 07:29.570 So, you know, if the opponent threatens you on the chess board, you need to be aware of that. 07:30.070 --> 07:32.270 If they're threatening F7, you need to be aware of that. 07:32.510 --> 07:34.970 What you do that needs to be as effective as possible. 07:35.120 --> 07:39.690 Sometimes you do have to parry that France, sometimes you can make it big a threat and sometimes, 07:39.690 --> 07:44.600 as I say, you can completely crush them of a winning combination if you have a good position. 07:44.810 --> 07:48.590 Sometimes it basically shows they shouldn't be making that sort of threat to you. 07:49.100 --> 07:51.890 So anyway, here an awareness of this kind of trap. 07:52.210 --> 07:56.890 The early Bishop CIFOR, I would recommend not doing it. 07:57.130 --> 07:59.600 I don't recommend NOIA free, OK. 07:59.620 --> 08:07.120 I hope that's given some background on this particular trap that opponents might sense, especially 08:07.120 --> 08:09.920 if you're playing with the black pieces just by myself. 08:09.970 --> 08:11.070 They might have sex. 08:11.080 --> 08:11.890 It's a great move. 08:11.900 --> 08:16.990 Laughs They say it's a form, OK, and so much.
