WEBVTT 00:01.050 --> 00:01.780 Hi there. 00:02.220 --> 00:08.870 In this lecture, we're going to go over a trap which was set in a way by Bobby Fischer against Samuel 00:08.910 --> 00:09.270 Reserve. 00:09.930 --> 00:13.980 This was in the 1958 U.S. championship where this occurred. 00:14.670 --> 00:16.740 So Fischer played a four. 00:16.900 --> 00:22.680 Brezinski played the Sicilian defense every 96 D4. 00:22.680 --> 00:26.450 So this is an open Sicilian plan playing this game. 00:27.000 --> 00:31.920 So get into a kind of dragon formation, Sicilian dragon formation. 00:32.580 --> 00:37.950 Bob Black has not put the brakes on white playing a five here. 00:38.940 --> 00:46.750 That's worthy of note that the deep hasn't been committed that consoles her and she just drops the Beshir 00:46.800 --> 00:47.850 back in this position. 00:50.380 --> 00:55.160 Now, here, Rozanski played night a five. 00:55.180 --> 00:58.970 This is actually a mistake, quite a large mistake, believe it or not. 01:00.190 --> 01:03.560 Now, the brakes haven't been put on. 01:03.560 --> 01:07.020 My playing E5 and I'm black is actually kind of a weakness. 01:07.080 --> 01:13.390 The last move that A5 is now available twice, quite often players black do play desexed. 01:13.390 --> 01:18.100 Just putting the brakes on her after every one is a little bit better. 01:18.460 --> 01:26.680 But here with 95, interestingly, Fisher does play 85 and we have the move 98 being played. 01:29.380 --> 01:34.490 And it turns out this position has some amazing tactics for white. 01:34.960 --> 01:38.170 There is a kind of extraneous possession of the queen against Queen. 01:38.170 --> 01:40.210 This queen is actually an unprotected piece. 01:40.810 --> 01:46.420 There is a pin point here, but the bishop is about to be snapped off. 01:46.420 --> 01:46.770 Right. 01:47.590 --> 01:54.670 Well, there's a remarkable resource here for whites in this position, which I wonder if you can spot 01:54.670 --> 01:56.670 it if I give you five seconds for the video. 02:02.300 --> 02:03.800 OK, if you check all checks. 02:05.970 --> 02:09.600 Prioritize the following is my common advice throughout this course. 02:09.630 --> 02:15.190 By the way, if you if you prioritize the moves, there's actually a very move at seven feet. 02:15.270 --> 02:20.170 Well, isn't that just a terrible move black and take with either the rock or the king? 02:20.880 --> 02:21.960 Not so fast. 02:22.680 --> 02:24.760 If they take the rock, guess what? 02:25.620 --> 02:29.930 How would you celebrate this x ray, your queen's kind of x ray independence queen? 02:30.390 --> 02:31.290 There's a move here. 02:32.870 --> 02:41.720 OK, at 96 and you've actually just won the bonus queen, you know, the queen hasn't got anywhere to 02:41.720 --> 02:48.820 run and it's going to take it so on King takes again. 02:48.830 --> 02:57.040 Funnily enough, 96 is great, even though it seems the king can take in the actual game reserves. 02:57.050 --> 03:03.380 He just gave up the queen and had a totally lost possession, but played on kind of out of spite. 03:03.380 --> 03:07.030 Didn't really like Fisher as the up and coming rival. 03:07.640 --> 03:11.520 So so essentially he lost his queen in the actual game. 03:11.860 --> 03:19.550 Yeah, but if the king had taken one can actually force a checkmate here with Queen de Five check. 03:20.150 --> 03:30.060 And here live for a check of the King Tees, there's Ruchi one Jack King and for Bishop G5 Chac driving 03:30.060 --> 03:38.330 the king to a light square and say, here, then we just go quickly, one check and this is mating. 03:38.900 --> 03:40.070 So that's pretty brutal. 03:40.910 --> 03:44.530 And you might ask, well, what about earlier on King's Cross? 03:44.540 --> 03:48.860 You might have this question here about this situation. 03:49.250 --> 03:51.920 What if Black had taken on be free? 03:52.160 --> 03:53.330 And that also hits the rook. 03:53.690 --> 03:54.050 Sure. 03:54.060 --> 04:01.610 But you just played it safe sex and you're up after these transactions of the night saying, I want 04:01.820 --> 04:03.010 F G seven. 04:03.620 --> 04:04.730 You're up in material. 04:05.960 --> 04:10.250 They might want to leave that poor man, Rukia is the best choice. 04:11.090 --> 04:18.230 And your simplest way of getting a nice advantage is just castling the simplest way you can because 04:18.230 --> 04:20.930 you're going to be taking this space, your material up here. 04:22.370 --> 04:24.530 You have three minor pieces and a road. 04:26.400 --> 04:33.660 The opponent has like a rug for membership, you're generally up and, yeah, this is just a great way 04:33.660 --> 04:35.150 of having an advantage. 04:35.460 --> 04:38.270 So this trap is kind of worth knowing about. 04:38.400 --> 04:46.800 And also, from a fundamental tactical perspective, you know, what is actually the underlying ingredients? 04:47.280 --> 04:55.350 If you ask yourself this question about traps, you also gain a kind of greater understanding of tactics. 04:55.360 --> 05:01.950 Generally, these traps do have vicious underlying tactical elements sometimes. 05:02.430 --> 05:05.040 And, you know, one element is this x ray. 05:05.490 --> 05:10.590 Another is the presence of quite a few interesting forcing moves based on that x ray. 05:10.890 --> 05:12.620 So, yes, quite a crushing trap. 05:13.860 --> 05:15.810 So bishops have some track here. 05:16.020 --> 05:17.220 It's quite the sequence. 05:17.220 --> 05:19.920 You might very rarely play the sequence. 05:19.920 --> 05:22.200 I mean, it requires your opponent also play the sequence. 05:22.590 --> 05:26.550 Some of the traps here are more easy to get into on the board than others. 05:26.970 --> 05:28.110 So bear that in mind. 05:28.110 --> 05:30.630 It's not a particular easy trap to actually get on the board. 05:31.530 --> 05:36.300 It would require the opponent playing this kind of version to sit in the fence. 05:37.110 --> 05:46.110 So just to recap, 845, if they do play in such a manner one day with this energy sector, then you 05:46.110 --> 05:48.420 can play Bishop CIFOR, drop the bishop back. 05:48.450 --> 05:49.980 They haven't yet committed their pawns. 05:50.190 --> 05:53.040 They go for your bishop and you play E5. 05:53.550 --> 05:55.130 So, yeah, very, very interesting. 05:55.240 --> 05:56.130 Interesting trap. 05:56.430 --> 06:01.350 Bishop takes f7 check if they knew that King you can actually just play Knight. 06:02.340 --> 06:06.720 Eighty-six has Splatt the queen, the the pawns pinned against the Queen. 06:06.720 --> 06:07.860 The Queen got nowhere to run. 06:08.310 --> 06:09.480 There's absolutely crushing. 06:09.480 --> 06:10.620 You just want that queen again. 06:12.000 --> 06:14.490 OK, so worth knowing about. 06:14.490 --> 06:18.990 And the ingredients that make up this trap, especially because you might never actually experience 06:18.990 --> 06:19.560 it on the board. 06:19.830 --> 06:23.370 But it's good to know these disasters in the opening. 06:25.390 --> 06:30.840 And what made up the tactical ingredients, it's very, very interesting to find that out. 06:31.420 --> 06:35.140 So we're talking x rays, forcing moves unprotected. 06:35.140 --> 06:38.290 Queen on the 8th is a few key ingredients to my mind. 06:38.290 --> 06:40.360 They're OK and so much.
