WEBVTT 00:00.900 --> 00:02.710 I am in this lecture. 00:02.730 --> 00:08.550 We're going to have a look at a trap that you can play if you play the Sicilian defense, so your opponent 00:08.550 --> 00:14.640 plays if you play said in defense, they play the Smith Moore gambit, which is quite popular nowadays. 00:15.510 --> 00:23.460 So after taking Sifry, you take this pawn 19 suffering and then you play nice desex. 00:25.110 --> 00:28.850 They play like free play ESX, they play Bishop CIFOR. 00:28.860 --> 00:30.210 This is pretty standard stuff. 00:31.830 --> 00:34.050 You play Queen C7 here. 00:34.260 --> 00:37.260 This is a very interesting move in this position. 00:38.070 --> 00:40.950 So they cancel and now you play things. 00:42.210 --> 00:48.420 They play Queene two and now it seems as though you're pretty direct with this, things like G4. 00:49.110 --> 00:54.270 But you know, with such direct play, I've often won games, especially at first time, which it's 00:54.270 --> 00:56.580 a great point scorer to be pretty direct. 00:56.580 --> 01:01.380 Sometimes disasters can happen when you have kind of telecom and squares. 01:02.340 --> 01:08.300 So there's a common square being constructed here between your early queen move and the soft spot. 01:08.310 --> 01:09.660 If only the night wasn't there. 01:10.020 --> 01:17.640 Now, whiteners position can very, very easily play a total disaster move, which is worth knowing 01:17.640 --> 01:18.030 about. 01:18.720 --> 01:23.040 The total disaster move is actually rather tempting just to kick this nice way. 01:24.000 --> 01:27.870 So they play H3 and it is a disaster. 01:28.290 --> 01:31.440 Can you see what plan plays out if I give you five seconds pause video. 01:34.720 --> 01:43.420 So, as you know, many times, the case in chess, when you're frightened, you can sometimes be aware 01:44.050 --> 01:45.160 of that fact. 01:45.190 --> 01:46.920 That's very important every single night. 01:47.230 --> 01:48.750 Sometimes you can make it big threat. 01:49.030 --> 01:52.380 Sometimes you can just play forcing moves which completely crushed the opponent. 01:53.920 --> 01:59.710 So bear in mind, actually, ideally, you don't want to just be moving pieces defensively. 02:00.220 --> 02:03.720 You want to be looking at your high priority, forcing moves in chess. 02:04.060 --> 02:05.600 And here, this is a great example. 02:05.600 --> 02:11.080 That's actually a very, very high priority, forcing move you should consider in this position, regardless 02:11.410 --> 02:12.270 of the threat. 02:12.280 --> 02:13.300 It's good to be aware of that. 02:13.300 --> 02:20.290 But regardless of that, you can play a move which is really quite devastating to the one position. 02:20.650 --> 02:24.870 And that move is if you do want a portfolio, I'll give you another five cents portfolio. 02:26.020 --> 02:30.230 If you prioritize the forcing moves, you should find night defore. 02:30.640 --> 02:35.830 It hits the queen and heads the night and waits in huge trouble. 02:36.250 --> 02:39.430 Huge, huge trouble, for example. 02:40.540 --> 02:48.430 If the queen moves now, you can play Knight takes every check they have to respond to the check and 02:49.270 --> 02:50.800 Queen Ajita is checkmate. 02:52.330 --> 02:59.860 What a disaster if they take her, you're actually playing queen to check mate support for the other 02:59.860 --> 03:00.160 night. 03:01.240 --> 03:03.370 So what on earth can they actually do? 03:03.400 --> 03:06.170 Well, they're just losing material. 03:06.190 --> 03:15.190 I mean, if they parry that diagonal, you just going to take their queen out big material of taking 03:15.190 --> 03:15.610 their queen. 03:15.620 --> 03:17.730 So it's a devastating trap to be aware of. 03:18.700 --> 03:22.780 It seems, you know, it's pretty direct looking at this. 03:23.160 --> 03:29.290 I used to pull you might wonder actually came squasher, what should we play? 03:29.830 --> 03:38.020 This position has already rather the tricky parts why it can't play the one and efficiency five. 03:39.130 --> 03:39.800 The best move. 03:39.820 --> 03:45.850 Why is that B five queen goes back a tree and you can still play aggressively with five. 03:47.080 --> 03:49.570 And it's a very, very exciting musicians play from. 03:49.990 --> 03:52.900 It's worth trying out this position, you know, activating your rook. 03:53.470 --> 03:58.090 But why in theory could end up on top if they really, really know what they're doing. 03:58.600 --> 04:06.340 But in general, the mood sequence for black, if we read one, this is not entirely bad as a way of 04:06.340 --> 04:08.440 handling this gambit. 04:08.440 --> 04:15.010 So accepting the pawn and then Ninety-Six and then you play ESX. 04:17.390 --> 04:22.610 So this means that when your queen's on C7, there is, for example, 95 hitting the queen. 04:23.580 --> 04:27.510 If they hit the queen with 95, you can just drop back here to be eight. 04:28.420 --> 04:31.550 So say they cancel 96 Klimov. 04:33.330 --> 04:35.310 And then 94 here. 04:35.630 --> 04:38.250 Yeah, it's a trap definitely worth knowing about. 04:38.640 --> 04:43.470 It also highlights more fundamentally we should really look at what these traps highlight fundamentally, 04:43.770 --> 04:47.610 even if they never even if none of these traps happen in your games. 04:48.030 --> 04:52.110 It's good to know these kind of disasters in the opening. 04:53.040 --> 04:55.850 It's like nine super short miniature games. 04:56.580 --> 04:58.590 Why did these disasters actually happen? 04:58.620 --> 05:00.220 What were the tactical ingredients? 05:00.660 --> 05:05.850 Well, here, you know, there's a killer common scam potentially that's forcing moves in this high 05:05.850 --> 05:11.640 priority, forcing most there's an overload overwhelmingly with more than one threat. 05:12.330 --> 05:14.600 So this is a classic example of that. 05:14.610 --> 05:18.420 So bear this kind of fundamental idea in mind. 05:18.420 --> 05:22.710 The fundamental idea is that this represents OK and so much.
