WEBVTT 00:01.050 --> 00:10.040 Hi, they're in this lecture, we see the Stanford Gumede range of tramp's, so this actually occurred 00:10.040 --> 00:10.490 in the game. 00:10.490 --> 00:15.870 Loans against Stanford played in 1950 and the correspondence came. 00:16.640 --> 00:21.830 So we see of the E4, we can play five nights a free and there is a solid defense. 00:21.830 --> 00:24.560 You can use all the parts of the fence. 00:24.950 --> 00:29.720 Petro's the fence and they take the pawn. 00:29.720 --> 00:34.760 And here, instead of playing the usual stand, the move desex. 00:34.760 --> 00:37.230 You can actually set a trap. 00:37.730 --> 00:43.100 So this is a standard opening in its own right of the 1984 game. 00:43.100 --> 00:51.770 Continues like that quite often, but you're going to make it quite exciting, setting some dangerous 00:51.770 --> 00:52.700 traps for the opponents. 00:52.700 --> 00:53.950 And you can play 96. 00:54.470 --> 01:01.610 So you're offering a whole pawn to advance so they can often take you play detailed C6. 01:01.610 --> 01:06.470 And the key point fundamentally is you set up an x ray to the opponents queen. 01:06.480 --> 01:09.430 You've also opened up both bishops, which is pretty useful as well. 01:10.160 --> 01:12.140 Both of these bishops are now opened up. 01:12.650 --> 01:20.150 So it's a position which you have interesting tactical possibilities, in fact. 01:22.500 --> 01:29.880 Now, let's say they play the move if they might be provoked by 85 to defend their pawn. 01:33.550 --> 01:37.660 Well, as a way of defending that horn, instead of playing noisy fray, as a way of defending their 01:37.660 --> 01:39.550 form, they're moving the ball forward. 01:40.420 --> 01:46.540 If they play this, then you've got a fairly comfortable position. 01:46.540 --> 01:55.520 In fact, here, for example, you can play Bishop C5 in this position and it can get quite interesting. 01:56.050 --> 01:56.920 So later. 01:58.460 --> 02:04.070 You know, say they played Bishop Itoh, you can even Amed Council on the other side of the board, 02:04.970 --> 02:10.930 the queen side, and it's it's kind of an interesting position to play with, especially on first language 02:10.940 --> 02:11.300 roles. 02:12.290 --> 02:18.620 But let's say they do actually kick the night as a way of defending the court and they kick the night. 02:20.000 --> 02:24.110 You actually have a very interesting option in 94 here. 02:27.410 --> 02:34.570 And if one plays a very bad move here, it can be a total disaster. 02:36.980 --> 02:41.780 And we're going to look at that bad move first, say they play the move differe, which seems sort of 02:41.780 --> 02:43.290 natural to kick that in right away. 02:44.870 --> 02:55.850 Guess what is what is an amazing move in this position, which actually in the correspondence game caused 02:55.850 --> 02:57.230 this to be a super miniature. 02:58.550 --> 03:02.440 In fact, it plays a move here and why actually just resigned. 03:04.320 --> 03:08.390 So back in 1950, correspondance came the move. 03:10.480 --> 03:12.160 You might want five seconds to pause video. 03:13.480 --> 03:14.080 OK? 03:15.850 --> 03:23.080 It's Bishop C5, it's looking at AFTA COCOM Square with both pieces, but if these guys are looking 03:23.080 --> 03:33.790 AFTA, how does one actually defend if dictates we play a very forcing move to sponsor based on the 03:33.790 --> 03:34.890 coins looking at each other. 03:37.670 --> 03:44.120 You might want five cents portfolio, look at the high priority forcing moves in that situation and 03:44.120 --> 03:45.010 you might find Bishop. 03:45.260 --> 03:50.780 I have to check, check, check, check, all captious, check all major threats that I made to one 03:50.780 --> 03:52.830 to bishop sites have to check. 03:53.870 --> 03:58.610 So if the king leaves here, we take on the one. 03:58.820 --> 04:02.990 We just want the coin and thinking goes to Itou. 04:03.110 --> 04:06.760 That doesn't help Bishop G for Chank rescuing. 04:07.460 --> 04:08.810 Well, kind of, yeah. 04:08.810 --> 04:11.180 It's mostly a royal skewer. 04:11.750 --> 04:12.840 And then we're taking the queen. 04:13.580 --> 04:20.090 So, yes, we made a terrible, catastrophic error in playing defraying here. 04:20.150 --> 04:25.730 In fact, there are better movies available for white and sort of differe. 04:28.330 --> 04:40.030 Such as the fall Sifry 93 Queensferry, these are all better moves than differe, but your might actually 04:40.030 --> 04:42.060 just like differe allowing this Bishop C5. 04:45.010 --> 04:48.940 So yeah, it's a very interesting trap to be aware of 04:51.550 --> 04:55.960 and it's it's a fairly interesting opening to play. 04:55.960 --> 05:00.160 If you're playing with the black pieces, it's not an entirely terrible opening here. 05:00.700 --> 05:07.570 So maybe you do want to play this solid defense in general and maybe for your first time trials you 05:07.570 --> 05:09.100 want to use it Satrap. 05:09.640 --> 05:15.790 So instead of playing desex, you sometimes play this gambit and it does seem to win a lot of games 05:16.330 --> 05:17.710 on the first time controls. 05:18.070 --> 05:21.520 People don't seem to be aware of the underlying dangers. 05:21.940 --> 05:29.460 The subtleness of the x ray is a major fundamental feature here to bear in mind the x ray kind of the 05:29.470 --> 05:33.700 queen x ray and the opponents queen through this pawn. 05:34.210 --> 05:41.560 And so, yes, when we're looking at this position, also, bear in mind it's not just the three, which 05:41.560 --> 05:45.160 could be the source, that they could be the most Afri being played. 05:46.150 --> 05:48.100 And then you've got more delightful stuff. 05:49.180 --> 05:57.880 So Queen Age for check if great takes and how you're winning the rook, that's absolutely delightful. 06:02.200 --> 06:06.700 And, you know, they certainly don't want to go out and about. 06:08.080 --> 06:13.300 You know, this this looks absolutely bad for King safety. 06:13.300 --> 06:16.120 Their king is not very happy. 06:16.120 --> 06:25.480 They're so afraid of another major kind of disaster move the bear in mind to kick this pesky knight 06:26.290 --> 06:26.800 away. 06:28.690 --> 06:31.690 So, yeah, the trap. 06:32.050 --> 06:33.180 Yeah, differe. 06:33.190 --> 06:35.800 Bishop C5 is is very, very nice. 06:36.550 --> 06:45.860 If Bishop is free to try and defend the pawn, then actually you can play Bishop takes free the obtains 06:45.880 --> 06:51.790 Queensrÿche for Chac and here we can exploit the pin with Knight. 06:51.790 --> 06:52.720 Thanks Jeoffrey. 06:53.290 --> 06:57.520 The pen poem against each one that's getting a big advantage there. 06:59.920 --> 07:04.360 If we look at this again instead of bishop if 07:07.000 --> 07:10.720 are say they play. 07:13.880 --> 07:19.800 DeFore, here, you might think I'm just going to say the --. 07:20.900 --> 07:28.910 In fact, you know, on this x ray mechanism can do better than just taking this day for --. 07:31.530 --> 07:36.960 You can actually play, believe it or not, nighttime's have to hear there's a lot of tricks of the 07:36.960 --> 07:45.060 King Zaitsev to Bishop 64 chag, what ends up losing the queen again? 07:46.720 --> 07:50.160 Here we go back to have to check winning the queen. 07:50.850 --> 07:52.050 Yeah, it's brutal. 07:52.320 --> 07:53.490 Know the mechanics of chess. 07:54.090 --> 07:55.520 This is the harsh reality of chess. 07:55.530 --> 07:58.940 It's got these amazing tactical ideas. 07:59.940 --> 08:04.680 If you love chess, you have to love tactics, even if you're going to be a more positional player later. 08:05.160 --> 08:10.680 To love tactics is to really know the brutalities of the chess board first hand. 08:10.860 --> 08:14.540 And some of these traps feature those brutalities. 08:15.810 --> 08:21.360 If King Jeoffrey, we just played Bishoprics E five Chank and we're looking at the Queen. 08:22.530 --> 08:24.990 So here we just take her and say the queen. 08:28.980 --> 08:31.920 And, you know, on King one, it's just recap here. 08:32.490 --> 08:39.230 I think you need to we've got Vasek brutal stuff indeed. 08:39.780 --> 08:42.360 So taking I mean, just take on this one. 08:46.620 --> 08:54.720 So, yeah, if you want to set a whole load of pain for the opponents with this kind of naughty trap, 08:55.560 --> 08:59.330 just bear in mind you have the opponents know the best them. 08:59.350 --> 09:04.200 Sometimes some of these traps, some traps are more kind of dodgy and controversial than others. 09:05.130 --> 09:11.940 Now, this one, you know, for the first time, Butros, where peace play and activity is generally 09:11.940 --> 09:17.250 a good priority to have, it's easier to play the role of the attacker, putting people under the pressure, 09:17.550 --> 09:24.750 forcing them to have to play precise moves, precise moves in a faster time, control like blitz cost 09:24.750 --> 09:25.230 time. 09:25.380 --> 09:30.210 So even if they can initially defend the attack, they might have invested a lot more time than they 09:30.510 --> 09:33.330 wanted to if you just played a normal opening. 09:33.750 --> 09:41.970 So the the act of just creating dynamic piece pressure is a very, very good winning tip, especially 09:42.390 --> 09:48.750 for the first time, which rolls to set the opponent real problems in solving those problems. 09:48.750 --> 09:50.490 They lose a lot of time on the clock. 09:51.030 --> 09:52.680 So this is a good point scoring. 09:54.660 --> 10:03.420 And there's an I am Eric Rosen, I think, which cannot be ignored. 10:03.810 --> 10:05.190 If you want to check. 10:05.190 --> 10:11.340 He's got a YouTube video about this Staffords, Trappes as well, and from other variations, maybe 10:11.340 --> 10:13.410 if you want to have more deep dive into this. 10:14.340 --> 10:19.140 But yeah, it's from a nineteen fifty correspondence game. 10:19.410 --> 10:25.800 So the popularity has gone up dramatically because of international author Eric Rosen. 10:26.460 --> 10:30.180 So, yeah, be aware of both sides. 10:30.450 --> 10:34.550 You know basically what to do for both sides if you want. 10:34.560 --> 10:36.000 OK, let's flip the board. 10:36.520 --> 10:41.190 You might be worried now about playing with the white pieces here, but they do play nice. 10:42.540 --> 10:45.810 C6, I'll give you the antidote. 10:47.790 --> 10:52.320 OK, so an antidote is actually just play free. 10:53.130 --> 10:54.260 Don't don't come forward. 10:54.710 --> 10:57.840 Don't don't invite the night to a fifth rank. 10:58.290 --> 11:03.630 When you invite knights to a frank like in the Siberian trap, you know, it can be really dangerous. 11:03.630 --> 11:06.180 You don't want to invite a pesky knight into your possession. 11:06.930 --> 11:13.110 And here you can actually play another solid move to covering G4 just in case that has any naughtiness 11:13.290 --> 11:14.850 in mind there with G4. 11:16.020 --> 11:21.240 So here, you know, say they did go for your king with H5. 11:21.240 --> 11:26.970 Still, you're getting a nice advantage of ninety two if 94. 11:26.970 --> 11:35.340 OK, they're threatening checkmate the fans with no referee and now you can start closing up their pieces. 11:35.340 --> 11:43.650 Defoe was the scope of the piece C for threatening C five and why it's getting a nice advantage once 11:43.650 --> 11:47.940 you close up that bishop, some of your worries are disappearing from the position. 11:48.930 --> 11:52.470 In fact, here you've got a tactical move which actually wins material. 11:52.470 --> 11:54.140 Can you spot at this? 11:54.150 --> 11:57.750 Bishop is actually a rather big problem here because you can play before. 11:58.560 --> 11:59.920 Ouch, actually. 12:00.540 --> 12:01.880 Yeah, it's a big ensemble. 12:01.880 --> 12:04.170 A lot of people will not play this way. 12:04.170 --> 12:05.880 It's good for you to know the answer, though. 12:08.280 --> 12:14.730 And that's why this trip, some of these trips might only be, you know, your your tools of choice 12:15.720 --> 12:17.170 on the force the time controls. 12:17.850 --> 12:24.360 So here's the answer, though, and that is not the kind of, you know, cover the key squares, not 12:24.360 --> 12:31.560 be provoked, forward to covering as priority, just protecting it for protecting you, for playing 12:31.560 --> 12:37.110 things very, very safe and cautiously, even if the opponent's trying to make you to just bring the 12:37.110 --> 12:42.330 other night systematically too afraid to defend H2 and then you're starting to push the opponent back. 12:42.420 --> 12:44.160 And this actually sets up a big front. 12:44.670 --> 12:46.760 And, you know, blacks in big trouble here. 12:47.940 --> 12:53.270 Big, big trouble on the side, 24 hours ahead, we're going to feel the queen and bishop. 12:53.670 --> 12:58.020 So, yes, this can be very, very controversial and. 13:01.170 --> 13:06.630 Hopefully, if you do set the trap, they're not going to play like that at all, they're just going 13:06.630 --> 13:08.760 to play it off and you're in luck. 13:09.300 --> 13:12.840 So that should put a smile on your face after 94. 13:12.840 --> 13:16.070 And they really do this, an even bigger smile on your face of bishops. 13:16.100 --> 13:23.250 If you're leveraging the power of an x ray tactic and these ingredients you definitely want to master 13:23.250 --> 13:24.830 and in their own right. 13:25.080 --> 13:26.100 So see the tactic. 13:26.110 --> 13:32.130 Section x rays come up in quite a lot of things. 13:33.690 --> 13:36.410 OK, that's much.
