WEBVTT 00:01.260 --> 00:01.900 Hi there. 00:02.400 --> 00:07.110 In this lecture, we see an amazing trap in the so-called Albon Count Gambit. 00:07.470 --> 00:11.730 So off the White Plains, the fall D5 is played C4. 00:11.760 --> 00:18.780 And now if this is a very interesting and fun gambit, which I have used perhaps too many times in chess, 00:19.590 --> 00:20.730 we have details. 00:21.180 --> 00:25.510 E5 DeFore, we see white playing airfreight. 00:25.520 --> 00:26.880 This is not the best move. 00:27.930 --> 00:30.720 The best move is not Afri. 00:31.140 --> 00:36.570 So we're going to see why now after every black actually plays a key check. 00:37.560 --> 00:38.920 And now Bishop detA. 00:38.940 --> 00:43.720 And now here it seems as though Black needs to do something about this special. 00:43.770 --> 00:51.330 But in fact, the point is revealed details every year and now white snaps off that bishop, which is 00:51.330 --> 00:51.930 a mistake. 00:52.320 --> 01:00.120 White should really play offtakes every year, even if there's Queen H for check this position hitting 01:00.120 --> 01:02.430 the rook white can actually play on. 01:02.640 --> 01:05.430 And the position is not entirely terrible. 01:05.430 --> 01:11.340 For example, like this, it's not entirely terrible, but it favors blacks slightly. 01:11.760 --> 01:17.580 However, if Black takes the bishop, this is a big, big mistake. 01:18.420 --> 01:27.000 So instead of offtakes, every if one takes this Bishop Black now plays a very interesting combination. 01:27.480 --> 01:30.960 He can see what black plays here if I give you five seconds to pause the video. 01:34.130 --> 01:34.670 OK. 01:36.860 --> 01:44.150 It's etext have to check so the king can't leave, the queen of King leaves the queen. 01:44.690 --> 01:46.630 We're going to take the queen and that's it. 01:46.640 --> 01:47.450 There's no backfire. 01:48.320 --> 01:50.270 Think about the backfire aspect, though. 01:50.270 --> 01:53.750 When you are playing combination's, you don't want to find something nasty at the end. 01:54.650 --> 01:56.610 So the king goes to eat, too. 01:56.840 --> 01:59.380 But now what is the absolute best move? 01:59.390 --> 01:59.780 Black. 02:00.200 --> 02:02.360 If I give you five seconds to pause video here. 02:05.250 --> 02:06.870 So a thousand points if you get this. 02:09.110 --> 02:15.770 It's a really, really cool move indeed, so do pause the video if you need. 02:16.370 --> 02:24.030 OK, we actually under promote not so a queen but actually to a night. 02:24.050 --> 02:24.950 So it's check. 02:25.640 --> 02:31.660 So black is forcing the issue with this promotion, keeping it forcing. 02:33.410 --> 02:37.010 And this is problematic to say the least. 02:39.710 --> 02:43.640 We have a situation here where now 02:46.190 --> 02:54.300 if tanks Jiwon, the black plane's bishop, J4 check and wins the queen on day one. 02:54.860 --> 02:57.430 So, for example, here, we're just going to take the queen on day one. 02:58.250 --> 02:58.690 Yeah. 02:59.600 --> 03:03.070 So by doing this promotion, it's a real killer move. 03:04.220 --> 03:12.530 If King Iwon, then black is much better here in this position of the Queen. 03:12.530 --> 03:22.840 A full check, for example, than have what is white actually do whites in big trouble if King detA 03:23.010 --> 03:31.120 there are things like queen after check and black can actually get a huge position here. 03:32.360 --> 03:37.070 For example, 1962 Queen takes 96. 03:38.810 --> 03:42.800 Black is actually a piece up here in this position if we count the pieces. 03:42.800 --> 03:44.290 One, two, three, one, two. 03:44.810 --> 03:46.400 So let's have a look at that sequence again. 03:49.490 --> 03:54.890 So Black temporarily offers that piece is a trap against the peace. 03:54.890 --> 03:55.790 Back with check. 03:58.080 --> 04:02.330 And if that is left that, then we've actually created a new peace. 04:02.750 --> 04:06.020 So it's not as if we've just got the peace back. 04:06.920 --> 04:11.960 We've got a new piece of the king we want a good move is queen age for Jack. 04:14.180 --> 04:21.540 And this is really problematic if Jeffrey Queene for Jack will win that rook on H1. 04:22.100 --> 04:25.100 So if the king is forced to move her, yeah, we'll have to check. 04:25.490 --> 04:29.050 And we're essentially, you know, a piece up at the moment. 04:29.330 --> 04:30.620 It's a winning position. 04:33.080 --> 04:34.010 So very, very interesting. 04:34.010 --> 04:35.390 Trapped in the album counts. 04:35.740 --> 04:41.090 Let's review that again so DeFore won't casually please move it. 04:41.390 --> 04:44.750 This could easily happen in a blitz game. 04:45.860 --> 04:48.410 If you want have a little bit of fun and see if this track works for you. 04:48.440 --> 04:49.480 Yes, try out. 04:49.490 --> 04:56.560 I mean, I've played the album Count so many times and it's a fun opening in its own right. 04:56.570 --> 04:59.890 If you want something quite interesting to energize the pieces. 05:00.170 --> 05:07.160 And I would recommend it actually either systems or gambits in your first few weeks and months of chess 05:07.430 --> 05:11.000 just to get your passion for the tactics side of the game up. 05:12.330 --> 05:17.420 You might think all systems that does it, but it kind of does because you can spend more time on tactics, 05:17.420 --> 05:17.990 training. 05:18.170 --> 05:24.290 But also if you play gambits as well, you get more lively pieces, good piece activity, which leads 05:24.290 --> 05:26.070 to tactics and combinations more often. 05:26.360 --> 05:28.000 So this is a very interesting gambit. 05:28.430 --> 05:32.870 If you're looking for something against the Queen's Gambit, as in the Queen's Gambit Netflix series, 05:33.080 --> 05:40.250 The Queen's Gambit opening play, this album counts even if it was actually a favor of Paul Karez and 05:40.250 --> 05:41.820 some correspondance games as well. 05:41.840 --> 05:43.160 He experimented with this gambit. 05:43.610 --> 05:44.940 So it's a fun one. 05:44.960 --> 05:46.880 It's not entirely sound. 05:47.300 --> 05:53.510 So you might have to only use it in special time because false time controls or kind of, you know, 05:53.690 --> 05:54.980 your fun mode of chess. 05:55.880 --> 06:00.050 But it's good for training, as is a lot of games. 06:00.050 --> 06:04.960 They're good for training to get your awareness up of the power of the pieces. 06:05.480 --> 06:07.250 OK, thanks so much.
