WEBVTT 00:01.230 --> 00:08.370 Hi there in this slideshow, we're going to have an interesting opponent that wants to copy us, so 00:08.370 --> 00:11.200 we play E4 and they just copy us. 00:11.520 --> 00:12.950 Maybe they're trying to win this up. 00:13.800 --> 00:15.810 Maybe they don't know too much opening theories. 00:15.810 --> 00:17.250 So they're trying to play on the safe side. 00:17.670 --> 00:20.780 So we play our night out attacking their pawn. 00:21.120 --> 00:29.790 And in fact, they don't defend the pawn like 96, which is maybe what you will expect most of the time 00:30.270 --> 00:30.900 usually. 00:31.770 --> 00:36.030 Or they might defend their pawn with Desex, which is known as the photos, the fence. 00:36.510 --> 00:40.560 But there is another move, which is a legitimate opening, the Petroff the fence. 00:42.150 --> 00:45.360 But they might follow this up incorrectly. 00:45.720 --> 00:50.180 Quite often in chess, the power of move is in the follow up. 00:50.820 --> 00:59.670 Now here, if their intention was just to imitate you, then they have left their pawn hanging. 01:01.040 --> 01:06.690 When I say hangi means on when I see it and it means you can take that pawn. 01:07.440 --> 01:17.220 So yeah, these are other terminologies hanging on praise and PR I as a French term. 01:18.210 --> 01:21.120 So hanging means it's just hanging there to be taken. 01:22.470 --> 01:30.450 So anyway, you can take this poll and the opening move that they should play now is desex to chase 01:30.450 --> 01:31.230 your life back. 01:32.540 --> 01:34.570 Yeah, this is what should happen. 01:36.430 --> 01:40.310 And then they can take your point here, and this is actually legitimate. 01:40.330 --> 01:45.900 It's official, it's established opening theory and you might want a good line here. 01:45.910 --> 01:49.840 By the way, I'd recommend Seefried to keep the game kind of spicy. 01:49.840 --> 01:50.500 Interesting. 01:51.250 --> 01:58.150 So even though you have double pawns here, you can take like this and you get a very exciting position. 01:58.840 --> 02:06.490 I want you at the start of your chaska to experience the excitement of chess and not to have boring 02:06.490 --> 02:07.030 positions. 02:07.180 --> 02:11.470 I want you to maximize your tactical capabilities and to do so. 02:11.470 --> 02:16.150 Sometimes you do need the positions be a little bit more open rather than closed. 02:16.410 --> 02:24.430 Once I open, I mean, some pawns missing, especially like an open center, some pawns missing from 02:24.430 --> 02:27.190 the center, not completely closed. 02:27.700 --> 02:30.370 So there are some pawns missing now here. 02:31.060 --> 02:38.860 You've also got what I'd call an imbalance in the position in that you've got some potential pressure 02:38.860 --> 02:42.340 on this foul and they have some potential pressure here. 02:43.420 --> 02:47.050 There's an imbalance in this position, which is kind of interesting. 02:47.950 --> 02:49.960 And you could even cancel Queensland here. 02:49.960 --> 02:51.730 And this is great. 02:52.450 --> 02:55.610 This is a very exciting position to play from many grandmasters. 02:55.840 --> 02:57.250 I've played white from here. 02:58.120 --> 03:01.030 You're in great territory, but let's go back. 03:01.570 --> 03:05.680 And in fact, you weren't playing this major opening expos. 03:05.980 --> 03:07.150 They were just copying you. 03:07.390 --> 03:08.950 They were just absolutely copying you. 03:09.130 --> 03:10.540 And they don't play Desex. 03:10.540 --> 03:13.750 So they're not really a Petroff defense expert. 03:14.170 --> 03:18.970 They haven't been spending their weekends reading books on the Petroff defense. 03:19.330 --> 03:23.650 In fact, they were just copying you and they play nineteen eighty four. 03:25.030 --> 03:32.470 Now, if you really want to punish them for this and when I say punish, I don't mean just ignore what 03:32.470 --> 03:34.720 they've done by ignoring it. 03:34.720 --> 03:38.080 You're not going to really tap into the real downsides of this. 03:38.650 --> 03:49.660 You could ignore it, for example, for the five and no big deal, you know, and in fact this could 03:49.660 --> 03:58.450 happen and it's no big deal and no one has really got a major advantage. 03:59.140 --> 04:02.050 But you can actually punish what they've done. 04:02.050 --> 04:07.150 Let's go back and look at this possession for its own merits. 04:07.540 --> 04:14.020 So sometimes to punish what the opponent plays, you do have to look at the exact position for its own 04:14.020 --> 04:19.780 specific features, nuances, details, its own merits. 04:20.380 --> 04:27.730 And then in such a way, you can punish the opponents because the night here, unlike what they should 04:27.730 --> 04:29.590 have done, is still on a five. 04:30.250 --> 04:31.520 And that should be a hint. 04:32.230 --> 04:34.060 Something might be up here. 04:34.060 --> 04:36.250 Why is this night still on a five? 04:36.700 --> 04:39.090 Yes, they've recaptured the point, but the night still only five. 04:39.370 --> 04:40.970 This might bug you in some way. 04:40.970 --> 04:43.720 It surely is is punishable. 04:44.350 --> 04:45.550 Should this be punishable? 04:46.720 --> 04:54.400 Should you even risk breaking an opening principle to try and punish this, like moving your queen early, 04:54.760 --> 04:56.920 earlier than you might usually like? 04:57.340 --> 05:05.560 Well, in the details of this specific position, you're given a license of freedom and liberty, an 05:05.560 --> 05:13.090 important option that actually you should use, even if it apparently does break general opening principles. 05:15.240 --> 05:17.010 Which is this move queeny to? 05:20.410 --> 05:26.140 You're attacking that noise, and because I'm still on E five now, let's say. 05:28.540 --> 05:35.320 They played D5 your nine still on five, it hasn't been kicked back, now you can play differe kicking 05:35.320 --> 05:35.860 their night. 05:36.190 --> 05:41.180 Now if the night goes back, guess what move you've got here, which gives you a big advantage. 05:41.180 --> 05:42.250 Straight out the opening. 05:42.880 --> 05:46.000 So what would you play here or give you five seconds to pull the video? 05:49.480 --> 05:58.600 OK, 96, it's check, and you're hitting the queen, so they're actually going to lose their queen 05:58.600 --> 06:02.350 here like this, or if they move the queen. 06:02.680 --> 06:03.990 I mean, you just can say on Easom. 06:05.080 --> 06:10.450 So, yeah, the copy and that they've done has been punished. 06:11.140 --> 06:18.640 So sometimes you have to be on the lookout for such punishments, so afraid they haven't played the 06:18.850 --> 06:20.000 these sexy all night. 06:20.020 --> 06:22.710 Still only five in this specific position. 06:22.720 --> 06:26.380 It pays off quite well to play Queen E to. 06:28.710 --> 06:30.600 Now say they play queen in seven. 06:33.240 --> 06:34.930 This is one of their better options. 06:34.950 --> 06:40.680 You can still be in a good position, you just take care and they play this desex, they can't move 06:40.950 --> 06:44.100 without losing a queen, but you still going to be a pawn up. 06:44.580 --> 06:49.530 So here they fall, they take you take your pawn up. 06:51.000 --> 07:00.500 If you do reach this position in 1996, the recommendable move here is actually to pin the knight. 07:00.540 --> 07:01.740 This is the best move. 07:01.920 --> 07:07.680 And I encourage you to do maybe a little bit of research on this position to see some example games. 07:07.920 --> 07:10.290 This is a very, very good move. 07:12.460 --> 07:15.660 F4, you might think, is a move, but it's a little bit risky, actually. 07:15.660 --> 07:20.310 There are risk factors going on here subtlely to Bishop for. 07:21.830 --> 07:32.890 So I do not recommend this move as an example, if G5 and you don't go bishop the two now, so you go 07:32.900 --> 07:38.180 here, then they've got five and out your queens on E4 not protected by anything. 07:38.330 --> 07:39.220 So you can't take it. 07:39.230 --> 07:40.220 You can lose your queen. 07:41.240 --> 07:47.120 And if you move your queen back F4 This is a naughty trap, but to avoid all the hassle here, to take 07:47.120 --> 07:52.010 all the hassle out, the move most people play is indirectly protecting. 07:52.010 --> 07:56.750 The pawn will be five and if they take here you can actually win a piece. 07:56.750 --> 08:00.530 Bishop S.C Check and win the Queen. 08:00.710 --> 08:02.300 They can't take on five. 08:02.900 --> 08:03.210 Yeah. 08:04.050 --> 08:05.240 You're actually going to win. 08:05.240 --> 08:05.720 They're going to. 08:05.720 --> 08:06.740 That's a good move. 08:06.740 --> 08:12.890 And then you can carry on with Mitzy free even if you have to give the pawn back generally. 08:13.100 --> 08:15.290 Why is fort's be better here. 08:15.740 --> 08:17.090 But this is going a little bit far. 08:17.090 --> 08:19.490 Basically this is going a little bit far. 08:20.390 --> 08:26.870 So essentially after Difford Details details Ninety-Six just be aware of Bishop B five as the key move 08:27.260 --> 08:29.570 there if he really get to this position. 08:29.990 --> 08:36.020 OK, but essentially why is standing pretty well overall I. 08:37.700 --> 08:44.240 So let's just go back is if they really are trying to copy you, if they step back, whether it's a 08:44.240 --> 08:45.320 total disaster. 08:47.630 --> 08:48.080 So. 08:49.640 --> 08:53.750 As well, let's just mention that if they step back with annoyance, I hope you can spot what you play 08:53.750 --> 08:54.110 here. 08:56.070 --> 09:04.380 OK, it's 96, Jack, so you unveiled this discovered check and also you're hitting the queen and quite 09:04.380 --> 09:10.830 often in chess, when you overwhelm your opponents with more than one frets on a single move because 09:10.830 --> 09:16.500 it's a single term based game, you have a turnip, acetone, it's like you're overwhelming. 09:17.130 --> 09:19.590 Your opponent is a very powerful idea. 09:19.980 --> 09:27.690 And that is the basis quite often of chess tactics in general that you're sometimes winning material 09:27.690 --> 09:34.800 or winning in other ways because you're presenting more than one kind of threat that they can't really 09:34.800 --> 09:35.370 parry. 09:35.730 --> 09:37.940 So because we're attacking the king and queen. 09:38.460 --> 09:45.660 So anyway, essentially, yeah, a knight move is a total disaster. 09:45.690 --> 09:48.440 And here it's the same as a total disaster. 09:49.470 --> 09:56.220 So if you want to set this kind of trap, this is one case where you're setting a kind of trap, but 09:56.220 --> 09:57.870 it's no more opening there anyway. 09:57.870 --> 10:03.630 You haven't actually compromised your position in the slightest by taking the pawn here. 10:03.930 --> 10:07.220 And if they do this, this is actually a great move to play queen. 10:07.230 --> 10:08.610 It's a great move. 10:09.750 --> 10:10.950 And if they played five. 10:10.950 --> 10:12.030 Yeah, differe. 10:14.620 --> 10:22.210 So it's a disaster for them to go back here because of 96 check if you look at the discovery effects 10:22.210 --> 10:23.060 on the whole possession. 10:23.560 --> 10:30.340 So my my three golden rules, you know, when you look at moves ahead, like Beth Holman, you want 10:30.340 --> 10:35.020 to see weaknesses of the last move, common killer squares and the effects on the whole possession of 10:35.020 --> 10:35.850 discovery facts. 10:36.100 --> 10:38.020 So have you look at that discovery of facts. 10:38.020 --> 10:42.400 You know, it's not just where the big arrows are on on the interface that you might play online. 10:42.400 --> 10:44.500 It's it's the effect on the whole possession. 10:44.650 --> 10:51.760 Your queen's been sort of extended in scope to the king as check and you're going to win their queen. 10:52.600 --> 10:57.700 But yet the most stubborn is if they actually play Queen Elizabeth. 10:58.390 --> 11:05.950 So you can actually hear let's imagine this takes I mean, most of this, but even hey, you're winning 11:05.950 --> 11:08.980 a pawn with E takes five because that queen is Pend. 11:09.610 --> 11:14.920 So in all these lines, most of these lines, you're not being significantly better. 11:14.920 --> 11:17.650 You're significantly better here in this position. 11:18.460 --> 11:19.240 A pawn up. 11:22.230 --> 11:30.450 Now, as you get stronger in chess, you will have these like parts of your your chain, weak links 11:30.450 --> 11:37.290 in your chain, opening little game and game, and this this course kind of sets you up in in multiple 11:37.290 --> 11:40.700 departments, setting up a chain that you can start with. 11:41.280 --> 11:46.650 So, you know, you're going to be equipped with the basic opening traps and basically opening names 11:46.650 --> 11:47.520 and ideas. 11:48.090 --> 11:52.800 You're going to be equipped with basic middle game concepts and good equipment, basic Angang concepts 11:53.640 --> 11:54.630 and other stuff. 11:54.630 --> 11:58.350 So you can have some equipment as a result of this beginner's course. 11:58.770 --> 12:05.220 And as you improve in chess, you really want to improve different parts of the chain relative to each 12:05.220 --> 12:05.510 other. 12:06.150 --> 12:08.170 So just bear that in mind as well. 12:08.670 --> 12:12.890 So don't spend all your time swatting up on opening theory. 12:12.900 --> 12:14.650 There is the middle game and game. 12:15.060 --> 12:21.150 It's sort of in balance your knowledge and skills in these areas, because otherwise one part of the 12:21.150 --> 12:22.660 change is going to let down your other parts. 12:22.860 --> 12:25.790 You're let down by the weakest link in your chain. 12:26.160 --> 12:33.090 So, OK, but there's a little bit of opening theory reflected as well in what was you know, essentially 12:33.090 --> 12:36.830 the core of this is to cover this copying trap. 12:37.380 --> 12:40.560 So they're trying to copy you, but you punish them with Queene. 12:40.570 --> 12:43.620 So you don't ignore this because, you know, it's still only five. 12:43.620 --> 12:49.290 So, yeah, queeny, to bear that in mind, how you can train with this video initially to set yourself 12:49.290 --> 12:49.530 up. 12:50.430 --> 12:58.890 And even if they are playing the Petroff properly, I've also given you a good theoretical line, which 12:58.890 --> 13:04.500 for me has injected a lot of excitement into an otherwise fairly dull opening. 13:04.980 --> 13:09.090 I don't want you to play in dull ways at the start of your chess career. 13:09.780 --> 13:14.940 So this is a great way you can call the queen side quite often opposite side, cos the games are a lot 13:14.940 --> 13:16.710 of fun to be had. 13:16.870 --> 13:19.410 OK, that's so much.
