WEBVTT 00:00.810 --> 00:01.410 Hi there. 00:01.920 --> 00:06.360 In this election, we're going to have a look at the Queen's Gambit and you may have heard about Chaske 00:06.360 --> 00:09.850 from the series on that place called the Queen's Gambit with Beth Harman. 00:10.590 --> 00:18.840 So the Queen's Gambit is what happens when you play white and you play dead, for it's not yet a Queen's 00:18.840 --> 00:19.190 Gambit. 00:19.200 --> 00:22.320 Actually, it's just Queen's own game at the moment. 00:22.770 --> 00:27.360 Now, if they play D5, you can play the Queen's Gambit with C4. 00:27.420 --> 00:34.350 It appears as though you're just giving up a pawn for what seems to be not much at the moment. 00:35.670 --> 00:38.040 Now here is where the game it gets really interesting. 00:39.990 --> 00:45.300 And in fact, what I did years back, a video about the Queen's Gambit and its traps. 00:45.630 --> 00:49.310 It was actually called a cheap video by many members of a very popular site. 00:49.860 --> 00:56.430 But, you know, it's not cheating to have knowledge of chess and knowledge of gambits and traps, especially 00:56.580 --> 01:00.390 those traps which don't even have downsides to your position. 01:00.810 --> 01:02.720 In fact, it's kind of misnamed. 01:02.730 --> 01:08.550 It's not really a gambit because black really can't keep onto the poem without damaging their position 01:09.060 --> 01:09.960 considerably. 01:10.800 --> 01:12.840 If they violate opening principles. 01:12.840 --> 01:15.840 The philosophy they're also violating is from the art of war. 01:16.410 --> 01:20.840 One needs to put oneself beyond the feet before going on the attack in general. 01:21.390 --> 01:28.680 So here, if black is too aggressive early on and takes the form and then tries to aggressively to cling 01:28.680 --> 01:30.900 onto it, you're in for a real treat. 01:31.630 --> 01:32.190 Here is why. 01:32.250 --> 01:36.960 The gambit is that traps are set really with the move free. 01:37.350 --> 01:38.960 This is a solid move here. 01:39.510 --> 01:44.430 There are other moves which might be even more solid in a way like 93. 01:45.120 --> 01:49.320 But let's say we want to play the trap systems. 01:49.950 --> 01:55.230 We can play iFrame and they try and cling on onto the pawn. 01:55.650 --> 01:59.120 So it looks as though hold on uses the pawn down here. 02:00.450 --> 02:02.620 OK, but now you play the move away. 02:02.660 --> 02:05.600 For now they don't want to give the pawn back. 02:05.970 --> 02:11.310 So let's say they play before we just have very strong moves in. 02:11.310 --> 02:14.720 For example, Queen Afri which hits that rock. 02:15.450 --> 02:20.990 I know it's bringing out the queen a little bit early, but actually in this scenario it's fairly useful. 02:21.000 --> 02:26.670 Then we get our pull back and we're looking at F7, the classic F7 and we're encouraging them to close 02:26.670 --> 02:30.680 up their bishop there on C8 and White is doing very nicely here. 02:30.720 --> 02:37.860 You have more pieces developes, so usually they won't want to give up their pawn by playing a move 02:37.860 --> 02:38.570 like before. 02:38.580 --> 02:40.470 So let's say they play bishop sex. 02:41.220 --> 02:47.910 Now here you just take on B5 Bishop takes and now let's say Knights Sifry. 02:49.980 --> 02:53.460 Now here things get super interesting. 02:55.900 --> 02:57.740 So why is it so interesting? 02:59.170 --> 03:09.730 OK, I'm about to show you in this position, if they play Bishop a sex, you have a really crushing 03:09.910 --> 03:10.450 move. 03:10.450 --> 03:18.960 The most crushing move available to you is actually to attack this unprotected rock with queen Afri. 03:19.230 --> 03:21.060 This is the most crushing movie available. 03:21.670 --> 03:23.280 They have to try and shield their rock. 03:24.100 --> 03:26.100 But now guess what? 03:26.920 --> 03:33.340 Can you see what one can actually do, which is really kind of forcing a tactically crushing combination? 03:34.060 --> 03:35.860 Can you spot it if I give you five seconds? 03:37.240 --> 03:45.730 OK, you can play rotates ASX so you're forcibly getting black to we can see 16 can take on C6 six. 03:45.730 --> 03:48.160 They have to interpose against that check. 03:48.820 --> 03:53.920 They end up losing a rock, they have to go back and then you play Jack again and then you can even 03:53.920 --> 03:56.380 scoop up the night water disaster. 03:57.280 --> 03:58.770 What a complete disaster. 03:59.140 --> 04:02.170 So the Queen's Gambit has quite a lot of venom. 04:02.620 --> 04:03.700 Let's go through that again. 04:03.700 --> 04:09.520 So if you ever want to play defo to broaden your horizons, maybe you think both of these movies are 04:09.520 --> 04:09.850 good. 04:10.510 --> 04:17.800 But usually it's recommended to start with Aelfwine explored for later and maybe even later, see for 04:17.800 --> 04:18.520 another moves. 04:19.060 --> 04:25.390 But if you did want to played for to experience the Queen's Gambit, maybe you're a that place Queen's 04:25.390 --> 04:26.130 Gambit fan. 04:26.590 --> 04:28.660 You can start with the deep one. 04:28.840 --> 04:31.330 And that's Queen's Ball game at the moment, part of the DFI. 04:31.480 --> 04:34.870 See, for now we're in Queen's Gambit territory. 04:36.700 --> 04:46.210 So they take and we play them move every note, not a fall because they have a strong move A5 now they're 04:46.210 --> 04:48.520 giving up the pawn, but they're attacking open. 04:48.910 --> 04:54.370 And you don't want to play this because this is fantastic for black, this situation. 04:54.370 --> 04:55.780 You don't want this situation. 04:56.680 --> 04:57.910 Blacks doing really well there. 04:58.810 --> 05:03.250 So it's the movie free, actually, which is really, really good. 05:06.470 --> 05:14.540 And if they find a fall and it's insufficient, how they can actually defend here, if they play C6, 05:14.540 --> 05:19.030 then we can take and we've opened up that diagram ready for Queensferry. 05:19.040 --> 05:20.710 How do they actually defend the rock here? 05:20.960 --> 05:24.610 Look, another disaster, a total disaster. 05:24.800 --> 05:25.930 How do they find the rug? 05:26.750 --> 05:30.670 They're going to lose the rug like 97 quintets eight. 05:31.490 --> 05:38.780 So this highlights that when you plan opening in general, you should really be putting your king into 05:38.780 --> 05:39.690 safety is priority. 05:39.710 --> 05:44.660 You should be counseling early, developing your pieces, putting yourself basically beyond the feet 05:44.660 --> 05:52.370 before active operations on chessboard or going on the attack is not about putting it before active 05:52.370 --> 05:53.090 operations. 05:53.420 --> 06:01.160 And this kind of demonstrates that Black is far too keen to hold on to this pawn at their peril, at 06:01.160 --> 06:01.800 their peril. 06:01.820 --> 06:06.020 This is just a lost position here of the queen Afri. 06:06.500 --> 06:08.240 Why is picking up a load of material? 06:08.540 --> 06:10.130 So this is an essential trap. 06:11.950 --> 06:16.540 To know about very, very important to know, balance in the Queen's Gambit. 06:17.610 --> 06:27.150 OK, now, if you're playing on the black side, that's flipped just the other side of the coin and 06:27.150 --> 06:34.500 you might want to play the Queen's game, accepted is a legitimate opening to say everything is legitimate 06:34.500 --> 06:38.240 opening and you want to play the queen's game and that you don't cling onto the pawn. 06:38.910 --> 06:45.480 You can just play a move like 85 so that unless they want to lose castling rights, this is just great 06:45.480 --> 06:45.810 for you. 06:46.540 --> 06:47.460 So they take her. 06:47.610 --> 06:51.810 Then he takes and they've got the so-called isolated queen's pawn. 06:51.810 --> 06:53.070 And you've got a decent position. 06:53.070 --> 06:59.010 Basically her IQ people say Queen's Ball and you know, that's opening in its own right. 06:59.100 --> 07:00.510 The Queen's Gambit, isn't it? 07:00.990 --> 07:05.630 So it really depends on the follow ups is a pattern. 07:05.640 --> 07:07.220 I'm hoping you observe her. 07:07.710 --> 07:10.050 Sometimes a move can be good. 07:10.620 --> 07:14.780 If it's follow up is good, it can be terrible if it's follow up is terrible. 07:15.750 --> 07:21.870 So, OK, just one last time on iFrame a terrible idea is B five. 07:21.870 --> 07:27.690 So hopefully you're on the bright side here and you play four and there are disasters in waiting. 07:27.690 --> 07:31.410 If they play six, eight by the way, then we just take that rook. 07:31.680 --> 07:32.790 So that's no good either. 07:34.140 --> 07:34.500 Yeah. 07:34.500 --> 07:35.400 It's just no good. 07:35.400 --> 07:39.050 Bishop D seven or eight six is the same effect. 07:39.320 --> 07:41.640 The bishop ends up transposes being on B five. 07:42.120 --> 07:46.710 So we play this move not we play in this situation. 07:48.780 --> 07:57.100 Yeah, we play this, they're trying to cling onto their pawn then queen Afri and I'm Robert A6 and 07:57.100 --> 07:58.770 then Bang Queen 66. 07:59.190 --> 08:00.570 So we scoop up a rook. 08:00.570 --> 08:02.910 This is the most dramatic way and then we scoop up the night. 08:03.360 --> 08:07.410 OK, so I hope you practice the lines from both sides. 08:07.410 --> 08:13.930 If you do want a simple battle against evil, you can play the Queen's game accepted, but with an early 08:14.130 --> 08:15.930 five as shown. 08:17.280 --> 08:22.290 But if you're on the right side and you want to set this trap up, yeah, hopefully that materialistic. 08:22.560 --> 08:23.760 So in general, yes. 08:23.970 --> 08:30.120 In general, opening principles, which I want to use this opportunity to reinforce your job in the 08:30.120 --> 08:35.010 opening is really to develop your pieces. 08:35.460 --> 08:43.410 Castle early, then think about active operations after as a sequence, you need to be in the ready 08:43.410 --> 08:45.150 state for active operations later. 08:45.480 --> 08:46.560 It's no good developing. 08:46.560 --> 08:52.590 Only some of your pieces have you develop more of them by not moving the same pace twice. 08:52.800 --> 08:57.630 Hopefully you're not too greedy trying to cling on spawns at the expense of development and king safety 08:58.410 --> 08:59.040 as shown here. 08:59.040 --> 09:02.520 It can be absolutely fatal if you if you do that. 09:03.360 --> 09:04.680 OK, that's a much.
