WEBVTT 00:00.990 --> 00:01.660 Hi there. 00:01.890 --> 00:07.510 In this case, I want to emphasize to you why it is important in the opening to develop pieces and counsel 00:07.590 --> 00:15.960 early before thinking about active operations, which could include winning material, starting to form 00:15.960 --> 00:17.520 plans of attack, etc.. 00:18.240 --> 00:26.860 In this game, we see Grecco playing with the white pieces against and then no name E4 from Grecco B6 00:26.880 --> 00:31.140 Difford So this is classic Central Control, the pawn duo. 00:31.560 --> 00:35.580 We see Bishop B seven Bishop Differe and now Black gets greedy. 00:35.580 --> 00:41.130 Black is already trying to exploit a kind of weakness of the last move in a way with the next move. 00:41.220 --> 00:43.640 F5 Is it too greedy? 00:44.100 --> 00:49.050 Well, it is kind of active operations with the king in the in the center. 00:49.050 --> 00:51.120 The King is not beyond the fate. 00:51.120 --> 00:52.590 It hasn't safely concealed. 00:53.190 --> 00:56.120 In fact, Grecco just takes on that five offering up. 00:56.130 --> 01:00.300 Bishop takes you to and it looks as though, hold on, this rook is going to be lost. 01:02.640 --> 01:10.210 Yes, but these things are prone to backfire if you are not beyond the faith, they are prone to backfire. 01:10.230 --> 01:14.730 It looks on the surface as I hold on, you know why it's in trouble? 01:14.730 --> 01:15.570 It's going to lose Iraq. 01:16.050 --> 01:22.470 Grecco Place actually coordinates five check G six and now actually plays F takes G six. 01:22.470 --> 01:25.280 And he's actually threatening horrible things here. 01:25.680 --> 01:30.060 He's threatening if black played Bishop takes age one. 01:30.060 --> 01:32.280 I hope you can see what white plays. 01:34.980 --> 01:44.330 You know why it would play G-7 or taking and it's actually check and mate a kind of false mate pattern, 01:45.120 --> 01:54.120 so his phone is no phone or is he he plays actually have sex thinking that the queen has to scurry off 01:54.780 --> 01:57.440 and then black and indulge eating the rug. 01:57.750 --> 02:02.970 So Black was hoping for, for example, Queen Itoh and then taking the rock. 02:03.000 --> 02:05.760 Thanks very much and no problem. 02:07.320 --> 02:12.300 However, there's a nasty shock in store for the opponent here. 02:12.390 --> 02:14.790 Guess what Greco plays in this position. 02:15.120 --> 02:16.860 If I give you five seconds pause video. 02:22.190 --> 02:22.880 OK. 02:25.150 --> 02:26.780 Gee, thanks, 878. 02:26.920 --> 02:33.250 And we still have a variation of the falls male pattern now emerging black compelled, the only move 02:33.250 --> 02:34.160 is to take the queen. 02:34.930 --> 02:35.670 And guess what? 02:37.240 --> 02:39.250 Bishop Desex is checkmate. 02:41.570 --> 02:45.050 This is what happens when you're too greedy in the opening. 02:45.110 --> 02:50.360 You don't want to play like this just to win a Iraq before your you know, your king has them in castles. 02:51.050 --> 02:53.560 There's a huge potential for what I call back fire. 02:53.570 --> 02:59.960 I once did a big series, about half blank games in particular, how he's like back firing the opponents 02:59.960 --> 03:00.650 tactics. 03:00.980 --> 03:03.640 Sometimes tactics are played prematurely. 03:04.520 --> 03:06.920 You going to get past the opening in chess? 03:06.920 --> 03:12.080 You've got to put yourself beyond the feet before going on to the attack for active operations. 03:12.380 --> 03:19.220 So this is another vivid example here of what happens if you're too greedy in the opening material can 03:19.220 --> 03:23.510 often be traded off for King's safety like here. 03:23.780 --> 03:26.600 That King was really kind of unsafe. 03:26.990 --> 03:32.690 And it's like running a big underline through Black's position, the way it played it. 03:32.900 --> 03:36.320 So brilliant play from white to really punish the opponents. 03:36.320 --> 03:38.060 King still being in the center. 03:38.630 --> 03:40.460 OK, that's much.
