WEBVTT 00:01.020 --> 00:01.650 Hi there. 00:01.950 --> 00:06.300 In this case, we're going to look at the principle of not bringing out the queen too early, sometimes 00:06.300 --> 00:12.450 it makes our positions very difficult to play if our positions are very difficult to play, our ability 00:12.450 --> 00:17.010 to find the correct follow ups, which makes moves, in my view, strong or weak. 00:17.010 --> 00:17.840 It's the follow up. 00:18.570 --> 00:24.780 It becomes increasingly incredibly hard as a task to actually find the most accurately accurate follow 00:24.780 --> 00:25.060 ups. 00:25.800 --> 00:30.440 So here we see Grecco playing EFORE if I want. 00:30.470 --> 00:36.330 Now, this is a gambit which if you're a complete newcomer, a chance you should really try out the 00:36.330 --> 00:43.950 king's gambit, even though it's not a professional opening used by many top grandmasters, except maybe 00:43.950 --> 00:44.610 in chess. 00:44.610 --> 00:50.840 Occasionally it's great to get a fill of the pieces and their power to play the King's gambit. 00:51.270 --> 00:58.020 It's a, you know, romantic era opening where it was thought to be, you know, cowardice if you didn't 00:58.020 --> 00:59.570 accept the opponent's gambit. 01:00.240 --> 01:04.110 So we have eatings for Bishop CIFOR. 01:04.140 --> 01:08.190 This is a popular alternative to knights Afri. 01:08.550 --> 01:14.250 So it's positively inviting the bishops government, as it's called, inviting Quiñones for change. 01:14.670 --> 01:18.600 But this position on King AF1 is actually quite interesting. 01:18.930 --> 01:25.530 It seems as though blacks are a bit too keen on using the queen early and trying to bring out a quick 01:25.530 --> 01:26.190 checkmate. 01:26.730 --> 01:34.860 So they play Bishop C5 and yes, there is a common Skane F2 and in a way, you know, using the best 01:34.860 --> 01:40.590 resources in the middle game around squares of the opponents king like your queen, if you can get your 01:40.590 --> 01:47.430 queen quite often they're the opponents king assuming your queen can't be kicked away easily, sometimes 01:47.430 --> 01:49.050 that's a very good idea in the middle game. 01:49.320 --> 01:58.800 Now, any opening, the same principle holds really that if the queen and bishop can be repulsed, if 01:58.800 --> 02:03.240 they can be kicked back, you're actually going to be gaming developments. 02:04.570 --> 02:11.350 Central control, and those will be used to damage potentially the king safety or you can even just 02:11.350 --> 02:12.110 win material. 02:12.610 --> 02:18.130 Now, here there's a great way of parrying the fans already that's kind of made a mistake. 02:18.130 --> 02:24.910 Black should have been concerns of the gains made already and just try and make the position more solid 02:24.910 --> 02:25.650 with Desex. 02:25.990 --> 02:27.360 So this is already a mistake. 02:28.980 --> 02:35.520 Bishop Civicus, why has now the powerful defore, so this opens up this bishop extends the scope of 02:35.520 --> 02:37.520 the queen, it hits this bishop. 02:38.160 --> 02:41.890 So the bishop moves and now we're getting another development, Tampoe. 02:42.240 --> 02:42.390 And. 02:43.410 --> 02:45.180 This is a really bad scenario. 02:45.210 --> 02:49.620 You don't really want your queen to be out on the bell before your pieces. 02:49.890 --> 02:51.110 You know, they're still on holiday. 02:51.110 --> 02:52.680 Your pieces are still on holiday. 02:53.280 --> 02:57.930 So bringing out the queen early is another instance of a way you can actually not develop pieces. 02:57.930 --> 03:02.430 In a way, it's underlining that central concept, you know, not developing pieces. 03:02.430 --> 03:06.090 Her pieces have not been developed spectator pieces, as I keep calling them. 03:07.140 --> 03:09.120 Yeah, I used to call them as separate pieces. 03:10.290 --> 03:12.560 So there's just pieces. 03:12.620 --> 03:14.590 Is the Queen's been out too early. 03:14.610 --> 03:15.780 The queen sticks around. 03:16.230 --> 03:18.300 The Queen wants to stick around and about. 03:18.540 --> 03:20.640 All he's doing is holding this poem. 03:21.180 --> 03:23.370 So perhaps Black just wanted to hold the pawn. 03:25.140 --> 03:32.070 The problem is the Queen is the most valuable piece on the chessboard and winning the opponents queen, 03:32.190 --> 03:33.690 you know, often wins games. 03:34.200 --> 03:38.740 And there's a great tactic that white plays now to exploit the position of the queen. 03:39.510 --> 03:42.000 I wonder if you can spot it. 03:42.690 --> 03:44.550 The queen should have just scurried back. 03:45.360 --> 03:45.750 But why? 03:45.790 --> 03:46.890 It would have been better after. 03:47.460 --> 03:48.120 This should have happened. 03:48.120 --> 03:49.860 The queen should have just scurried back. 03:50.160 --> 03:51.770 The queen didn't scurry back. 03:52.680 --> 03:56.780 So now punishment is handed out for the Queen's possession here. 03:57.390 --> 04:00.890 So if I give you five seconds pause video, what would you play in this position? 04:05.920 --> 04:12.550 Now, also, the queen is a protected piece, the bishops not protecting the queen here, there's a 04:12.550 --> 04:17.650 disconnect between the bishop and the queen because that poem the is not a protected piece. 04:17.920 --> 04:22.510 And there's a saying in Chinese on protective pieces tend to fall off the board quite easily. 04:23.710 --> 04:25.570 So there's a tactic here. 04:25.570 --> 04:32.650 Chacal checks, Jackel captures chacal frat's of one and two to get those very forcing moves that you 04:32.650 --> 04:37.390 should be calculating, like Beth Bahaman in your head, saying that several moves ahead. 04:37.810 --> 04:43.000 But the trick is that, you know, if they're more forcing, then it's easier to anticipate what the 04:43.000 --> 04:43.750 opponents will play. 04:43.750 --> 04:45.600 As you're limiting the opponents replies. 04:45.970 --> 04:48.640 The key move here is Bishop takes F7 Chank. 04:50.260 --> 04:51.740 This is really great for white. 04:52.180 --> 04:55.690 Now, in this game, blat made things even worse. 04:55.690 --> 04:56.980 I mean, this is a bad position. 04:57.820 --> 05:01.060 Blacklight King takes f7 and guess what? 05:01.330 --> 05:02.320 What are we play here? 05:05.330 --> 05:09.980 OK, it's 95, check and look at the effect on the whole board. 05:10.010 --> 05:13.130 We're actually opening our queen on G4 and that's laminated piece. 05:13.490 --> 05:18.370 So essentially we're just going to take the opponent's queen now, the a knight or queen we can take 05:18.380 --> 05:19.780 with the Knights as an example. 05:20.090 --> 05:23.180 And that was the end of this particular game of Grecco. 05:23.180 --> 05:28.370 He destroyed his opponent like that, demonstrating that you shouldn't really bring out your queen too 05:28.370 --> 05:28.790 early. 05:29.090 --> 05:34.880 Now, if we go back here, if Queen 86, that would have been a little bit better. 05:34.880 --> 05:36.890 You know, 95 is still dangerous, though. 05:37.550 --> 05:44.240 Look how the lack of development doesn't really help the poor F7 square, which is being attacked at 05:44.250 --> 05:48.830 difficult in this particular position to the fans f7. 05:50.850 --> 05:57.930 Isn't that if 97, we could actually them play night six after forking that queen again and the Rook 05:57.930 --> 06:04.430 Black's best queen C6, what ends up with advantage of the bishop, the five and then taking the rook 06:04.430 --> 06:05.450 hand with advantage? 06:06.450 --> 06:12.330 So anyway, the main variation of the game, what we call murmuration 24, was fate. 06:12.780 --> 06:14.660 These other questions are very interesting to ask. 06:14.670 --> 06:16.130 I love I love that kind of thing. 06:16.140 --> 06:19.350 Annotating games, asking all sorts of weird and wonderful questions. 06:19.620 --> 06:22.220 If you do that with your own games, your progress even faster. 06:22.530 --> 06:23.920 It's like you play one game of chess. 06:23.920 --> 06:29.400 But in a way, if you can't do post-mortem analysis of it, if you kept the notation neat and tidy, 06:29.880 --> 06:34.320 then you can start asking questions, checking revenge and taking other people with questions and answers. 06:34.320 --> 06:38.340 In a way, it's like you played 100 games instead of just one and you've got 100 questions. 06:38.670 --> 06:40.590 So try and, you know, question and answer. 06:40.590 --> 06:46.590 Draw conclusions, look at patterns, look at philosophise as a result, try and leverage any games 06:46.590 --> 06:47.730 you play as much as possible. 06:47.730 --> 06:53.490 Asking questions in general by Hey Kwangju four in the main branch, the game is a disaster. 06:54.540 --> 06:58.200 Quidditch six is not not brilliance as mentioned. 06:59.670 --> 07:01.950 And OK, there's another question here though. 07:01.950 --> 07:04.920 What if King of eight, is it so bad? 07:05.610 --> 07:06.510 Is it so bad? 07:06.510 --> 07:09.240 King of eight actually in this position? 07:09.480 --> 07:10.230 You know what? 07:11.850 --> 07:15.060 We're actually stopping the queen going in reverse, scare her. 07:15.060 --> 07:20.520 And in fact, that queen we can actually nudge it to Jeffrey. 07:20.880 --> 07:22.770 Yeah, the queen can't go back anywhere else. 07:22.770 --> 07:23.100 Right. 07:23.880 --> 07:26.190 So because the bishop takes. 07:26.190 --> 07:26.480 Yeah. 07:26.730 --> 07:27.510 Knight takes. 07:28.110 --> 07:31.110 So I hope you agree that the only square is Jeoffrey. 07:32.550 --> 07:34.260 And this is starting to be awkward. 07:34.260 --> 07:36.810 You know why it plays here, which is really crushing. 07:39.750 --> 07:40.460 What does white play? 07:40.470 --> 07:43.290 Hey, you think you maybe your bishop now, or is there a strong move? 07:48.250 --> 07:54.490 So the Socratic method, Socrates, ask questions, answers, questions, answers through the process, 07:55.060 --> 08:00.900 you'll become good at chess, just, you know, questioning, answering here. 08:01.300 --> 08:02.100 You don't have to be. 08:02.460 --> 08:04.480 There's a stronger Nici free. 08:07.140 --> 08:11.340 I mean, if they want what's the point and what you plan this position? 08:15.950 --> 08:23.990 Ninety two very limited replies for the opponents, they can only go to G six and now ninety five check 08:24.500 --> 08:26.780 and you've just won the Queen with big advantage. 08:27.350 --> 08:35.420 So, yeah, the whole the whole story here is a story underlining that sometimes well there's a few 08:35.420 --> 08:35.700 angles. 08:35.720 --> 08:37.550 Sometimes you might want to try the King's gambit. 08:37.550 --> 08:38.960 You might want to try this Bishopsgate. 08:39.370 --> 08:45.080 It was a favorite of the policies that sometimes pointed this out, like Judit Polgar with great facts 08:45.080 --> 08:46.820 against even Grandmaster sometimes. 08:47.750 --> 08:50.950 So this is a fun opening for you to try out as well, guys. 08:51.590 --> 08:57.860 So but anyway, bringing the queen out here and trying to chat made you think, well, this is a great 08:57.860 --> 09:02.810 reason that I can get huge development advantage after the fall and hit that queen. 09:03.170 --> 09:04.430 The queen sticks around. 09:04.790 --> 09:05.780 She's a big target. 09:05.780 --> 09:07.100 Currently, she's unprotected. 09:07.580 --> 09:08.350 Big tactic. 09:08.360 --> 09:13.820 Now, Bishop takes F7 check throughout this course and your enjoyment of chess. 09:13.820 --> 09:19.220 Initially, your calculation of forcing moves is is very, very significant. 09:19.460 --> 09:23.870 And by the way, sometimes it's not always brilliant to actually play out the forcing moves. 09:24.230 --> 09:28.760 Like I've said, you really need the fundamental awareness. 09:29.740 --> 09:32.390 Etc., You don't always have to play what you're aware of. 09:32.890 --> 09:38.860 You have the awareness of forcing moves and variations, sometimes you might be accidentally giving 09:38.860 --> 09:42.400 the apparent advantage you're not always going to be playing, forcing moves by hand. 09:42.430 --> 09:47.410 This is a special case where the Forese moves actually do give you a lot to write home about. 09:47.620 --> 09:50.920 A lot of advantage to celebrate here, OK. 09:51.010 --> 09:53.440 I hope the lesson has been undermined a bit. 09:53.740 --> 09:58.320 Sometimes it's not a good idea, even though it might seem lucrative to checkmate the opponent quickly. 09:58.330 --> 10:01.270 It's not a good idea sometimes to bring the queen out early. 10:01.700 --> 10:03.640 OK, and so much.
