WEBVTT 00:01.160 --> 00:09.620 Hi there in this picture, we're going to see a very, very interesting opening or system in that you 00:09.620 --> 00:10.520 can play this. 00:12.040 --> 00:19.900 The first few moves largely independent of the opponent's moves and Powell, Benko really had great 00:19.900 --> 00:30.730 success with this novel first move, Jeoffrey, and it became sometimes known as the house opening. 00:30.730 --> 00:37.800 But it's also got other names, the Kings fan chapter opening, the Hungarian, opening the box opening, 00:37.820 --> 00:38.620 the public opening. 00:38.620 --> 00:41.040 Some other players have also made use of it. 00:41.470 --> 00:45.340 So sometimes in opening names, there's good points for you to check out. 00:45.520 --> 00:52.750 The games of those players by Pau Banco used that to defeat both Fisher and Tau in the 1962 Kansas, 00:52.750 --> 00:53.940 Thomas Curacao. 00:56.110 --> 01:00.550 So Benko versus Fisher, I'm going to show you. 01:00.550 --> 01:03.070 So Fisher played by Bishop Jita. 01:03.640 --> 01:07.440 So you think cazzo and then you play for you don't move this night. 01:07.480 --> 01:08.440 This is a key feature. 01:08.440 --> 01:09.880 You don't move that night yet. 01:10.860 --> 01:15.460 You, in fact, leave the bishop to have scope. 01:15.550 --> 01:22.990 He played the if you get the chance like this and you put the night on E to and from this possession, 01:23.380 --> 01:29.170 you know, this is we're following now Benko against Fisher. 01:30.370 --> 01:32.230 So it's a very, very nice example. 01:32.230 --> 01:40.570 In 1962, White does have a pleasant possession and the theoretical burden is minimal, as you might 01:40.570 --> 01:40.990 expect. 01:40.990 --> 01:42.190 If you can get this position. 01:43.030 --> 01:44.830 This is like opening principles anyway. 01:44.830 --> 01:47.620 Try and get a duo of pawns in the center. 01:48.040 --> 01:50.140 It reflects key opening principles. 01:50.140 --> 01:52.240 But we're supporting central control. 01:52.760 --> 01:53.980 We're having Catoe. 01:56.220 --> 02:06.330 So it is logical in terms of opening principles and here why it plays a five we have 884 1994 95, which 02:06.330 --> 02:11.880 is trying to put pressure on this Eappen age free rookie aide. 02:13.650 --> 02:20.210 And we have Ruki one night after 7:00, Bishop Infrequency seven. 02:20.670 --> 02:26.260 I like to sometimes show you a clear game example because it shows the opening and and, you know, 02:26.280 --> 02:28.140 opening ENTYVIO game into Endgame. 02:28.740 --> 02:34.110 And here in the mental game, we can see, for example, we have a certain structure which is very, 02:34.110 --> 02:37.020 very pleasing, potentially this kind of backward pawn. 02:37.380 --> 02:44.190 It's a weak pawn because it has dependencies of pieces to have to defend it later Tanzanians rather 02:44.190 --> 02:45.180 than fellow pawns. 02:45.510 --> 02:51.630 So if you can get this, this is a good sign, you know, this backward desex pawn and Benko puts, 02:52.350 --> 02:55.080 you know, a lot of pressure in the center. 02:55.290 --> 03:01.290 And dislodges now that key central neutze, one of the more advanced pieces in the position. 03:01.530 --> 03:05.790 So phishers, pretty passive, but now a key position to move B5. 03:07.320 --> 03:13.680 And it looks as I once got an amazing position now weakening the lights as undermining black on the 03:13.690 --> 03:16.650 white squares, we have 1964. 03:18.890 --> 03:28.520 If C5, then 96 is a very nice move for us, all this possession, 95, and you know, we're winning 03:28.520 --> 03:29.090 the queen. 03:29.620 --> 03:35.200 The queen has been checkmated, as brutal as that, as a variation against Bobby Fisher. 03:35.210 --> 03:38.350 You know, less than 20, that's a brutal violation. 03:38.900 --> 03:41.140 So we have 964 instead from Fisher. 03:41.150 --> 03:41.810 Bishop, thanks. 03:42.140 --> 03:47.010 So bishops come off, see five Queen detA and still there's the backwood pawn. 03:47.900 --> 03:50.690 So this is like, you know, linkage to a middle game plan. 03:51.740 --> 03:58.460 Rook 81, rookie 65, not minding the bishops coming off there. 03:59.240 --> 04:02.480 And there's persistent pressure on this. 04:02.480 --> 04:09.590 Diffa and Y actually wins the desex pawn and simplifies. 04:09.590 --> 04:15.560 Now, when you're up in material, you want to exchange pieces, not pawns. 04:15.560 --> 04:21.230 So exchanging works helps White's cause to simplify the position and try and get the queens off to further 04:21.230 --> 04:26.360 simplify the position where a pawn up we want to simplify even against legendary Bobby Fischer, or 04:26.360 --> 04:30.650 rather especially against the very resourceful Bobby Fischer. 04:30.650 --> 04:37.880 We want to exchange pieces where movements up like even a pawn because a pawn can win the game eventually. 04:38.180 --> 04:40.190 So Ninety-four trying to exchange more pieces. 04:40.190 --> 04:42.380 So this is really going in its favor. 04:42.770 --> 04:44.060 All the simplification. 04:44.390 --> 04:51.200 And the wonderful thing here is the pawn is immune to capture. 04:51.200 --> 04:52.250 We have these seven. 04:52.490 --> 04:54.500 You might wonder why is that? 04:54.500 --> 04:55.140 Kings Cross. 04:55.910 --> 04:59.180 I will show you if Rook takes Desex. 05:00.830 --> 05:04.190 Guess what we can play here if I give you five seconds. 05:04.190 --> 05:04.940 Pause Viniar. 05:07.820 --> 05:13.910 OK, we can pin that rock, it's sometimes very nice if the opponent gives us these pens, even a relative 05:13.910 --> 05:15.850 pin is actually rather painful here. 05:16.400 --> 05:17.510 There's no backfire. 05:17.520 --> 05:19.480 The queen is supported by the pawn, thankfully. 05:19.880 --> 05:23.840 So, you know, if you're looking for a backfire against pennies, sometimes there's no backfire. 05:23.870 --> 05:24.830 We can just take here. 05:25.370 --> 05:29.270 So black is actually just losing material, you know, losing a whole Rockfeller. 05:33.660 --> 05:40.260 And, you know, if King is seven, then there's actually Queen G7 Jack. 05:41.710 --> 05:47.410 And this just gets nasty, you know, for example, here, it just gets nasty, eventually will take 05:48.040 --> 05:48.940 and then take her. 05:49.240 --> 05:53.660 So it's immune essentially in a nutshell that that person is immune. 05:54.430 --> 06:00.730 So we have fish playing Routley, seven Queens, CSX, and this is a very, very difficult position 06:00.730 --> 06:04.750 for black with that pawn stuck there on the. 06:04.970 --> 06:11.620 So here this is a bit of a desperate ploy by Fisher for potential counterplay, but they'll have one 06:11.620 --> 06:12.880 further simplifying. 06:12.890 --> 06:18.400 This is a great game actually, from the point of view, acidifying to win, just a pawn up. 06:18.400 --> 06:19.510 Very, very great game. 06:20.050 --> 06:23.710 And even though Adres lost, the queen comes back to try and simplify. 06:24.940 --> 06:33.040 And again, eventually the game and the Tower of the Queen, a tree check if the game played out, you 06:33.040 --> 06:38.200 know, once got these very, very dangerous pawns of the game played out here with their queen due to 06:38.480 --> 06:44.410 the them, white can play like this technically to evade the checks eventually and start pushing the 06:44.410 --> 06:44.920 pawns. 06:46.180 --> 06:51.220 Yeah, there is a there is a bit of work to do, but eventually the pawns start to get pushed decisively 06:51.610 --> 06:52.120 by the game. 06:52.120 --> 06:54.390 Actually ended with Queen Retrack. 06:55.060 --> 07:01.300 So when we look at, I think opening with an example game, we do get hints at the middle game potential 07:01.660 --> 07:03.460 and we see that with this thing. 07:03.460 --> 07:13.320 Catoe if the opponent does play in such a manner to kind of relieve the central tension, that's kind 07:13.330 --> 07:14.890 of kind of relieving the central tension. 07:15.160 --> 07:20.560 And they do leave themselves with potentially back reporting, it seems, you know, tactically we can 07:20.560 --> 07:22.240 try and pressure that nature and win that. 07:22.570 --> 07:24.580 And you simplify tactics like in this game. 07:24.850 --> 07:26.620 So we've got a nice template there as well. 07:26.620 --> 07:27.880 Just one example game. 07:28.030 --> 07:33.400 But ideally, you want to arm itself with lots of model games to back up any opening or system choice. 07:33.760 --> 07:39.970 You should have an idea of general middle game plans, not just, you know, an initial opening sequence. 07:40.750 --> 07:47.560 So but the Banquo's Benko system characteristic is that we're placing value in this Fankhauser more, 07:47.560 --> 07:54.220 placing value in not blunting the scope of the best that we're putting on night on two as a priority. 07:55.380 --> 08:02.610 OK, so it's an interesting system in your own games, and you might want to check out games of Benko, 08:03.600 --> 08:05.980 let him be your pal on this occasion. 08:06.270 --> 08:07.860 OK, and so much.
