WEBVTT 00:01.080 --> 00:01.710 Hi there. 00:01.870 --> 00:08.190 And I'd like to introduce you to the whole system, so this is named after Edgar Cole, a very, very 00:08.190 --> 00:09.200 strong player. 00:09.780 --> 00:14.990 And what better way of showing you the Cole system by showing one of his fantastic wins with it? 00:15.510 --> 00:17.930 So this was played in Hastings, 1928. 00:18.300 --> 00:20.110 His opponent was Victor Berger. 00:20.970 --> 00:23.670 So it's two birds with one stone here, guys. 00:24.720 --> 00:29.970 We're going to have a look at the opening, make considerations about the opening and see how it leads 00:29.970 --> 00:32.520 to the middle game and potentially winning a tie. 00:32.880 --> 00:34.710 So there's no end game, potentially. 00:36.690 --> 00:44.090 So, OK, DeFore from AKOKO and we seem to have sex every day. 00:44.220 --> 00:50.040 Five Now, the London system would have you know, usually you'd get the bishop outside the pawn train 00:50.040 --> 00:51.150 in the London system. 00:51.810 --> 00:57.480 But we have here a free and you might think this is about odd blocking in the bishop. 00:58.200 --> 01:01.050 There are some perks to this idea. 01:01.590 --> 01:10.890 It does mean that whites can immediately put the bishop on the free anymore without delay as much as 01:10.890 --> 01:13.470 if Bishop efore, if so, less of a delay. 01:13.980 --> 01:20.430 And that in itself is a little upside kind of micro upside, the quickly being able to play for later, 01:20.430 --> 01:26.730 more correctly, if you get to play for later and we'll see that then this bishops opens up later. 01:26.910 --> 01:31.050 It's not in a prison forever behind its own form. 01:31.530 --> 01:38.430 So we see Bishop is seven might be two black counsels, white counsels might be the seven. 01:38.940 --> 01:42.180 And yeah, now I've always played. 01:44.040 --> 01:49.860 So this threatens a very, very dangerous pull match which would drive away the defensive knights, 01:50.130 --> 01:54.870 which in turn would mean age seven is significantly weaker. 01:54.870 --> 01:56.970 So black actually took only four. 01:57.090 --> 02:04.020 We have been successful 1984, Bishop 64, and I might have said so, hitting that bishop. 02:04.770 --> 02:13.110 The Bishop drops back C five and I went just took on C5 here rather than trying to support the form. 02:13.440 --> 02:19.530 If you support the pawn with Sisay free, sometimes you could end up with, for example, the IQ, the 02:19.530 --> 02:20.820 isolated Queen's pawn. 02:21.060 --> 02:23.820 And this can mean it's a bit of a vulnerability. 02:24.330 --> 02:26.400 It needs pieces to support it. 02:26.970 --> 02:29.850 That's the problem sometimes with the answer to Queen's pawn. 02:30.720 --> 02:39.570 So why didn't really fancy that and got rid of Centrepoint detainees C five, C five and now pens that 02:39.570 --> 02:39.980 night. 02:39.990 --> 02:41.460 So this is a relative pin. 02:41.640 --> 02:42.870 It's against the queen. 02:43.290 --> 02:48.360 If it's against the king, it's an absolute pin, but a relative pin, black kind of on pins. 02:49.530 --> 02:53.280 We have queene to queen see some broke eighty-one. 02:54.210 --> 03:01.830 Now Rukiya is played and there's a kind of weakness of the last move in that the rook neglects f7 by 03:01.830 --> 03:04.990 moving to the eight agrichar spots. 03:05.010 --> 03:06.900 A very interesting idea. 03:06.900 --> 03:08.820 He bounces in with ninety five. 03:09.660 --> 03:23.220 We have Bishop D seven which invites something which is rather amazing actually and subtle whites play 03:23.220 --> 03:23.400 here. 03:23.410 --> 03:28.410 There's actually a rather beautiful combination in this position. 03:33.060 --> 03:41.100 I wonder if you can guess what it is, what's the first move, so why it's playing? 03:46.430 --> 03:49.500 White Plains, Bishopsgate, HSM Check. 03:49.640 --> 03:56.240 So one point says if night takes them, we actually play Bishop seven, so we just want to call them 03:56.660 --> 03:57.260 basically. 03:59.210 --> 04:01.060 So it draws the king out. 04:01.430 --> 04:02.330 And what's the big deal? 04:02.360 --> 04:03.720 We can't use H5, right? 04:04.700 --> 04:11.090 Well, there is a big deal because we take on love sex and that means we can use HIV from Queen or Queen 04:11.090 --> 04:15.270 as our top scorer if we can get our queen next to King. 04:15.740 --> 04:17.360 Sometimes it's really dangerous. 04:18.080 --> 04:19.580 We see Bishop safe sex. 04:20.150 --> 04:26.380 I'll top scoring queen comes over Jack and the Knights is actually assisting the Queen. 04:26.420 --> 04:28.010 There's a killer common square here. 04:28.460 --> 04:32.610 F7 might have seven King eight seven. 04:32.630 --> 04:35.190 And now how do we finish off here. 04:35.780 --> 04:37.120 Is there something to finish off? 04:37.310 --> 04:38.070 Should there be. 04:39.680 --> 04:46.910 Well there is actually on this occasion, if you notice all our pawns on the second rank. 04:47.150 --> 04:50.840 And actually, you know what our third rank is, Claire. 04:51.140 --> 04:51.950 That's a clue. 04:52.070 --> 04:56.120 So what would you play in this position, which is really quite crushing? 05:01.790 --> 05:08.330 Now, you do want to check all the forcing most Chacko Chiang's capturers Freda's though of Matsen one 05:08.330 --> 05:09.430 and two are more subtle. 05:09.680 --> 05:12.750 They might not be the loud sounding moves. 05:13.190 --> 05:20.540 Is there a threat of a mate, one or two that you can make her and those friends often leave your attacking 05:20.540 --> 05:24.520 pieces in place, just controlling escape squares of the king. 05:25.040 --> 05:30.410 So as soon as the king, you know, are tended to her by the night as well. 05:30.510 --> 05:32.750 Yeah, she's sings and queen. 05:33.200 --> 05:38.990 So we really need maybe to threaten a mate in one or two, given we've got such a great setup already 05:39.560 --> 05:40.790 around the king. 05:41.210 --> 05:43.640 Guess what, we can play her if I give you five seconds. 05:46.530 --> 05:54.720 OK, Rob differe, it actually threatens to swing the rock across, this is called a rock left. 05:55.810 --> 06:01.800 So rock left like this, threatening basically to make the king, you know, after nightfall taking 06:02.220 --> 06:03.150 it'll be checkmate. 06:04.080 --> 06:05.410 The game actually ended here. 06:06.030 --> 06:08.310 There isn't much defense for black. 06:09.240 --> 06:12.850 If Bishop 65, Ruhengeri is. 06:14.940 --> 06:17.520 Yeah, it's you know, there's just no escape sequence. 06:20.010 --> 06:21.360 Queen five. 06:21.990 --> 06:25.140 This is rather desperate for black ends up getting checkmated. 06:25.890 --> 06:26.580 Bishop H. 06:26.580 --> 06:32.870 Four, We play rogatory black can't even move the pawn because it's Penns. 06:33.510 --> 06:35.190 So this is all leading to Nate. 06:35.410 --> 06:37.570 Might pretty neat game. 06:40.440 --> 06:45.330 Well, my good friends in chess, Annamarie of a fantastic tournament organizer in the UK is also a 06:45.330 --> 06:47.190 fan, sometimes has been a fan. 06:47.200 --> 06:52.530 I've seen him play this whole system with great effect. 06:52.780 --> 06:57.120 So it runs like a relative of one system. 06:57.930 --> 07:04.500 These relatives in these setups with default, they're very, very solid, less emphasis on you spending 07:04.500 --> 07:06.780 weekends, memorizing tons of opening theory. 07:07.290 --> 07:14.430 You know your priorities to me when you start in chess, it should be the middle and end game. 07:14.850 --> 07:19.920 Capablanca would have said and game the reason he said that, you know, it's no good having great advantages 07:20.640 --> 07:24.060 early on if you can't make use of them later, it's like a waste. 07:24.450 --> 07:26.910 But ideally they aren't like weak links in a chain. 07:27.120 --> 07:31.590 You don't want any of your Awakening's to let down the other parts of the chain later, 07:34.620 --> 07:35.130 so. 07:37.160 --> 07:41.290 You want to get by the opening, of course, because otherwise you'll never see America lose. 07:41.350 --> 07:44.560 You can get by what systems you can often get by. 07:44.980 --> 07:48.780 And this is like a modest way of playing the opening supermodel's. 07:49.750 --> 07:54.620 It might confuse all your fellow players if you're starting to sound like total confusion. 07:54.910 --> 07:56.500 What is this stuff you're playing? 07:57.700 --> 07:59.960 And you might even be subject to criticism. 08:01.000 --> 08:06.600 The thing is, if you know the follow ups, you can justify anything, at least yourself. 08:06.610 --> 08:09.730 That's the person that you want to justify your playing to. 08:10.510 --> 08:16.360 If you see some model games of agriculture and he has won some beautiful games, this system, you can 08:16.360 --> 08:22.750 make a winning work horse out of it, or at least part of the time you can surprise the opponents with 08:22.750 --> 08:23.340 the system. 08:23.350 --> 08:29.110 Part of the time it's pretty solid by playing only slight downside the bishops have in. 08:29.110 --> 08:31.330 But you can resolve that downside pretty soon. 08:32.110 --> 08:36.610 Sometimes with this early effort, it liberates kind of liberates your pieces here. 08:37.900 --> 08:39.110 If you notice structurally. 08:39.110 --> 08:44.800 Also you're creating, you know, this Somphone segment and fouls. 08:47.450 --> 08:54.020 Are like one way roads, like your cars are going on the roads and without the opponent's cars coming 08:54.020 --> 08:55.640 back at you. 08:55.670 --> 09:03.500 So you should learn to love someone and is as a semi fall created by this whole EFORE prank and actually 09:03.500 --> 09:11.620 creates, you know, the opportunities some of the opportunities are created with depression. 09:12.890 --> 09:21.920 But in this particular position, yeah, it becomes apparent at least to the amazing Agricole, this 09:21.920 --> 09:30.020 amazing combination existed here, that it's probing a square which the rock had just, you know, weakness 09:30.020 --> 09:33.290 of the last five had just abandoned. 09:33.320 --> 09:39.200 So it's like there's a golden opportunity lurking here, if any can be discovered. 09:39.200 --> 09:39.830 And he does. 09:40.520 --> 09:42.380 Bishop takes 87 check. 09:43.220 --> 09:44.300 It's a beautiful move. 09:45.980 --> 09:47.120 So King takes an owl. 09:47.120 --> 09:48.210 Bishop takes up sex. 09:48.230 --> 09:51.400 It's a really elegant game, a model game on site. 09:52.970 --> 09:56.270 So one love exploring and other games. 09:56.270 --> 10:01.070 If you want to get into the system to check out games have come up with the system. 10:01.820 --> 10:04.160 OK, that's so much.
