WEBVTT 00:01.190 --> 00:01.830 Hi there. 00:02.390 --> 00:06.660 In this lecture, I want to introduce you to the king's engine attack system. 00:07.520 --> 00:13.820 Now, the King's Indian attack system can actually be used to save you a great deal of time learning 00:13.820 --> 00:14.720 opening theory. 00:14.750 --> 00:26.420 So, for example, if E4 and you can start with E4 if you want to get into the king's attack set, if 00:26.420 --> 00:28.820 they play the French defense, this is the French defense. 00:29.210 --> 00:34.500 You can actually adopt a King's Indian attack set up by playing defrayed. 00:34.520 --> 00:40.770 This was a favorite method, in fact, of Bobby Fischer, especially against the French defense. 00:41.510 --> 00:47.360 So we see, for example, D5 92, 95 cents an hour, Jeoffrey. 00:47.810 --> 00:57.560 So you're thing Kettering, your bishop, C5 Bishop Geto, 96, like Jeffrey Bishop is seven and let's 00:57.560 --> 00:58.160 say both sides. 00:58.160 --> 01:02.390 Castle Now, what would be the point of doing this kind of setup? 01:02.390 --> 01:04.390 Doesn't it look a little bit modest? 01:05.300 --> 01:09.560 The thing is, you can get a nice grip on the center pretty soon. 01:09.560 --> 01:15.410 In fact, in fact, here you establish a nice aggressive pawn on A5. 01:15.920 --> 01:20.300 And one of the principal ideas, in my view, is the kind of overprotect this pawn. 01:22.220 --> 01:27.170 So there was a great writer acronyms, Vetch, which talked about overprotecting E5 in particular, 01:27.830 --> 01:33.800 when the opponent Consols Kingside and you overprotect to Central Point like this often creates great 01:33.830 --> 01:35.260 attacking opportunities. 01:35.600 --> 01:44.240 So here, rookie one B5 Meitav one, blacks trying to create some counterplay on the queen side. 01:44.240 --> 01:54.350 So is the term used when you're trying to do something aggressive and like trying to create a way of 01:54.470 --> 01:59.560 them having some winning property in the game as well instead of just defending passively. 01:59.840 --> 02:05.780 So this is a bit of Queensland counterplay now as it happens, this is from the game, Bobby Fischer 02:05.780 --> 02:11.210 against my Merson, and it's one of my favorite games of Bobby Fischer. 02:11.990 --> 02:14.510 It's a wonderful combination in it. 02:14.960 --> 02:17.630 So I fought two birds with one stone. 02:18.230 --> 02:19.190 Time is precious. 02:19.700 --> 02:20.960 So it's like on a game. 02:20.960 --> 02:25.550 But I want to show you anyway to inspire your chess and your tactics. 02:26.660 --> 02:33.410 So the King's Indian attack system, although it seems kind of modest, has got a lot of latent power 02:33.410 --> 02:38.510 and energy, like a cold spring, just ready to come out later. 02:38.690 --> 02:43.040 This energy, we see age for a five billion air force. 02:43.050 --> 02:46.940 You can see this reinforcement of this 85 square. 02:47.210 --> 02:51.110 This is a typical characteristic of the Kensington attack. 02:53.300 --> 02:56.600 A form, a free pressure knocks down the queen. 02:56.600 --> 02:59.390 Saipan's stopping this in its tracks. 02:59.720 --> 03:07.090 At a four point twenty five, we see 93, 86, H3, 84. 03:07.340 --> 03:09.710 I'm not going to go too much into the details of the game. 03:10.130 --> 03:15.380 It's just just one example of what could happen after essentially the opening. 03:16.970 --> 03:20.060 The opening phase is just the first few moves, by the way. 03:20.060 --> 03:23.450 We're well into a mental game now that moves seventeen. 03:24.230 --> 03:30.800 If you don't know where the opening kind of ended and the mental game started, I'd say as soon as when 03:30.800 --> 03:37.040 you play a system, as soon as the setup is complete, that's kind of the end of the opening system. 03:37.040 --> 03:42.950 So, you know, if we go back to maybe seven, when both sides are concerned, this is kind of the start 03:42.950 --> 03:43.430 position. 03:43.820 --> 03:45.050 This is where kind of thing. 03:45.050 --> 03:49.400 And it's an arbitrary divide between opening little game and then game. 03:49.400 --> 03:51.620 It's really kind of arbitrary divide. 03:52.010 --> 03:57.620 But one thing to be aware of when you learn opening's it's good to have the so-called STEM games. 03:58.370 --> 04:04.520 These are model gains of the model games that you have some basic ideas of how you play the little game 04:04.760 --> 04:10.580 and even some of the resulting in games, which might happen in terms of at least pawn structure. 04:11.030 --> 04:16.640 The general gist of the middle and end game will give you more reassurance, you just not having to 04:16.640 --> 04:18.500 make everything up as you go along. 04:18.830 --> 04:21.380 So anyway, this is kind of where the opening ended. 04:21.890 --> 04:24.110 So we get this middle game plan. 04:24.320 --> 04:28.550 It's kind of a middle game plan of reinforcement of the A5 form. 04:28.850 --> 04:30.230 So let's go back to where we were. 04:32.240 --> 04:37.550 So we have this situation where black now is tempted for these four pawns don't go backwards and black 04:37.550 --> 04:39.830 has weakened the force quite a hand. 04:41.330 --> 04:45.530 So Fisher is about to use some of these ideas like that. 04:45.530 --> 04:48.840 We can e Four-Square like G5 down in space. 04:48.980 --> 04:50.630 So we see the bishop dropping back. 04:51.530 --> 04:53.180 Bishop Thanks, Bishop. 04:53.180 --> 04:55.930 Things Queenie some Naquin H5. 04:55.970 --> 05:02.330 So normally this might be a bad idea if the Queen can be evicted easily here, because we've got that 05:02.330 --> 05:08.960 central problem, which we have a luxury situation where literally we're putting out call it, we're 05:09.020 --> 05:12.020 putting our best resources like on Queen near the palace. 05:12.020 --> 05:14.900 King Queen is our top scorer in chess. 05:15.650 --> 05:22.760 And in fact, when I won the junior tournament back in 1989, a long time ago, that was one of my guiding 05:22.760 --> 05:25.340 principles during games which gave me confidence. 05:26.210 --> 05:31.130 I basically said to myself, well, how do I use my best resources around the opponents? 05:31.130 --> 05:34.790 King and it really helped me create some amazing attacking games. 05:36.020 --> 05:40.220 So here the qualifier is it's difficult to even evict the queen here. 05:40.220 --> 05:43.190 It's difficult to project that queen from the attacking area. 05:43.700 --> 05:50.260 So there are less downsides than usual in this approach because of that, because of the central pawn, 05:50.270 --> 05:57.590 which in particular so Rook FC eight ninety two, the central pawn, which means that, you know, for 05:57.590 --> 06:00.500 example, not have sex is not possible to kick the queen away. 06:01.190 --> 06:06.680 So ninety three was play Bishop FCX a very interesting move. 06:07.550 --> 06:11.180 I don't really want to get into the technicalities of it too much. 06:11.600 --> 06:17.360 I would like to show you the final combination of the game, but this is absolutely brilliant move. 06:17.360 --> 06:21.530 I know the bishop can be taken, but let's just go with. 06:21.530 --> 06:28.670 The flow of the game for a moment, Quesne eight platform, it was far too risky in a nutshell, though, 06:28.670 --> 06:37.190 if you if this did happen, things get super dangerous usually when you have the so-called form --. 06:37.940 --> 06:42.470 Poor Paul, sex is like a form born around the king, like a go hanging form. 06:42.840 --> 06:46.100 And already we've got our top scorer of the queen near the king. 06:46.640 --> 06:58.370 So, you know, one example of why this is, you know, really dangerous, say Queen Ice Queen, G5 06:58.370 --> 07:01.130 Chac and all of a sudden it's checkmate. 07:01.140 --> 07:02.450 That's just one example. 07:03.260 --> 07:04.910 Or here, you know, queen. 07:04.920 --> 07:05.120 Yes. 07:05.540 --> 07:08.030 It's a dangerous situation with that form. 07:08.030 --> 07:08.970 Form for sure. 07:09.350 --> 07:12.530 So it was a gold Quiney eight now. 07:12.530 --> 07:14.230 Ninety four to six. 07:14.570 --> 07:22.940 Kwangju five nights EFO rotates economic force of blacks trying to get this Queensland counterplay. 07:23.240 --> 07:29.060 You can expect that if you play the King's Indian attack that opponent's going to try and gain space 07:29.060 --> 07:34.220 and can't play on the queen side because you're essentially playing on the Kingside this side of the 07:34.220 --> 07:34.550 boat. 07:34.730 --> 07:35.900 You're having a lot of action. 07:36.320 --> 07:39.260 So they're trying to generate cousins playing on queen side. 07:39.470 --> 07:46.550 It's logical and this is classic, you know, classic fascher game that we're about to see H5 see takes. 07:47.420 --> 07:49.790 And now Fisher actually doesn't recaptcha. 07:50.450 --> 07:52.340 This is one of the beauties of chess. 07:52.490 --> 07:55.700 Sometimes you don't have to do an automatic recaptcha. 07:57.050 --> 08:03.170 You have to trade off sometimes material and it gives you more options if you have that consideration 08:03.560 --> 08:07.430 that you can actually trade off material for other factors here. 08:07.430 --> 08:10.310 We don't have to recapture because king safety. 08:10.730 --> 08:15.320 We want to put all our energy no wasted, most optimal. 08:15.560 --> 08:16.640 Just go for the king. 08:16.640 --> 08:20.240 And Fisher does that for very dangerous rukeyser's. 08:20.810 --> 08:23.000 We see Bishop G to detect Seeto. 08:23.360 --> 08:25.610 So why is Fascher sacrifice these pawns? 08:26.090 --> 08:32.090 Well, we're about to see Queen six this Frattini's Chameides on G7. 08:32.420 --> 08:35.240 And to me this is a very beautiful Fisher combination. 08:35.240 --> 08:38.090 Now we're about to witness of the Queen Efate. 08:38.510 --> 08:40.760 So here I'm going to test your tactics. 08:41.570 --> 08:45.890 And I have tested students that done personal coaching with this position many times. 08:46.460 --> 08:47.180 Many times. 08:47.810 --> 08:51.530 It's a very joyful position to work out what happens in my view. 08:51.860 --> 08:53.960 So why not play it and win? 08:54.590 --> 08:58.010 What would you play here if I give you five seconds to pause video? 09:05.120 --> 09:12.770 OK, you want to prioritize the forcing moves always, so check all checks or captures checking threats 09:12.770 --> 09:19.070 of making one or two, if you check all checks, even the totally outrageous ones, this gives you, 09:19.070 --> 09:21.980 again, that high resolution on the chessboard. 09:22.190 --> 09:26.420 You want to be like one of those high resolution monitors, super expensive. 09:26.750 --> 09:32.810 To do that, you need to sometimes consider even the most outrageous possibilities. 09:33.200 --> 09:41.540 Consider moves which are not just auto recaptures, anything automatic you might be addicted to if you 09:41.540 --> 09:43.940 play too many fast games of chance. 09:43.940 --> 09:49.550 But in the long game of chess, you want to try and be aware of all the amazing options on the chess 09:49.550 --> 09:49.940 board. 09:50.300 --> 09:53.060 And here there's a really amazing option if you check all channels. 09:53.600 --> 09:58.640 And that is, I hope if you want to play the video again, try and work it out to the end. 09:58.640 --> 10:04.850 If you can work out to the end, it's going to benefit your your visualization of chess positions like 10:05.090 --> 10:07.440 home and, you know, visualizing on sailing. 10:07.440 --> 10:12.140 If you've seen the Netflix series, your visualization and training is improved. 10:12.140 --> 10:18.110 If you can work out from this position to the end, it's Quintet's Eighty-seven Check. 10:18.860 --> 10:27.700 And the game actually ended here because if King takes one version of the game, could the houseguests 10:27.710 --> 10:28.190 check? 10:28.190 --> 10:32.570 And if the King steps back, then it's checkmate. 10:34.010 --> 10:39.760 If the king steps forward, then we actually use that a square which was weakened earlier and we played 10:40.010 --> 10:40.550 before. 10:40.550 --> 10:42.170 And that is checkmate. 10:42.560 --> 10:45.050 You see that the bishops this is checkmating. 10:45.050 --> 10:46.880 This is controlling Kidscape squares. 10:47.270 --> 10:52.220 This is controlling Yoskowitz cause that is actually checkmate to me. 10:52.220 --> 10:58.820 This is one of the more beautiful Bobby Fischer games and in fact, the Kings InGen attack, even though 10:58.820 --> 11:02.720 it's a modest open without you having to memorize lots of opening ferrey. 11:04.370 --> 11:09.020 These are highly celebrated games official like this one, highly celebrated and collected game. 11:09.500 --> 11:15.950 So if you can create beautiful works of art like this game with the Kings in an attack against the French 11:15.950 --> 11:18.620 defense, then that's great. 11:18.830 --> 11:20.690 And also, I've got good news for you. 11:20.810 --> 11:24.800 One, if it's not just the French defense, you might say, well, King's question, what if I want 11:24.810 --> 11:26.000 to play this set up? 11:26.750 --> 11:28.400 And it wasn't the French defense? 11:29.570 --> 11:34.190 Well, actually, you can in fact, you can even change the move order. 11:34.670 --> 11:38.030 The essential thing about system is the set up. 11:38.030 --> 11:40.250 You can get to the set up in different move orders. 11:40.640 --> 11:42.080 You can start with not afraid. 11:44.160 --> 11:48.500 And that actually stops a fire, but sometimes you really want to welcome a five herit stop. 11:48.520 --> 11:57.540 You know, you take if they played D5, the thing is, this is a kings' engine attack sets up, but 11:57.930 --> 12:03.780 black might also be able to get a kind of London system in reverse, which is a bit of a pain because 12:03.780 --> 12:04.760 that's so solid. 12:05.610 --> 12:12.180 So in order to avoid the London system in reverse, this is essentially along the system in reverse 12:12.630 --> 12:14.060 triangle, if you think about it. 12:14.370 --> 12:21.480 But outside the -- chain, that's why if you're sneaky with your move order, you can have this kings 12:21.480 --> 12:27.520 and you can set up with that, I mean, to have this solid rock in the center against your finger. 12:28.260 --> 12:34.500 So sometimes the King's Indian attack, especially by Bobby Fischer, was sneakily played as part of 12:34.500 --> 12:43.770 one E4 So this is kind of more profound kind of trap on your opponents that they play the French defense 12:43.770 --> 12:49.530 and they might be expecting you to engage them with the latest French defense opening ferry. 12:49.530 --> 12:54.060 But instead you played the free the King's Indian attack system. 12:54.750 --> 12:55.290 So. 12:56.840 --> 13:04.070 Yeah, that they're not in a position to be that boring, the bishop is stuck in its -- chain, you 13:04.070 --> 13:05.690 know, boring, as solid as in London. 13:06.950 --> 13:08.000 Did I say boring? 13:08.000 --> 13:12.880 London has the reputation of being boring, but really, you know, because I hate playing against them, 13:13.340 --> 13:20.010 I sometimes I'm derogatory about the system, but it is highly recommend to everyone at all levels as 13:20.010 --> 13:25.790 a stand by opening up anyway to avoid the London system of black against your precious king's into the 13:25.790 --> 13:26.910 tank set up here. 13:27.560 --> 13:29.780 Yeah, you can wait for the French defense. 13:30.230 --> 13:36.800 You can you can consider this set up against the coracle as well. 13:37.760 --> 13:38.300 Of course. 13:38.540 --> 13:40.550 I mean, you could consider against the Karakol. 13:42.470 --> 13:47.600 You know, it's it's not there's no big refutation of your play here. 13:48.470 --> 13:54.920 If they could even think Catoe as an example and you have a decent position to start off the game. 13:57.590 --> 14:04.630 So the essential aspect is it's a thin cutout of the bishop of Chatto, they prefer to call it that, 14:05.060 --> 14:12.120 but the Italians more usually say Ketso like Careto. 14:12.220 --> 14:14.200 Yeah, I've been told off about that for years. 14:14.210 --> 14:23.210 OK, so think Catoe of the Bishop and this kind of structure where sometimes you do play for E5 and 14:23.210 --> 14:24.250 reinforce F5. 14:25.010 --> 14:26.660 It's a very, very nice set up. 14:26.670 --> 14:33.860 I'd recommend it in my opening's course where I've talked in detail about systems, also openings in 14:33.860 --> 14:34.220 general. 14:34.220 --> 14:42.140 And Gamma's is one of my top 10 recommendations for systems and it's got the approval of Bobby Fischer. 14:42.530 --> 14:44.420 So worth checking out and exploring. 14:44.660 --> 14:46.210 OK, that's so much.
