WEBVTT 00:01.110 --> 00:01.840 Hi there. 00:02.430 --> 00:06.650 In this lecture, we see an amazing system called the Tory attack system. 00:07.170 --> 00:11.730 So this is Colin Tory Repetto playing against Emmanuel Laska. 00:12.030 --> 00:18.510 So the system is named after him and largely influenced by this key game because Emmanuel Lascher was 00:18.510 --> 00:27.000 world chess champion at the time, so he beat Lascher with that tension. 00:27.000 --> 00:34.560 Kellar The variation of the Tory attack was also used by its very Tanigawa, Boris Spassky, Tigran 00:34.560 --> 00:38.400 Petrosian earlier in their careers. 00:39.180 --> 00:41.560 So there's quite a lot of exponents. 00:41.610 --> 00:46.770 So two of those are also, you know, world champions, Spassky, Boris Spassky, Instagram chasing 00:46.770 --> 00:47.480 world champions. 00:47.760 --> 00:51.240 So you're in good hands if you play this kind of system. 00:51.630 --> 00:55.680 It starts with defo of the 1960 you play nine to free. 00:56.280 --> 01:00.360 So nothing shocking is principles of central control. 01:00.720 --> 01:02.370 Controlling the five score a bit more. 01:03.540 --> 01:05.610 We see six in this particular game. 01:06.450 --> 01:09.330 Carlos Torri plays Bishop G five. 01:10.620 --> 01:12.750 So this differs from the London system. 01:12.750 --> 01:13.920 Usually the London system. 01:13.920 --> 01:15.170 Bishop goes to EFORE. 01:15.480 --> 01:24.960 It's slightly more aggressive that relative pen can cause some annoyance to we seek five every seating's 01:25.350 --> 01:30.780 884 seven might BD to desex Seefried. 01:30.780 --> 01:37.050 So we have a kind of structure which could have been from a London system, except the bishop is here 01:37.050 --> 01:44.630 rather than here, because quite often black will try things like this to undermine your pontine. 01:44.940 --> 01:48.510 Your chain of pawns we see might be the seventh bishop differe. 01:48.530 --> 01:53.880 So it's a good opening system starts nothing of this position with the WIP, he says. 01:54.390 --> 02:01.610 We see Big Six and now ninety four is played Bishop seven queen to twenty seven. 02:01.620 --> 02:05.640 So White's pieces are focused on central squares like eighty five. 02:05.640 --> 02:07.680 You can see both lines focused. 02:09.570 --> 02:16.170 We see White Castle and Kingside Black Consols Kingside good everyone so nice. 02:16.170 --> 02:20.220 Central Control a principled opening. 02:20.790 --> 02:25.470 If there's an arbitrary line between the opening in the middle game, I'd say just off the both sides. 02:25.470 --> 02:26.160 Castle. 02:26.160 --> 02:33.150 So after counseling, as a general rule, both sides putting themselves on the feet before active operations, 02:33.510 --> 02:38.310 we can consider the active operations to be in the middle game in general. 02:39.030 --> 02:46.440 So Rook FS1 Rook fifty eight we see Rook eighty one to bring in both rooks to the center x ring the 02:46.440 --> 02:47.170 central squares. 02:47.190 --> 02:53.430 Even though the spaces in between this is approaching an idealistic set up for central control. 02:54.090 --> 03:01.590 We see Knights of Eight and now this bishop as she drops back ninety five and was the idea of putting 03:01.590 --> 03:08.070 the knight there instead of replacing the use of the G5 square for a knight here trying to maybe tical 03:08.070 --> 03:13.380 black interplaying a committal poor move pawns don't go backwards at the moment. 03:13.680 --> 03:17.580 H7 sufficiently sufficiently defended by the knight on their feet. 03:17.910 --> 03:21.350 So there's no real threat it seems on the eight seven pawn. 03:22.140 --> 03:25.200 So we see five and it's light goes back. 03:25.680 --> 03:33.830 So that's good position place before we see see tanks before namesake's before Queen I. 03:34.070 --> 03:35.550 A very direct attack on HSM. 03:35.560 --> 03:43.190 There are three attacking pieces on eight, seven and only two defending the king and nine. 03:43.200 --> 03:44.520 So something has to be done. 03:44.520 --> 03:46.860 Bishop sixty five is blind. 03:49.080 --> 03:59.010 We see Bishop 65 and now 1963, 64, and now Queen five, there seems to be a very useful pen and annoying 03:59.040 --> 04:02.670 against the queen on page five and it's also looking at one. 04:03.300 --> 04:06.810 So this queen is not just pinning G5. 04:07.350 --> 04:08.390 That's a relative pen. 04:08.400 --> 04:09.210 It's against the queen. 04:09.210 --> 04:10.920 It's relative, not an absolute pen. 04:11.820 --> 04:17.400 So that means the bishop, you know, sometimes might actually be able to move with advantage even if 04:17.400 --> 04:18.430 it's losing the queen. 04:18.720 --> 04:19.560 Just bear that in mind. 04:19.590 --> 04:21.180 Be open minded in chess. 04:22.440 --> 04:25.430 But here, yeah, there's an issue to address with this rook as well. 04:25.830 --> 04:34.710 So why actually plays before Collins plays, before hitting the queen with the queen and five if Queen 04:35.070 --> 04:37.870 takes before then. 04:38.520 --> 04:40.070 That's interesting as well. 04:40.080 --> 04:41.340 It's actually playable. 04:41.460 --> 04:42.410 Like to do this. 04:43.140 --> 04:45.270 It's a plausible continuation. 04:45.270 --> 04:52.890 Black would be actually OK there, but we have actually queen at five in the game and we see Rook Jeffrey 04:52.890 --> 05:01.410 and the rook is actually enshrine the king here and now 86 six is played. 05:01.770 --> 05:04.830 So things are getting very interesting here. 05:05.240 --> 05:07.290 94, so not even moving. 05:07.320 --> 05:10.080 Bishop, what if the bishop does move? 05:10.090 --> 05:12.750 It does seem as though the queen is going to be lost. 05:14.100 --> 05:14.490 Yeah. 05:15.180 --> 05:22.980 So if we, like, took this pawn queen, thanks so nicely for his plate instead of our queen, the five 05:23.370 --> 05:23.880 is played. 05:23.890 --> 05:28.090 And you might wonder why can't Black take the mission? 05:28.680 --> 05:31.490 Well, 1966 is actually rather good here. 05:31.530 --> 05:34.440 It actually kind of -- multiple things. 05:34.770 --> 05:36.870 The Queen, the bishop and F7. 05:38.520 --> 05:41.520 So if Queen Jesus. 05:43.390 --> 05:52.540 Queen 66, when 66 and later 67 when it has a small edge, so. 05:55.000 --> 06:00.720 We have actually Queen Bee five being played and black still relying on this relative pin. 06:02.590 --> 06:12.670 We see 93 and now Queen Bee five here and is something rather spectacular happens in this game, which 06:12.670 --> 06:21.370 kind of immortalizes the game forever more as an absolutely marvelous, fantastic, powerful move played 06:21.580 --> 06:22.490 in this position. 06:23.170 --> 06:30.670 I wonder if you can spot it if I give you five seconds to pause video and try and work out what happens. 06:31.780 --> 06:34.720 It's an absolutely brilliant combination. 06:36.770 --> 06:44.090 OK, and I've kind of hinted that, you know, about these relative pens, the trouble relative pens 06:44.600 --> 06:45.960 is that are not absolute. 06:46.370 --> 06:47.960 Sometimes you need absoluteness. 06:48.320 --> 06:56.540 I guarantee Goldenblatt rather ironclad guarantee that something is not going to happen with a relative 06:56.540 --> 06:56.830 pen. 06:56.870 --> 06:59.340 It's no guarantee the bishop might sometimes move. 06:59.360 --> 07:00.280 That's my clue to you. 07:00.710 --> 07:03.520 And in fact, here we see an absolutely brilliant combination. 07:04.280 --> 07:07.370 So you two birds with one stone, I'm not just there was writing the opening. 07:07.370 --> 07:13.520 I'm showing you a beautiful combination, which everyone should know anyway, which is Bishop Essex. 07:13.790 --> 07:21.040 So offering the queen and we get her a seesaw attack, a seesaw check, rather mechanism. 07:21.470 --> 07:25.150 Now, a seesaw check is really quite an amazing thing to behold. 07:25.610 --> 07:26.750 So the queen is taken. 07:27.890 --> 07:30.590 We have our first check taking out G7. 07:31.040 --> 07:33.890 And now this is the way the seesaw check works. 07:34.850 --> 07:37.370 You can actually take material and it's check. 07:38.060 --> 07:43.810 So F7 is taken with Czech, but you're also moving the king back so you can actually check again. 07:44.600 --> 07:52.460 So there's no end of these checks, it seems G seven Czech King and now Rook takes B seven Czech. 07:52.940 --> 08:02.360 So all we've checked scooping up Plax material of the Kingsgate Brighty, seven Czech again King hate's 08:02.780 --> 08:10.520 and believe it or not, White could have even taken the A7 pawn, but didn't on this occasion. 08:10.940 --> 08:14.600 It was content with that amount of material. 08:15.230 --> 08:20.690 But, you know, taking on is the most plausible, carrying on the see-saw checks, as they're called, 08:21.650 --> 08:24.380 and then going for five. 08:24.380 --> 08:27.290 But he actually goes for five immediately. 08:27.620 --> 08:28.850 So this is Czech now. 08:28.850 --> 08:33.050 So he's explored this Rahho and is exploring just winning the queen back. 08:33.410 --> 08:37.490 So Ruggie five check and he wins the queen back. 08:38.660 --> 08:40.370 This is not totally the end of the story. 08:40.370 --> 08:49.400 The king comes out and -- WTS these two pieces, but white is material up already and doesn't mind 08:49.730 --> 08:52.730 giving back a piece because white is up in --'s. 08:53.290 --> 08:57.170 And at this level this is quite decisive. 08:57.530 --> 09:07.390 Taking that Poorna makes sense leaves now winz free up the rook comes back we see check McCaffrey check 09:08.180 --> 09:11.930 a frame A five B takes a five. 09:11.930 --> 09:25.460 Rook takes a five like C for and we see here rootie five rook at four ninety seven and here off the 09:25.460 --> 09:27.500 Route 66 tracking G5. 09:29.920 --> 09:36.970 Jeffrey, this means that we will not be back for unmated, that would be called a swindell if you're 09:36.970 --> 09:39.500 up in material and you get swindled. 09:39.970 --> 09:42.150 It's a rather painful experience. 09:43.090 --> 09:49.390 My tip, if you are swindled early on interest is just try and learn the lessons from your game. 09:49.600 --> 09:53.380 If you kept a notation, just try and make it a scientific exercise. 09:53.410 --> 09:56.230 So you've just done an experiment, one of several. 09:56.500 --> 10:03.250 You're gaining insights and your focus should be on learning about chess rather than results anyway. 10:03.520 --> 10:09.490 And initially in your career as a chess player, you should be enjoying the game. 10:09.490 --> 10:16.150 Learning about the game results can come later as a nice side effect, a side effect of you improving 10:16.150 --> 10:22.720 your understanding of chess in many of its aspects, particularly opening middle game, end game. 10:23.830 --> 10:28.720 And within that there's loads of different fundamental angles and skills to master. 10:29.050 --> 10:34.630 So don't worry if you get swindled of about chromate, but we should be aware of the back room issue. 10:35.020 --> 10:40.350 Even our current world chess champion a few days ago from this video fell for a comment back from Høst 10:40.630 --> 10:44.160 by her thankfully Pakkala story. 10:44.200 --> 10:48.340 Repetto He actually played Jeoffrey avoiding a back room issue. 10:48.400 --> 10:49.450 Just put it on the board. 10:50.110 --> 10:52.960 Rookie Free Rook Byone is back from meeting. 10:52.990 --> 10:57.730 This would be very, very unfortunate and spoiling the otherwise masterpiece of the game. 10:58.270 --> 11:02.920 But Jeoffrey makes that if the king and protects the rock are very nifty move indeed. 11:03.130 --> 11:04.510 And the rope supports Defoe. 11:04.960 --> 11:11.080 So essentially the Swindell attempt has fouled and Laska doesn't even bother checking. 11:11.200 --> 11:17.020 I mean, the king would just go to Geto and Black would be several points, down four points out. 11:17.020 --> 11:20.380 So Luska just resigned at this point. 11:23.050 --> 11:28.360 Some rumors are that Alaska may have been distracted for this game, but nevertheless, you know, it 11:28.360 --> 11:30.860 takes mistake's for someone to win a game of chess. 11:30.910 --> 11:34.430 So congratulations to Carlos tonight. 11:34.540 --> 11:37.620 Repetto the Mexican grandmaster. 11:37.870 --> 11:44.440 And this is the key game which, you know, got some popularity for this system if we go back in the 11:44.440 --> 11:46.440 opening and focus on the opening moves. 11:46.780 --> 11:50.920 So the key aspect is 93 and G5. 11:51.250 --> 11:57.880 This sets up the Torrey system as distinct from other kind of family members like the London system 11:57.880 --> 12:00.820 might be for the FCC frame. 12:02.320 --> 12:08.160 Yeah, the college system would be with my friend Bishop Devery leaving the home. 12:08.740 --> 12:16.630 So this family group has in common generally a solid pool structure for white, where generally white 12:16.630 --> 12:18.450 and spawn's like this, this triangle. 12:19.120 --> 12:24.970 So even on a chessboard, the triangles are a solid structure and its family members shares that trade 12:25.810 --> 12:28.020 and dance go and grab control. 12:28.150 --> 12:36.290 Generally, you're trying to grip the key squares, especially this five square, which is more central. 12:36.910 --> 12:37.930 So that's a feature. 12:37.930 --> 12:42.870 And White's Central Control, if you look at it, is very idealistic. 12:43.840 --> 12:49.090 The pieces kind of do x-rite central squares, if not hit them directly. 12:49.240 --> 12:50.100 Like the knights. 12:50.620 --> 12:57.040 We see that we have the rooks kind of x raying through the other pieces, these key central squares. 12:57.640 --> 13:01.930 If you look at the central squares of the chessboard, they're key in any opening and generally you 13:01.930 --> 13:06.790 can even extend the center consideration outwards like this. 13:07.570 --> 13:11.800 So not this one in particular, but, you know, you can extend it outwards to that. 13:11.800 --> 13:17.110 The extended center is also thinking about all of its pieces are essentially acts ring. 13:17.740 --> 13:19.930 You know, the extended center here. 13:20.080 --> 13:23.890 Quite a lot of the extended center is being either directly attached. 13:25.780 --> 13:30.280 You know, this is good central control as a basis for active operations later. 13:30.820 --> 13:38.170 So this set up and yes, he gave himself a shot and he actually tried for a kind of direct attack. 13:39.850 --> 13:46.990 And on this occasion, yeah, this rook left, which we see so many times can be so fatal against the 13:46.990 --> 13:47.470 opponent. 13:47.470 --> 13:51.450 When you lift up a rock, it's a heavy piece, is a major piece. 13:51.940 --> 13:53.320 So remember, these are the major pieces. 13:53.320 --> 14:01.950 These are the minor pieces, minor and Greene major, the major rock heavies coming off X ranges. 14:03.550 --> 14:09.310 And here, yeah, there's interesting possibilities of like tanks here. 14:09.730 --> 14:11.190 So that was great. 14:11.200 --> 14:17.530 But then again, with tempo hitting the queen and stopping the queen from using a five and all this 14:17.530 --> 14:24.160 brilliant, marvelous idea, Bushmasters, so kind of see-saw check mechanism. 14:24.610 --> 14:27.970 So also to one, in this lecture you learn a bit about the sea. 14:27.970 --> 14:34.780 So check you learn a bit about Carlos Tor bit of culture and you learn about his legacy. 14:35.380 --> 14:40.330 So when a player leaves a legacy like especially a system which is taken up by world chess, champion 14:41.140 --> 14:44.380 costarring will be remembered by the chess world. 14:45.220 --> 14:49.150 So a fantastic game win against Emmanuel Laska. 14:49.150 --> 14:50.980 And that's a way to make a name for yourself. 14:51.490 --> 14:57.310 Beat World Champion a grandmaster one day, I'm sure you will with this course especially. 14:57.910 --> 15:00.130 So these are the steps. 15:00.130 --> 15:03.100 But this is this game demonstrates a few things. 15:03.880 --> 15:06.880 But yeah, if you want to try out the Tory system. 15:07.390 --> 15:07.690 Yeah. 15:07.700 --> 15:14.410 DeFore the key moves a free and bishop defined characterizes the tourist system as distinct from the 15:14.410 --> 15:20.830 London system, which is on F4 or the college system, which is leaving the bishop behind on C one for 15:20.830 --> 15:21.250 later. 15:21.820 --> 15:25.740 OK, I enjoyed that track. 15:25.780 --> 15:27.970 The system sometimes had so much.
