WEBVTT 00:01.290 --> 00:09.270 Hi there in Atlanta, I'd like to introduce you to the concept of Gometz now, Gambia's beat back to 00:09.270 --> 00:11.400 the romantic era of chess, the Kings game. 00:11.400 --> 00:19.320 It was a favorite of the romantic era of chess, and players would often accept the gambit and why would 00:19.320 --> 00:24.260 get a certain amount of tactical pressure and lead involvement. 00:24.600 --> 00:26.520 So, for example, Black played passively. 00:26.520 --> 00:30.150 White also constructs a very nice center from the King's Cabinet. 00:30.160 --> 00:34.770 This is a bad way generally of black to handle things in a very passive manner. 00:35.160 --> 00:41.340 But what actually gets back in the game at Pawn sometimes, maybe not here immediately. 00:41.340 --> 00:43.350 Maybe they play Bishop Differe. 00:43.350 --> 00:50.700 And if they get back the game at Pawn and Black plays passively, this is just an example. 00:51.120 --> 00:58.210 White has constructed a nice center and has nice F.R. pressure to look forward to. 00:58.650 --> 01:05.100 So the purpose of the King's gambit a kind of clearer, especially if the opponent plays very passively. 01:05.400 --> 01:08.730 But there are so many things to play against the King's gambit. 01:09.120 --> 01:10.920 Black doesn't even have to accept. 01:10.920 --> 01:18.510 The black hand declined to comment with D5 and Black to play all sorts of things, in fact. 01:19.650 --> 01:25.410 So the King's gambit, though, is a very, very interesting, historically played gambit, a more sound 01:25.560 --> 01:25.870 game. 01:25.890 --> 01:26.940 It is not really a game. 01:26.940 --> 01:28.440 It is actually the Queen's Gambit. 01:28.440 --> 01:35.250 It's not really a gambit because if Black accepts the pawn, their white can actually get back. 01:35.250 --> 01:42.960 The pawn on this black incurs cause a lot of concessions and we'll see that later in the Queens section. 01:43.380 --> 01:48.120 So the Queens game is not really a game in terms of major risk. 01:48.630 --> 01:51.210 The king's gambit, though, is a real gambit. 01:51.570 --> 01:54.540 So certainly it's a sounder than others. 01:55.320 --> 02:00.720 And you can use gambits to bypass Main Line opening for, for example, against the fans. 02:01.050 --> 02:03.120 I love playing the Smith Moruga. 02:03.930 --> 02:09.570 So you bypass tons of Sicilian defense opening ferry and you get to play your own game. 02:09.990 --> 02:16.800 So the gambits have a great role in also avoiding that ocean of opening theory to have to memorize. 02:17.190 --> 02:22.740 And they give you a nice, pleasant lead environment sometimes and set me up and fall pressure. 02:23.070 --> 02:24.660 So we've got some info here. 02:25.500 --> 02:27.060 OK, there's a shared file here. 02:27.060 --> 02:29.700 It can go both ways, like a two way road. 02:30.240 --> 02:34.640 But your initial, like leading development makes this playable opening. 02:34.650 --> 02:40.110 In fact, there's even a book on the Smith Morrow gambit by Mark Essman, who I played several times. 02:40.110 --> 02:40.680 Great guy. 02:41.250 --> 02:48.210 So if you want even research and have theoretical backing, I think a huge amount of examples, you 02:48.210 --> 02:51.360 can take this further, this exploration of gambits. 02:51.780 --> 02:55.020 So some gambits are thought to be, you know, more solid than others. 02:56.850 --> 03:02.040 So both EFO and defo have their governments to be aware of. 03:02.580 --> 03:10.440 And you can also, for example, if you're playing against defo you can play weird and wacky game. 03:10.440 --> 03:14.580 It's like the England gambit, not England, Ireland, but England. 03:15.390 --> 03:16.740 That's one of the least respectable. 03:16.980 --> 03:18.630 It's a more respectable gambit. 03:19.110 --> 03:21.480 It's, for example, the Benko Gometz. 03:21.480 --> 03:23.070 Will this only be five here? 03:23.370 --> 03:30.510 There's actually a positional fundamental basis to this gambit that black quite often is getting long 03:30.510 --> 03:37.560 term, you know, queen side pressure through this semi open file here and this diagonal here when they 03:37.560 --> 03:39.690 think cazzo the bishop later. 03:39.990 --> 03:47.580 So as an example, as a fictional example, you know, black generally does quite well with the bank, 03:47.580 --> 03:50.010 again, especially on fourth time controls. 03:51.750 --> 03:58.620 So some gometz or almost solid than others, some are just really potentially unsound. 03:59.580 --> 04:01.980 Some date back to the romantic era of chess. 04:02.880 --> 04:07.350 Basically, gambits do spice up the game quite considerably. 04:07.800 --> 04:12.210 And if, for example, against the French defense, you want to bypass the opponents, only in theory 04:12.570 --> 04:18.150 there's this reti gambit where you can sack born here and try and get it back later with interest sometimes. 04:18.450 --> 04:25.140 So there a great way of bypassing opening theory, having a lot of fun, not having spent too much time 04:25.950 --> 04:31.670 learning that ocean of opening period so you can spend time optimizing other parts of your game, getting 04:31.690 --> 04:40.230 fundamentals right and introduce you in more detail to some specific interesting gometz that should 04:40.230 --> 04:42.240 be worthy of attention. 04:42.720 --> 04:48.630 And also they can help you develop your tactical skills because lines are open for your pieces to brief 04:48.840 --> 04:49.770 to have activity. 04:50.370 --> 04:57.270 Piece activity often leads to tactics and combinations and ice king attacks getting you to see the thrill 04:57.780 --> 04:59.700 and the excitement of attacking. 04:59.890 --> 05:07.450 Yes, quite often so gametes are a great tool for learning, they might not be the soundest openings 05:07.450 --> 05:14.440 going, but they also offer informational advantages to the opponents who might not be as prepared as 05:14.440 --> 05:16.380 you are in a certain gamut. 05:16.870 --> 05:21.010 So basically, there are a great way of winning games and having fun. 05:21.590 --> 05:23.320 You should check some of them out. 05:23.800 --> 05:25.570 OK, Pensacola's.
