WEBVTT 00:00.880 --> 00:01.590 Hi there. 00:01.900 --> 00:05.100 In this next, we're going to have a look at the so-called Smith Moore gambit. 00:05.530 --> 00:12.460 So if you're white and you play E4 and they play Sicilian defense, you might want some kind of gambit 00:12.730 --> 00:15.220 to use a hair to avoid the mainline theory. 00:15.520 --> 00:19.270 So the mainline Sicilian would be like the open Sicilian. 00:19.630 --> 00:26.290 But it does require you to learn quite a lot of theory and in all different variations of the Sicilian 00:26.290 --> 00:32.950 defense, potentially you can bypass all of this by just playing a gambit, especially if you're just 00:32.950 --> 00:35.350 playing online for fun for the time. 00:35.350 --> 00:41.370 Controls this gambit after sometimes you just play Sifry and you're accelerating your development, 00:42.100 --> 00:44.210 you're sharing the CFO. 00:44.230 --> 00:45.520 It's a two way road. 00:46.930 --> 00:51.190 You've got also a semi open file pressure on that Diffa. 00:52.720 --> 00:56.080 And this has been a favorite of mine for many, many years. 00:56.080 --> 00:56.650 And blintz. 00:57.040 --> 01:06.760 I have a very big playlist with the Gambetta, the Smith Ma Gambit, and also there's an international 01:06.760 --> 01:11.440 master exponent who has written a whole book on about it, Mark Assman. 01:12.010 --> 01:15.010 So I thought we should have a look at one of Mark's games. 01:15.040 --> 01:20.560 This is against a grandmaster opponent in the 112 US Open. 01:20.560 --> 01:26.110 Round six, we see Lock Van Wheely playing nine ninety six here. 01:28.510 --> 01:34.840 So can this can it be justified against a grandmaster of longer Angeles stature? 01:35.290 --> 01:35.890 We see no. 01:35.890 --> 01:42.280 Jeffrey Sachs, Bishop CIFOR, ASX, White Castles, Knight G7. 01:43.960 --> 01:47.260 Now we see Bishop G five six every. 01:49.210 --> 01:51.880 So some weaknesses have been created in Black's camp. 01:52.840 --> 01:58.390 White Guards have significant pressure in theory, but in practice, can that be unveiled? 01:59.020 --> 02:01.570 We see the bishop dropping back here to be free. 02:04.290 --> 02:11.510 White has a very, very big idea now in this position of the B5, it's a sort for Mattick kind of sacrifice, 02:12.170 --> 02:18.290 which if you read Marksman's book, Mohammed Merah, you'll get used to this kind of fanatic sacrifice 02:18.300 --> 02:23.600 in this particular variation where Black has this particular set up and that dramatic move. 02:23.660 --> 02:26.350 Well, I wonder if you can guess if I give you five cents for the video. 02:26.870 --> 02:27.740 What is white play? 02:28.030 --> 02:28.720 I'll give you a clue. 02:28.730 --> 02:33.650 It helps liberate this whole dayglo, makes this whole thing a little bit more sensitive and improves 02:33.650 --> 02:34.860 the quality of the special. 02:35.930 --> 02:41.150 So it's a kind of positional peace sacrifice to be aware of in this particular line. 02:41.750 --> 02:47.180 And it's 95, so it sets immediate dangers up. 02:47.180 --> 02:48.890 There should be sex if it's ignored. 02:48.890 --> 02:53.790 And 97, for example, by Bishop B, sex is immediately like trapping the queen as well. 02:54.350 --> 02:56.280 So it is taken eatings. 02:56.310 --> 02:59.390 We seem C five now desex. 02:59.390 --> 03:06.140 So not giving black time to shut off this bishop that bishop has Clearview site on this dayglo. 03:07.580 --> 03:11.710 So you might think, wow, and this is all not in our mainline. 03:11.750 --> 03:12.350 That's right. 03:12.900 --> 03:18.560 You play a lot of systems and you can play a lot of gambits and you can play a lot of offbeat variations 03:18.560 --> 03:24.340 which often give, you know, very, very nice attacking position even against the grandmaster opponent. 03:25.280 --> 03:36.830 If you play your cards right, especially we see Bishop B seven nights E five offtakes, five F 1995 03:36.830 --> 03:37.160 here. 03:37.550 --> 03:41.290 Then Whiteside still has an advantage here. 03:41.300 --> 03:45.620 For example, Rook Iwon and Bishop five holding desex. 03:45.860 --> 03:47.600 This isn't such a bad position at all. 03:48.080 --> 03:50.960 If the black king stuck in the middle, there's compensation here. 03:51.860 --> 03:55.040 So yeah, very, very interesting position indeed. 03:55.190 --> 03:55.760 Could result. 03:55.760 --> 03:57.500 But anyway, offtakes is played. 03:59.090 --> 04:02.660 We see a full queen of thanks offtakes. 04:02.870 --> 04:06.350 Queen takes five and now a stunning tactical move. 04:06.860 --> 04:11.810 So the stronger you are tactically and the more you available to have amazing follow ups and one of 04:11.810 --> 04:19.790 the governments you play because you're trying to make use of a potentially temporary advantage of leading 04:20.090 --> 04:20.960 and peace pressure. 04:21.590 --> 04:23.900 And there's a brilliant move played in this position. 04:25.130 --> 04:26.240 I wonder if you can guess. 04:29.310 --> 04:35.340 OK, essentially, Bishop G five, yeah, I mean, it's got a Fratta rookie, Wamba, isn't the bishop 04:35.340 --> 04:35.930 just hanging? 04:36.450 --> 04:44.640 We see the bishop ignored the bishop even if Quintet's G5, then there's a really nifty move in 21 Chank. 04:46.380 --> 04:51.210 So for example, King The Ain't Queen 85 Jack and Quincy Severns Chameides. 04:52.500 --> 04:53.610 And we look at this again. 04:54.690 --> 05:06.440 If Bishop is seven seven Chac and this is the structure of bishops actually is chank seven chac d e 05:06.480 --> 05:13.050 seven change chac from the rock and you can see the carnage and destruction that results. 05:14.220 --> 05:17.880 So yes, very, very tricky indeed after this, this move. 05:19.830 --> 05:22.110 And you might think, well what about Queene five. 05:23.890 --> 05:32.290 Well, then there's still resources for whites, including, you know, F7 Shaq and Tensioning Queen 05:33.190 --> 05:34.340 A5 Jack. 05:34.360 --> 05:36.730 So that's that's also devastating, for example, like that. 05:37.360 --> 05:43.830 So anyway, in this position, Bishop, 87, was played, it seems like a very resourceful grandmaster 05:43.840 --> 05:45.550 move by Bishop F7 check. 05:45.700 --> 05:48.590 Make sure the king is not counseling detainees. 05:48.700 --> 05:55.270 He's seven, Chank maintains, and now Queen D2, which not only protects the bishop, but also means 05:55.270 --> 05:55.540 queen. 05:55.540 --> 05:56.860 A fine check is on the cards. 05:58.060 --> 06:08.830 We have Kingsgate Lucchese one check 96 things after one Queen of five, Bishop four and there's a potential 06:08.830 --> 06:09.700 battery move. 06:09.700 --> 06:13.150 Queen Desex getting access to a common Skyliners like C7. 06:13.600 --> 06:20.950 This battery arrangement between Queen and yes, the Bishop is offered there for this queen takes another 06:21.070 --> 06:30.220 battery king the eight and I won't crashes through her wiv can you guess. 06:32.090 --> 06:40.250 OK, Route 66 crashing through of the Queen St. C6, the game actually ended here as an example, if 06:40.250 --> 06:44.930 it carried on, you know, we're Roxxy eight, then Bishop G5 check his strong. 06:47.090 --> 06:54.380 And, you know, blacks in big, big trouble, if they're king or queen, it's checkmate, but most 06:54.380 --> 06:58.670 blacks actually do have this is a very, very bad position of Queen Elizabeth. 06:58.670 --> 07:01.850 We're just going to play queen, take some chutney, me. 07:02.240 --> 07:03.680 So really crossing finish. 07:04.200 --> 07:04.580 Yes. 07:04.580 --> 07:06.380 This is a glorious advance. 07:06.540 --> 07:13.970 Of course, a biased bystander, but seek the actual substance, not just the hype of what's presented 07:13.970 --> 07:17.480 to you generally, not just by me, but by by any games you find. 07:17.780 --> 07:25.640 But you will find, I mean, as I have found, great results to be had with this gambit system. 07:27.500 --> 07:33.350 I think also, you know, sometimes I suspect if you play off the opening's and Gometz opponents are 07:33.350 --> 07:34.250 not too happy. 07:34.250 --> 07:37.960 All of that time they spent learning vast swathes of open theory. 07:38.210 --> 07:43.820 I kind of wasted and have to learn this as well as the main line to in defense theory. 07:44.810 --> 07:51.800 Yeah, this is why, you know, it's a bit of a beginner's trap, that ocean of stuff to potentially 07:51.800 --> 07:59.300 minimize as also a big industry built up, you know, over the years of selling you a particular opening 07:59.810 --> 08:00.500 videos. 08:01.190 --> 08:09.500 You really want to get your fundamentals of the game in place before exposing yourself to essentially 08:09.500 --> 08:11.630 technical details of chess. 08:11.840 --> 08:18.140 The vast amounts of opening very when you play a game like this, you're saying, I just want an exciting 08:18.740 --> 08:21.440 position where I can test my tactics. 08:21.920 --> 08:24.020 I'm giving myself an accelerated pace. 08:24.020 --> 08:28.520 Activity, developments, all the fundamental rules of the opening are being adopted. 08:28.520 --> 08:35.000 Central control pace developments, rapid developments costing earlier, much earlier than the opponent. 08:35.390 --> 08:40.760 The opponent wasn't even able to counsel in this particular game because of this very interesting Phanatic 08:41.090 --> 08:44.540 piece sacrifice, which kept the black king in the center. 08:44.930 --> 08:49.670 So the game is also sometimes creates so much pressure they overwhelm the opponent. 08:49.670 --> 08:57.080 They can't even do the basic philosophy of the opening, which is to put oneself beyond the feet before 08:57.080 --> 08:59.090 active operations, before going on the attack. 09:00.590 --> 09:06.110 So the game has been a great point score for me, especially in defense, even against lambs and sometimes 09:06.110 --> 09:06.620 jams. 09:07.520 --> 09:10.790 Great results of Check out my spare for a playlist. 09:11.240 --> 09:14.270 So I like to recommend stuff to you that I've actually played first hand. 09:14.270 --> 09:18.020 I definitely have had a huge amount of fun with the spin from our in. 09:18.590 --> 09:25.460 I used to call it the more Smith-Gander before finding actually it should be Smith more government. 09:25.970 --> 09:28.640 So those are the two players that did a lot of research on it. 09:29.030 --> 09:34.100 But Mark, as well as the modern international monster who has written the book on it, and this is 09:34.100 --> 09:37.430 one of his model games, which is a great advert. 09:38.030 --> 09:43.430 So when you do your own research, you know, you can look at variety games to see a variety of different 09:43.430 --> 09:49.760 setups blank or just get the book, give you a guided tour of the different set ups. 09:50.720 --> 09:56.450 OK, my estimate is a really great guy, great sense of humor, very witty read actually may have and 09:56.460 --> 10:01.910 more if you do want to take this further in your studies to actually take this gambit to the next level 10:02.330 --> 10:04.790 to understand all the particular systems that black and play. 10:05.540 --> 10:07.300 OK, that's about.
