WEBVTT 00:01.020 --> 00:08.940 Hi there in this introductory lecture, I want to discuss in particular what happens when you play a 00:08.940 --> 00:17.250 number of Gamage, you often get to lose a pawn and you won't think, what is the trade off there when 00:17.250 --> 00:17.950 you lose a pawn? 00:18.300 --> 00:23.520 Well, for example, in the Smith Moore gambit, we lose a pawn and we get. 00:25.930 --> 00:32.920 Sharing of the cell phone instead of black having just the same phone, we're sharing that cell phone 00:34.360 --> 00:41.780 and our loss of a pawn here means we've got that same phone to play with as well. 00:42.700 --> 00:47.160 So we've got more pressure and we've got a slight lead in developments as well. 00:47.950 --> 00:55.540 And it's these factors which make this gambit pretty playable, definitely at the club level and a very, 00:55.540 --> 00:57.330 very dangerous one as such. 00:57.640 --> 01:06.040 And many people are now frightened of, for example, the speth more a government and off to see free 01:06.040 --> 01:07.480 play move like night of sex. 01:07.750 --> 01:09.010 And you need to know what you're doing here. 01:09.020 --> 01:10.390 So they're kind of declining it. 01:11.530 --> 01:16.820 So we end up transposing into potentially a sea free sitting and the Olympian version. 01:17.680 --> 01:26.920 So the key point of that example as an example is look at what's happening to the semi finals. 01:27.300 --> 01:33.480 You might wonder, well, what's the big deal about summer and fall if we look at another one? 01:33.490 --> 01:35.730 Another example came at the Danish government. 01:35.950 --> 01:44.230 So if I default and see free and if they take you take care of, the big deal is there is this summer 01:44.230 --> 01:45.650 and fall here that we've got. 01:46.990 --> 01:48.120 It's dangerous. 01:48.550 --> 01:54.220 It's like one way traffic were black, potentially is losing some options. 01:54.760 --> 01:55.960 You've got an extra in the queen. 01:55.960 --> 01:58.840 So sometimes there are options to exploit this fact. 02:00.340 --> 02:04.090 And phones are pretty dangerous and also sometimes a missing pawn from a game. 02:04.090 --> 02:12.640 But if we look at the stones in Yemen as an example, can actually lead to exile in its own right. 02:13.300 --> 02:20.180 When we not only get a particular a different segment on this occasion, but because the F two point 02:20.180 --> 02:28.660 is thing later, quite often Queene once a fool becomes an option for an attack, you know, for example, 02:29.440 --> 02:36.550 like this, what we can get an attacking position built up quite easily sometimes on the opponents. 02:36.550 --> 02:44.920 King, if they cancel, sometimes we've got the right attacking approaches with the queen, mostly part 02:44.930 --> 02:45.670 294. 02:46.090 --> 02:51.970 So the absence of the airport is not just on this occasion a shared fault with the Dutch defence Akashat 02:52.060 --> 02:52.270 fault. 02:52.270 --> 02:55.810 But we've got semi open file here on this occasion. 02:58.060 --> 02:59.590 So that's a two way street. 02:59.920 --> 03:03.690 And this is a one way kind of street where we've lost phone line, but we've got pressure there. 03:04.450 --> 03:08.260 But also, yeah, it allows our queen to bounce e one. 03:08.260 --> 03:13.120 That's the important characteristic of certain gambits. 03:13.120 --> 03:18.100 If it's an F pawn, you lose that balancing effect in the black team. 03:18.100 --> 03:29.380 Again, as an example, if the form D5 and you play this Black Montezuma comment with Mitzy free and 03:29.380 --> 03:30.640 you lose the airport. 03:30.640 --> 03:34.480 Yeah, it's not just the act of having a smart phone here. 03:34.600 --> 03:38.950 So unlike the Dutch, it's not Ashad phone, it's a semi open phone. 03:39.070 --> 03:40.450 So it's like a one way road. 03:40.750 --> 03:44.560 You can also bounce your queen via Iwon. 03:45.490 --> 03:47.890 So for example, if they play passively. 03:49.930 --> 03:55.930 Yeah, then you can see that you can get, you know, quite an aggressive position with queening one 03:55.930 --> 03:57.160 bouncing ball that diagonal. 03:57.520 --> 04:02.620 So it's not just that we've got some info with that missing call and sometimes this tidelands also kind 04:02.620 --> 04:03.190 of nifty. 04:03.730 --> 04:05.100 So look out for that as well. 04:05.200 --> 04:10.450 Where where you lose a pawn, you've kind of liberated potential peace movements. 04:11.890 --> 04:14.530 So and it gives you also a lead environment. 04:14.800 --> 04:24.550 So you're trading off a little bit of material pawn to get a lead environment, sometimes an extra pressure, 04:24.580 --> 04:31.180 which can be in the form of fouls, but also extra tactical operations, which you wouldn't have had 04:31.600 --> 04:32.920 because that pawn is missing. 04:33.370 --> 04:35.980 So gamers are really, really fascinating. 04:37.420 --> 04:42.790 And in your early stages of chess developments, they offer a great, great way of you getting pretty 04:42.790 --> 04:44.830 exciting positions. 04:45.310 --> 04:50.980 And even, you know, the king's gambit, you might think, is one sound you might have heard it's on 04:50.980 --> 04:55.870 sound, but actually, you know, it can lead to pretty amazing games. 04:56.170 --> 05:01.810 And even at the super grandmaster level, Nakamura, in a one day, you know, that game managed to 05:01.810 --> 05:07.120 beat Michael Adams, one of the leading British player at the time with the Kings game. 05:07.600 --> 05:12.340 So it does have venom, even though it might be from the romance era of chess and computers might think 05:12.340 --> 05:13.120 it's unsound. 05:13.720 --> 05:18.700 It's these are lurking dangers that especially if you can get the form back, you've essentially got 05:19.150 --> 05:20.140 this summer and fall. 05:20.140 --> 05:24.510 So targets on the F four if you can get the form back and the. 05:24.550 --> 05:26.400 Kingsgate is also pretty interesting, 05:29.320 --> 05:36.430 so the Queen's Gambit is the sounds of all really black can do a lot of damage if they do try and take 05:36.430 --> 05:37.800 the opponent and hold onto it. 05:38.740 --> 05:46.810 So and if they if they do that also, you know, sometimes if they don't do too much damage, you've 05:46.810 --> 05:48.820 still got a semi cifas pressure. 05:48.820 --> 05:54.070 Later, after they say, can you say you regain the form, they let you regain the pawn. 05:55.840 --> 05:58.480 You've got this semi I can see far, which can be annoying. 05:59.850 --> 06:01.690 Hair bearing down. 06:02.280 --> 06:12.210 So essentially what I wanted to say with this very brief overview is, look how you know for these lines 06:12.210 --> 06:18.420 that are more open than before, especially those semi open files where you've got a missing -- and 06:18.420 --> 06:27.030 you've got this piece pressure that can become very, very handy to have extra piece activity for your 06:27.030 --> 06:27.720 tactics. 06:27.960 --> 06:33.690 As you get better tactics, these gamers really can become huge, formidable weapons. 06:36.330 --> 06:37.710 So bear in mind. 06:39.180 --> 06:46.870 Michael Steele has written, you know, the poems on the fundamental constraints on pieces of the also 06:46.890 --> 06:49.920 your pieces are constraining your pieces, but quite often it's the pawns. 06:50.550 --> 06:53.240 And when you play government, you're making the game more open. 06:54.000 --> 06:57.960 So if you're making the game more open, there's less constraint on your pieces. 06:58.680 --> 07:02.000 And hopefully you see some of the power of these governments. 07:02.000 --> 07:04.050 For the example games I will show you. 07:04.830 --> 07:06.810 OK, that's a much.
