WEBVTT 00:01.980 --> 00:02.640 Hi there. 00:03.690 --> 00:06.410 In this, we're going to have a look at the so-called Benko Guimet. 00:06.420 --> 00:11.550 So when you're playing with the black pieces and your opponents played for, you might want to play 00:11.550 --> 00:12.230 my upsets. 00:12.750 --> 00:20.490 And after CIFOR, you might want to play Seifi to enter here into a highly respectable gambit, especially 00:20.610 --> 00:22.370 for online purchases at the time. 00:22.640 --> 00:29.280 Charles, this is a gambit which is going to sometimes give you good pressure and long term Queensland 00:29.280 --> 00:30.360 pressure in particular. 00:31.470 --> 00:39.060 So this model game, this kind of advert to peak your interest for playing This is the game, Andrew 00:39.060 --> 00:40.560 Winley against Michael Waldor. 00:40.560 --> 00:45.030 I saw this actually in 1987 when I played them most my masters. 00:45.030 --> 00:45.990 It was on the demo board. 00:46.320 --> 00:50.880 I thought it was a really, really exciting game being played by the American grandmaster with the black 00:50.880 --> 00:51.360 pieces. 00:51.630 --> 00:55.690 Michael Wylder against Andrew Won in International Master. 00:56.160 --> 01:01.950 So we see has see takes be five ASX and this game, it was accepted. 01:03.030 --> 01:09.660 And hey, you don't have to take a majorly when ASX might want to play it delayed that now it took on 01:09.660 --> 01:10.110 ASX. 01:10.300 --> 01:12.980 Lefranc We see desex Jeoffrey. 01:12.990 --> 01:15.100 So what was black actually got for the pawn. 01:15.870 --> 01:21.780 Well a feature, a common feature of all these games is sometimes well a relatively common feature of 01:21.780 --> 01:22.680 most of these candidates. 01:22.700 --> 01:28.710 This let's not be too definite about it, is you get a semi open file and files that a one way road. 01:28.800 --> 01:32.550 You want your cars going to the opponent's position without cars coming back. 01:32.550 --> 01:34.200 It's like a one way road or motorway. 01:34.920 --> 01:39.060 And we see how this this seems already, you know, quite a comfortable position for black. 01:39.570 --> 01:42.420 If they accept the game, it you have a lot of pressure. 01:42.420 --> 01:45.360 There's no bad pieces essentially in the black position. 01:46.020 --> 01:53.610 And we can see, you know, we've Rukeyser's rookie one might be six, he four, 1957 Black has this 01:53.610 --> 01:55.140 nice long range bishop. 01:55.140 --> 01:59.040 And it seems, you know, this counterpart, Bishop is a little bit on the passive side. 01:59.850 --> 02:03.180 We see Bishop AF1 here. 02:03.930 --> 02:06.240 You know, it's an interesting rich position. 02:06.240 --> 02:10.320 If, for example, King aged two nights before is interesting. 02:10.320 --> 02:16.080 For example, hair queen, a five, and they're already friends, like might be two potentially. 02:16.380 --> 02:18.900 And Bishopsgate Siegfried's undermine that night. 02:19.590 --> 02:23.220 So here, for example, you know, this possession is getting tricky. 02:23.700 --> 02:27.720 Well, you can see that one way road, that one way motorway is being expressed. 02:27.720 --> 02:32.970 Look at all of this pressure being exerted by these pieces in this variation. 02:33.540 --> 02:39.570 And eventually that can result in getting back your pawn with huge interest, you know, a reasonable 02:39.570 --> 02:41.480 week, perhaps getting a big advantage there. 02:41.880 --> 02:47.520 So anyway, White tries to simplify with one, black obliges. 02:47.880 --> 02:53.130 King takes it now, Queen eight, Quincy to Rook be eight rakita. 02:55.230 --> 02:57.660 So here I mean, this is a tricky position. 02:57.660 --> 03:00.840 My rookie to played, you might think, well what about the free here. 03:01.620 --> 03:06.720 But Black can try and see for for example, this possession and get that C five square. 03:07.110 --> 03:13.110 There seems to be enough compensation if ninety three and if we get a bishop of our counterpart look 03:13.110 --> 03:13.710 out for that. 03:13.890 --> 03:17.820 When you have a better way accountable, you know things happen. 03:17.970 --> 03:23.100 For example, this position Bishop saying see for at the right time make a four ouch. 03:23.580 --> 03:27.180 -- Queen and rook as an example. 03:27.180 --> 03:29.760 So rookie to white has to tread carefully. 03:30.870 --> 03:33.800 We see 94, 96 rotations. 03:33.810 --> 03:42.120 We see a free black and claim at this point enough compensation, there's enough compensation to claim 03:42.300 --> 03:44.460 equality, in fact. 03:45.330 --> 03:51.720 So create a sense if you look at the passivity of this bishop compared to this one in particular, you 03:51.720 --> 03:55.530 know, this is what may be instead, sometimes when I play instruments, I do look around. 03:56.070 --> 04:00.780 And if I do see something exciting, I have maybe look at the database. 04:00.780 --> 04:03.750 After what happens, I maybe try out in my own games. 04:04.110 --> 04:06.170 So these things kind of spread, these ideas spread. 04:06.480 --> 04:07.650 So my interest in the bank. 04:07.660 --> 04:09.150 OK, yeah. 04:09.150 --> 04:14.400 As a result of this particular game and now showing you in this, in this course, it's all from that. 04:14.400 --> 04:17.310 You know, I'm a bit of a wanderer sometimes when I was playing in these homes. 04:18.240 --> 04:19.650 I wouldn't recommend that totally. 04:19.650 --> 04:24.060 Sometimes you do need to be totally immersed in your own game and not look at what's happening around 04:24.060 --> 04:25.260 the tournament venue, by the way. 04:25.740 --> 04:28.500 But sometimes you can pick up interesting ideas. 04:28.890 --> 04:31.580 Rugby one, we have eight, six, be free. 04:31.590 --> 04:32.460 This is a mistake. 04:33.150 --> 04:42.570 No Black plays Sifry and in fact, of the before rotates every you know, black is doing absolutely 04:42.570 --> 04:48.510 fine, has regained the form and in fact now has this dangerous form. 04:48.780 --> 04:56.370 Why it was perhaps hoping to entrench a night into C6, not believing perhaps Black's next move. 04:56.910 --> 04:59.190 Sometimes in principle you don't want to give up the fan. 04:59.190 --> 05:00.050 Cazzo Bishop was the. 05:00.460 --> 05:07.160 My weaknesses, but it does exactly that in this particular circumstance, these thoughts. 05:07.180 --> 05:10.690 My weaknesses are not entirely exploitable in chess. 05:10.690 --> 05:11.950 A weakness is only a weakness. 05:11.950 --> 05:13.300 If it's actually exploitable. 05:13.720 --> 05:17.280 It's a theoretical no dance to our weaknesses here. 05:17.800 --> 05:20.340 And in fact, the bigger thing is the Seiple. 05:20.890 --> 05:26.620 We see Quincy full with tempo, driving the bishop away anyway, or at least asking why to tactically 05:26.620 --> 05:27.400 protect us. 05:28.090 --> 05:31.860 So that can't be taken because the queen will be hanging. 05:33.040 --> 05:41.980 So we have Rosea now saying I'm, you know, move your rook wrote Die Free, but then we have 95 bishop 05:41.980 --> 05:42.490 takes. 05:42.670 --> 05:43.210 Yeah. 05:43.390 --> 05:47.410 Once had enough hair of this position. 05:47.410 --> 05:50.650 So it takes only five detainees rookie free. 05:51.640 --> 05:55.390 We have rook to Quincy one and the passport is pushed. 05:55.930 --> 05:59.760 So yeah, this is another glorious, very, very biased adver. 05:59.770 --> 06:01.930 I'm showing you the Benko gambit. 06:02.230 --> 06:03.280 Very, very biased. 06:04.030 --> 06:09.040 You want to do your own research, though, with with opening databases, find other example games, 06:09.040 --> 06:16.950 model games, usually on, you know, most the games played between ideally, you know, types of players 06:16.950 --> 06:17.950 that am gems. 06:18.280 --> 06:22.180 So this is actually a time to play a game, though, to be Fair Work one. 06:22.810 --> 06:25.600 So we have here the pawn queening. 06:25.900 --> 06:27.580 So blankest winning. 06:27.580 --> 06:36.450 Now there is this passport to deal with Quinlivan and we have Queene one, OK, with a five and now 06:36.460 --> 06:41.440 the queen goes to a one causing trouble and how this battery is set up. 06:41.440 --> 06:45.460 So with a battery, this arrangement, this is an example of the battery. 06:45.820 --> 06:50.590 We're getting access to kill a common squares by default, like G1 in particular. 06:50.680 --> 06:59.620 Each one we have King coming out, Roxxy to King for an hour of the routine's F2. 07:02.280 --> 07:09.870 Waits for in the town White resigned, Michael Wilder was playing to win with the black, he says he 07:09.870 --> 07:17.290 employed a gambit and in fact, in 1997 in this particular tournament, he actually won the Lewis Black 07:17.370 --> 07:17.760 Moses. 07:17.760 --> 07:19.950 He won the whole event on spring break. 07:22.500 --> 07:25.710 So, you know, pretty amazing achievements. 07:28.560 --> 07:35.330 So if you do want to look for really aggressive openings, by the way, things like the noise about 07:35.340 --> 07:42.990 masters, which were big, big Swiss tournaments, not like, you know, the modern super GM or playoffs, 07:43.320 --> 07:45.370 we're talking about hundreds of players playing in it. 07:45.690 --> 07:49.260 And you've got to try and win with both cars, but with both white and black. 07:49.650 --> 07:55.580 So you get to see there's really kind of brutal, you know, openings and gambits in action. 07:56.160 --> 07:57.350 So the Benko gambit. 07:57.360 --> 07:57.720 Yeah. 07:57.750 --> 08:02.190 Is this was an inspiring game example for me to witness on the demo board. 08:03.390 --> 08:09.300 You know, you can have fun and try and play professional chess at the same time with gambits, if it's 08:09.300 --> 08:16.260 good enough for of the, you know, the winner of the Masters in 1997, then you have to say that there 08:16.260 --> 08:18.070 has to be some substance in it. 08:18.220 --> 08:21.660 And it's not just what the engineering is, solid or sound. 08:22.020 --> 08:23.120 You're playing humans. 08:23.400 --> 08:24.420 Humans make mistakes. 08:24.780 --> 08:28.710 They haven't got the technical side to defend positions like computers. 08:28.710 --> 08:33.000 So gambits are often worth a punt, so to speak, you know, worth a try. 08:34.650 --> 08:36.600 So this is an interesting advert for it. 08:37.290 --> 08:42.590 And I hope you do try it out in your own games. 08:42.600 --> 08:45.300 It's a lot of fun to be had for sure. 08:47.040 --> 08:54.270 OK, in this final position, you might have a query, which is, hang on, what about this pawn? 08:54.270 --> 08:56.800 If it did move there, how does Blake actually win? 08:57.330 --> 08:59.430 Well, the key thing is Queen one check. 09:01.290 --> 09:02.850 Yeah, this is a really crushing move. 09:03.780 --> 09:09.570 For example, King H for Benji five is Checkmates or credentialling with Charmaine's. 09:09.780 --> 09:12.990 So clearly it seems well on that evidence. 09:15.120 --> 09:20.640 But what has to go into a pin and you might think, well, OK, but we're only two steps away from queening 09:20.640 --> 09:20.940 here. 09:21.390 --> 09:22.800 Squasher that's true. 09:23.040 --> 09:26.520 But we have a tactical resource here which really blows apart points. 09:26.520 --> 09:27.330 King safety. 09:27.840 --> 09:29.370 Can you spot what that is? 09:29.370 --> 09:36.240 If I give you five seconds pause video as a tactical test, blacks play and checkmate, what would you 09:36.240 --> 09:37.110 do in this position? 09:37.770 --> 09:41.250 You know that you've got a time limit here otherwise when it's getting a queen. 09:42.120 --> 09:43.950 So what do you do in this position? 09:46.290 --> 09:49.350 OK, and check checks basically. 09:49.500 --> 09:56.210 And hopefully you find a check which does add a lot of value to a position, does emphasize downsides 09:56.210 --> 09:57.910 and the opponents position clear downsides. 09:58.320 --> 10:02.940 It opens up that king more so here. 10:05.810 --> 10:12.650 If one ignores this, then we just like take here and there's no time to do this where it was going 10:12.650 --> 10:17.780 to step up that and, you know, and there's no time to really take, you know, the king is going to 10:17.780 --> 10:19.130 get mated with G5. 10:20.420 --> 10:24.140 So let's assume that they take this --. 10:25.110 --> 10:32.690 Now, you've opened up another road to the king, a rank of death, so to speak, not dagbladet. 10:32.900 --> 10:38.600 A rank of death has been a queen dead for Jack and what it won't do. 10:38.600 --> 10:40.160 So it has to interpose the rock. 10:40.640 --> 10:45.880 Then we can take her and then Queen takes effort is checkmate. 10:46.580 --> 10:50.900 So, yeah, the game ended here because yeah, this is really quite crushing. 10:50.900 --> 10:59.240 After uptakes, after introducing this potential of Queen one check, which is absolutely lethal, creates 10:59.240 --> 11:01.400 a pain and then we can open up more stuff to the king. 11:01.910 --> 11:06.110 So yes, it was ended her after uptakes after OK.
