WEBVTT 00:01.030 --> 00:01.690 Hi there. 00:02.830 --> 00:08.980 If you think about what is the relationship between my free golden ingredients of calculation, I routinely 00:08.980 --> 00:11.360 use weakness of who last move. 00:11.380 --> 00:16.120 Isn't that looking for opportunities to get squares that the opponent neglected? 00:17.110 --> 00:22.210 Isn't the common squares also, in a way, getting access to squares where your pieces cooperate so 00:22.210 --> 00:26.950 they give you a license to use squares, which previously you couldn't without losing material to in 00:26.950 --> 00:28.440 a way that squares as well. 00:30.620 --> 00:36.860 And the in effect clause, isn't that about squares as well, when you have discovery of facts, you're 00:36.860 --> 00:39.020 gaining access to certain squares. 00:39.020 --> 00:44.660 When you're liberating pieces, you're gaining access to squares not just for where the piece actually 00:44.660 --> 00:51.390 moved and what it frightens, but other pieces now are looking at squares that they weren't. 00:51.920 --> 00:57.080 So even the act of liberation, the discovery of facts is about squares. 00:57.080 --> 00:58.790 Chess is about squares. 00:59.300 --> 01:03.050 Sometimes you can access the squares in the most outrageous ways. 01:03.590 --> 01:04.580 Unimaginable. 01:04.850 --> 01:10.730 Here is a Boris Spassky comment, a combination Boris Spassky played Fischer in the 1972 match. 01:11.000 --> 01:13.240 He is a great legends in his own right. 01:14.120 --> 01:18.020 He was for a long time the strongest Russian grandmaster. 01:18.290 --> 01:20.180 Here were the black pieces. 01:20.300 --> 01:25.400 He plays a stunning move which illustrates this lost to win squares. 01:25.740 --> 01:31.850 If this is the commonality between my three golden ingredients that have given you essentially that 01:31.850 --> 01:39.980 that goal in itself to win sequences is very greatly emphasized in this position, in dramatic fashion. 01:40.940 --> 01:46.940 If we follow our ingredients and look for the very forcing moves, we can look at all the checks, we 01:46.940 --> 01:50.660 can look at all the captions, and more subtly, we can look at all the frat's. 01:50.660 --> 01:56.720 The major top major France will be a of making one or two. 01:56.720 --> 02:00.380 I don't mean major frat's like twenty to a pawn to one night. 02:00.680 --> 02:01.130 No one. 02:01.130 --> 02:04.400 I talk about major France, I'm talking about France and making one and two. 02:04.760 --> 02:06.710 Those are going to win new games, more of them. 02:06.710 --> 02:11.960 Not if you're in the middle of a blitz game, for example, and you threaten to win a pawn, you could 02:11.960 --> 02:15.170 end up winning on a pawn by then, losing on time. 02:15.530 --> 02:17.900 If you want to be more effective than any time, control. 02:18.050 --> 02:24.140 When you consider your frat's, make the major make them war ending frat's, not battle ending frat's. 02:24.140 --> 02:24.950 You want to win the war. 02:24.950 --> 02:25.970 Not a little battle. 02:26.270 --> 02:29.390 So major, major frat's of one or two. 02:30.590 --> 02:36.590 You know, when you prioritize the forcing moves and see the impact on winning squares, basically the 02:36.590 --> 02:38.270 weaknesses of the last move that you create. 02:38.270 --> 02:43.910 So here can we actually do something which is really, really significant in this position? 02:44.270 --> 02:47.510 If I give you five seconds, pause video, what would you play? 02:48.500 --> 02:51.770 So you might want to check all checks and there's at least two checks to check out. 02:54.670 --> 03:02.110 Yep, so in our prioritization of forcing moves and he captures where we can capture on B5. 03:04.820 --> 03:11.150 And he frets that one or two, so kind of war ends in France, major France. 03:13.880 --> 03:19.310 OK, I hope you clarified the checks on this occasion, don't actually do that much if we look at this 03:19.310 --> 03:24.650 check and it's kind of a false move by King one, where's the follow up? 03:26.210 --> 03:28.780 The night adequately protects H2. 03:28.790 --> 03:31.670 So even if we move on Queenan, we're still not threatening anything. 03:31.670 --> 03:33.050 It's adequately protected. 03:33.560 --> 03:35.120 I think it was adequately protected. 03:36.020 --> 03:37.040 Well, what about the other one? 03:37.850 --> 03:39.650 Again, kind of same story. 03:39.650 --> 03:43.630 So we're getting nowhere and we haven't actually won any squares that we didn't have access to. 03:44.270 --> 03:48.410 If we look at the threats now, there's no major captures either. 03:48.410 --> 03:51.590 I mean, Bishop so wants no big deal. 03:52.100 --> 03:55.490 OK, I can tell you that anyway. 03:55.490 --> 04:01.970 But if we look now at the threats of meeting one or two more threats of making one or two, do we have. 04:04.380 --> 04:12.180 Well, actually, we can Fransen A in one by the Queen G5 or an outrageous way, so you might lose the 04:12.180 --> 04:14.580 Queen G5 and you do gain access. 04:14.580 --> 04:20.790 It seems you weaken, for example, with Jeoffrey, you can get into Afri and maybe, you know, that 04:20.790 --> 04:25.110 would have been dangerous, but it doesn't seem that dangerous there and nor does it seem that dangerous 04:25.110 --> 04:25.620 there. 04:27.210 --> 04:32.030 And in fact, you know, the opponent also has this option potentially. 04:32.580 --> 04:34.050 So that's not major. 04:34.050 --> 04:36.540 It doesn't prove to the winner's squares. 04:37.470 --> 04:40.170 But there is a move which Bruce, the Windsor Squares. 04:41.610 --> 04:44.320 Which is the main one, which is not Queen G5. 04:44.340 --> 04:45.210 Can you spot it? 04:48.880 --> 04:56.050 OK, and it's Queensferry, yeah, we're friends of mine, one, there's no G Frager's G2, so really 04:56.050 --> 04:59.740 we are disrupting the opponents -- configuration. 05:01.720 --> 05:05.680 When we do that, that's often major golden opportunities arise. 05:06.400 --> 05:08.500 So they actually have to take that. 05:09.970 --> 05:13.390 And you're poor moving from that's their kraatz to weaknesses potentially. 05:13.660 --> 05:16.600 Renfree have now been significantly weakened. 05:16.600 --> 05:20.920 So we've kind of won squares in a totally dramatic, forceful way. 05:21.340 --> 05:23.080 Which way to take on a free. 05:28.290 --> 05:33.600 Now, we want access sometimes to the common squares, and if we take with a knife, we don't actually 05:33.600 --> 05:36.090 get any killer common squares to speak of. 05:37.910 --> 05:40.660 There's no way to create anything of significance. 05:40.680 --> 05:44.640 For example, we haven't got a rock on G5 to mean rock Jiwon. 05:44.640 --> 05:46.310 There isn't a common square on Jiwon. 05:46.620 --> 05:47.800 H2 is guarded. 05:48.180 --> 05:50.340 So what about the other way of checking? 05:51.210 --> 05:57.420 Do we have any access to potentially killer common squares in this position where two pieces can cooperate 05:57.450 --> 05:58.260 as a team? 05:59.210 --> 06:04.520 Is there such a move which actually frightens, I might add, one in this position as well? 06:09.190 --> 06:17.920 OK, Jeffrey, we're actually threatening Bishop G to checkmate and in fact, what can we do once only 06:17.920 --> 06:27.650 got Spight chance here to follow if quintets we just take one of us won't do nothing once getting checkmated. 06:28.900 --> 06:29.680 So it looks as though. 06:29.680 --> 06:30.190 Hold on. 06:30.460 --> 06:33.600 So this example is actually kind of very interesting. 06:34.300 --> 06:40.870 We're gaining dramatic example to squares and we're using the common squares after finding exactly the 06:40.870 --> 06:42.610 right chance to use it. 06:42.670 --> 06:44.040 Yes, a remarkable move. 06:44.050 --> 06:44.740 It's a stunner. 06:44.750 --> 06:46.540 It's a beauty, in my view. 06:46.540 --> 06:47.560 This Queensferry free. 06:48.130 --> 06:53.140 But the main principle I wanted to illustrate wasn't, you know, the flashiness of this. 06:53.530 --> 07:03.430 I think the undertone in general, the undertone philosophy of my golden ingredients is about winning 07:03.430 --> 07:05.760 squares in chess. 07:05.770 --> 07:12.130 If you win squares, you gain access to things that help you win games and squares that often help you 07:12.130 --> 07:12.830 win games. 07:13.210 --> 07:22.240 So here this is just a dramatic example of that spirit of winning squares and how, you know, when 07:22.240 --> 07:27.100 you prioritize forcing moves, you need to see what squares you're winning. 07:27.280 --> 07:32.710 So that ambition's win squares must be linked to the ambition of winning games. 07:32.950 --> 07:36.820 The more you want to win squares, the more you're probably going to win games. 07:38.330 --> 07:42.330 Two people looking at the same position, one finds one winning squares, the other doesn't. 07:42.680 --> 07:46.100 That's your difference between you and your rivals. 07:46.610 --> 07:52.900 Your ambition to win squares is the undertone, the actual tools which have those in common that ambition. 07:53.240 --> 07:58.040 Yeah, the weakness of the last move, always on the lookout for what the opponent we can do have got 07:58.040 --> 08:01.450 access to that square, the killer CommScope, common square, as always. 08:01.460 --> 08:06.650 And look out for getting your team of pieces, cooperating on those squares, in effect, gaining access 08:06.650 --> 08:11.810 to those squares and the liberation of the facts, making sure your pieces are kind of liberated enough 08:11.810 --> 08:17.600 active enough fish to try to keep his pieces active and liberated, sometimes even compromises pawn 08:17.600 --> 08:20.180 structure because he wants his pieces liberated. 08:20.600 --> 08:25.970 And when you look at the liberation of facts or moves, then you'll be more keen to sometimes open up 08:25.970 --> 08:26.450 positions. 08:26.450 --> 08:32.600 You'll be more keen to do amazing pawn sacrifices like Fisher did to brilliantly crush opponents because 08:32.600 --> 08:36.320 he sees the subtle liberationist effects all around the position. 08:36.800 --> 08:43.960 Gaining access to squares, gaining access to squares should become a passion within a passion. 08:43.970 --> 08:48.560 In fact, it is a common thing about these free golden ideas. 08:49.880 --> 08:54.980 Some food for thought that I hope may you win squares and win games. 08:55.190 --> 08:57.380 OK, thanks very much.
