WEBVTT 00:01.480 --> 00:09.460 Hi there, this lecture is a kind of two in one, I'm going to tell you something about relative pens, 00:09.460 --> 00:14.530 and I'm also at the same time going to be using that as part of an opening track that you might want 00:14.530 --> 00:17.350 to use on unsuspecting opponents. 00:19.720 --> 00:27.000 So this lecture could actually go in two places in the opening transaction and also about relative pens. 00:27.730 --> 00:30.850 It's one of those very, very instructive opening traps. 00:31.240 --> 00:35.540 So for the Queen's Gambit of the D5 CIFOR, we have the Queen's Gambit. 00:35.800 --> 00:40.000 So you might have seen, I hope, the Netflix series and have lots of questions there. 00:41.020 --> 00:46.450 And any questions you have from that series, please do ask them. 00:46.450 --> 00:51.040 And I can set up new lectures if needed, by the way, to answer those questions about having covered 00:51.220 --> 00:54.190 any key concepts in that amazing series. 00:54.580 --> 01:01.240 But here we have what's called the Queen's Gambit, declined Lightsey Free Night of Sex and our Bishop 01:01.240 --> 01:01.610 G5. 01:01.630 --> 01:03.780 So bear in mind, this is just a relative pen. 01:04.180 --> 01:09.310 It's only relatively penning the noise we have now. 01:09.790 --> 01:11.830 Our trap, it seems as though. 01:11.830 --> 01:16.270 Hold on, this is quite dangerous, isn't it, for this poor? 01:16.270 --> 01:21.370 And sometimes the trap involves Knight Beedi seven and it looks as though hold on a sec. 01:22.270 --> 01:25.330 Can't quite take care. 01:25.330 --> 01:33.250 So they take her etext now can we actually take on D5 you might think. 01:34.780 --> 01:35.260 Well. 01:37.480 --> 01:42.910 Maybe they can, because, you know, what am I to the night pens the queen, right? 01:44.560 --> 01:50.140 This is where sometimes looking a little bit further ahead in chess gives you a bigger truth. 01:50.530 --> 01:55.570 And even, you know, the powerful chess engines and losing games, you sometimes you need to give them 01:55.570 --> 01:58.170 more time for them to establish a bigger truth. 01:58.660 --> 02:02.530 Sometimes they will even label even challengers will label movies as mistakes. 02:02.980 --> 02:04.330 And they're actually brilliant moves. 02:04.750 --> 02:06.630 So depth of calculation. 02:07.690 --> 02:10.390 You don't want to have this kind of horizon. 02:10.390 --> 02:12.210 The facts raise an issue. 02:12.760 --> 02:14.320 So sometimes you need to look further. 02:14.320 --> 02:18.130 Can we actually take care what you think Black could play? 02:18.130 --> 02:23.080 If Knight takes the five, can you work it out if I give you five cents for the video? 02:26.590 --> 02:29.750 OK, OK, this is setting the trap. 02:29.770 --> 02:36.790 It's actually a trap it takes now you can actually take, believe it or not, offering your queen up. 02:38.200 --> 02:40.240 This doesn't seem like a fair trade, does it? 02:40.510 --> 02:41.620 Queen's worth knowing. 02:42.610 --> 02:44.020 You've just taken free. 02:44.170 --> 02:49.650 Your mind is sinks, however, chacal checks, captures and friends of mine. 02:49.660 --> 02:51.150 One and two, one or two. 02:51.160 --> 02:57.280 You know, you want to check those forcing moves and they enable you to get the bigger truth about positions. 02:57.730 --> 03:00.040 The bigger truth here is that there's this check here. 03:00.340 --> 03:02.260 And what can we do about this check? 03:02.710 --> 03:07.720 They end up in an absolute pen now of absolute pens. 03:09.280 --> 03:13.140 You can either exploit them immediately or you can celebrate them. 03:13.150 --> 03:15.370 In fact, there's two very, very strong moves. 03:16.960 --> 03:21.480 And one is fractionally better than the other, and that's actually celebrating the pen on this occasion, 03:22.060 --> 03:24.000 sometimes it might be the other way round. 03:24.010 --> 03:26.160 You don't have to even take the queen immediately. 03:26.620 --> 03:27.700 So there are two key moves. 03:27.700 --> 03:29.080 You can take the queen immediately. 03:29.380 --> 03:35.530 And if we look at the material situation, we essentially going where a piece up. 03:37.750 --> 03:44.710 For a --, so we're actually winning now on material and you could have also just celebrated the pen 03:44.710 --> 03:49.510 because actually the law is protecting the bishop, that penpals is not going anywhere and nothing's 03:49.510 --> 03:50.320 coming in the way. 03:50.980 --> 03:54.940 So you can actually even play King takes the eight, which is fractionally stronger in theory. 03:56.140 --> 03:57.790 And that's kind of celebrating the pen. 03:58.600 --> 04:04.120 And during your games, you'll notice this division actually between a major exploitation event and 04:04.120 --> 04:09.400 celebrating and sometimes celebrating is doing much, much more for you. 04:09.940 --> 04:11.770 But I have both of these possibilities. 04:11.920 --> 04:12.580 Leave black. 04:12.640 --> 04:18.010 Absolutely winning, you know, of takes, you know, which is the piece up of every year. 04:18.040 --> 04:22.240 We should take, though, at some point we can say here and we're pace up. 04:22.720 --> 04:24.990 So this is the so-called elephant trap. 04:25.690 --> 04:28.600 So I hope you remember this one by elephants. 04:28.630 --> 04:28.910 Yeah. 04:28.970 --> 04:30.130 Have a good memory for Trappes. 04:30.400 --> 04:31.390 The elephant trap. 04:32.710 --> 04:34.060 They're supposed to have a good memory, right? 04:35.800 --> 04:46.570 So no FCX Bishop G5 we play this sneaky might be D7, so we don't immediately rush to kind of unspin. 04:46.810 --> 04:51.130 We get our opponents excited about this relative pin. 04:52.720 --> 04:58.930 So yeah, on this occasion we're creating a temptation and it doesn't actually compromise our position. 04:59.440 --> 05:04.600 It's one of those traps which are kind of good in that you want those traps which don't actually damage 05:04.600 --> 05:05.200 your position. 05:05.770 --> 05:07.210 So that makes them more scalable. 05:07.390 --> 05:11.890 The stronger the opponents you get later, you're not going to be obliterated because you've got all 05:11.890 --> 05:14.500 these rather cheap, nasty traps. 05:14.770 --> 05:16.750 You want the good traps, so. 05:17.600 --> 05:20.490 If they a sensible move, you still got a decent position here. 05:20.840 --> 05:25.780 If they don't play like it takes, you still got a decent of the referee, you know, maybe, you know, 05:26.300 --> 05:31.460 seven now and your position is fine, or C six. 05:33.020 --> 05:39.050 But the elephant, if they fall into it, you just winning a piece, basically, you know, you're essentially 05:39.050 --> 05:40.310 going to be a piece of. 05:43.270 --> 05:49.750 OK, I hope that's like two birds with one stone, kind of two ideas that an opening track for you with 05:49.750 --> 05:52.330 the black pieces against the Queen's Gambit. 05:53.440 --> 06:00.410 And also how to use a relative pin as part of the lure of this trap. 06:00.940 --> 06:02.500 OK, and so much.
