00:00.960 --> 00:01.660
Hi there.

00:02.190 --> 00:07.080
In this lecture, we are playing one of the black pieces our opponent has just played, Bishop Desex,

00:07.740 --> 00:15.070
trying to exploit this Penns piece, the Knights Pins Against the rook.

00:16.050 --> 00:19.430
So it seems we're in big trouble here because hold on a sec.

00:20.760 --> 00:27.600
If we play Rook C8, then might take C4 and we're in bad shape here.

00:28.080 --> 00:29.430
Why has taken on seafoam?

00:29.430 --> 00:33.720
We can't pile on the pressure to kind of exploit the pin in reverse.

00:35.580 --> 00:42.180
So it seems as though in this position, you know, because they're playing meetings, CIFOR has taken

00:42.180 --> 00:42.750
a risk.

00:44.700 --> 00:53.520
If maybe if we had taken on C4, then actually we use the power of the pen piece, double the rocks,

00:54.330 --> 00:57.570
and we should be regaining the material in short order.

00:58.080 --> 01:02.100
We rotate C4, by the way, it's been played is with Bishop Desex.

01:02.460 --> 01:11.520
However, the opponent is trying to pin us on this occasion using that pin and we're sometimes trying

01:11.520 --> 01:13.890
to rely on the reverse pin as well.

01:14.250 --> 01:19.590
And the common feature is that there are a lot of pieces of lines on the seafoam.

01:20.820 --> 01:25.020
You'll notice also that the queen and Rook are aligned as well.

01:25.440 --> 01:27.480
So is this two way traffic or not?

01:27.480 --> 01:31.110
This situation can play a really clever move.

01:33.130 --> 01:40.960
Which exposes a skewer here, so black to play, if I give you five seconds, pause video, what would

01:40.960 --> 01:41.940
you play in this position?

01:42.880 --> 01:43.530
What do you think?

01:43.540 --> 01:46.320
Victor cautiously played against Boris Spassky.

01:46.330 --> 01:47.440
So blacks playing.

01:53.980 --> 02:08.080
OK, 1966, positively inviting Cuéntame C7, and you'll note here that the is actually protecting F7,

02:08.620 --> 02:10.500
but also the facilitates.

02:10.900 --> 02:11.950
I hope you can spot it.

02:12.370 --> 02:13.340
A key move here.

02:14.050 --> 02:20.210
So this kind of backfires on White Rook C8 So there's no queen takes f7 the knights holding up seven.

02:20.980 --> 02:22.090
This is a nice skewer.

02:22.090 --> 02:25.240
The more expensive queen being secured against the rock.

02:25.900 --> 02:26.770
Very nice skua.

02:27.580 --> 02:34.440
And from this position Boris Spassky gave up his queen and it's pretty bad position.

02:34.450 --> 02:38.780
In fact, the game didn't last too long after 1964 96.

02:39.580 --> 02:44.370
It was pretty convinced they're in a bad way here and resigned.

02:45.700 --> 02:51.430
So, yes, a very, very interesting situation which emerged during this game, this tactical moments

02:52.570 --> 02:54.850
of the Spassky questionable match in 2009.

02:55.570 --> 03:02.140
So where, of course, they kind of grabbed this pawn on CIFOR.

03:05.440 --> 03:10.140
There's a lot of alignment and pins and skewers going on as a result.

03:10.570 --> 03:16.510
So it's funny, 1964, we rely on the PIN to get a piece back.

03:17.020 --> 03:22.840
And this is kind of trying to make sure that the two can't be doubled here.

03:23.440 --> 03:28.570
But unfortunately, it just backfires to 1936 on this occasion.

03:29.380 --> 03:37.090
OK, I hope you got that one 966 sometimes just invite the opponent, see what they want, because if

03:37.090 --> 03:43.000
they're in alignment, neatly aligned pieces, that could be a little bit dicey, a little bit dodgy

03:43.000 --> 03:46.180
with risk incurred for securing.

03:47.290 --> 03:49.300
OK, that's too much.
