WEBVTT 00:01.020 --> 00:05.910 Hi there, and shall we say an amazing example of playing against the bank with. 00:06.630 --> 00:15.590 This is Russell Simmons of one of the former world champions of chess played in 1945 in the USSR championship. 00:16.680 --> 00:18.650 This is against rudovsky. 00:19.260 --> 00:22.550 So let's see this game, four man's love. 00:23.610 --> 00:33.150 We see a Sicilian defense might have ESX Difford see tax night takes the form of six Nazi free desex. 00:33.660 --> 00:36.390 So for the moment, Blank has a shape in England. 00:36.660 --> 00:37.460 Putin's Russia. 00:38.310 --> 00:42.990 This is a Sicilian Chauvelin generation where you get this pawn structure. 00:43.530 --> 00:45.090 We see Bishop Itou Bishop. 00:45.090 --> 00:46.620 He's on both sides. 00:46.620 --> 00:51.740 Castle Bishop every free Nazi sex and not efore. 00:52.920 --> 00:56.130 We see Queen seven and now Queen is one. 00:56.850 --> 01:05.040 So the FAA does facilitate the Queen seemingly with aggressive intent on the style of sometimes 1964 01:05.190 --> 01:08.340 is played Bishop 64 and now Black plays E5. 01:08.340 --> 01:09.990 This leaves a backward pawn. 01:10.710 --> 01:12.060 The pawn has been left behind. 01:12.060 --> 01:14.310 It can only be supported by pieces. 01:14.880 --> 01:17.880 This is the thing about structural weaknesses. 01:18.480 --> 01:25.110 When they have a dependency on pieces, that means the opponent's position can become overworks as pieces 01:25.110 --> 01:25.950 get exchanged off. 01:25.950 --> 01:31.800 This could also become weaker in its own right as its defenders are taken off the board. 01:32.310 --> 01:34.920 So it can be a potential major liability. 01:34.920 --> 01:35.910 This desex pawn. 01:36.810 --> 01:39.210 We see Bishop Avery Bishop ESX. 01:41.180 --> 01:47.790 EF five and now Black plays Bishop CIFOR and the way this stands by a massive positional favor, if 01:47.790 --> 01:52.740 we can get a nice outpost on DFI, that would be ideal here. 01:53.220 --> 01:57.060 And to achieve that, getting rid of the lions by bishops is something logical. 01:57.090 --> 02:01.260 So the outpost is not addressable with a bishop. 02:01.260 --> 02:03.630 ESX Bishop takes the five days for a bishop. 02:03.630 --> 02:05.030 See sex bishop takes the five. 02:05.040 --> 02:08.010 They're just getting rid of the square. 02:08.010 --> 02:12.480 Bishops means a potential outpost on the five will be unassailable. 02:12.480 --> 02:20.460 And hear why it plays a move focused on this square in front of the backward pawn to create a nice outpost. 02:21.000 --> 02:21.450 Guess what? 02:21.480 --> 02:22.020 That move. 02:22.020 --> 02:24.450 As if I give you five seconds to pause video. 02:27.170 --> 02:33.890 This is classic stuff, Bishop G five White doesn't mind giving up the dance choir bishop to amplify 02:33.890 --> 02:40.400 the outpost, Brooke, having AIDS and without prompting just takes on F sex. 02:41.460 --> 02:43.930 OK, Black has that bishop without a counterpart. 02:43.950 --> 02:53.150 But in this structure, with the backward -- and with this huge outpost, this bishop seems, you 02:53.150 --> 02:54.350 know, not very effective. 02:56.510 --> 03:01.400 We see Bishop, the AIDS in black is greedy with queen taketo whites best. 03:01.400 --> 03:05.060 This first to carefully play a move like rock have to to avoid losing Beita. 03:05.660 --> 03:13.850 And then after C one, when an exchange like this and this position where White can build on Cifas concretely 03:13.850 --> 03:18.800 is an advantage when it has to be careful not to lose too many pawns for the exchange. 03:19.550 --> 03:22.010 But this would be an advantage for white, this position. 03:22.490 --> 03:25.100 So anyway, the point is not taken on Setsu. 03:25.100 --> 03:31.370 We see Bishop the eight and they'll see free protects that pawn being five. 03:31.800 --> 03:38.240 So there's a kind of minority attack when a minority of pawns tries to cause structural damage to majority 03:38.240 --> 03:38.990 of pawns. 03:38.990 --> 03:40.300 That's a minority attack. 03:41.240 --> 03:42.350 Is it effective here? 03:42.350 --> 03:44.210 Will be Frase played Quincy five. 03:44.210 --> 03:47.480 Check each one rook C8. 03:47.480 --> 03:55.550 The knight puts any such attack on hold it controls before we see McCaffrey and in fact why it has aggressive 03:55.550 --> 03:56.420 intent. 03:56.420 --> 03:57.980 It seems there are moves. 03:57.980 --> 03:58.820 They have sex. 03:58.970 --> 04:05.870 There are moves that were cage free queen Jeoffrey maybe later or the queen coming up to support on 04:05.870 --> 04:07.850 each one just by forcing the bishop, basically. 04:10.200 --> 04:19.530 So we see how King age eight as an example of Black's difficulties, if things this doesn't good in 04:19.530 --> 04:23.780 principle to shut down the bishop like that, just to stop things. 04:24.300 --> 04:28.890 But for example, age frame, you know why the white queen comes of age for now as well. 04:29.850 --> 04:32.120 And this kind of thing is just really unpleasant. 04:32.130 --> 04:39.810 For example, like this with Brooke takes G7 becoming possible because there's a meltdown of King's 04:39.810 --> 04:44.510 safety here after age four to secure the back row act. 04:44.760 --> 04:49.770 You know, put oneself beyond the feet before going on the attack with our friend Jeffrey. 04:50.490 --> 04:51.310 If Rook J. 04:51.400 --> 04:53.910 And then there's Queen at six and that's chameides. 04:54.750 --> 04:56.880 And this situation is unpalatable. 04:57.720 --> 05:00.660 Queen St. Paul is reopening the queen. 05:01.140 --> 05:04.380 It's hopeless for black with Rook Jeoffrey coming. 05:07.500 --> 05:12.210 And you know, there's a yeah, it's just it's just a hopeless position. 05:12.210 --> 05:14.400 You know, for example, Carl puts me on the board. 05:14.910 --> 05:15.690 RUGGIE Free. 05:15.730 --> 05:16.890 How do we defend the mate? 05:17.640 --> 05:18.750 As desperate as that. 05:19.230 --> 05:23.480 And for example, here in Queens, I find it's another example. 05:23.880 --> 05:30.720 So anyway, all in all, King H.H. was chosen not for sex, but now it does, of course, that I wanted 05:30.720 --> 05:31.860 to play safe sex. 05:33.810 --> 05:42.750 And this is a very disruptive move to blacks defensive resources giving black double pulls. 05:42.750 --> 05:44.010 That as well as the back report. 05:44.010 --> 05:50.820 Now, does this have concrete implications for King's safety? 05:53.130 --> 05:54.510 We see Queen H for. 05:57.300 --> 06:06.930 Ruchi, eight, nine, six, so frightening, Queensland's 87 might that's protected 87 square, but 06:06.930 --> 06:12.370 Uruk Jeoffrey and actually, if you look at the tactical franscell, what is quite frightening, say 06:12.390 --> 06:13.210 eight five was played. 06:13.230 --> 06:15.760 Can you see what one is threatening? 06:15.820 --> 06:19.230 There's a cute idea here behind the scenes. 06:21.880 --> 06:28.120 If you check who checks prioritize the most, I hope you can spot that there's a queen size H7 in this 06:28.120 --> 06:30.250 position will rotate actually. 06:30.880 --> 06:36.940 So Black actually gave up the bishop to count that night to the rookies. 06:36.940 --> 06:41.910 Penn's rook goes to the gate and then we see a property of the back of pawn. 06:43.150 --> 06:45.460 It's only the queen supporting that backward pawn. 06:47.020 --> 06:56.110 So as pieces have been exchanged off this banquet with which has no support from fellow pawns, is feeling 06:56.110 --> 06:56.680 the pressure. 06:59.080 --> 07:06.700 And blacks already locked up here with this nasty pen, blacks really tied up in knots, black ties 07:06.700 --> 07:09.670 D5 it's a hopeless position. 07:10.300 --> 07:17.470 If Quincy seven, then, you know, Rook takes desex and here white displays plays. 07:17.650 --> 07:22.920 Take G7 that I wrote the check and the queen will have to give himself up the road. 07:22.930 --> 07:23.680 Can't go back. 07:25.400 --> 07:36.650 So we see D5 and now Rokitansky seven, it's a similar story, it's devastation of the Route 25 hitting 07:36.650 --> 07:41.290 the queen and also there's a killer common scar on the eight to be used. 07:41.290 --> 07:42.590 So Black resigned her. 07:45.420 --> 07:45.840 Yeah. 07:46.810 --> 07:52.440 If you know, Quincy, someone wrote the check is very strong, black will have to give up the queen. 07:52.450 --> 07:53.650 It's just a hopeless position. 07:54.320 --> 07:57.430 Maybe one can even go back and say, at this point, it's hopeless. 07:59.990 --> 08:06.830 So, yes, we see in this game a kind of celebration of the Outpost Square in particular of the backward 08:06.840 --> 08:15.320 poem that was created in the middle game, the Outpost Square, amplified by weight, not minding sacking 08:15.320 --> 08:16.040 Setu. 08:16.670 --> 08:20.630 There's tactics which support this one can actually just win an exchange. 08:21.040 --> 08:23.060 And the relations with Queens seem to. 08:23.600 --> 08:29.690 But otherwise, the outpost left on the board as the dominant knight entrenched in front of the back 08:29.690 --> 08:31.180 would pull the back. 08:31.190 --> 08:32.380 Whipworm provides shelter. 08:32.390 --> 08:40.400 It means that the outpost is more unassailable if we look at the quality of outposts and how unassailable 08:40.400 --> 08:40.970 they are. 08:41.870 --> 08:46.820 Some outposts because of the absence of the of membership's that cannot be taken off very easily. 08:47.180 --> 08:49.220 Accept foreign exchange sack maybe. 08:49.220 --> 08:50.630 But this takes a lot of time. 08:51.260 --> 08:51.980 And for what? 08:51.980 --> 09:01.160 Just to be the exchange down so that my outpost is like an octopus here, spreading its tentacles in 09:01.160 --> 09:05.720 all directions and looking off the way, you know, minority attacks. 09:05.780 --> 09:06.530 No problem. 09:08.030 --> 09:10.640 You know, like controls before attacks on the king. 09:10.640 --> 09:11.390 No problem. 09:11.630 --> 09:15.380 You know, it sort things out this night. 09:15.980 --> 09:18.080 It sort things out and remove the arrow 09:21.110 --> 09:23.360 and provides the fence, avoids attack. 09:23.360 --> 09:25.070 It's in front of the back of a pawn. 09:25.070 --> 09:32.690 It's an ideal thing to aim for, you know, nice night outposts quite often in front of structural weaknesses, 09:32.960 --> 09:37.370 especially central bank with poor means, essential night. 09:37.790 --> 09:44.020 If it was a backward ball here and it's not as significant, it's an octopus in the center and it's 09:44.030 --> 09:46.610 in front of a central bank with --. 09:47.510 --> 09:54.800 So I hope there's some key features of this game to take away some takeaway points that actually quite 09:54.800 --> 09:55.310 often. 09:56.410 --> 10:02.340 The acts of exploiting the opponents back with Paul is not the act of eliminating, it sometimes seems, 10:02.350 --> 10:08.880 which is stop phrase restrained blockade, destroy is not quite the reality of the situation. 10:09.610 --> 10:11.740 You might want to restrain the blockade. 10:12.840 --> 10:18.900 But no interest in destroying you've got a nice outpost really depends on the situation followups nice 10:18.900 --> 10:25.170 outpost's gives you great leverage to amplify your attacking potential to make it much more difficult 10:25.170 --> 10:25.860 for the opponent. 10:27.060 --> 10:33.840 It was only later that actually when that night's exchange off, then we have a frontal attack against 10:33.960 --> 10:34.900 the backward form. 10:36.000 --> 10:44.190 I hope you get the important points here that once the outpost was exchanged off, then the frontal 10:44.190 --> 10:50.220 attack against these things is extremely evident and it's extremely evident there's a total lack of 10:50.220 --> 10:51.270 available support. 10:51.900 --> 10:58.620 Just from a theoretical perspective, there's nothing black could have done here to avoid white crashing 10:58.620 --> 11:00.840 through that defo. 11:02.930 --> 11:10.700 The whole default is kind of vulnerable now because that bank report is not an effective barrier, so 11:10.790 --> 11:12.050 a crushing positional gain. 11:12.620 --> 11:15.470 One of Smith's law's most destructive games, perhaps. 11:16.040 --> 11:17.600 OK, not so much.
