WEBVTT 00:00.960 --> 00:08.800 Either in this election, we see the downsides of hanging pawns being kind of used by Bobby Fisher here. 00:09.180 --> 00:15.440 This is an iconic game from the iconic match of the century, 1972, Game six. 00:15.750 --> 00:20.340 This is all my favorite all time world championship games in general. 00:21.210 --> 00:22.200 Definitely in my top. 00:23.410 --> 00:29.210 Five or ten of top world championship games, we see Seaforth from Fisher. 00:29.230 --> 00:30.340 So already a shock. 00:30.340 --> 00:37.300 You know, he's Youzhny for player and he's showing great versatility that as he had been studying basically 00:37.300 --> 00:39.640 both the English and the four transpositions. 00:39.640 --> 00:44.260 So DeFore opening very have been keeping in touch with that. 00:45.970 --> 00:54.040 So expressing a kind of art of war principle like misstep in the Russian preparation for him that just 00:54.040 --> 00:58.130 expects them to play one A4 in this match. 00:58.780 --> 01:07.270 So, OK, we see more of six Seefried seven and we go into the total cooperation soon with B6. 01:07.600 --> 01:11.470 This gives rise to the so-called hanging --'s. 01:11.800 --> 01:14.190 So this is all pretty standard stuff so far. 01:15.130 --> 01:26.560 And now of the C five free rook's C eight B five a6 that Pawnees Penders not quite threatening eight 01:26.870 --> 01:38.200 pins eight we see in fact here instead sort of ASX Queen B seven was was actually a it's rather interesting 01:38.200 --> 01:40.990 move here as an alternative move. 01:41.770 --> 01:44.770 For example, it looks as a whole on the pawn. 01:44.770 --> 01:50.980 Being sacked by black actually does get a little bit of activity through this route of ASX. 01:52.420 --> 01:55.960 You know, black would be having sufficient compensation, it seems. 01:56.530 --> 01:58.300 But anyway, ASX was played. 01:58.720 --> 02:02.920 And of the details, BTX, we do have the classic hanging pawn situation. 02:03.670 --> 02:09.250 So these two pawns, black has potential prospects in theory with these Asian fouls. 02:09.250 --> 02:11.790 The activity, sorry, not that far. 02:12.100 --> 02:13.360 The adjacent foals. 02:14.560 --> 02:23.440 And also we have the outpost's also sometimes the actual liberationist aspects of the --'s are important. 02:23.950 --> 02:33.280 Why it needs to minimise the opponents counterplay sometimes free's these pawns lock them up to show 02:33.280 --> 02:34.210 their downsides. 02:35.860 --> 02:40.450 We see Fisher Castling, Rook seven and our Bishop E two. 02:41.920 --> 02:44.170 We see ninety seven now. 02:44.170 --> 02:45.640 Very, very interesting move indeed. 02:45.640 --> 02:49.390 Exploiting the penalty for exploiting that pin pawn there. 02:50.010 --> 02:51.850 And Fisher actually of the Queen. 02:51.850 --> 03:00.400 Efate gets a light square bishop without a counterpart by playing 1936. 03:00.430 --> 03:00.970 You won't think. 03:02.900 --> 03:08.400 Kings Crusher, you know, wasn't this about exploiting hanging pawns? 03:09.140 --> 03:10.260 What is this translation? 03:10.280 --> 03:11.300 This is the hanging pawns. 03:11.810 --> 03:12.760 This is a trio pawns. 03:12.770 --> 03:13.710 It's not your fault. 03:13.790 --> 03:14.350 The trio. 03:15.050 --> 03:15.770 What's going on here? 03:16.850 --> 03:24.440 Yes, it's a translation of advantages to exploit. 03:24.440 --> 03:26.740 Hangi pause, you might need to translate to something else. 03:26.750 --> 03:30.050 A trio you might need to exploit simply a bishop. 03:33.850 --> 03:34.850 Without accountable. 03:35.890 --> 03:41.830 So in this position, yes, to Bishop, without a counterpoint, you have to stamp of ethics and yes, 03:41.830 --> 03:42.670 good to the hanging. 03:43.960 --> 03:45.430 Welcome the trio of pawns. 03:46.600 --> 03:50.920 So, OK, you could say, well, the adjacent folds, they're active of like. 03:51.370 --> 03:53.800 Yes, it's not quite the same, though. 03:54.250 --> 03:56.250 There's something else going on in this position. 03:56.260 --> 04:03.250 As Bishop of accounts, Paul is accentuated with Fisher's next move, which kind of reduces Blancs counterplay 04:03.250 --> 04:03.850 in a way. 04:04.510 --> 04:07.270 Can you see what that move is if I give you five seconds? 04:07.270 --> 04:08.200 Hands pause Viniar. 04:11.880 --> 04:14.940 It tries to weaken Black's pool structure with a four. 04:16.840 --> 04:23.050 And so temporary pawn sacrifice, it's not accepted, Defoe's played pawns, become fixed a little bit 04:23.050 --> 04:24.110 more in the squares. 04:24.130 --> 04:25.490 So why wasn't it accepted? 04:26.080 --> 04:28.390 Well, it looks terrible from the outset. 04:29.710 --> 04:38.380 And we can show a good return on investment here after a move like Quiñones Free and then Bishop CIFOR 04:38.380 --> 04:41.710 targeting ESX and Plax, very, very passive here. 04:42.310 --> 04:48.250 Won't can actually play this position like this where there's FrontPoint is now very, very vulnerable 04:49.330 --> 04:56.950 and even Afri just dissolving that to leave black full of weaknesses, full of pawn islands, generally 04:56.950 --> 04:57.640 pawn islands. 04:57.920 --> 05:02.950 They put a strain on the pieces as pieces that are having to defend those pawns, other pawns. 05:03.550 --> 05:05.020 That's the thing about pawn islands. 05:06.580 --> 05:08.320 It's like there's a strain on the pieces. 05:08.680 --> 05:12.280 Look at the stress that results here of the queen. 05:12.280 --> 05:15.280 C7, for example, Czech queen, the eight. 05:15.470 --> 05:17.080 There's a lot of stress on the black position. 05:17.080 --> 05:20.200 If white eventually regains one of the pawns, it's of interest. 05:20.590 --> 05:22.450 Blacks pawns, they're still fragmented. 05:22.450 --> 05:25.300 Won't sits on the position with a nice advantage. 05:25.660 --> 05:33.220 So perhaps for these considerations, the Fawwaz played an official plays. 05:33.220 --> 05:40.090 Therefore, we see seven now locking down blacks position in the way the light is limited in squares 05:40.570 --> 05:44.470 we see Rokeby eight bishops see for the bishops nicely placed. 05:44.920 --> 05:47.620 So it seems the dynamism has been defused. 05:48.310 --> 05:54.160 The hanging pawns, which has been turned into a trio of pawns with to the polls on down squares, and 05:54.160 --> 05:58.840 that bishop just blockading, you know, in a lovely way on CIFOR. 05:59.200 --> 06:05.230 And in fact, Fisher uses this position to drum up an amazing attack now of the queen right on the other 06:05.230 --> 06:06.100 side of the board. 06:07.030 --> 06:08.440 So ESX been targeted. 06:08.440 --> 06:11.440 No time to take on B to that point. 06:11.460 --> 06:18.690 But instead of taking on BE2 concretely, Bishop takes ESX and we've got you know, Fiedler's all be 06:18.700 --> 06:26.500 happy about this poor mobility that we've just generated, for example, like this, as well as King 06:26.500 --> 06:27.640 safety issues. 06:27.670 --> 06:31.330 This is just better for wins big postpone the benefit. 06:31.330 --> 06:41.020 Wait, so if I played with CB frame a five an hour fishtails crack open, I passed it on to this past 06:41.020 --> 06:41.410 Eichhorn. 06:41.410 --> 06:50.800 Plus there's a foul pressure and I think seven rootsier one queen, the Aints queen defraying Brooky 06:50.800 --> 06:57.610 seven we see thankful baby son ESX. 06:57.610 --> 07:00.610 This vacates the five square for a nice central queen. 07:02.350 --> 07:10.720 So in this possession of the rook B.C. seven, the Queen goes to my central location and the king fills 07:10.720 --> 07:11.680 that x ray actually. 07:11.770 --> 07:13.270 So this pawn is pend. 07:14.380 --> 07:15.970 This is getting very dangerous. 07:16.810 --> 07:22.900 We see Queene eight, a full locking that queen science. 07:22.900 --> 07:26.440 So taking away any pawn breaks from black is a good idea generally. 07:27.010 --> 07:35.590 Queen the eight rook one after some waisting moves here before the time control Quiney eight to Afri 07:35.890 --> 07:40.840 Queen Yanes defraying Quiney eight Queene. 07:40.840 --> 07:43.800 For some whites he moves to achieve the time to move. 07:43.810 --> 07:46.450 Forty extra time will be given to both players. 07:46.870 --> 07:50.830 So we do see some whites he moves but now nice six and something happens. 07:50.830 --> 07:51.700 I see before move. 07:51.700 --> 07:52.660 Forty after of. 07:55.260 --> 07:58.650 Can you see what Fisher plays in this position, which is really quite crushing? 08:05.660 --> 08:12.950 OK, it's rooked takes sex and the dispositional exchange sacrifice, which fragments the pawns, so 08:12.950 --> 08:16.380 sometimes you need to look at the long term prospects of such an exciting sacrifice. 08:16.420 --> 08:19.460 Are you going to get one or two pawns and then maybe a little bit more after? 08:19.490 --> 08:23.690 Is there a general trend upwards when you play positional exchange sacrifice? 08:24.710 --> 08:29.180 It's very much based on the pawn structure and the pieces, how they're working together in harmony, 08:29.510 --> 08:35.840 and how there's an accumulation of advantages being evidenced in that upward trend, hopefully now here. 08:36.710 --> 08:41.360 So although the exchange down spawns Black's King safety, they've been shattered. 08:42.300 --> 08:46.820 King James, we see Bishop CIFOR Queen hate's. 08:46.820 --> 08:51.110 And now the final move is Queen efore and the game ended here. 08:51.800 --> 08:54.350 Fisher Fisher was actually applauded by Spassky. 08:54.350 --> 08:59.300 Spassky got up and applauded Fisher to Fisher's shock. 09:01.010 --> 09:05.810 I believe that moment Fischer was really convinced Spassky was a true gentleman of the game, which 09:05.810 --> 09:06.290 he is. 09:07.550 --> 09:08.750 He actually applauded. 09:08.750 --> 09:16.640 Fischer, can you imagine you got the whole Soviet chess rooting for you to try and stomp out Fisher 09:16.640 --> 09:18.230 to carry on the domination of chess? 09:18.230 --> 09:22.130 They've had multiple, you know, Russian world champions. 09:22.850 --> 09:28.880 But Spassky is brave enough to actually applaud Fischer for this artistic achievement. 09:28.880 --> 09:34.970 It's not just about the results as the art of this game, which makes it for me a very iconic and special 09:34.970 --> 09:35.390 game. 09:35.720 --> 09:40.400 In fact, sometimes it's not just to win, it's to create an artistic masterpiece. 09:41.330 --> 09:49.880 We see here Queen if coingate the crushing effects here is queene five four. 09:49.880 --> 09:51.080 I think a double check. 09:52.160 --> 09:59.960 And mate, how is Harry that if Queen GCM would have Achak and then Bishop the jack will win the Queen 09:59.990 --> 10:04.160 or checkmate preferably checkmate to win the game. 10:06.800 --> 10:13.670 If we look at this again instead of Queen James, if King Geets, then that's two pawns now for the 10:13.670 --> 10:14.240 exchange. 10:14.960 --> 10:19.220 So big uptrends, it justifies fully paying the exchange down. 10:19.550 --> 10:22.130 We've got a massive passport on six as well. 10:22.130 --> 10:25.280 Two connected passports, Major King safety issues. 10:25.280 --> 10:27.680 Yes, this is enough for any change down. 10:28.370 --> 10:32.300 If you know what is playing, it's just hopeless. 10:34.540 --> 10:37.850 There's a big France of quinsy, five and seven. 10:39.950 --> 10:41.720 It's just absolutely crushing. 10:41.870 --> 10:47.180 I mean, as an example here, we can play check and then she says if the rock interposes. 10:48.980 --> 10:55.870 Instead, we unleash the power of this bishop with his seven words, planting her stubble. 10:56.930 --> 10:58.460 So, yeah, it's a crushing game. 10:58.460 --> 11:02.710 Finish quintet for King Safety has just gone to zero delay for Black's king. 11:03.380 --> 11:10.300 So it's not like how many iconic demonstration of how to play against the hanging pawns. 11:10.700 --> 11:12.530 There are certain improvements for black. 11:12.530 --> 11:14.930 Black did play a little bit too passively. 11:16.250 --> 11:21.380 Usually when you want to play with a dynamic power structure like an isolated Queen's pawn or the dual 11:21.380 --> 11:25.650 version circle, hanging pawns is like a cheaper version of the ICE type. 11:25.790 --> 11:30.440 You want to kind of create dynamic peace play here. 11:30.440 --> 11:33.470 The dynamic piece play was all shot down by Fisher. 11:33.950 --> 11:36.680 The way that Black played it was a bit too passive. 11:37.110 --> 11:39.320 Now Fisher to play on both sides of the board. 11:40.190 --> 11:45.860 You know, it's like one of those orchestras where they all you know, it's been conducted very, very 11:45.860 --> 11:46.850 well by conductor. 11:46.850 --> 11:55.010 It's like it reminds me of the chess equivalent of, you know, a musical masterpiece, an orchestra, 11:56.090 --> 12:02.300 a work of art on both sides of the board, and how that the queen actually comes to the center here 12:03.140 --> 12:11.750 and they're not, you know, do anything much as soon as Clarke did bring them lights out, because 12:11.750 --> 12:14.120 there are there are threats emerging here. 12:15.860 --> 12:22.610 If didn't do anything, if I didn't play the lights out, then actually, you know, they're all kind 12:22.610 --> 12:23.720 of tactical frat's. 12:23.720 --> 12:30.530 You know, for example, CIFOR, you see white plays, hair, if you check all shack's even the outrageous 12:30.530 --> 12:34.730 ones, hopefully this battery, you're going to use that for a fact check. 12:35.150 --> 12:39.620 And taking taking care of a common square was created. 12:40.310 --> 12:44.720 Whenever you have a battery and bishop and queen look out for the catacombs square, thousands of auto 12:44.720 --> 12:45.380 generated. 12:46.070 --> 12:47.840 That's that's one of the beauties of batteries. 12:47.840 --> 12:48.020 Yeah. 12:48.020 --> 12:53.600 So this battery set up by Fisher is pretty lethal, you know, causing this lifesavings reaction. 12:54.170 --> 12:59.390 So, yeah, Black was in a very, very bad state to play a lot of things and allowing this very, very 12:59.390 --> 13:03.350 powerful, logical position to exchange sacrifice. 13:03.650 --> 13:06.170 So, yeah, the game ending health queen a four. 13:06.560 --> 13:15.050 So this is like on a game example, held up quite frequently in early learning texts about how to play 13:15.050 --> 13:16.310 against hanging pawns. 13:16.640 --> 13:21.410 But Fisher himself, you know, could play with hanging horns as well. 13:21.410 --> 13:27.280 And so their upside's it's all in the follow ups and in neutralizing the downsides. 13:27.290 --> 13:28.910 OK, that's much.
