WEBVTT 00:01.170 --> 00:07.920 Hi there in this Lanzhou, I'm going to show you an amazing example of peace, harmony, Imtech, the 00:07.920 --> 00:12.640 management of bishops which bishops to exchange off within a support structure. 00:14.100 --> 00:19.580 So let's say this is Garry Kasparov against Michael Adams in 1988. 00:19.590 --> 00:26.570 It's a symbol, to be fair, Kasparov is one of the greatest chess players of all time. 00:26.940 --> 00:35.730 And this was only the you know, Adams was much younger than he is now and wasn't a super grandmaster 00:35.730 --> 00:36.330 at the time. 00:36.480 --> 00:40.050 But you could see he had a promising talent and positional fell. 00:40.560 --> 00:41.970 And we see that in this game. 00:42.330 --> 00:48.410 DeFore from 96, C, 46, 93. 00:48.430 --> 00:54.800 We see bishop before Czech, nobody to be six, every bishop B seven. 00:55.500 --> 00:59.670 Bishop Differe animes console's, white console's. 00:59.670 --> 01:01.470 And they'll be five, you might think. 01:01.470 --> 01:02.010 Hold on. 01:02.010 --> 01:02.730 King Squasher. 01:04.320 --> 01:06.750 The bishops essentially blocked in. 01:06.750 --> 01:08.880 Is that yes. 01:10.140 --> 01:12.060 A free seven. 01:12.060 --> 01:14.720 But Blank does control the Four-Square with this. 01:14.730 --> 01:21.380 It reinforces control of form before it's played like between seven and now C takes eight. 01:21.570 --> 01:28.260 So that Bishop definitely does seem as though it's kind of blocked in Bishop, but it helps control 01:28.800 --> 01:31.010 the light squares trade offs. 01:31.530 --> 01:41.730 Rokeby one A6 My 95 Bishop Desex and what goes into a kind of stone wall formation which is positionally 01:42.270 --> 01:47.310 potentially has an Achilles heel that it can sometimes run out of counterplay. 01:47.340 --> 01:51.870 If Black plays the cards right, we see him ninety-four. 01:52.560 --> 02:01.140 So one of the intentions is to leave White with a bad C1 bishop, which doesn't really fit in well with 02:01.150 --> 02:02.160 White's pawn structure. 02:02.580 --> 02:06.270 What has put more points, especially with effort on dance class. 02:06.960 --> 02:11.880 So all of these forms on dance class could inhibit and lock in the C1 Bishop. 02:12.390 --> 02:15.630 We see E for details. 02:15.630 --> 02:22.440 Another major that will perkier positionally blackheads access to the DFI square it's vacated and that 02:22.440 --> 02:26.310 can be used for a strategic exchange of pieces. 02:26.310 --> 02:36.480 We see 1967 quintet's No See for another clever move Bishop S7 Adams has in mind if he can exchange 02:36.480 --> 02:43.140 of Winesburg Bishop for his bishop, which is currently blocked in VI that D5 square. 02:43.410 --> 02:49.380 It will leave with a positioning, miserable position kind of lacking in counterplay. 02:50.340 --> 02:55.320 We see Bishop Neetu and Bishop D5 is played Rook C1. 02:57.300 --> 03:04.890 And week six, queen bee, free rook F.C. eight weeks, setsu, and this seems like a really beautiful 03:04.890 --> 03:13.520 conception, b5 not only is this bishop kind of miserable and White's the voice of dynamic, you know, 03:13.590 --> 03:19.620 potential, if you're playing the likes of Garry Kasparov, you really don't want him tearing or kings 03:19.620 --> 03:20.160 pieces. 03:20.520 --> 03:25.890 And this position seems a very, very far cry from that kind of thing we have. 03:25.890 --> 03:31.980 Bishop takes five states and black monks now a beautiful looking outpost's square. 03:34.580 --> 03:38.030 Most it doesn't really have a corresponding outpost square here. 03:38.750 --> 03:40.370 It's covered by this bishop. 03:41.990 --> 03:50.960 Whilst this picture does not cover CIFOR, so we see Rohtang C8 rotates the Roquet one, what is lacking 03:50.960 --> 03:53.050 in counterplay essentially her? 03:55.320 --> 04:05.510 If see one Roxxy fall, this would give black a small edge that is a protected spawn in the ocean but 04:05.520 --> 04:06.290 has a small edge. 04:06.690 --> 04:11.660 So we see a one and that lovely outpost square for his years. 04:12.180 --> 04:15.300 So this position is kind of positionally delightful. 04:15.300 --> 04:19.260 You'd be probably reassured even if you are playing to some extent, at least. 04:19.590 --> 04:19.980 At least. 04:19.980 --> 04:25.280 Hey, you know, there's a decent position to play with a 46. 04:25.500 --> 04:34.150 So not wanting to have backroad issues, making some after the king age freaking G seven, eight, eight, 04:34.240 --> 04:41.970 eight, six and eight for trying to tempt --'s to go forward potentially or later off the catch to 04:41.970 --> 04:42.660 Jeoffrey. 04:44.520 --> 04:47.760 We have to Quincy heads the rook, though, for the moment. 04:48.220 --> 04:49.890 OK, so now Quincy sings. 04:51.060 --> 04:56.310 So it's tempting to kick the bishop, but it wouldn't do any favors. 04:56.310 --> 04:57.990 It would just weaken that second rank. 04:58.470 --> 04:59.640 We see Queen Daewon. 05:01.750 --> 05:10.510 If Jeoffrey, as an example, in fact, the strongest, especially southern here, hitting before threatening 05:10.510 --> 05:18.190 Rocsi to if takes 67, the point is, Rosita and why it's kind of fatally weak here. 05:18.850 --> 05:21.510 So Black will be getting Bishop back with huge interest. 05:21.520 --> 05:25.930 Look at every so that bishop is left alone. 05:25.930 --> 05:35.700 On page four, we have Quinlivan Roxxy to announce the infiltration move for the bishop back, actually. 05:35.860 --> 05:43.570 So not wanting to change the bishops also, you know, might potentially give some counterplay to why 05:44.650 --> 05:47.260 we want this bishop to be a prisoner in the -- chain. 05:47.620 --> 05:54.670 We don't want to relieve whites of its queen, the one the queen comes back just to protect that kind 05:54.670 --> 05:55.420 of prisoner. 05:56.300 --> 06:05.420 Limited in scope, Rokeby, too, see see one now Quincy for so the infiltration of the black pieces 06:05.420 --> 06:06.360 is remarkable. 06:07.130 --> 06:14.300 We see Queen Jiefu and now a square which is out of White's reach essentially is use Queen AF1. 06:15.220 --> 06:16.620 It's a nasty invasion. 06:16.630 --> 06:18.500 Here we see R5. 06:18.710 --> 06:22.700 Adams just closes up things with J5 King. 06:22.710 --> 06:26.600 Safety is shown not to be a major issue, except only for white. 06:26.600 --> 06:29.220 You know, H5 Queen takes Queen to chat. 06:29.240 --> 06:38.840 Might we see Queen Jeoffrey if rugby sevens the example age five and if Queen Jeoffrey Rook E to this 06:38.840 --> 06:41.930 situation gets fairly unpleasant. 06:42.350 --> 06:50.600 For example, hair is really unpleasant after rook jeoffrey that's just crushing the GTA five queen 06:50.600 --> 06:51.530 takes you to mind. 06:52.130 --> 07:02.570 So we see Queen Jeoffrey H5 Bishop Seefried and actually the game ended after Roxxy two, so Adams hasn't 07:02.570 --> 07:06.320 even one single Pugna and yet the game is totally lost. 07:07.100 --> 07:14.720 Kasparov has been tied in knots absolutely without any counterplay or active possibility's on Bishop 07:14.720 --> 07:18.830 A1, then just Rook C1. 07:18.830 --> 07:25.010 And how does one actually the fans, the king, for example, basically took continue on is checkmate 07:25.490 --> 07:27.140 so crushing positional game. 07:28.430 --> 07:32.510 Yes, I'm really unfair to pick a simple game, but for me at the time it was very, very dramatic. 07:33.080 --> 07:35.170 Adams was only a junior prom king junior. 07:35.180 --> 07:39.980 So it shows that even if you're a promising junior and you're playing against one of the strongest possible 07:39.980 --> 07:45.890 time, sometimes you can just play a positional game, maximize your harmony between your pieces and 07:45.890 --> 07:52.730 pawns, and minimize the opponent's harmony and just don't give the civil player a chance in this case. 07:52.730 --> 07:58.700 Kasparov Yeah, it seems as though as far as COUNTERPLAY was extremely minimized, especially by that 07:58.700 --> 08:05.600 strategic vision exchange earlier on Bishop D5 This is really a glorious. 08:06.840 --> 08:12.640 Harmony type move to make sure you're saying, look within a given pool structure. 08:12.660 --> 08:13.920 I want certain pieces. 08:16.050 --> 08:18.170 Versus the opponent in that Putin's Russia. 08:19.170 --> 08:25.830 So you want to leave sometimes the opponent with a bad bishop and minimize their counterplay and try 08:25.830 --> 08:31.980 and make infiltrations into that position gradually knowing that your king is a bit safer than usual, 08:31.980 --> 08:32.520 perhaps. 08:33.270 --> 08:39.490 So I thought this was an instructive game example of how many things to do or not do. 08:39.930 --> 08:41.780 OK, thanks so much.
