Hi there in episode four, Beth is playing the role of Bobby Fischer against Ben Johnson in a game that

00:10.440 --> 00:12.390
was actually played in 1958.

00:13.170 --> 00:22.260
So Fischer Lawson started 845 as a selling defense and it went into the Sicilian Dragon variation.

00:23.010 --> 00:33.510
So every G-7, every black household queen, the two nights he sex bishop, CIFOR, 1964, Bishop 64,

00:33.510 --> 00:40.590
Bishop ESX, the bishop dropped back queen a five White Castle Queen.

00:40.590 --> 00:47.970
Signe's as is quite common against the Sicilian Dragon pantalones and played b finally see King B one

00:47.970 --> 00:56.790
before 95 Bishop 265 Bishop to 65 rook ac eight.

00:57.600 --> 01:07.500
It seems here that 1965 would have actually equalized for black after Queen 65 Queen takes before rook

01:07.520 --> 01:07.950
FBI.

01:08.010 --> 01:16.740
This position is potentially about equal, but White does have a queen siple majority.

01:16.740 --> 01:24.190
Maybe overall, the prospects are slightly better in practice for White Oak Brook eight was played and

01:24.190 --> 01:25.920
the bishop is actually preserved.

01:26.370 --> 01:28.500
So we have this dangerous looking bishop.

01:28.860 --> 01:32.370
It's nice to have the bishop here if you can keep hold of them.

01:32.370 --> 01:43.860
So Roxxy seven H for Queen B five H five Rook FC ain't here if knight age five is being played bishop

01:43.860 --> 01:47.040
sixty seven is dangerous after G4 may have six.

01:47.520 --> 01:48.300
Queen eight six.

01:48.300 --> 01:50.250
Jack King G five.

01:50.250 --> 01:57.570
This is actually Fisher had some comments to make about Sicilian dragons like Sack Sack Mate was one

01:57.570 --> 01:58.500
of his quotations.

01:58.500 --> 02:03.480
And here in fact Sakey 185 is pretty dangerous for blacks.

02:03.480 --> 02:04.680
King safety for example.

02:04.680 --> 02:12.000
Like this, I get slaughtered so quite, quite wise in the actual game in nineteen fifty eight.

02:12.540 --> 02:13.500
Let's just do this.

02:13.890 --> 02:22.530
HHG is played, I mean HHG six, HHG six G four a five G five point eighty five.

02:22.530 --> 02:29.550
But still here, phisher did actually sack the exchange to rip open the lines and the special on Be

02:29.550 --> 02:32.280
Free is identified with that Penns Pournelle.

02:33.720 --> 02:35.970
So it's quite about accountable.

02:37.170 --> 02:44.970
If I was played by Ben Lawson, this does weaken the desex pawn we see G takes up seven.

02:44.970 --> 02:47.280
King finds me free.

02:47.290 --> 02:51.540
So why has significant compensation for been the exchange down?

02:53.100 --> 02:56.820
It's got the threat of Queen takes the sex check.

02:57.330 --> 03:01.370
We see the five in the actual game he takes.

03:01.410 --> 03:04.980
Rook takes up seven Desex opens up the bishop again.

03:05.730 --> 03:06.540
Rook have sex.

03:09.030 --> 03:18.600
Bishop G5 Queen Bee seven, and here in the actual in the Netflix series, they changed the actual game

03:18.600 --> 03:26.160
to show both playing D7, it's another winning move, the seven and then kind of transposes potentially

03:26.160 --> 03:26.670
like this.

03:27.660 --> 03:33.420
But in the actual game, Bishop takes off, sex was played, Bishop takes analogy's.

03:33.420 --> 03:39.150
And we transpose into the same position after Rook the eight queen desex Chac.

03:39.300 --> 03:41.790
And this is absolutely winning for the game.

03:42.270 --> 03:44.360
The real game this was based on ended here.

03:44.370 --> 03:47.730
So Fischer beat Longson in 31 moves here.

03:48.060 --> 03:52.410
If the game continues Sakine G7 then blacks.

03:52.410 --> 03:58.500
King safety is really shot to pieces of Jiwon Jack Queen of Sex.

03:59.160 --> 04:01.380
This situation is hopeless.

04:02.040 --> 04:06.600
You can see that the king is getting slaughtered here of the Queen 65.

04:06.600 --> 04:09.330
You know, be like Mai very shortly.

04:10.560 --> 04:14.190
So yeah, that was a very, very powerful game by Bobby Fischer.

04:15.000 --> 04:17.310
And Beth Holland seems to be an amalgam.

04:17.310 --> 04:22.410
Yeah, basically a fissure in other players based on all these example games.

04:22.830 --> 04:30.570
Know Capablanca Kasparov, you know, quite a lot of world chess champions, you know, are involved

04:30.570 --> 04:33.210
in some of our best games.

04:33.210 --> 04:40.200
So Baffour fictional character, but are able to play as strongly as Bobby Fischer and others.

04:41.070 --> 04:47.220
So, yeah, this was really a crushing exchange sacrifice from earlier on.

04:47.550 --> 04:50.400
You know, blacks already in big trouble here by this time.

04:51.000 --> 04:54.090
So, yeah, this was actually the game continuation.

04:54.340 --> 04:57.900
I arrive at this crushing position when these things, Jack.

05:01.350 --> 05:01.950
So.

05:03.290 --> 05:09.170
Yep, I mean, you got something from that, some interesting points about the Sicilian Dragon for me,

05:09.170 --> 05:14.150
I wouldn't necessarily play the same dragon unless I knew tons of opening fairy.

05:14.150 --> 05:18.040
It's one of those openings which can be a bit risky on the whole.

05:18.620 --> 05:20.690
So it's something is one of those flavors.

05:21.260 --> 05:26.930
And I tried to veer away from as much as possible possible with the black pieces I just played, rather

05:26.940 --> 05:30.100
the spectacle of myself by hair.

05:30.110 --> 05:30.410
Yeah.

05:30.410 --> 05:35.420
Fisher did actually have a fantastic record slaying the Sicilian Dragons.

05:35.780 --> 05:37.550
OK, and so much.
