WEBVTT 00:01.140 --> 00:01.900 Hi there. 00:01.920 --> 00:07.290 In this lecture, we see Susan Leach against Michael Adams. 00:07.290 --> 00:11.730 In 1992, the 16 Lloyds Bank Masters open round three. 00:11.730 --> 00:18.060 So we see e4d6 from Adams, d4956, nine C free. 00:18.060 --> 00:21.360 And now Adams doesn't play the usual perience with G six. 00:21.630 --> 00:28.680 He keeps options open and in fact opens up new options literally like win a five which can be annoying 00:28.770 --> 00:36.930 for practicing nine takes E4 for that night's pinned we see our four Queen, a five Bishop de fray and 00:36.930 --> 00:38.250 now E five. 00:39.030 --> 00:46.170 So this is very energetic play and sometimes the bishop can actually be liberated on this diagonal if 00:46.170 --> 00:47.040 y it's not careful. 00:47.040 --> 00:54.690 Not every is played Bishop G four and it's kind of kind of teasing this next move after it's E five, 00:54.780 --> 01:01.330 which does actually open up this fake bishop and Black's getting close to, you know, equalizing of 01:01.330 --> 01:05.300 the advertise e five if instead Bishop e free. 01:05.310 --> 01:12.660 This is really quite a funny situation where white can be tested with E takes F four because it looks 01:12.660 --> 01:16.560 as though hold on Queen B six is super annoying, right? 01:16.830 --> 01:20.670 With pressure on D four and B two. 01:22.360 --> 01:24.930 You know, and the thing is why it can actually play here. 01:24.940 --> 01:32.410 Queen E, too, but needs to know this because now Black's options are bad, but White has to be extremely 01:32.410 --> 01:34.120 resourceful on Queen. 01:34.150 --> 01:41.050 Thanks be to guess what the key move is for White to avoid losing material, which is actually a rather 01:41.050 --> 01:42.090 decent move. 01:42.100 --> 01:45.730 Overall, it looks strange, but White has King D to. 01:47.590 --> 01:47.930 Yeah. 01:47.950 --> 01:49.090 Why does council's then? 01:49.180 --> 01:50.470 I can just take C free. 01:50.710 --> 01:52.330 So King D too though. 01:52.330 --> 01:54.430 And black is in trouble here. 01:54.580 --> 01:57.820 So say Quint a free rook v one. 01:58.480 --> 01:59.500 B six. 02:01.020 --> 02:01.260 H. 02:01.260 --> 02:09.750 Ray Bishop takes a free queen takes her free and so black tries to castle E five and all of a sudden 02:10.650 --> 02:11.820 blacks in big trouble. 02:11.820 --> 02:12.410 Details. 02:12.420 --> 02:21.150 Bishop takes E five and here it looks like pretty nasty stuff is happening. 02:22.410 --> 02:23.490 So say. 02:24.000 --> 02:25.260 Queen a five. 02:25.290 --> 02:27.390 Pinning the C free night. 02:29.560 --> 02:33.610 White can play rook b5 here showing that B file. 02:34.980 --> 02:37.830 If see takes, then blacks getting annihilated. 02:37.830 --> 02:41.790 Bishop B takes on B5 first and then take you on a H. 02:41.820 --> 02:46.410 This is just great fun for white and if not fd7. 02:46.410 --> 02:48.570 Just taking on D seven actually is really strong. 02:48.570 --> 02:50.420 This is really strong for white. 02:50.430 --> 02:58.020 So basically black gets in big trouble in these lines where B2 is taken. 02:58.020 --> 03:02.010 But yeah, there's cute, cute stuff going on with King D too here. 03:02.580 --> 03:04.260 And you might wonder, Hold on, hold on. 03:04.260 --> 03:06.960 What about instead of Queen STS B2? 03:07.830 --> 03:11.130 Isn't there another way of playing this position? 03:14.490 --> 03:14.970 It's. 03:15.330 --> 03:18.180 It's a bit tricky, really, if Bishop takes. 03:19.660 --> 03:23.740 They're free to try and win the fall. 03:24.610 --> 03:25.960 G Text is good. 03:26.440 --> 03:28.030 Queen takes the Fall. 03:29.280 --> 03:33.720 Microcosm of Queensland and has a big initiative for the poor and the kings in the centre. 03:33.750 --> 03:41.190 It's very dangerous for for black indeed, but yeah, it requires some accuracy to withstand the tickling 03:41.190 --> 03:47.430 moves he takes on Queen bee sex, but after it's displayed it opens up this bishop and there's another 03:47.430 --> 03:48.930 aspect to this position. 03:49.110 --> 03:55.260 It also kind of opens up this default pressure and we see this made use of her bishop. 03:55.290 --> 03:58.890 If there's yet another inaccuracy in black's actually slightly better now. 03:59.580 --> 04:04.170 Detail was needed so night beat is seven 2957 Bishop. 04:04.320 --> 04:09.210 For this position let's say a six White Castle thing. 04:09.540 --> 04:11.160 Let's say black councils. 04:11.910 --> 04:16.020 Each free bishop takes her free queen takes her free. 04:17.670 --> 04:20.110 And there are problems here for black. 04:20.130 --> 04:25.050 If Knight takes five white can force matters with bishop, takes five, queen takes five, and they'll 04:25.050 --> 04:26.160 take on a six. 04:26.520 --> 04:30.960 This position Queen G for Shaq and Rook and five. 04:30.960 --> 04:32.070 It's better for white. 04:34.210 --> 04:39.730 Okay, so, Bishop, if Ray's inaccuracy and all of a sudden now might be these seven blacks really 04:39.730 --> 04:44.140 doing well black also had e takes D for this position is also nice. 04:45.040 --> 04:52.450 And the thing is, after white castles on the king side, e takes the fall. 04:52.870 --> 04:56.060 So why it's getting weakened on those dark squares and our bishop. 04:56.080 --> 05:00.730 C five strategic Bishop exchange weakening white further on the light squares. 05:00.730 --> 05:02.050 We have 92. 05:02.800 --> 05:05.500 Bishop Take the four check and E takes the four. 05:05.500 --> 05:06.370 And now castling. 05:06.370 --> 05:08.800 Queenside It's beautiful. 05:09.040 --> 05:10.060 Look at this. 05:10.060 --> 05:12.070 These possibilities are absolutely wonderful. 05:12.070 --> 05:14.770 On the default B four is played. 05:14.770 --> 05:16.480 This looks like a rather desperate move. 05:16.480 --> 05:26.950 But if a free for example, queen bees sex and it's just so awkward here this position it's just incredibly 05:26.950 --> 05:35.950 awkward if c3c5 it's end of game of the bishop takes out free 95 black has C four check and can even 05:36.610 --> 05:38.740 in the bishop can play rook takes D four. 05:38.830 --> 05:48.940 It's it's crushing stuff by this point so anyway B4 is tried Queen B for rook rugby one and now simplifying 05:48.940 --> 05:50.650 like Capablanca basically. 05:50.680 --> 05:55.990 Can you see how Adams simplifies into a winning end game and a capablanca? 05:59.230 --> 05:59.520 Okay. 05:59.530 --> 06:00.850 Queen sings the full check. 06:00.850 --> 06:01.090 Yeah. 06:01.120 --> 06:03.910 Getting the queen's off 95. 06:04.930 --> 06:05.190 Yeah. 06:05.200 --> 06:05.950 What is white doing here? 06:06.050 --> 06:07.330 95, G6. 06:07.330 --> 06:08.310 96. 06:08.680 --> 06:13.090 And now taking the time to exchange off the nights with this cute retreat while that night holds up 06:13.090 --> 06:13.660 seven. 06:13.930 --> 06:18.090 So 9857 was possible as well. 06:18.100 --> 06:20.770 I mean, the E five night holds F seven, but this is cute. 06:20.770 --> 06:22.690 Forcing more simplification. 06:23.290 --> 06:25.450 So rook takes rook be free. 06:25.450 --> 06:30.820 Rook d for rook bd one db 1b6. 06:31.420 --> 06:31.720 Why? 06:31.720 --> 06:33.450 It really hasn't got much to do here. 06:33.460 --> 06:43.450 Rook GD Ain't king E free King B seven rook free rook eight to D seven which makes six check. 06:43.600 --> 06:44.860 It looks a bit pointless. 06:44.860 --> 06:47.310 Bishop e two and now 9c4 check. 06:47.320 --> 06:49.240 And this is increasing the advantage. 06:49.540 --> 06:51.190 Bishop takes C for Rook. 06:51.190 --> 06:51.760 Take C four. 06:51.760 --> 06:57.310 So looking at C two, we have rook dd free trying to hail the pawn structure, hoping for rook takes 06:57.310 --> 06:57.910 and C takes. 06:57.910 --> 07:05.230 Perhaps, but just rookie seven And now two pawns are attacked E four and C two white resigned here 07:05.440 --> 07:06.360 it rook d4. 07:06.370 --> 07:09.280 Yeah, just taking out C two is huge. 07:09.460 --> 07:13.180 Or if King are free, we can just take an E for this rook. 07:13.270 --> 07:14.050 It's huge. 07:14.440 --> 07:17.030 It's easily winning Endgame for black. 07:17.050 --> 07:20.680 So yes, a bit of a Capablanca style simplification. 07:21.220 --> 07:24.730 So the Shaq Shaq opening or Shaq opening? 07:25.330 --> 07:31.420 So not quite the piazza with the fan Cato, but incredibly dangerous and annoying on the dark squares 07:31.420 --> 07:33.460 of the whites committed to F4. 07:33.730 --> 07:39.700 Black's resourcefulness here with five and kind of the strategic bishop exchange soon. 07:39.700 --> 07:40.780 This is wonderful stuff. 07:40.780 --> 07:45.830 Black's actually getting into the driving seat here with a big advantage out of the opening. 07:45.850 --> 07:47.020 Remarkable stuff. 07:47.020 --> 07:48.820 I hope you enjoyed this one as much as me. 07:49.720 --> 07:50.490 Wow. 07:50.860 --> 07:51.190 That's it. 07:51.190 --> 07:51.640 Much.
