Hi there.
In this lecture, we see Susan Leach against Michael Adams.
In 1992, the 16 Lloyds Bank Masters open round three.
So we see e4d6 from Adams, d4956, nine C free.
And now Adams doesn't play the usual perience with G six.
He keeps options open and in fact opens up new options literally like win a five which can be annoying
for practicing nine takes E4 for that night's pinned we see our four Queen, a five Bishop de fray and
now E five.
So this is very energetic play and sometimes the bishop can actually be liberated on this diagonal if
y it's not careful.
Not every is played Bishop G four and it's kind of kind of teasing this next move after it's E five,
which does actually open up this fake bishop and Black's getting close to, you know, equalizing of
the advertise e five if instead Bishop e free.
This is really quite a funny situation where white can be tested with E takes F four because it looks
as though hold on Queen B six is super annoying, right?
With pressure on D four and B two.
You know, and the thing is why it can actually play here.
Queen E, too, but needs to know this because now Black's options are bad, but White has to be extremely
resourceful on Queen.
Thanks be to guess what the key move is for White to avoid losing material, which is actually a rather
decent move.
Overall, it looks strange, but White has King D to.
Yeah.
Why does council's then?
I can just take C free.
So King D too though.
And black is in trouble here.
So say Quint a free rook v one.
B six.
H.
Ray Bishop takes a free queen takes her free and so black tries to castle E five and all of a sudden
blacks in big trouble.
Details.
Bishop takes E five and here it looks like pretty nasty stuff is happening.
So say.
Queen a five.
Pinning the C free night.
White can play rook b5 here showing that B file.
If see takes, then blacks getting annihilated.
Bishop B takes on B5 first and then take you on a H.
This is just great fun for white and if not fd7.
Just taking on D seven actually is really strong.
This is really strong for white.
So basically black gets in big trouble in these lines where B2 is taken.
But yeah, there's cute, cute stuff going on with King D too here.
And you might wonder, Hold on, hold on.
What about instead of Queen STS B2?
Isn't there another way of playing this position?
It's.
It's a bit tricky, really, if Bishop takes.
They're free to try and win the fall.
G Text is good.
Queen takes the Fall.
Microcosm of Queensland and has a big initiative for the poor and the kings in the centre.
It's very dangerous for for black indeed, but yeah, it requires some accuracy to withstand the tickling
moves he takes on Queen bee sex, but after it's displayed it opens up this bishop and there's another
aspect to this position.
It also kind of opens up this default pressure and we see this made use of her bishop.
If there's yet another inaccuracy in black's actually slightly better now.
Detail was needed so night beat is seven 2957 Bishop.
For this position let's say a six White Castle thing.
Let's say black councils.
Each free bishop takes her free queen takes her free.
And there are problems here for black.
If Knight takes five white can force matters with bishop, takes five, queen takes five, and they'll
take on a six.
This position Queen G for Shaq and Rook and five.
It's better for white.
Okay, so, Bishop, if Ray's inaccuracy and all of a sudden now might be these seven blacks really
doing well black also had e takes D for this position is also nice.
And the thing is, after white castles on the king side, e takes the fall.
So why it's getting weakened on those dark squares and our bishop.
C five strategic Bishop exchange weakening white further on the light squares.
We have 92.
Bishop Take the four check and E takes the four.
And now castling.
Queenside It's beautiful.
Look at this.
These possibilities are absolutely wonderful.
On the default B four is played.
This looks like a rather desperate move.
But if a free for example, queen bees sex and it's just so awkward here this position it's just incredibly
awkward if c3c5 it's end of game of the bishop takes out free 95 black has C four check and can even
in the bishop can play rook takes D four.
It's it's crushing stuff by this point so anyway B4 is tried Queen B for rook rugby one and now simplifying
like Capablanca basically.
Can you see how Adams simplifies into a winning end game and a capablanca?
Okay.
Queen sings the full check.
Yeah.
Getting the queen's off 95.
Yeah.
What is white doing here?
95, G6.
96.
And now taking the time to exchange off the nights with this cute retreat while that night holds up
seven.
So 9857 was possible as well.
I mean, the E five night holds F seven, but this is cute.
Forcing more simplification.
So rook takes rook be free.
Rook d for rook bd one db 1b6.
Why?
It really hasn't got much to do here.
Rook GD Ain't king E free King B seven rook free rook eight to D seven which makes six check.
It looks a bit pointless.
Bishop e two and now 9c4 check.
And this is increasing the advantage.
Bishop takes C for Rook.
Take C four.
So looking at C two, we have rook dd free trying to hail the pawn structure, hoping for rook takes
and C takes.
Perhaps, but just rookie seven And now two pawns are attacked E four and C two white resigned here
it rook d4.
Yeah, just taking out C two is huge.
Or if King are free, we can just take an E for this rook.
It's huge.
It's easily winning Endgame for black.
So yes, a bit of a Capablanca style simplification.
So the Shaq Shaq opening or Shaq opening?
So not quite the piazza with the fan Cato, but incredibly dangerous and annoying on the dark squares
of the whites committed to F4.
Black's resourcefulness here with five and kind of the strategic bishop exchange soon.
This is wonderful stuff.
Black's actually getting into the driving seat here with a big advantage out of the opening.
Remarkable stuff.
I hope you enjoyed this one as much as me.
Wow.
That's it.
Much.
