Hi there.
In this lecture, we see micro atoms against Simon.
Kim Williams is in the 2011 British Round seven.
So Simon Williams is also known as Ginger GM.
So E four and the Ginger Gene plays a Sicilian defense knight and free from Michael Adams.
We have 96 and our bishop be five.
This is a kind of anticipation of move.
If you play this Sicilian generally you're looking for why place D four and we get a sharp game here,
a sharp tactical game for example, here, E, five, 95, etc..
So this is also known as the limo system or the mass medicine of attack.
So we have D six.
Adams scores actually quite well with Bishop B five.
As you might suspect, it is more positional in nature than the sharp tactical Sicilian lines we see.
White Castling, Bishop de seven and our rookie one In fact once plan is very similar to royal appears
plan except Clarke has played this assassin in defense.
So 956c free to construct a nice pawn center a six The bishop tucks away back at F one Bishop G four
we have H three and now Black curiously played Bishop H five.
This might actually be an inaccuracy.
Giving up the light squared Bishop does mean that black has better grip sometimes on the dark squares
because that knight is defending dark square.
So this position, for example, Queen Geoffrey Black could play G six and White's advantage is minimized
here, whereas only a small edge.
But in the game with Bishop H five things are very interesting now after a forcing move g four which
ordinarily you might think is weakening.
But all these weaknesses exploitable.
There's a bishop hanging around here, so the bishop goes back and now this is a surprising tactical
positional move.
What would you play here for?
100 points.
Yeah, we can actually construct the sensor, believe it or not, with the form.
Now that took on D four, if nine takes E four, this is a trap.
Can you see what white place for ten points?
Yeah.
D5, It's a trap.
The night moves and then we have Rook takes E for Bishop C for Queen A for Czech, and we're picking
up material, so that's nice.
Picking up two pieces for a rook.
So C takes D4 is played, C takes the form and already it seems uneasy.
Black's possession.
We have D five if e sex white can push with D5.
This looks kind of dangerous after 94.
Looking at e six the Kingston Center if h five is example g59 takes e four might complete f four.
And let's say 97 D takes e six.
This doesn't write this position after 966.
Queen Bee six.
Check Bishop E three.
Queen Bee two.
The king is still in the center.
And white is just better off.
The Bishop d4.
This is very, very nice.
So, yes, very dangerous situation.
So we have d5e takes d59 times D five now nine C free, E six and now nine takes the five, Queen takes
D five and Bishop G two.
So this is quite vicious.
The Queen really can't leave the D five square here Rook is played.
Pardon me if Queen D then there's d five with the king in the center.
This looks like an embarrassing lack of development and king safety.
After D takes E six, we can actually cash out here with E, ten, seven and not mind the exchange of
queens.
This is just great for us.
So, okay, Rook D is played.
We have Bishop G five provoking weaknesses and there's a super annoying move coming up after F six.
Guess what that is?
400 points.
And kind of forces simplification with advantage here already.
So f6 Yeah we have a forcing move 95 So looking at the queen, we have queen sized evil and now Knights
C six Queen D one virtually forced Rook a 21.
Pair of rooks come off, be 26, and we're in a kind of simplified end game.
Now, you might want to hold on a second.
Hold on the sack.
There's a choice here.
What about taking the bishop?
So B tanks was played, but if taking the bishop rook, the eight Shaq can have 795 check.
And here.
If King of six we can actually find nine times g six each takes and not minds the opposite kind of bishops.
Now the rook can take on H because of F eight and Y is significantly better here.
The pawns are diabolical, actually.
Treble pawns.
Oh, dear.
It's the rowing team is out here today.
The rowing team in this position.
I just explain the rowing team.
This reminds me of the rowers on the rivers when they're there, rowing against each other.
These races.
Because you can imagine the pawns like rowing with the paddles like this.
And so, yes, I just want to explain that you might not that might be lost in translation.
So anyway so B takes is played Bishop take C six Czech king of seven.
And this is still unpleasant outcome from the opening white controlling key things having authority
relative authority.
In this position we have Bishop E seven and now this nasty pen wrote these seven.
We have Roxy eight, Bishop B seven, Roxy two.
Now the rook stands God of C five.
Otherwise Bishop C five could be painful.
And in fact, white plays, Bishop takes a six.
So there's a 2 to 0 pool majority on the Queen side.
We have Bishop E four if rook takes B two just to demonstrate.
Bishop C five What does black do?
Nasty pen.
It's just winning material, this position Just winning material.
So.
Bishop E four So why is now.
Yeah, it looks like a very unpleasant position.
A pawn down the blank.
We have Bishop B seven.
If yeah, this isn't a very accurate move to repel the bishop.
Very, very accurate if a afraid just to give an example of a move which isn't so optimal.
King eight will unpin And that means there's no bishop see five penalty.
So rook takes B to happens and it's even so against Bishop B seven we have the bishop going back to
G six.
If Bishop takes B seven, rook takes.
This is just great for white.
If King ain't, we're actually just going to play.
Bishop takes e four eggs.
We're hitting the rook.
Doesn't matter about D seven.
Okay, so Bishop G six Bishop and three another.
I mean, there's other moves here now.
A four was also strong.
This position is also strong for white.
But Bishop and is nice.
We have King ain't.
And now Rugby seven.
Bishop dd six.
Bishop dd one.
C seven.
Yes.
This looks very unfortunate.
Bishop.
A full check.
Kiwi seven And now Bishop.
See?
Six.
So yes, Black is kind of contained here.
Very well.
Bishop C two, F three.
King the eight.
And now more simplification.
Bishop B six.
We have Bishop C five check tactic.
Very important here for black not to lose too much material.
Bishop take C five.
So opposite the bishops is their salvation in Black's position here.
Let's see, we have B four rook six rook takes G seven rook takes a two.
But now Bishop E seven check picks up another pawn.
So this is two pawns down now.
So King D thinks should be free Rook D eight check King C six and now Rook D3.
This is very nice.
Play holding a free holding things intact.
Bishop D five Rook C Free check.
King B five.
Bishop E seven.
Holding B four.
Rook d2h4.
So this poor majority over here is significant.
E five We have rookie free.
King.
See for Bishop, see five stops.
KING Before king is restricted.
It's like Capablanca trying to crush the opponents pieces and end game restrict the opponent's king
as far as possible, restrict the opponent's pieces.
H five King D five.
C Frame Bishop eight for Bishop F two.
Now, this kind of liberates the king potentially to use G two b2 brook C five check kingly six Bishop
G free looking at e five So rook be one check.
The king finally moves its allowance move route B to check moves back actually four moments some playing
around now King H free rookie two and now King H for the king is making progress.
Bishop c6i know F for safeguarding by moving e tanks.
Bishop takes F four, check King D seven and B five.
White is making progress on both sides of the board.
Rookie five Bishop free Now with this pair of rooks, this simplifies things.
B six King C six Black is kind of overloaded here.
Bishop E Free King d7g51 is absolutely willing.
Resigned here, moved 64.
If King C sinks G six breakthrough pass Pawn is winning.
So for example, H takes h six and black and tactically stop h seven with g five check.
But the white king just goes to g seven to win the bishop.
We're just going to win the bishop with h seven and then come back to Queen the pawn.
There's no problem queening that pawn.
So yes, the game ended at move 60 4g5.
So yeah very interesting game anti kind of tactical Sicilian keeping it very positional from the opening
and in this this game is a bit like me playing Paul George you know Paul George would torture me with
positional moves like Bishop B five and he will talk about chess psychology If you're playing a tactical
player, dynamic tactical player, you want to keep things positional to annoy them because their tactical
strengths won't be realized.
You want to keep their strengths bottled up, the tactical players.
So this is really, it seems, more suited for Michael Adams's repertoire, positional player.
And if we can take ideas from the Adams repertoire, yeah, with Bishop be fine.
It's just a very popular move in recent years in general as well.
It's just very simple plans, relatively simple compared to razor sharp Sicilian suppression of positions.
So I hope you enjoyed this, this kind of Roy Lopez in approach to the position, just building up a
classic center tactically justified here with four and there's all sorts of problems to string out the
opening.
So absolutely fascinating stuff.
So I hope you enjoyed this one.
Thanks very much.
