WEBVTT 00:01.190 --> 00:02.070 Hi there. 00:02.090 --> 00:06.260 And this is actually we see a very young Anatoly Karpov, 11 years old. 00:06.260 --> 00:09.580 This is played in 1962 Zlatan's tournament. 00:09.590 --> 00:12.350 He's playing against PC Genov. 00:12.380 --> 00:19.430 So E four from Karpov, we have six, we have E five, 95. 00:19.430 --> 00:28.220 So the Alekhine's defense here, C4 might be six d4 D six and Karpov goes for a modest small advantage 00:28.220 --> 00:31.880 rather than indulging in for example F four. 00:32.030 --> 00:35.480 There's a responsibility with this move. 00:35.480 --> 00:37.580 There are weaknesses in White's position. 00:37.670 --> 00:45.830 Instead, a more modest advantage can be attained with e tanks d6e takes D six and now there is a Shand 00:45.830 --> 00:46.830 foul here. 00:46.850 --> 00:48.800 Can this prove decisive? 00:48.830 --> 00:50.740 It's a two way street though. 00:50.750 --> 00:52.460 Can it actually prove decisive? 00:52.460 --> 00:53.450 Four somehow. 00:53.450 --> 00:56.780 Nine C free 96 We have a frame. 00:57.140 --> 00:59.540 Not strictly necessary, it seems. 00:59.540 --> 01:02.330 Maybe there's an attention tonight before. 01:02.360 --> 01:04.370 Maybe sometimes we're better at five. 01:04.370 --> 01:07.700 But, you know, for example, Bishop e three, Bishop a five. 01:07.700 --> 01:10.310 This position we can just play Rook C one. 01:10.310 --> 01:13.340 It's not such a big deal or this position. 01:13.340 --> 01:15.470 We can play three as well. 01:15.860 --> 01:20.450 And here H three preventing Bishop G four could be useful. 01:20.570 --> 01:29.750 It has a small edge here, but a very interesting bishop, a five and now Bishop E three, G six and 01:29.750 --> 01:34.280 now Bishop D Free Queen D seven, ge2. 01:34.280 --> 01:35.510 Bishop G seven. 01:36.410 --> 01:40.580 Both sides Castle B Free Rook 88. 01:40.580 --> 01:41.810 Queen C two. 01:43.670 --> 01:47.210 So here it seems as though Bishop takes a five. 01:47.210 --> 01:53.270 Might be interesting for D five this would be quite interesting. 01:53.270 --> 01:57.380 Off to rookie to the rook could actually go to D2 sometimes. 01:57.380 --> 02:01.370 This is a nice advantage for white Queen C two though. 02:01.370 --> 02:07.310 We have Bishop takes the free Queen takes the free 90 79g3c6 02:08.870 --> 02:13.340 rook 51d5c59bc8. 02:13.340 --> 02:14.030 Rookie two. 02:14.030 --> 02:16.250 So White's building up on this E file. 02:17.780 --> 02:20.720 And is this actually a winning proposition? 02:20.720 --> 02:21.890 So we have F five. 02:21.890 --> 02:23.540 This is creating some weaknesses. 02:23.540 --> 02:24.470 It is frightening. 02:24.470 --> 02:26.900 Our four pawns don't go backwards. 02:26.900 --> 02:32.810 That pawn stops with bishop at four we have King F seven and now rook e one. 02:32.810 --> 02:38.510 So building up on that file, it seems here might be one, might be an interesting retreat which may 02:38.510 --> 02:44.870 be comp off in later years would have considered because the knight's not doing too much on C free as 02:44.870 --> 02:46.580 example 9892. 02:46.610 --> 02:50.480 This position of Knight F3 is fairly interesting. 02:50.750 --> 02:53.000 Well it does seem to get a nice advantage. 02:53.000 --> 03:01.430 Black can try this rookie four and why it shouldn't take there but the rook can be safely evicted soon. 03:01.430 --> 03:07.760 So for example, this situation is going to lead to a nice advantage for white. 03:08.150 --> 03:11.690 So the retreat might be one is pretty comp Jovian as well. 03:13.190 --> 03:17.930 We could say rook a rookie one was played here by the young Karpov. 03:18.320 --> 03:24.500 So rookie ain't so the early boa constrictor in infancy. 03:24.500 --> 03:32.630 Bishop e five is played Knight B one again does seem as though it's a very useful improvement of the 03:32.630 --> 03:33.200 piece. 03:33.200 --> 03:37.700 Let's get the knight here eyeing these kind of weak squares in Black's camp. 03:37.940 --> 03:42.530 But Bishop E five this has a lot of logic to it to weaken black on the dark squares. 03:42.680 --> 03:43.850 9g8. 03:44.090 --> 03:51.470 Funny enough, if Bishop takes a five, maybe, what would you play here for ten points? 03:51.470 --> 03:53.180 What would be the best way to play this? 03:59.890 --> 04:07.120 It seems as though if we get this situation, we might want to swap our E file pressure with D takes 04:07.210 --> 04:11.200 E five for a dangerous -- as example. 04:11.200 --> 04:20.380 This this would be leading to a nice advantage where black is kind of stuck blockading and one has good 04:20.380 --> 04:23.860 prospects to improve the position and attacking points. 04:23.860 --> 04:24.820 This would be nice. 04:24.820 --> 04:28.270 So OC 19 eight though is played. 04:28.900 --> 04:32.560 We have notes f one so here a reroute of the night. 04:32.560 --> 04:32.740 Yeah. 04:32.740 --> 04:34.960 The night is not this night it's not doing much. 04:34.960 --> 04:37.000 So coming like this is interesting. 04:37.510 --> 04:45.760 Nice f 692 night e for we have Bishop takes g seven king take g seven point F three and White definitely 04:45.760 --> 04:51.160 stands really well here when it's able to use the outpost square soon. 04:51.430 --> 05:03.040 Rookie seven We have b4 rook de8 and now 95 with tempo Queen eight and now kicking Black's ninth outpost 05:03.040 --> 05:03.790 away. 05:04.270 --> 05:06.730 So is this a winning position? 05:06.730 --> 05:07.900 Well, G. 05:07.900 --> 05:11.200 Frank Quincy, seven Black is under some pressure. 05:11.200 --> 05:19.870 Queen two We have 97, and this does seem like a critical mistake here, leaving black in a world of 05:19.870 --> 05:22.750 pain, actually making things a lot easier. 05:22.750 --> 05:27.580 If Queen Di, how would white build up, you might ask? 05:27.580 --> 05:33.250 It seems as though, well, white can intensify the grip on the dark squares with h for this position 05:33.490 --> 05:41.440 we can play h five and let's say g five, because if G takes, what we can do is celebrate the dice 05:41.470 --> 05:42.220 pawns here. 05:42.220 --> 05:48.640 We can play like this and we can start getting more points of attack there with advantage. 05:48.640 --> 05:51.670 So let's say G five, Queen D free. 05:51.670 --> 05:54.610 This is just a nice position for White to carry on from. 05:54.730 --> 06:01.870 In general, one has that knight outpost and maybe a4b5 later if Queen E seven. 06:02.080 --> 06:04.990 Let's have a look at this scenario as an example. 06:04.990 --> 06:06.550 Let's take this a bit further. 06:06.730 --> 06:12.880 So we're saying that B five on the queen side could be good with that knight outpost on the five driving 06:12.880 --> 06:13.570 things. 06:13.900 --> 06:21.070 Yeah, say C tanks because otherwise, you know we're going to play B takes and use maybe the B files. 06:21.430 --> 06:24.550 This position is just leading to more targets basically. 06:24.550 --> 06:26.830 So we are putting the pressure on there. 06:27.010 --> 06:31.760 So anyway, 97 is a very bad mistake. 06:31.780 --> 06:32.860 Now guess what? 06:32.860 --> 06:38.050 Comp of plays and tactics and combinations come in here soon. 06:41.280 --> 06:48.300 OC 93 a forceful simplification so Black hasn't got time to react with night yet. 06:48.330 --> 06:49.320 We're going to take off that rook. 06:49.320 --> 06:55.200 So rook takes itoje leaves white dominating now the E file and this is decisive. 06:55.440 --> 07:06.150 We see h five if King F seven, then Queen E six check and this is nasty F four and Queen F six check 07:06.150 --> 07:09.750 and 96 folks, the Queen and the G seven square. 07:10.170 --> 07:11.310 So that will be checkmate. 07:11.820 --> 07:12.630 So. 07:13.230 --> 07:14.970 So h five is tried. 07:16.010 --> 07:20.840 We have Queen E six and points soon about to be revealed. 07:20.850 --> 07:23.330 There's a very simple winning move in this position. 07:23.450 --> 07:25.400 Can you see what it is for ten points? 07:25.400 --> 07:27.770 Very simple winning move that Karpov chose. 07:31.300 --> 07:31.750 Yeah. 07:31.780 --> 07:35.530 Queen RD, Sex and Black is actually helpless here. 07:37.030 --> 07:40.540 This little sweet tactic move. 07:41.500 --> 07:43.360 What does Black actually do here? 07:43.540 --> 07:45.280 Black resigned. 07:45.340 --> 07:49.060 If Queen takes C takes, we're just winning the night. 07:50.290 --> 07:56.210 And if Queen Di, we're just going to take the queen's off and rook takes e seven in Queen St. 07:56.230 --> 07:57.700 We're just going to take on E seven. 07:57.700 --> 08:06.940 So, yes, Simple chess here expressed by Karpov on the E file and superior space advantage on the Queen 08:06.950 --> 08:11.020 side and superior outpost possibilities. 08:11.020 --> 08:14.530 So there's a number of themes, an interesting night retreat possibilities. 08:14.530 --> 08:17.500 So there's one which Karpov didn't use in this game might be one. 08:17.500 --> 08:18.700 So the Knight retreats. 08:18.700 --> 08:23.320 Sometimes they need to retreat to get better squares if they're not doing too much. 08:23.320 --> 08:30.070 So the notion of improving pieces, outposts, pressure on a foul, building up pressure, amplifying 08:30.070 --> 08:34.090 pressure and crowning tactics and combinations in this game. 08:34.090 --> 08:40.750 So an impressive positional control game from the young Anatoly Karpov, showing us that with a shard 08:40.750 --> 08:45.970 fall, there can be grave dangers sometimes for the opponents. 08:46.090 --> 08:53.320 Okay, I hope you enjoyed this demonstration of a shared file being exploited in the center and so much.
