WEBVTT 00:01.350 --> 00:02.160 Hi there. 00:02.430 --> 00:05.340 In this lecture, we see Graham Burgess against Michael Adams. 00:05.340 --> 00:09.570 In 1989, the 13 points back Monsters Open Round ten. 00:09.570 --> 00:14.120 We see the fall from Graham Burgess Knight of Sex affray. 00:14.280 --> 00:18.810 So this actually goes into Queen's Indian territory of the e6c4. 00:18.930 --> 00:21.060 So why is avoided with this move? 00:21.060 --> 00:29.940 Order The Nims are Indian we have now b six so the nims are Indian 00:32.550 --> 00:39.150 usually is in this move order of six, c4e69c for allowing this pen. 00:40.350 --> 00:46.770 So as a plywood black you need to know the names of an engine, but also the Queen's Indian territory. 00:47.010 --> 00:58.440 So we have to have three E, six, c4b6a free bishop, a six, Quincy two, bishop B seven. 01:00.330 --> 01:04.860 So you might think this is a waste of tempo, but the Queen has been taken away from influencing. 01:04.860 --> 01:13.380 D four We have Bishop G five and H six and white volunteers that dance square Bishop we have Queen takes 01:13.380 --> 01:29.400 F six, E, four, c5d, five D, six nine, C, three, E, five, bishop E two and now g6b4 97 Queen 01:29.400 --> 01:41.100 A for the queen drops back 90 2h5 is played to give this new resource. 01:41.220 --> 01:45.270 Bishop H six, B S.C C five. 01:46.860 --> 01:51.680 And here we have Bishop takes D to change. 01:51.690 --> 01:56.550 So giving back the bishop D ten C five, 9b5. 01:56.550 --> 01:58.560 This is a bit of an inaccuracy. 01:58.560 --> 02:00.810 It seems here. 02:00.810 --> 02:04.380 It seems as though H four and one should be fine. 02:05.070 --> 02:09.580 It has certain assets like the protected parts pawn. 02:09.600 --> 02:11.150 Now sure it's blocked table. 02:11.160 --> 02:17.820 So this scenario, as example, should be though in White's favor. 02:18.360 --> 02:25.320 So for example, here I can even play tactically with 94 well for positional purposes to put the knight 02:25.320 --> 02:27.240 on d free to improve that piece. 02:27.240 --> 02:33.840 And as example, you know why it's doing pretty well here but with might be five. 02:35.460 --> 02:38.910 This makes Black's task easier in some respects. 02:39.390 --> 02:43.020 Adams Castles 96 we have Queen C seven. 02:43.020 --> 02:47.910 Knight takes B seven, Queen six, B seven, G four. 02:50.070 --> 02:55.800 So this is actually a bit fragmentation G four and is kind of weakening pawns. 02:55.800 --> 02:57.930 We have H takes g for bishops. 02:57.930 --> 03:02.760 hg49, ten, six, F three and now King G seven. 03:02.760 --> 03:08.100 And Black is in a position to adequately defend for the moment. 03:08.520 --> 03:09.960 h4h8. 03:09.990 --> 03:13.080 However, y has a very interesting idea. 03:13.110 --> 03:15.480 H five pawn sacrifice. 03:16.050 --> 03:16.650 G Thanks. 03:16.650 --> 03:17.910 And just to put the bishop on. 03:17.910 --> 03:25.590 F five So the king seems a little bit concerning here with these rooks and the Queen looking at D seven 03:25.590 --> 03:26.940 and this pawn. 03:26.940 --> 03:29.160 So white does have a point. 03:29.490 --> 03:35.820 We have king f eight, rook hg1 king e7f4. 03:35.820 --> 03:37.170 Trying to open up things. 03:37.950 --> 03:39.120 Queen C seven. 03:39.120 --> 03:39.560 Yeah. 03:39.570 --> 03:42.660 If E takes a four, that's very, very dangerous. 03:42.660 --> 03:43.290 Four Black. 03:43.440 --> 03:44.790 Black would have to give up a piece. 03:44.790 --> 03:45.750 This is just too strong. 03:45.750 --> 03:46.740 This t six. 03:46.770 --> 03:49.020 It looks visibly crushing. 03:49.290 --> 03:53.490 If black has to give up a piece like this, this isn't very promising. 03:53.670 --> 03:55.710 White should have a big advantage here. 03:55.950 --> 03:58.200 So Queen C seven important. 03:58.200 --> 04:01.860 Keep the blockade on the dark squares here. 04:01.860 --> 04:03.210 Queen C six now. 04:03.210 --> 04:04.290 Very interesting. 04:05.580 --> 04:06.810 Perhaps slightly inaccurate. 04:06.810 --> 04:09.930 Queen bee free this way of playing it. 04:09.930 --> 04:15.660 Just keep the pressure going, for example, with Queen B to keep the pressure going and the tension. 04:15.660 --> 04:24.600 And it should be even with Quincy six, Adams actually takes that and now dares to take on F four. 04:24.600 --> 04:28.030 We have E five and now Rook eight. 04:28.290 --> 04:28.770 Check. 04:28.920 --> 04:31.140 This seems slightly inaccurate. 04:31.140 --> 04:35.010 It seems as though Knight G four was possible here. 04:37.140 --> 04:41.730 As example, if Bishop takes G4, this is going to be fine for black. 04:41.730 --> 04:46.050 This situation, this end game. 04:46.590 --> 04:50.430 Black is a pawn up and it's just very promising. 04:51.150 --> 04:53.010 Black's going to get an advantage here. 04:55.050 --> 04:56.400 Black has the advantage here. 04:56.400 --> 04:57.060 Rather. 04:57.630 --> 05:01.980 If c79 times e five, king of six. 05:01.980 --> 05:03.900 This is absolutely fine for black as well. 05:04.700 --> 05:05.010 Okay. 05:05.010 --> 05:08.910 So 94 was very interesting, but our rook 88 check is played. 05:09.210 --> 05:11.010 King free 98. 05:11.310 --> 05:12.480 Rook G five. 05:13.500 --> 05:14.860 Slightly inaccurate here. 05:14.880 --> 05:16.290 Bishop D seven. 05:16.290 --> 05:20.580 And this situation with Rook H for rook have one. 05:22.050 --> 05:28.010 And if one takes 26 now this position should be about even. 05:28.020 --> 05:30.490 It's pretty tricky, these endgame scenarios. 05:30.510 --> 05:33.030 But this should be about even for example. 05:33.030 --> 05:33.160 Yeah. 05:33.210 --> 05:36.840 If the king tries to get to C six, then rook six happens. 05:36.840 --> 05:38.280 This is about even. 05:38.640 --> 05:40.670 But Rook G five was played. 05:40.680 --> 05:48.150 We have rook D four rook h takes h five rook takes h five rotates h five. 05:48.150 --> 05:51.870 And now the magic of passport potential is shown. 05:52.430 --> 05:56.970 F3 is played and it forces white to be accurate here. 05:57.140 --> 06:05.250 White hands play Bishop H free with equality, but White plays Bishop D seven and now things are super 06:05.250 --> 06:05.790 interesting. 06:05.790 --> 06:16.320 We have 9g7 hitting the rock Rook seven and in this position Black has essentially a forced win. 06:16.470 --> 06:23.820 This pawn is only two squares away from queening and F two is played, which is strong, but also there's 06:23.820 --> 06:27.360 a forcing line here to do with that past pawn. 06:27.360 --> 06:28.080 Can you see it? 06:28.590 --> 06:30.870 It's really quite remarkable. 06:34.700 --> 06:39.470 It seems as though it's totally in time to catch the pass --, but it's not the case. 06:39.620 --> 06:46.370 Black can actually afford to play Rook 67, believe it or not, because of the C 60 7f2. 06:46.400 --> 06:55.370 It looks as though it's totally in time, but now 95 so black is French thing might g free or not e 06:55.370 --> 06:56.810 free for f one. 06:56.810 --> 06:58.010 And the thing is. 06:59.790 --> 07:02.400 It doesn't help Rook F1. 07:02.730 --> 07:04.990 There's either Nike free or Nike free. 07:05.010 --> 07:11.090 Both worked very well because Rook takes F to 91 check or even the other way. 07:11.100 --> 07:18.060 It's it's a fun position where because the king being placed there ends up being lost. 07:18.490 --> 07:20.160 So this is very dangerous. 07:20.160 --> 07:22.140 So 95 taking the free. 07:22.140 --> 07:23.370 There's no g free though. 07:23.490 --> 07:24.660 And then queening. 07:25.080 --> 07:27.390 So yes, disastrous. 07:27.420 --> 07:31.740 So anyway, F2 is played here, which is also strong. 07:33.510 --> 07:37.440 Bishop H free is now played if Rook H one. 07:38.250 --> 07:40.740 Again, we have these variations which are amazing. 07:40.740 --> 07:43.490 Rook takes these seven C takes 95. 07:43.500 --> 07:49.350 And why isn't in time here to stop things just going into this check. 07:49.680 --> 07:51.300 So, Bishop H free. 07:51.300 --> 07:52.830 We have 96. 07:56.090 --> 08:00.290 And now Bishop, S.C., thinks. 08:02.760 --> 08:05.040 And guess what Adams plays here, which is. 08:06.460 --> 08:09.970 Super strong in this position. 08:14.750 --> 08:15.050 Yeah. 08:15.080 --> 08:15.440 Rocket. 08:16.040 --> 08:17.300 This is super strong. 08:17.540 --> 08:21.530 King takes E sinks is also kind of good. 08:21.530 --> 08:25.610 This this resulting end game is good for playing as well. 08:25.940 --> 08:33.540 But with brook, our fall won't place Brook H one if one of the points is if Bishop H. 08:33.640 --> 08:36.260 You guess what we have here which is crushing. 08:39.270 --> 08:40.150 We've got more tracks here. 08:40.170 --> 08:45.480 We've got our free check and rook takes h free hitting the rook and threatening to Queen. 08:45.870 --> 08:46.800 Overwhelming. 08:47.220 --> 08:54.750 So after careful rook one is played F takes e6 end of game won't resigned. 08:54.990 --> 08:59.070 If Rook f one King d8c2. 08:59.070 --> 09:01.800 King C seven Kingsley one king. 09:01.840 --> 09:02.910 Take C six. 09:03.210 --> 09:06.030 And this resulting end game is hopeless. 09:07.860 --> 09:13.110 White can't afford the transition into the king and pawn ending, so this is just easily winning for 09:13.110 --> 09:14.820 black in the end. 09:14.910 --> 09:17.970 So the game ended on F tanks E six. 09:18.450 --> 09:19.710 So that was end of game. 09:21.540 --> 09:23.100 Yeah, a fun one. 09:24.630 --> 09:30.000 It's interesting, this super solid choice in Adams, you know, positional opening repertoire avoids 09:30.570 --> 09:35.940 situations like the Kings and in offense which is more about calculation and kind of luck sometimes 09:35.940 --> 09:37.440 if you're lucky with the attack. 09:37.440 --> 09:40.680 No this is a positional approach. 09:40.830 --> 09:47.880 Adams got the best power out of the opening, and it seems White's attack won't last for a tank created 09:47.880 --> 09:53.700 some weak pawns and a very dangerous possible in the end, as the story goes in this particular game. 09:54.000 --> 09:56.040 So a dangerous pass point emerged. 09:56.910 --> 09:57.840 So it's quite fascinating. 09:57.840 --> 10:03.150 And the resources around the pass pawn, it was actually quite a dangerous position for black to be 10:03.150 --> 10:04.710 fair of F for. 10:05.100 --> 10:08.850 Yeah, it's was doing black favors. 10:09.120 --> 10:11.910 Quincy thinks that possible note. 10:11.910 --> 10:12.190 Yeah. 10:12.190 --> 10:13.860 It becomes very dangerous now. 10:14.370 --> 10:18.690 So 9g4 was a good move here for an accurate move. 10:19.020 --> 10:20.220 So in the game. 10:22.050 --> 10:28.350 Yeah this is this is just really interesting in the game so Rook 88 check in actually. 10:28.350 --> 10:31.170 But Adams still managed to win here. 10:31.980 --> 10:35.700 It's possible and super dangerous in this position. 10:36.780 --> 10:39.060 Bishop H3 had to be played here. 10:39.930 --> 10:49.080 So because of Bishop d72 steps away, remarkable resources creep into the possession of the 97, factoring 10:49.080 --> 10:56.820 in not just the past pawn, but also where the king is, where the king lives on C free becomes comes 10:56.820 --> 11:00.030 into it because of this knight jumping in. 11:00.070 --> 11:07.800 It's rather remarkable that this knight can be so dangerous in these scenarios because of the king possession. 11:09.390 --> 11:10.710 Absolutely amazing stuff. 11:10.710 --> 11:12.450 So, yeah, I hope you enjoyed this one. 11:13.410 --> 11:14.160 Thanks so much.
