Hi there.
In this lecture, we see a young Gary Springer, 1976.
Spry was only 13 years old.
Here he's playing against the Putin.
So the Putin plays D4, Prof plays F6.
So this is a need to blitz it.
Woman's round two of 1976.
C For Putin.
G six We go into a king's end and the fence and the summit variation of free.
We have noisy sex Bishop e free a six queen D ₹2.
So this looks like fairly standard King's and the fence play E5 is kept in reserve until the right moments.
B5 is now in reserve as well.
If given the opportunity, this might be interesting.
We see rook b one smile of castles b4 and here e5 is played D5 and now 94.
This is justifiable in this possession from the King Center Knight G2 is played.
If Bishop takes D4, he takes D4 Queen takes D4.
What would you play here for?
Ten points.
Yeah.
I hope you can spot the link.
Thanks.
E for this would be very exploiting.
You know, the bishop very expensive of the bishop and the knight.
If Queen takes evil.
Yeah, we will pen the queen also of note instead of Bishop takes the fall.
It would be a bad idea to play Bishop H sinks.
Can you see why?
There's a tactic here which prevent this prevents this.
This is all about the King Center, often trying to do active operations.
With the king still in the center, they backfire.
So here there is a bit of a backfire tactically.
Okay.
It takes E-4 hits the queen.
And this is unfortunate because saying F takes E4 Queen H for check and this is just a great position
for Plank.
So, okay, we have nine g, E two and now C five.
So we have detained C six, B take six.
So why has Smurf sacked a pawn here?
What's the meaning of this?
Has it livened up the black pieces?
Well yes, we have rookie eight, Bishop two and now C five.
B take C5 and now a super accurate move is played in this position.
So can you see what that is here?
Okay.
Very, very interesting night.
Thanks, E-4.
So this works in a very interesting way.
If Rook takes B one check, 96 b1d take five.
White can just play this with advantage.
There's no big deal here.
So that's an any knight takes E4.
The thing is, Queen H four.
Check this position.
Queen St's e4 Y actually has a very nasty trick here.
Guess what one can play here.
Why can I actually just cancel on Queen Nancy to the point would be rookie one.
And you can see that being on B1 is actually rather useful holding the queen hair.
Someone is actually winning here, taking on E8.
Thanks very much.
So, yes, it's a very specific move.
Order Knight takes E4 first so the knights on C free here and this makes the difference so pawn takes
because if Knight takes we're just taking on B1 so pawn takes and now Queen H for check G frame.
So this is a very tense moment.
If King If one then rotates, B one check, Knight takes B1, Queen takes E4 is hitting B1 in setting
the knight.
So this is actually going to be in Black's favor.
This position is in its favor if Bishop have to hare.
Can you see what plays?
Yeah.
This is enough for a quality bishop.
Take free, but actually nothing more.
So this is a simplification, which is about equal.
But Geoffrey was played in the game and now.
We have rook times b one shank.
So here King F2 was played if nine tanks, B1 Queen tanks E4 and this position is terrible for one,
one can even get checkmated here.
Black's threatening Queen G2 and Queen H1.
That's out of the question.
So this is just amazing, basically.
So King F2 is played and now justifying things completely.
There's a move here which is.
Yeah.
Startling.
Can you see what it is?
What is that playing here?
This is actually a real test of tactics and calculations.
So the queen is a tax sponsor.
It's returned with an attack on the opponents.
Queen wrote me to funny position.
We have G tanks H four.
So what is going on here?
If Queen takes B to the point is Bishop takes the full check here and Bishop takes C free check queen
sex E for this is very strong black heads, heads in the bishop.
It's winning.
If Queen E fray Bishop takes the E4 this position D tank C five is cute.
And here taking on E free Bishop B seven.
This is better for black the exchange job.
So G takes h four is played and we have rook takes d2, Bishop takes G7.
C Well, this is just simplification.
Now can you free rook C to King D three important move here.
Yeah, it is important for attacking plans even the greatest to take some notes from Capablanca.
Sometimes if there's a slight advantage, sometimes it's best to cash out into a winning endgame.
So what would you play here?
Test your cashing out process.
I you know, you did get something from your tank.
Structurally, weight is compromised here, but you've got to be careful in this position.
So what would you play here?
Yeah.
Take a leaf out of Capablanca book rook.
Take C for H simplifying further if rook B to this is more complex, White gets that pawn and disposition
position.
Black's sage if anything is only small.
This is dangerous looking.
So Rook takes C4.
He keeps things much more simple and structurally white is worse.
It's a terrible pawn structure.
He formed the fire.
It's protected its attacks.
It's protected.
It's blocked and ready for F5 readiness for F5 F5 immediately.
White could play E5.
Black is still better, but it's not so clear as the game continuation.
So Rookie five ready for F5?
Yeah.
So this simplification is important to show in one or two games in this course because Capablanca was
dominant in his era and he was a master of getting a small advantage and simplifying out to winning
and games.
So Ock is one way of gaining benefits from attacking play.
So Rook b1a very key way of gaining benefits.
So Bishop takes E4 here.
Wrote me six f4.
This is a very dangerous path.
F pawn rook takes a six, f three Bishop f one Bishop F5.
So now this makes way for the rookie one So Rook seven Shank King only six King D2 now F2.
So still supporting rookie one Bishop E2 and now a very interesting move.
Very powerful move.
What would you play here for?
Five points
and Bishop G.
G for trying to lure the bishop away so we can play F one.
Actually, immediately we have Bishop D3.
If so, if Bishop takes G4, forget rookie one, we just Queen.
So Bishop defray rookie one, rook have seven and now disconnecting the rook from F1.
So now F1 is now France A5.
Now here, actually.
Bishop thinks the fray is played which.
It's still frightening.
F1 So we have looked after and you might think, well, there's two pieces hanging, so we'll have to
play here, which ends the game.
Okay.
It's real CAF one.
Yeah.
That's a neat trick in the end.
So here, if Rook G2, Bishop, F5, you know, that's got a huge advantage.
The Brooks are going to come behind the pawn.
This pawn is not really a danger.
If Rook takes F1, Bishop takes F1.
A6 Black has the time to take on C4 here and then Bishop D5.
So yes.
And in the game Rook have won a neat game showing that of even at a young age, you know, he could
just simplify into a winning endgame.
It's something important to note in this course.
So there was a kind of terrific attacking chess early on in this game, kind of exploiting the king
in the center and just getting structural, structural advantage from all those tactical transactions
and then being able to just win an end game.
This is this is high level chess for you.
It's one of only 13 at the time in this game.
Okay.
I hope you enjoyed that.
So an interesting point.
Basically, sometimes we can't checkmate with our attacks, but we can just get winning positions which
we can simplify into one end games.
It's a great winning technique to bear in mind.
Okay, Thanks so much.
