Hi there.
In this lecture, we see an amazing game between Genki buying and thing learn.
So this is in 2017.
The Chinese Chess League D4 from buying.
We have things there on playing night of sex.
C4 e6 we have 93.
The names are Indian Defence Bishop e4 Knight have three Black Castles Bishop G5 and it does seem logical
to play C5 here.
There are possibilities of Queen A5 sometimes and C64.
There are possibilities of breaking this pin sometimes for 94 to add pressure to C free.
So it's an interesting move.
C5 we have E free C tank, C4 Queen tanks, the nine C6 and the queen goes to DD free.
Here we have H6, Bishop H4 and now D5.
So this does seem very logical play.
And potentially if a rook comes to the defile, if the queen moves and the rook comes to the default,
there's a target ready and waiting.
So we see Rook dd one the queen of the target on D3.
So Rook D1 if C takes D5 here, E takes D5 this position Black can play aggressively with G5 for 94.
Ordinarily, this would be a lot of weaknesses being represented by here.
It's kind of justifiable because Bishop takes C3 wrecks a little bit.
The structure of White's and Bishop F5 is a nice position in general.
Well, in specifically, it's a nice position here.
Even though Black's got the isolated Queen's pawn, Black has sufficient play and there is a structural
issue on C3 right now.
So Rook D one is played.
We have G5 Bishop G3 94 here and now 92.
You'll note that this kind of weakens D4 control and thing therein uses that fact.
Knight C5 Queen C two He actually uses D4 here despite the rook and strong Black's queen on this occasion.
Here we have 90 have free one else if Bishop E2 and D3 ouch winning material.
So Knight's afraid looks as though well, you know, this is pen.
What is black doing here?
Well very dynamic move in this position.
So what would you play here for Ten points?
Black's play is a very logical looking move.
A logical looking pawn sacrifice has great perks here to open up against the king in the center.
Intuitively, this pawn is taken.
If Bishop e to her, then Queen F sinks.
And here we can play Bishop F five, and Bishop takes C free check.
If Bishop a5 there is b4 as possibility.
So let's go with Bishop.
Take C free check and just D free is very impressive.
Black has a big advantage there.
Putting the bishop back in his box.
It's just terrible.
Okay, so.
Thanks E5 is played, so here is a crunch moment.
So what would you play in this position?
400 points.
So a crunch moment.
A pawn has been sacrificed.
We have a spectacular.
Details.
Sea freight offering the Queen Queen sacrifice.
So this is often the prelude to a king hunts to bring the king down the board.
Do we really have such a hunt before we get into that?
If Queen f6 E-Type C4.
This is all so slightly fascinating because the Bishop are five and Rook 88, putting a lot of pressure
on D4 if 19 C six because D takes we're just going to take on D1 and then take on E5 with the advantage.
Essentially this this is just nice that E4 is is nice.
So here.
Let's imagine 1936 this position is actually playable for black if free.
This is very awkward position because otherwise if defined that it is very dangerous.
Rookie eight Check an A free check Bishop takes the free.
This position is crazy, but Black is winning the Knights not influencing E2.
And if King if one rookie to check Bishop take see free check taking hair and black is a whole rook
up.
So there are interesting examples where basically if white doesn't play a free hair, one's getting
blown off the board.
So let's continue on F3 a check.
And this position is is fascinating.
King G one rook takes the form.
There is Bishop F2 and one can just about hold on here so this position is holding on for white with
equality in a technical sense.
So that's crazy stuff and that's if Queen f6 is played it isn't totally lost black with Queen f6, but
this queen sacrifice is very, very interesting.
We have Rook takes the C tanks B to check and F King E2 is played with the idea of marching the king
out of the board.
It's quite ambitious.
Rook D2, it seems, might actually be playable, but it requires white to play with very high precision
here with Bishop D frame.
And.
The thing is here, we want to play something like B1 one.
We want a queen.
If it takes five.
One can avoid disaster continuations here.
Funny enough.
One move and one move only.
Can you see what that is?
Why it needs to keep an eye on the B1 one square.
And so.
Bishop H seven check and Bishop takes E5.
So even if the Queen has to give herself up, the bishop is covering the one here.
Crucially.
So this position ends up being actually equal.
So maybe that is very, very difficult to calculate, but it is possible.
It seems in a technical sense that Rook D2 would have been okay for whites.
It's scary stuff.
That's just recap that.
So yeah, these situations.
If Bishop takes E5, then Rook takes the fray is is crushing.
This position is going to be crushing because there's nightly free check here for example and black
ends up material up.
So there's only one way of playing it with Bishop 87 check and here if you know B1 as example you know
we're just taking that and just playing King E2 here.
No problem.
It's got a big advantage there.
But yeah, there's one route here which we've best played from both sides.
It ends up with uneven position.
But anyway, in the game King E2 is played.
We have Rook takes the eight and now Queen takes B2.
So that Dangerous Pawn eliminated 94.
Queen C two Knight C Free Shaq King Afraid so.
What is Black's point here?
Well, if King's being brought up the board, we want to sometimes control escape squares.
G4 check is not quite checkmate in King F4.
So we play G4.
Also there's 96 G for.
There's a few snags to tax G for as well.
So just bear that in mind.
This next move does actually make G more important and it controls the escape squares.
So yeah.
King Free is interesting actually.
Before we even go there, if King E one had been played.
What will be the solution here?
So let me just test you on King E1 for a moment.
Blake has a solution to this position with Bishop F5.
So this is very dangerous because if the Queen leaves the one, then there's Rook D1.
Checkmate.
And if Bishop D Free Rook takes the E3 1963 Rook d8.
This is a horrible pen situation where black ends up.
Much better.
So if he takes Rook D1 is checkmate there?
And if 95 year plan ends up being material up.
So okay, so I hope you convince King free.
So back to King and free.
This position has a magnificent move to make G4 strong.
So what is this move for 200 points I really truly magnificent move.
It's rook d4 it has this front now of G4 mating essentially G4 will be mating after nine.
Thanks, Bishop.
Thanks.
G4 will be champ, mate.
Let me put that on the board.
So had G for check.
And you can see that all the escape squares are taken out.
That's the main.
So okay white place H frame if queen site C frame.
That's desperate looking Bishop Tanks.
E tanks.
1964.
Check This position is going to be better for black.
The king stuck in the center is the issue here, even though it seems as though material is even.
But if we look at this, the checks are quite vicious.
The pressure is quite vicious against the king and white.
It's going to end up losing material.
Yeah.
If instead of Bishop cc7c1 is vicious Bishop the Fool Jack Bishop E free with a big roti to make France
so hare Bishop sexy whites losing material.
Yeah.
And if we look at this again with Bishop Ray, if might be afraid, then Bishop E6, then the king is
absolutely helpless in the center in this situation.
And, you know, for example, like this is checkmate.
So, okay, so h free is choice.
No count of queen sacrifice here.
It's no point.
We have now h5 renewing the idea of G for mating combination Bishop h two and now G for check King Geoffrey.
And now this is an only move situation here.
Blacks only move for a big advantage.
Can you see what it is for 100 points?
So blacks play here.
It's the prelude to driving the king down the boards upon.
So it's a rook detour.
It's the only move for a big advantage.
Queen before friends played.
If Queen takes the 294 check and then taking on D2, we've got a big advantage there.
Okay, So.
Yeah.
We have Queen Bee Framing Plant 94.
Chuck King for F King F for his rock takes have to check this possession Bishop F five King d55 King
five Rook d hack and the kings in a mating.
They're coming up mating in the center of the board.
Yeah.
Wow.
So?
So King H four is played Bishop E seven.
The king is being brought down the board now.
King G seven.
So this is very nice.
Giving new resource possibilities of using the H for later.
And the king is also taking out escape squares of the king.
So the kings of the bad place.
BISHOP four Now.
BISHOP five Yeah.
Bishop F was trying to rescue the situation on the H file because otherwise Rook H eight is coming.
So we have Bishop H six check.
So just to put it on the board, H takes Rook H eight and this is just mating.
And also there's Bishop G sex as well to contend with.
That's a mate as well.
So Bishop H six check h71 is actually helpless here.
So this is an interesting situation where it's really quite helpless in this position about this tank
White Chase.
China's Queen takes B seven just to show Knight take C six as example.
We do have resources here.
Bishop G6 check, King takes G4 four, we have a five check as a resource.
And here the attack rages on.
Bishop D six taking out an escaped square by putting the knight on E five rotates F two is now checkmate.
Beautiful stuff.
So anyway, we have queen thanks B seven tried and now rotates F two so there are actually.
Five days after taking out F2.
It means that night G4 is a new resource to factor in.
G3 is kind of a checkmate for that.
So you have Bishop G5 giving the King in effect H4 against Knight G3.
So closing up the H four because if Queen takes eight we are playing Knight G3 and Checkmate.
The King hasn't got H four.
So Bishop G5 and now Rook change is piling on the pressure.
The team is all working together.
Look how this apart from this knight.
You know, the other pieces are really engaged here.
With this mating attack.
We have nine types of seven.
Bishop G6 check.
King takes G-4 and this other knight, which didn't seem that keen on mating, is now springing in with
95 chick.
And this actually ends the game.
If Knight takes E5 Bishop five check White just is getting mated off the King G seven shank and here
rook takes h six is checkmate.
And if King H four here King G eight check.
And this is a nasty pen and it means that rook takes h six is checkmate there.
So yes.
95 check.
Nice little touch.
Yeah.
We get this killer Bishop five in King G seven.
So the knight's not controlling.
So, yeah, I mean, also, I mean, in general, you're looking to take out escape squares, but here
is also about the attacking pieces being able to function without being munched.
So yeah, great move that in the end 95.
So.
It's a spectacular game.
These games with the king hunts down on the board.
They require a lot of calculation as you could end up just being material down.
There were certain points in this where Black had to play the only move for advantage so were very,
very accurate, you know, points in this game and it makes for a spectacular game.
But yeah, it really is a test of accuracy and calculation to do this to the opponent's king, this
kind of queen sack and then sucking the king basically down the board.
Quite amazing stuff.
That could have been the final outcome.
But I'll take you to the final possession, 95 check.
So yes, this makes sure that the rook can be used without being munched, essentially.
Okay.
I hope you enjoyed this one so much.
