Hi there in Atlanta.
I'm going to show you the so-called scholars might on the form of Chiang, as it's sometimes called,
so.
If you're playing black, let's play with the black pieces and your opponents.
They play for you playing E5 and then they bring out their going to age five.
Now, the queen is the most valuable piece.
It shouldn't really be brought out this quickly.
And you'll notice it's attacking your pawn.
OK, so you think you could punish this queen, but you are a bit concerned.
And if you do, if you just do this, you are actually losing a sense of pawn.
So you go to protect your home with 96.
That's fair enough.
But now Bishop CIFOR is played away on fraternising something and you shouldn't use the routine move,
not have sex here.
You should have a look and be aware of what the opponent is threatening.
And this is a general thing in general.
You need awareness of what the opponent is frightening.
And, you know, when you're calculating variations, the three golden principles Killer Common Squares
is the first one or one, one of the three key ones, wings of the last move.
And discovery effects on positions.
So here is there a common square is a team working together?
Now, this sounds very, very positive.
Let's get the team of pieces working together.
And there is a killer common square.
If you played, might have sex.
I hope you can spot what might please her.
You shouldn't be playing the routine of sex in this position because one of us won't play.
OK, quintets F7 is Tramaine, yeah, this is the so-called scholars meit's, which I hope you never
fall into.
Now what do you do?
You might ask, what do you actually do here?
What is what is actually the best move?
Well, in fact, it seems I have taken this question very seriously.
I put it into the most powerful technology available, the latest for visual networks and everything.
So here, actually, I'm not going to give you a routine answer and give you a very specific answer
it wants to hear.
And that's desex.
She seems to be the very best move now, they could drop back to a free and they are again renewing
a threat on F7.
Now, here you play a sex and say they play this.
You have of the desex a very fine position.
You can use what is called a fan cazzo of the bishop of incentives and sometimes quiet.
And your position here is very, very nice to play from.
So this is how to deal with it.
So let's recap.
So 845, the queen comes out early so you protect that pawn.
That is sensible.
But hey, you need to be wary of what the opponent is threatening.
And in general, that's useful to have that awareness.
And as I've mentioned in other lectures.
You have to start with that awareness is it's good, very good to have an awareness of what the had
is threatening so you can either parry the France, make it big of France, or completely crush the
opponent with a crushing, winning combination by hand.
No, we haven't got a crushing winning combination.
We have to carry the France Perry the fray in such a way that.
It actually doesn't create it creates rather minimal downsides for us.
Some of the suggestions in this position, like Queening Seven seem OK, but actually, you know what,
the queen, only seven is actually subject to tempo gain.
Hear from later, noisy, free to define potentially so, for example, 94 immediately, and there's
an uneasiness about 95 if you play nice D4 here.
You're trying to drag the queen back to Tennessee to and then you can play C6.
And that covers the five square, but White actually gets a position where you haven't really punish
them, it's about equal hair, objectively speaking.
So this kind of handling of the situation.
Isn't entirely brilliant, isn't it?
Tiny little.
Well, your queen is on a seven because it's also blocking in your bishop.
So this is not the most preferred treatment you're blocking in your bishop, which is against kind of
opening principles.
And you might ask, well, OK, why 94?
Why not this?
That's that's that is a reasonable question.
But again, you know what?
If they just went to the one, you haven't really punished them.
You've just actually blocked in your bishop.
So my recommendation for you is in handling this very direct early attack is is to actually play the
movie G Sex.
So kicking the queen, the queen will most often go to Africa to renew this curcumin Squyres principle,
which is tactics.
But it's too early on in the game for the opponents to indulge this kind of taunting, because one of
the principles of opening play is not to use the same space more than once, ideally, and to try and
get all your pieces out and hear the opponent isn't doing that.
So let's have sex and then desex.
And you're looking forward to potential tampoe gains against the queen later.
So this situation is quite pleasant for you.
You have various options here.
So that's how to handle the scholars.
Why?
So should you actually play to win with the scholars?
Might well, you know, want the taste of winning and peace is cooperating and a soft spot.
They are principles in their own right.
So you might want to give it a go.
Occasionally they will trade, but it's a naughty trade.
Bear in mind, opening play in general, you should be developing most of your army as much of your
army as possible.
Your pieces are like your chessmen.
You shouldn't be bringing out your queen early in principle because it's the most valuable piece.
It can be driven back and you're actually helping your opponents develop pieces quite often.
So should you do this?
It's not a recommendable opening.
But if you want to do it for fun, to see your friends faces,
OK, maybe it's the sort of thing I did as a kid.
I enjoyed winning like this sometimes.
But you learn better openings after and we'll see different openings later on in the course.
So it's only if they play dates, then you can delightfully just immediately win the game with quintets.
F7 you shouldn't really be playing for any traps, but it's setting a trap.
It's a very trappy way of playing the opening and breaking kind of principles.
You want to play a more principled opening.
People talk about opening principles.
We will talk about opening principles.
And in fact, the next session could be a logical follow up where we're going to talk about my own principles
and really not this trap violates some of them.
So it's the scholars, though, it's very well known.
You must know about this scholars ways to handle defending against it, at least variations on a theme.
Let's say let's go back to plain black now.
If they Verrett with Bishop CIFOR and you play if you've actually extinguished Quiñones five and there's
no threat here either.
So Bishop CIFOR isn't a great way for them to introduce the trap, and nor is actually Queen Afri,
because usually you're going to develop piece here and then there's no front again.
So the way they're going to play it is usually like this where they're attacking a pawn.
They're trying to get you to play Ninety-Six and then they're attacking F7.
You just got to be careful here not to play a routine move.
OK, so I hope you don't fall for this cooperation of the Queen and Bishop on F7.
So just play the move desex here.
And if Queen Afri then you develop peace and you're shooting F7 and you look forward to a good position
after Desex and G7, that's a very nice position.
Start the game off with.
OK, that's a much.
