Hi there.
In this lecture, we see an amazing trap in the so-called Albon Count Gambit.
So off the White Plains, the fall D5 is played C4.
And now if this is a very interesting and fun gambit, which I have used perhaps too many times in chess,
we have details.
E5 DeFore, we see white playing airfreight.
This is not the best move.
The best move is not Afri.
So we're going to see why now after every black actually plays a key check.
And now Bishop detA.
And now here it seems as though Black needs to do something about this special.
But in fact, the point is revealed details every year and now white snaps off that bishop, which is
a mistake.
White should really play offtakes every year, even if there's Queen H for check this position hitting
the rook white can actually play on.
And the position is not entirely terrible.
For example, like this, it's not entirely terrible, but it favors blacks slightly.
However, if Black takes the bishop, this is a big, big mistake.
So instead of offtakes, every if one takes this Bishop Black now plays a very interesting combination.
He can see what black plays here if I give you five seconds to pause the video.
OK.
It's etext have to check so the king can't leave, the queen of King leaves the queen.
We're going to take the queen and that's it.
There's no backfire.
Think about the backfire aspect, though.
When you are playing combination's, you don't want to find something nasty at the end.
So the king goes to eat, too.
But now what is the absolute best move?
Black.
If I give you five seconds to pause video here.
So a thousand points if you get this.
It's a really, really cool move indeed, so do pause the video if you need.
OK, we actually under promote not so a queen but actually to a night.
So it's check.
So black is forcing the issue with this promotion, keeping it forcing.
And this is problematic to say the least.
We have a situation here where now
if tanks Jiwon, the black plane's bishop, J4 check and wins the queen on day one.
So, for example, here, we're just going to take the queen on day one.
Yeah.
So by doing this promotion, it's a real killer move.
If King Iwon, then black is much better here in this position of the Queen.
A full check, for example, than have what is white actually do whites in big trouble if King detA
there are things like queen after check and black can actually get a huge position here.
For example, 1962 Queen takes 96.
Black is actually a piece up here in this position if we count the pieces.
One, two, three, one, two.
So let's have a look at that sequence again.
So Black temporarily offers that piece is a trap against the peace.
Back with check.
And if that is left that, then we've actually created a new peace.
So it's not as if we've just got the peace back.
We've got a new piece of the king we want a good move is queen age for Jack.
And this is really problematic if Jeffrey Queene for Jack will win that rook on H1.
So if the king is forced to move her, yeah, we'll have to check.
And we're essentially, you know, a piece up at the moment.
It's a winning position.
So very, very interesting.
Trapped in the album counts.
Let's review that again so DeFore won't casually please move it.
This could easily happen in a blitz game.
If you want have a little bit of fun and see if this track works for you.
Yes, try out.
I mean, I've played the album Count so many times and it's a fun opening in its own right.
If you want something quite interesting to energize the pieces.
And I would recommend it actually either systems or gambits in your first few weeks and months of chess
just to get your passion for the tactics side of the game up.
You might think all systems that does it, but it kind of does because you can spend more time on tactics,
training.
But also if you play gambits as well, you get more lively pieces, good piece activity, which leads
to tactics and combinations more often.
So this is a very interesting gambit.
If you're looking for something against the Queen's Gambit, as in the Queen's Gambit Netflix series,
The Queen's Gambit opening play, this album counts even if it was actually a favor of Paul Karez and
some correspondance games as well.
He experimented with this gambit.
So it's a fun one.
It's not entirely sound.
So you might have to only use it in special time because false time controls or kind of, you know,
your fun mode of chess.
But it's good for training, as is a lot of games.
They're good for training to get your awareness up of the power of the pieces.
OK, thanks so much.
