Hi there in this slideshow, we're going to have an interesting opponent that wants to copy us, so
we play E4 and they just copy us.
Maybe they're trying to win this up.
Maybe they don't know too much opening theories.
So they're trying to play on the safe side.
So we play our night out attacking their pawn.
And in fact, they don't defend the pawn like 96, which is maybe what you will expect most of the time
usually.
Or they might defend their pawn with Desex, which is known as the photos, the fence.
But there is another move, which is a legitimate opening, the Petroff the fence.
But they might follow this up incorrectly.
Quite often in chess, the power of move is in the follow up.
Now here, if their intention was just to imitate you, then they have left their pawn hanging.
When I say hangi means on when I see it and it means you can take that pawn.
So yeah, these are other terminologies hanging on praise and PR I as a French term.
So hanging means it's just hanging there to be taken.
So anyway, you can take this poll and the opening move that they should play now is desex to chase
your life back.
Yeah, this is what should happen.
And then they can take your point here, and this is actually legitimate.
It's official, it's established opening theory and you might want a good line here.
By the way, I'd recommend Seefried to keep the game kind of spicy.
Interesting.
So even though you have double pawns here, you can take like this and you get a very exciting position.
I want you at the start of your chaska to experience the excitement of chess and not to have boring
positions.
I want you to maximize your tactical capabilities and to do so.
Sometimes you do need the positions be a little bit more open rather than closed.
Once I open, I mean, some pawns missing, especially like an open center, some pawns missing from
the center, not completely closed.
So there are some pawns missing now here.
You've also got what I'd call an imbalance in the position in that you've got some potential pressure
on this foul and they have some potential pressure here.
There's an imbalance in this position, which is kind of interesting.
And you could even cancel Queensland here.
And this is great.
This is a very exciting position to play from many grandmasters.
I've played white from here.
You're in great territory, but let's go back.
And in fact, you weren't playing this major opening expos.
They were just copying you.
They were just absolutely copying you.
And they don't play Desex.
So they're not really a Petroff defense expert.
They haven't been spending their weekends reading books on the Petroff defense.
In fact, they were just copying you and they play nineteen eighty four.
Now, if you really want to punish them for this and when I say punish, I don't mean just ignore what
they've done by ignoring it.
You're not going to really tap into the real downsides of this.
You could ignore it, for example, for the five and no big deal, you know, and in fact this could
happen and it's no big deal and no one has really got a major advantage.
But you can actually punish what they've done.
Let's go back and look at this possession for its own merits.
So sometimes to punish what the opponent plays, you do have to look at the exact position for its own
specific features, nuances, details, its own merits.
And then in such a way, you can punish the opponents because the night here, unlike what they should
have done, is still on a five.
And that should be a hint.
Something might be up here.
Why is this night still on a five?
Yes, they've recaptured the point, but the night still only five.
This might bug you in some way.
It surely is is punishable.
Should this be punishable?
Should you even risk breaking an opening principle to try and punish this, like moving your queen early,
earlier than you might usually like?
Well, in the details of this specific position, you're given a license of freedom and liberty, an
important option that actually you should use, even if it apparently does break general opening principles.
Which is this move queeny to?
You're attacking that noise, and because I'm still on E five now, let's say.
They played D5 your nine still on five, it hasn't been kicked back, now you can play differe kicking
their night.
Now if the night goes back, guess what move you've got here, which gives you a big advantage.
Straight out the opening.
So what would you play here or give you five seconds to pull the video?
OK, 96, it's check, and you're hitting the queen, so they're actually going to lose their queen
here like this, or if they move the queen.
I mean, you just can say on Easom.
So, yeah, the copy and that they've done has been punished.
So sometimes you have to be on the lookout for such punishments, so afraid they haven't played the
these sexy all night.
Still only five in this specific position.
It pays off quite well to play Queen E to.
Now say they play queen in seven.
This is one of their better options.
You can still be in a good position, you just take care and they play this desex, they can't move
without losing a queen, but you still going to be a pawn up.
So here they fall, they take you take your pawn up.
If you do reach this position in 1996, the recommendable move here is actually to pin the knight.
This is the best move.
And I encourage you to do maybe a little bit of research on this position to see some example games.
This is a very, very good move.
F4, you might think, is a move, but it's a little bit risky, actually.
There are risk factors going on here subtlely to Bishop for.
So I do not recommend this move as an example, if G5 and you don't go bishop the two now, so you go
here, then they've got five and out your queens on E4 not protected by anything.
So you can't take it.
You can lose your queen.
And if you move your queen back F4 This is a naughty trap, but to avoid all the hassle here, to take
all the hassle out, the move most people play is indirectly protecting.
The pawn will be five and if they take here you can actually win a piece.
Bishop S.C Check and win the Queen.
They can't take on five.
Yeah.
You're actually going to win.
They're going to.
That's a good move.
And then you can carry on with Mitzy free even if you have to give the pawn back generally.
Why is fort's be better here.
But this is going a little bit far.
Basically this is going a little bit far.
So essentially after Difford Details details Ninety-Six just be aware of Bishop B five as the key move
there if he really get to this position.
OK, but essentially why is standing pretty well overall I.
So let's just go back is if they really are trying to copy you, if they step back, whether it's a
total disaster.
So.
As well, let's just mention that if they step back with annoyance, I hope you can spot what you play
here.
OK, it's 96, Jack, so you unveiled this discovered check and also you're hitting the queen and quite
often in chess, when you overwhelm your opponents with more than one frets on a single move because
it's a single term based game, you have a turnip, acetone, it's like you're overwhelming.
Your opponent is a very powerful idea.
And that is the basis quite often of chess tactics in general that you're sometimes winning material
or winning in other ways because you're presenting more than one kind of threat that they can't really
parry.
So because we're attacking the king and queen.
So anyway, essentially, yeah, a knight move is a total disaster.
And here it's the same as a total disaster.
So if you want to set this kind of trap, this is one case where you're setting a kind of trap, but
it's no more opening there anyway.
You haven't actually compromised your position in the slightest by taking the pawn here.
And if they do this, this is actually a great move to play queen.
It's a great move.
And if they played five.
Yeah, differe.
So it's a disaster for them to go back here because of 96 check if you look at the discovery effects
on the whole possession.
So my my three golden rules, you know, when you look at moves ahead, like Beth Holman, you want
to see weaknesses of the last move, common killer squares and the effects on the whole possession of
discovery facts.
So have you look at that discovery of facts.
You know, it's not just where the big arrows are on on the interface that you might play online.
It's it's the effect on the whole possession.
Your queen's been sort of extended in scope to the king as check and you're going to win their queen.
But yet the most stubborn is if they actually play Queen Elizabeth.
So you can actually hear let's imagine this takes I mean, most of this, but even hey, you're winning
a pawn with E takes five because that queen is Pend.
So in all these lines, most of these lines, you're not being significantly better.
You're significantly better here in this position.
A pawn up.
Now, as you get stronger in chess, you will have these like parts of your your chain, weak links
in your chain, opening little game and game, and this this course kind of sets you up in in multiple
departments, setting up a chain that you can start with.
So, you know, you're going to be equipped with the basic opening traps and basically opening names
and ideas.
You're going to be equipped with basic middle game concepts and good equipment, basic Angang concepts
and other stuff.
So you can have some equipment as a result of this beginner's course.
And as you improve in chess, you really want to improve different parts of the chain relative to each
other.
So just bear that in mind as well.
So don't spend all your time swatting up on opening theory.
There is the middle game and game.
It's sort of in balance your knowledge and skills in these areas, because otherwise one part of the
change is going to let down your other parts.
You're let down by the weakest link in your chain.
So, OK, but there's a little bit of opening theory reflected as well in what was you know, essentially
the core of this is to cover this copying trap.
So they're trying to copy you, but you punish them with Queene.
So you don't ignore this because, you know, it's still only five.
So, yeah, queeny, to bear that in mind, how you can train with this video initially to set yourself
up.
And even if they are playing the Petroff properly, I've also given you a good theoretical line, which
for me has injected a lot of excitement into an otherwise fairly dull opening.
I don't want you to play in dull ways at the start of your chess career.
So this is a great way you can call the queen side quite often opposite side, cos the games are a lot
of fun to be had.
OK, that's so much.
