Hi, in this lecture, we're going to show an example of what happens when you don't counsel early enough.
So Paul is playing against Ruffa in 1859.
Paris EFORE is played by Paul Morphy, 85, 93, 96.
Bishop C4.
Polymorph is not giving records in this game.
Yes, there's a rook.
You are so asix.
We have defore eatings white castles and our black plays.
1964 Brookie one D5.
This is actually OK if black plays correctly.
After 1933 we see Queen aged five nights Heynckes e4 Bishop ESX Night PG five Bishop before I'm here,
the black king is still in the center.
So this move is a little bit ambitious.
Considering that the king is in the center.
Perhaps a better move would have been to be able to, if necessary, even sacrifice a pawn special to
counsel.
For example, Bishop S7.
And.
Try and console, you know, if it takes an even if losing pawn, try and console in the game.
What we see now of this more adventurous bishop before is actually it makes it more difficult for blacks
console because Paul Morphy plays Rook takes a sex check and he actually prevents the opponent from
legally canceling the opponent's prevented from legally canceling.
The king cannot pass through checks.
So there's no kingside on the side or queen side castling available.
It's not legal right now.
So this is a situation where we have a situation we've arrived at.
But for the purpose of example here that, you know, the kings in the center, they have the kings
in the sense of like this horrible things can sometimes happen.
We have this night supporting the other one, attacking the queen.
So the queen moves another Queen Itou And this sets up a kind of x ray against the king.
So horrible things are happening.
These x rays shouldn't be so easy to create.
This is a kind of x ray tactic situation where you can say it's an x ray because it's as if it's going
through these pieces looking at the opponent King.
This is not the sort of thing you generally want.
You don't want your opponents pieces x ray, your king, because the king's in the center and it hasn't
cancels the possibility for x rays, for pens, for other n these increases.
And we see after Bishop Desex, we see now Knight, G-7, Chank and the king, you know, is in a bit
of trouble here.
We see King the seven and now there's this horrible on Queen Geotag, the Kings push back to the back
rank where the rules are really not happy.
They've been left at home.
They're on holiday.
They're disconnected here and here we see actually ninety seven check.
And you might wonder what is going on here with my F7 check.
Well, of the Queen takes Polymorph is bringing in another attacking piece and opening up the ref as
well.
We see Bishop E seven and now 96 Chank.
And here we actually see that the king is in big trouble and tries to go to the queen side like this.
But after night, see five Chank King Bee eight Paul Morphy now plays like the seven check of the Kings.
Yates, I'm hoping you spot the pattern here, which we can use to checkmate, actually by force.
The opponents can.
So if I give you five seconds here, what is a great pattern?
You can use her.
So Chacal checks captures, Freda's making one, and I hope you spot that you can actually play be six
which forces the king to move because it's a double check, double checked for the king to move.
Now, if King Day, the king in the center is actually checkmated like this.
So the king can't go there.
King goes here.
And I hope you can spot what playing here while it's playing.
OK, Quincy, check, yeah, this is a classic smothered like pattern after 97.
This is checkmate.
So what happened in this game?
Was this an interesting game?
It's an interesting game because it highlights actually that if your opponent's king is left in the
center and you don't want to be the victim, if your opponent's king is left in the center, sometimes
you can actually at some point even stop the opposing king from casting.
So in this move, tries to actually stop the opposing king from legally casting your interfacial, interfering
with the legality you're taking away your opponent's right.
First to castles, the kings in the center and want that concretely means as far as this example is
that pressure is able to be brought upon the king first, the next right, then the checks come in and
then all of a sudden over.
It's like a checkmate combination.
So that's why King safety is so important.
The King is the most precious personal chessboard that you need to look after your king.
So being able to castle early.
But conversely, you know, if you're dealing with the opponents, King Polymorph, his little exchange,
which in theory, by the way, it's not a trade off.
Polymorph is using material trade offs.
To get these other things emphasized more, he's really underlining these other factors, so he's offering
up what in theory seems a bad decision, right, to give up a rope for a bishop, but it really makes
the opposing position very difficult to play.
If Black can't even Kalsu, then they can't connect the rocks and it leads to big, big trouble.
So this is why you need the art of war, principal.
Put yourself beyond the fades before going on the attack.
In chess terms, it's developing pieces, castling early and then looking for active operations like
winning material.
But if you win material too early, if you do the active operations like winning material to early things
tend to backfire.
You know, you end up being defeated before you even get your attack going on here.
Yeah, it gets kind of defeated before anything gets going.
The king just stranded in the center.
It's pretty unpleasant situation after 1997.
Check the Quinkan take because it's Penns to the king and it just seems fairly unpleasant.
There are many variations, but I just want to give you that, General, just so this interesting move
to make sure that the bishop can be brought into the game
and then the knight swings by.
He says it's just a very, very dangerous situation here.
Black kind of made things a little bit worse with this move going into this track.
And now the king is actually by force being mated.
So that can be the ultimate outcome.
If you don't treat your king with care and the early stage of the game, just expect to be mated quickly.
Basically, that's the brutal reality sometimes, especially if you're playing an opponent like Paul
Morphy is quite willing to trade off material to outline, emphasize, maximize these other factors.
So trade offs in chess, when you trade off material for other factors, it's the same in chess for
the initiative.
The initiative is like having initiative is like having more time.
Sometimes you can trade that off for a winning caretake or some other advantage.
So getting these advantages means that you've got a bargaining chip.
You can actually trade off something else by here.
Material has been traded off to outline King safety issues in Black's possession and get this wonderful
smooth make pattern in the end.
OK, so we generally do want council only.
It can't be kind of reinforced enough as a general opening principle.
OK, and so much.
