Hi there in Atlanta, I'm going to show you the English opening, in particular the bottleneck system.
So it's named after back home Mikahil Bottleneck, and he was a world champion for a number of years.
He's like part of the Soviet CESCO.
He was a teacher of Garry Kasparov, Anatoly Karpov, and on the Russian super grandmaster stance.
So Michele Bachmann take plays C4 in this particular game against Vitaly Sergeyevich Kabakov in the
1955 just saw championship.
So we might have six Mitzy Free G six Jeoffrey.
So the English opening in general is about controlling D5 You won't think that's going to help control
D5 You're keeping that line clear for the moment.
You haven't played it before.
You have a clear view of the D5 squad.
It's very positional.
If we talk about openings in general.
Just to recap, opening in general wants to try and control four key squares.
The English opening satisfied that a kind of less forensically intense manner and pretty direct.
And in fact, Andrew Webster, who became an international master when I was participating in a gentleman's,
I had to play the great Michael Adams, who became one of the top players ever in the UK, and he was
saying to me, I should play the English opening.
I remember that day I still got matched by Adams.
But it is an interesting opening, which means you don't need to know so much opening theory.
So it's something you might want to try out from time to time.
So this is the start position.
The bulk billing system in particular is now an E4.
In fact, you're blocking the view deliberately of the special.
Is there a method to the madness here?
It all depends on the follow ups that you have in mind.
Justify it to yourself.
First, look at example games.
Be convinced, have conviction, look at BOTTOMLY games or other people using this public system to
get those steam games.
There's example games which will feed your middle game and game understanding of what the form is after
this.
But here we're going to see a classic idea Ninety-two.
We've kept the form free.
We haven't blocked the form like with Knight Afri.
We've kept it that we can use the airborn.
Later this morning, we can use the afternoon pretty soon, so 90 to 85 now counseling, so white has
got a pleasant position.
This position is a plausible position.
If you reach it, you've actually got a slight advantage.
You've done nothing really fundamentally wrong.
You've only structurally conceded the default Four-Square.
This is the downside you have to accept.
Employing public system, we see might be some different 95.
And now using that perk they have employee upon to play efore you're actually going to gain space on
the Kingside.
We see C6 age H3 96 and now F5 gaining space 94 and now G4.
I absolutely love this kind of thing.
The idea of Nigeriens is squishing is an ideal.
As I saw once from an Anatoly Karpov game, I fell in love with so much Jeoffrey and just Squaresville
G5 is a pleasant idea.
Sometimes you want to play not very fast, but there are other options as well.
We see ninety eight e3 a6 cloyingly two.
We see black transgenics some Queensland counterplay here.
Bishop J5.
We see things when it takes off that bishop meetings and then a in place 964 18, so the black pawns
have been doubled nightly to we see Quimby's six, see tanks, eight tanks, and now Queen eight six.
We've got our top scorer, the queen, nearly pounds king.
It does satisfy my use your best resources around squares around the King motto, which won me some
torments when I was a junior.
So best resource.
Your Queen, your top scorer near the King.
Special conditions about this position to make that even more effective.
Without too many downsides.
The Queen is difficult to evict the dance because they've already been weakened around the king because
we exchanged of blacks think.
And so Bishop, quite often that leaves behind these dance our weaknesses.
Logically, that's a quite common strategy in chess.
If you want to weaken a set of squares, take away the guardian bishop of that color complex.
It's called that to a color complex.
So the dance courts have been weakened around the king.
We see Bishop D7 and in fact her wants to try and get some support for the queen.
Ideally, if you imagine the pawn on have sex, then Queen is a movie Checkmate.
So G5 trying to get a pawn, very dangerous pawn on have sex my age five now here.
If F six is played, a major you might think is an Stenger's, but not entirely, not entirely F six
wasn't played immediately, the night actually controls G-7.
So this is not actually frightening checkmate because takes so actually make out.
But when it plays night after he wants to get rid of that night first to make this whole idea much more
effective and blacks in big trouble.
Black Friday night G7 if takes for Rook takes effort.
Why has that huge frat's now of f sex and f f sex from black F.
Thanks G since this is really quite crushing once getting a huge advantage.
As one example, if I just take a stand that is checkmates like this, Black's king is getting Looma
mated.
So anyway, we seem like G7 and now have sex and the game actually ended here because how does black
stop this checkmate.
If Knights ain't OK, that stops checkmate.
Yes, for the moment, but there is another way of terminating her, Black's position is very, very
passive.
It's kind of disconnected.
If you look at this position, there is a very, very key idea in this position, which is beautiful
and with tempo.
So actually gain the tempo here.
I wonder if you can spot it if I give you five seconds to pause for the.
It's a little bit advanced, actually, it's 95, it's attacking the queen and that the queen moves,
there's 97 check.
And if the king moves, it leaves behind the witness who lost both, at least behind Efate.
So this move is crushing because if it takes we've actually also vacated now the force where we can
play Rokan for France, Brooke, 84, to help the queen mate on 87 instead of G seven, eight, seven.
So the big fat is brocades for what can do about this one?
Not much, actually.
Any time the night moves, we're going to it's going to be meeting with Queen Elizabeth.
And I can't move the night's blocking in the rock.
So the road can't move.
The king can't move because the king's being blocked in the rook.
This is major congestion charges.
So the only thing black could do here is Bishop G4.
We just this is a delay move.
You know, it's just delaying.
This is just desperate.
We can just even just ignore that.
Let let them take the rook.
This is just aspirin's.
We just take that and we renew now queen dissemblers, make friends and Queen Eighty-seven doesn't make
friends.
The only desperate thing they can do is this.
And then they get checkmated.
So in this game we see a basic attacking plan resulting from the English opening, but the bulk billing
system.
So there is method to the madness.
In other words, if you know some of the amazing situations, this has an upside.
So basically avalanching on the kingside like this.
It's it's a really cool thing.
So I thought this is a really cool game example of the bulk billing system.
Black could have played better moves, obviously, but that's chess.
You know, it relies on states for one side to win.
Someone needs to make a mistake somewhere.
So in this position, it seemed as though, you know, there could be difficulties ahead in this scenario
when the knights actually talking on eyes of the SS, not 96, because then we would just eliminate
the defender of G7 and then like Wingy seven Charmings.
But by going to eight, well, the game actually ended half six because Black must have seen this.
95 is an absolutely crushing blow in this position, tactical crushing blow, leaving black with very
limited reply options because the Queen's attacked.
So this whole thing, it seems like magic does that.
But the more you practice calculating, forcing variations, when it's very limited replies, you can
see deeper in the position.
And the more you see deeper recession, more you challenge yourself.
Maybe with some daily puzzles that you try and get 100 percent correct, the more your visualization
abilities really improve.
And by the way, in your chessboards, I you might wonder how what Color Square is on eight, by the
way.
You know, you can work that out if we have lights on the right.
We know that like squares here and we think about the diagonal to eight is like a light square bishop,
isn't it?
So in your mind's eye, how long psych each one is always going to be a line square.
I you know, from the perspective, we're always going to like square dance.
Well, they won because of dance membership dance going on actually.
So get visualization training from looking at games like this.
So this seems like a really tricky thing.
I've just tested you and want to move here.
It is rather subtle, but it is kind of forcing.
There are only limited replies from Black and the park, the little website that vacating that square.
It's an amazing little treat to locate that square for the rock left.
These are often devastating.
They they find that crushing blow right in the middle.
So there's no end game for the opponent there.
The player is just wiped out in the middle of this.
Look out for.
Yeah, I mean, we could even just take the rook here.
Oh yeah.
And just not bother not doing anything now against this queen takes a seven maiffret.
There's just, you know, something supported by the queen, so it's a crushing game example, and fundamentally
you have the voting system.
Think about the voting system.
It could go in your repertoire.
All of these systems mentioned on this course, all of the systems could be part of your varied repertoire
and getting experience and different point structures, experience and different power structures.
And where the kings are and the relative plans is going to be a good thing for your chess experience.
So the bulk billing system, Putin's Russia does have some perks.
They can run with the airports sometimes.
So it's one of my favorite squash plans and chess from the public system.
I've won many games of it myself, so I hope you enjoyed this game.
Example to make you crush your opponents on the king side with the volcanic system occasionally when
you're in the mood.
OK, and so much.
