Hi there.
In this lecture, I want to introduce you to the king's engine attack system.
Now, the King's Indian attack system can actually be used to save you a great deal of time learning
opening theory.
So, for example, if E4 and you can start with E4 if you want to get into the king's attack set, if
they play the French defense, this is the French defense.
You can actually adopt a King's Indian attack set up by playing defrayed.
This was a favorite method, in fact, of Bobby Fischer, especially against the French defense.
So we see, for example, D5 92, 95 cents an hour, Jeoffrey.
So you're thing Kettering, your bishop, C5 Bishop Geto, 96, like Jeffrey Bishop is seven and let's
say both sides.
Castle Now, what would be the point of doing this kind of setup?
Doesn't it look a little bit modest?
The thing is, you can get a nice grip on the center pretty soon.
In fact, in fact, here you establish a nice aggressive pawn on A5.
And one of the principal ideas, in my view, is the kind of overprotect this pawn.
So there was a great writer acronyms, Vetch, which talked about overprotecting E5 in particular,
when the opponent Consols Kingside and you overprotect to Central Point like this often creates great
attacking opportunities.
So here, rookie one B5 Meitav one, blacks trying to create some counterplay on the queen side.
So is the term used when you're trying to do something aggressive and like trying to create a way of
them having some winning property in the game as well instead of just defending passively.
So this is a bit of Queensland counterplay now as it happens, this is from the game, Bobby Fischer
against my Merson, and it's one of my favorite games of Bobby Fischer.
It's a wonderful combination in it.
So I fought two birds with one stone.
Time is precious.
So it's like on a game.
But I want to show you anyway to inspire your chess and your tactics.
So the King's Indian attack system, although it seems kind of modest, has got a lot of latent power
and energy, like a cold spring, just ready to come out later.
This energy, we see age for a five billion air force.
You can see this reinforcement of this 85 square.
This is a typical characteristic of the Kensington attack.
A form, a free pressure knocks down the queen.
Saipan's stopping this in its tracks.
At a four point twenty five, we see 93, 86, H3, 84.
I'm not going to go too much into the details of the game.
It's just just one example of what could happen after essentially the opening.
The opening phase is just the first few moves, by the way.
We're well into a mental game now that moves seventeen.
If you don't know where the opening kind of ended and the mental game started, I'd say as soon as when
you play a system, as soon as the setup is complete, that's kind of the end of the opening system.
So, you know, if we go back to maybe seven, when both sides are concerned, this is kind of the start
position.
This is where kind of thing.
And it's an arbitrary divide between opening little game and then game.
It's really kind of arbitrary divide.
But one thing to be aware of when you learn opening's it's good to have the so-called STEM games.
These are model gains of the model games that you have some basic ideas of how you play the little game
and even some of the resulting in games, which might happen in terms of at least pawn structure.
The general gist of the middle and end game will give you more reassurance, you just not having to
make everything up as you go along.
So anyway, this is kind of where the opening ended.
So we get this middle game plan.
It's kind of a middle game plan of reinforcement of the A5 form.
So let's go back to where we were.
So we have this situation where black now is tempted for these four pawns don't go backwards and black
has weakened the force quite a hand.
So Fisher is about to use some of these ideas like that.
We can e Four-Square like G5 down in space.
So we see the bishop dropping back.
Bishop Thanks, Bishop.
Things Queenie some Naquin H5.
So normally this might be a bad idea if the Queen can be evicted easily here, because we've got that
central problem, which we have a luxury situation where literally we're putting out call it, we're
putting our best resources like on Queen near the palace.
King Queen is our top scorer in chess.
And in fact, when I won the junior tournament back in 1989, a long time ago, that was one of my guiding
principles during games which gave me confidence.
I basically said to myself, well, how do I use my best resources around the opponents?
King and it really helped me create some amazing attacking games.
So here the qualifier is it's difficult to even evict the queen here.
It's difficult to project that queen from the attacking area.
So there are less downsides than usual in this approach because of that, because of the central pawn,
which in particular so Rook FC eight ninety two, the central pawn, which means that, you know, for
example, not have sex is not possible to kick the queen away.
So ninety three was play Bishop FCX a very interesting move.
I don't really want to get into the technicalities of it too much.
I would like to show you the final combination of the game, but this is absolutely brilliant move.
I know the bishop can be taken, but let's just go with.
The flow of the game for a moment, Quesne eight platform, it was far too risky in a nutshell, though,
if you if this did happen, things get super dangerous usually when you have the so-called form --.
Poor Paul, sex is like a form born around the king, like a go hanging form.
And already we've got our top scorer of the queen near the king.
So, you know, one example of why this is, you know, really dangerous, say Queen Ice Queen, G5
Chac and all of a sudden it's checkmate.
That's just one example.
Or here, you know, queen.
Yes.
It's a dangerous situation with that form.
Form for sure.
So it was a gold Quiney eight now.
Ninety four to six.
Kwangju five nights EFO rotates economic force of blacks trying to get this Queensland counterplay.
You can expect that if you play the King's Indian attack that opponent's going to try and gain space
and can't play on the queen side because you're essentially playing on the Kingside this side of the
boat.
You're having a lot of action.
So they're trying to generate cousins playing on queen side.
It's logical and this is classic, you know, classic fascher game that we're about to see H5 see takes.
And now Fisher actually doesn't recaptcha.
This is one of the beauties of chess.
Sometimes you don't have to do an automatic recaptcha.
You have to trade off sometimes material and it gives you more options if you have that consideration
that you can actually trade off material for other factors here.
We don't have to recapture because king safety.
We want to put all our energy no wasted, most optimal.
Just go for the king.
And Fisher does that for very dangerous rukeyser's.
We see Bishop G to detect Seeto.
So why is Fascher sacrifice these pawns?
Well, we're about to see Queen six this Frattini's Chameides on G7.
And to me this is a very beautiful Fisher combination.
Now we're about to witness of the Queen Efate.
So here I'm going to test your tactics.
And I have tested students that done personal coaching with this position many times.
Many times.
It's a very joyful position to work out what happens in my view.
So why not play it and win?
What would you play here if I give you five seconds to pause video?
OK, you want to prioritize the forcing moves always, so check all checks or captures checking threats
of making one or two, if you check all checks, even the totally outrageous ones, this gives you,
again, that high resolution on the chessboard.
You want to be like one of those high resolution monitors, super expensive.
To do that, you need to sometimes consider even the most outrageous possibilities.
Consider moves which are not just auto recaptures, anything automatic you might be addicted to if you
play too many fast games of chance.
But in the long game of chess, you want to try and be aware of all the amazing options on the chess
board.
And here there's a really amazing option if you check all channels.
And that is, I hope if you want to play the video again, try and work it out to the end.
If you can work out to the end, it's going to benefit your your visualization of chess positions like
home and, you know, visualizing on sailing.
If you've seen the Netflix series, your visualization and training is improved.
If you can work out from this position to the end, it's Quintet's Eighty-seven Check.
And the game actually ended here because if King takes one version of the game, could the houseguests
check?
And if the King steps back, then it's checkmate.
If the king steps forward, then we actually use that a square which was weakened earlier and we played
before.
And that is checkmate.
You see that the bishops this is checkmating.
This is controlling Kidscape squares.
This is controlling Yoskowitz cause that is actually checkmate to me.
This is one of the more beautiful Bobby Fischer games and in fact, the Kings InGen attack, even though
it's a modest open without you having to memorize lots of opening ferrey.
These are highly celebrated games official like this one, highly celebrated and collected game.
So if you can create beautiful works of art like this game with the Kings in an attack against the French
defense, then that's great.
And also, I've got good news for you.
One, if it's not just the French defense, you might say, well, King's question, what if I want
to play this set up?
And it wasn't the French defense?
Well, actually, you can in fact, you can even change the move order.
The essential thing about system is the set up.
You can get to the set up in different move orders.
You can start with not afraid.
And that actually stops a fire, but sometimes you really want to welcome a five herit stop.
You know, you take if they played D5, the thing is, this is a kings' engine attack sets up, but
black might also be able to get a kind of London system in reverse, which is a bit of a pain because
that's so solid.
So in order to avoid the London system in reverse, this is essentially along the system in reverse
triangle, if you think about it.
But outside the -- chain, that's why if you're sneaky with your move order, you can have this kings
and you can set up with that, I mean, to have this solid rock in the center against your finger.
So sometimes the King's Indian attack, especially by Bobby Fischer, was sneakily played as part of
one E4 So this is kind of more profound kind of trap on your opponents that they play the French defense
and they might be expecting you to engage them with the latest French defense opening ferry.
But instead you played the free the King's Indian attack system.
So.
Yeah, that they're not in a position to be that boring, the bishop is stuck in its -- chain, you
know, boring, as solid as in London.
Did I say boring?
London has the reputation of being boring, but really, you know, because I hate playing against them,
I sometimes I'm derogatory about the system, but it is highly recommend to everyone at all levels as
a stand by opening up anyway to avoid the London system of black against your precious king's into the
tank set up here.
Yeah, you can wait for the French defense.
You can you can consider this set up against the coracle as well.
Of course.
I mean, you could consider against the Karakol.
You know, it's it's not there's no big refutation of your play here.
If they could even think Catoe as an example and you have a decent position to start off the game.
So the essential aspect is it's a thin cutout of the bishop of Chatto, they prefer to call it that,
but the Italians more usually say Ketso like Careto.
Yeah, I've been told off about that for years.
OK, so think Catoe of the Bishop and this kind of structure where sometimes you do play for E5 and
reinforce F5.
It's a very, very nice set up.
I'd recommend it in my opening's course where I've talked in detail about systems, also openings in
general.
And Gamma's is one of my top 10 recommendations for systems and it's got the approval of Bobby Fischer.
So worth checking out and exploring.
OK, that's so much.
