Either in this election, we're going to have a look at Larsons opening, also sometimes called the
Nimsoft launched an attack.
So it's one of my favorite weapons of choice instead of 844 or the English opening, which is CIFOR,
you can play Be Free, a wild maverick move to try and get the opponent on their own resources and off
quite often found fantastic results with this with these unusual moves.
But Lawson, if you look him up, scored nearly 75 per cent with white with be free.
This was a much higher win percentage than his other more standard openings.
And he has a reasonable sample number of games of this.
And it's against world class obsession.
And we're not talking about bullets as we're talking about Classico one day chess.
So if it works for loss and I mean, it's a dangerous weapon of choice.
And also I covered actually Nakamura when he won the ICC open.
It's on YouTube.
If you want to find that Nakamura wins ICC open Kings Cross, there's over an hour and a half of example
games that you could just play for.
You know, if you want to have a look at that video for how to play, be free.
And also he played it, you know, B6 with black as well, and he was crushing grandmasters with it.
For me, it's a great point scorer because quite often there's pressure points, the Kingside and quite
often I play it in a certain attacking flavor like this where I can if I move my airport, I can move
my queen here or here and I'm off the meeting on G7 or getting really vicious attacks.
Certainly it's one of my big point scores with White.
I find that in general, the more you can get the opponents improvising, you find out the difference
between those players that have a really solid understanding of chess in terms of opening the game and
then game and those which may be spread too much time memorizing stuff.
You know, those guys that spend time memorizing stuff, they're your targets, especially if you play
Maverick, OK, things like B for a night C free or Jeoffrey had over 50 percent as well.
Banquo's opening Benko himself, Pål Benko, you know, beat talent Fisher with Jeoffrey.
So sometimes there's nothing wrong with these maverick moves.
They're actually quiet.
They're very, very interesting to to consider before is one of the most solid, unusual opening choices.
It's got the great thing.
You know, Ben Lawson behind it.
He was one of the strongest players in the Western world, along with Fisher.
OK, he did lose to Fisher s.L in the run up to Fisher, challenging Spassky in the nineteen seventy
two world championship match.
But nevertheless, you know, he's one of the greatest players in the West the at the time and before
he sold them extremely well.
So I have a few names rations to show you here.
So the modern ration e5 this tries to blunt the back up and what you can do is hit that pawn and play
a modest looking move here.
Believe it or not, you can play fres if you're playing almost a reverse Nîmes engine.
The so you're controlling key squares here.
And in fact the priority is just to pin potentially this night to say they played the five, then you
can get this pin and it looks like a reverse.
Them's the engine, the fans.
You're renewing the frats.
A bishop takes five.
So this is very, very interesting stuff.
So if Bishop desex, then they've interrupted the DFI -- and you complain to move C4.
And it leads to very, very interesting games indeed.
Also here after E3, if they play, might have sex then.
So after be free of to be free of E3 rather E3 if they play night of sex, hair or move free, then
we have Bishop B five here and let's say they defend the --.
This is one of the main moves that looks strange, but this one of the main moves.
I've played this for myself on a recommendation from my good friend and Teflon, but you still need
to know what you're doing after a free.
I later discovered because of this kind of frat's of nights before it's awkward, black actually theoretically
plays quite often, you know, a five that just purry that four out of ninety four.
So yeah, you need to know the theory of both sides.
It can be a really, really dangerous weapon of choice of the white pieces.
Let's go back and look at BFC with the classic Liberacion D5.
Now this way does your favor.
If your opponent has --'s on line squares, the adjacent squares, you can often grip them tighter
and you can even just play nice Afri.
And we're in a kind of Nîmes Olofsson territory.
Nîmes used to start games with knights and free.
The great acronyms of my system started games of my friend.
If they played the and also, you know, Vladimir Kramnik, you know, would often play no.
Our friend, if they play different play, be free because you're getting that nice thought.
Screengrab with --'s.
Online squares, that grip is, you know, unchallenged.
So that's a very interesting idea.
So basically, you know, be free DFI, you can just play this very solid position.
Move movements have free.
Now, if they play night after things, that's the called the Indian version named after like, you
know, using King's Indian names and, you know, ethics, the noncommittal in terms of a poor move
which Pomers irreversible, noncommittal lifesavings.
English is like a reverse English like the English version.
Dutch is like a Dutch defense against boofheads, the Dutch version.
Now ESX, you can actually transpose it here if they play D5, you can play a Reti gambit so this you
can get from a different move.
Or you know, when you play the French defense you can play a Ratti, but which is in the Gambit session,
if you sort of 846 be freed these five different move order.
And if they sat set the pawn and try to cling onto it so hard they get can get really in big, big trouble.
So that's why your transpositional knowledge actually comes in handy.
The more you know in terms of different things and different pawn structures, the more you can advantageously
transpose into stuff, you know?
So, yeah, if they play ESX like the French defense and then they play D5.
Yeah.
Bishop BE2 is a very, very exciting Rhatigan, but they might not have a clue about this possession
after 93.
So hopefully they do cling on to the pawn and you do blast them off.
The board at C6 is like if they like trying to like they have a favor for the correction setups, there
might be a correction plan.
So if I see Sang's that's fine.
You can still think Hatake Bishop you don't have to play this game here.
It's a bit unsound, but given they've got --'s on positionally, you can go back to positional play
and I'm not afraid just trying to intensify your dance.
Choire grap.
So this is, you know, potentially very nice.
You know, maybe every defoliated should be free.
And later if you have that stance quite a grip, you can even have a nine to five later an attack,
very, a very good prospect for anaesthetize.
So they might be cheeky and play the symmetrical variation.
Fine.
OK, the Polish fine.
Ninety six is a variant of the defense.
Fine.
But anyway there's a lot of be behind.
I certainly use it as one of my main weapons of choice, especially at the far the time Petrov's online
in Blitz, Blitz and Bullett.
So yeah, it's consistent with my own opening preferences and bias's this course.
So you know, that's why also there's a strong Taxco bias in this course.
I do want to make you guys tactical monsters in this course, even though it's because, of course,
I believe that's the fastest way you'll see the passion and the glory of chess if you become a tactical
monster from the mental game processes section in particular, and bolster that with the patterns,
the game patterns section.
And you have your basics, you know, covered in other sections and then but work your way outwards.
Those outer circles work with the beginner sections.
First, try and get a basic grounding in opening the game and then then later revisit these intermediate
sections.
But yeah, this is a great weapon of choice for me.
I felt, you know, because opponents are not, you know, especially those bookworms, those memorizers,
they think chess is all about memorizing opening theory because that's been hyped up by the chess industry.
It's not ready.
It's more about, for me, chess understanding.
If you understand the philosophies, especially the powerful philosophies which I've tried to put across
in various sections.
You know, for example, in the opening, put yourself beyond the people going onto the attack and the
basic principles that arise from that philosophy.
If you can see those philosophies and principles, you're in a much better position to be a strong maverick,
you know, like Bangalore's or Benko having fantastic results with unusual openings because you haven't
spent all your time memorizing, you know, opening ferry.
And there's a famous quote by Daniel King.
You know, he wish he hadn't spent so much time learning.
All the races are silly in my life.
And in fact, if you play the cell in the fans, there's so many anti caecilians for people wanting
to avoid opening Feri.
It sometimes makes this whole thing.
You do a lot of work in Chason with very little gain.
Sometimes you've really got to wait until you're at that level of competition where you need to have
sharper and sharper openings.
Even Bobby Fischer carried through the Kings Indian attack system with White.
You know, you know, avoiding a lot of opening very, you know, in the French, playing different
things in that system.
So Lawson, you know, he is a great example, one of those mavericks and the opening and his statistics
are phenomenal, basically to have nearly 75 percent win right over a decent sample of games, very
decent time control.
You know, that didn't exist that time.
It's it's just the great opening.
So if you want to find game examples, yeah.
There are two major sources that listen, have a look at them on chess.
Gamescom, go to space and have a look how he plays with the white pieces and be free to check out those
games.
And also, you know, the ICC, Nakamura winning the ICC Open Channel and the Kings Cross your channel.
So it's a very, very interesting thing I felt personally.
I got an informational advantage for sure, by studying those Nakamura games and also I you know, I
felt at every point interest you can learn more and more.
I should really myself be studying more of the last 10 games to see more perhaps the positional treatments.
And also, you know, Kramnik transposing into this, you know, via a free Vladimir Crumley, a former
world champion, playing this with great success in some games.
So it's a very, very formidable weapon.
Even if you want to play the Ratti opening to start off with nine Afri, which is the Ratti opening
named after its Ratti, you can transpose quite often into this.
So be aware of these powerful transitions between opening's and game is everything you learn is like
almost like transposed into each other and you want to get better versions of things sometimes.
So some regard this as a good version of events because if the opponent's putting pawns on like squares,
you're going to get that juicy dance going grab later.
OK, so be free.
Very, very interesting move.
I'll definitely recommend that for fun entertainment and learning about chess generally.
OK, that's very much.
