Hi there.
In this lecture, we see an amazing system called the Tory attack system.
So this is Colin Tory Repetto playing against Emmanuel Laska.
So the system is named after him and largely influenced by this key game because Emmanuel Lascher was
world chess champion at the time, so he beat Lascher with that tension.
Kellar The variation of the Tory attack was also used by its very Tanigawa, Boris Spassky, Tigran
Petrosian earlier in their careers.
So there's quite a lot of exponents.
So two of those are also, you know, world champions, Spassky, Boris Spassky, Instagram chasing
world champions.
So you're in good hands if you play this kind of system.
It starts with defo of the 1960 you play nine to free.
So nothing shocking is principles of central control.
Controlling the five score a bit more.
We see six in this particular game.
Carlos Torri plays Bishop G five.
So this differs from the London system.
Usually the London system.
Bishop goes to EFORE.
It's slightly more aggressive that relative pen can cause some annoyance to we seek five every seating's
884 seven might BD to desex Seefried.
So we have a kind of structure which could have been from a London system, except the bishop is here
rather than here, because quite often black will try things like this to undermine your pontine.
Your chain of pawns we see might be the seventh bishop differe.
So it's a good opening system starts nothing of this position with the WIP, he says.
We see Big Six and now ninety four is played Bishop seven queen to twenty seven.
So White's pieces are focused on central squares like eighty five.
You can see both lines focused.
We see White Castle and Kingside Black Consols Kingside good everyone so nice.
Central Control a principled opening.
If there's an arbitrary line between the opening in the middle game, I'd say just off the both sides.
Castle.
So after counseling, as a general rule, both sides putting themselves on the feet before active operations,
we can consider the active operations to be in the middle game in general.
So Rook FS1 Rook fifty eight we see Rook eighty one to bring in both rooks to the center x ring the
central squares.
Even though the spaces in between this is approaching an idealistic set up for central control.
We see Knights of Eight and now this bishop as she drops back ninety five and was the idea of putting
the knight there instead of replacing the use of the G5 square for a knight here trying to maybe tical
black interplaying a committal poor move pawns don't go backwards at the moment.
H7 sufficiently sufficiently defended by the knight on their feet.
So there's no real threat it seems on the eight seven pawn.
So we see five and it's light goes back.
So that's good position place before we see see tanks before namesake's before Queen I.
A very direct attack on HSM.
There are three attacking pieces on eight, seven and only two defending the king and nine.
So something has to be done.
Bishop sixty five is blind.
We see Bishop 65 and now 1963, 64, and now Queen five, there seems to be a very useful pen and annoying
against the queen on page five and it's also looking at one.
So this queen is not just pinning G5.
That's a relative pen.
It's against the queen.
It's relative, not an absolute pen.
So that means the bishop, you know, sometimes might actually be able to move with advantage even if
it's losing the queen.
Just bear that in mind.
Be open minded in chess.
But here, yeah, there's an issue to address with this rook as well.
So why actually plays before Collins plays, before hitting the queen with the queen and five if Queen
takes before then.
That's interesting as well.
It's actually playable.
Like to do this.
It's a plausible continuation.
Black would be actually OK there, but we have actually queen at five in the game and we see Rook Jeffrey
and the rook is actually enshrine the king here and now 86 six is played.
So things are getting very interesting here.
94, so not even moving.
Bishop, what if the bishop does move?
It does seem as though the queen is going to be lost.
Yeah.
So if we, like, took this pawn queen, thanks so nicely for his plate instead of our queen, the five
is played.
And you might wonder why can't Black take the mission?
Well, 1966 is actually rather good here.
It actually kind of -- multiple things.
The Queen, the bishop and F7.
So if Queen Jesus.
Queen 66, when 66 and later 67 when it has a small edge, so.
We have actually Queen Bee five being played and black still relying on this relative pin.
We see 93 and now Queen Bee five here and is something rather spectacular happens in this game, which
kind of immortalizes the game forever more as an absolutely marvelous, fantastic, powerful move played
in this position.
I wonder if you can spot it if I give you five seconds to pause video and try and work out what happens.
It's an absolutely brilliant combination.
OK, and I've kind of hinted that, you know, about these relative pens, the trouble relative pens
is that are not absolute.
Sometimes you need absoluteness.
I guarantee Goldenblatt rather ironclad guarantee that something is not going to happen with a relative
pen.
It's no guarantee the bishop might sometimes move.
That's my clue to you.
And in fact, here we see an absolutely brilliant combination.
So you two birds with one stone, I'm not just there was writing the opening.
I'm showing you a beautiful combination, which everyone should know anyway, which is Bishop Essex.
So offering the queen and we get her a seesaw attack, a seesaw check, rather mechanism.
Now, a seesaw check is really quite an amazing thing to behold.
So the queen is taken.
We have our first check taking out G7.
And now this is the way the seesaw check works.
You can actually take material and it's check.
So F7 is taken with Czech, but you're also moving the king back so you can actually check again.
So there's no end of these checks, it seems G seven Czech King and now Rook takes B seven Czech.
So all we've checked scooping up Plax material of the Kingsgate Brighty, seven Czech again King hate's
and believe it or not, White could have even taken the A7 pawn, but didn't on this occasion.
It was content with that amount of material.
But, you know, taking on is the most plausible, carrying on the see-saw checks, as they're called,
and then going for five.
But he actually goes for five immediately.
So this is Czech now.
So he's explored this Rahho and is exploring just winning the queen back.
So Ruggie five check and he wins the queen back.
This is not totally the end of the story.
The king comes out and -- WTS these two pieces, but white is material up already and doesn't mind
giving back a piece because white is up in --'s.
And at this level this is quite decisive.
Taking that Poorna makes sense leaves now winz free up the rook comes back we see check McCaffrey check
a frame A five B takes a five.
Rook takes a five like C for and we see here rootie five rook at four ninety seven and here off the
Route 66 tracking G5.
Jeffrey, this means that we will not be back for unmated, that would be called a swindell if you're
up in material and you get swindled.
It's a rather painful experience.
My tip, if you are swindled early on interest is just try and learn the lessons from your game.
If you kept a notation, just try and make it a scientific exercise.
So you've just done an experiment, one of several.
You're gaining insights and your focus should be on learning about chess rather than results anyway.
And initially in your career as a chess player, you should be enjoying the game.
Learning about the game results can come later as a nice side effect, a side effect of you improving
your understanding of chess in many of its aspects, particularly opening middle game, end game.
And within that there's loads of different fundamental angles and skills to master.
So don't worry if you get swindled of about chromate, but we should be aware of the back room issue.
Even our current world chess champion a few days ago from this video fell for a comment back from Høst
by her thankfully Pakkala story.
Repetto He actually played Jeoffrey avoiding a back room issue.
Just put it on the board.
Rookie Free Rook Byone is back from meeting.
This would be very, very unfortunate and spoiling the otherwise masterpiece of the game.
But Jeoffrey makes that if the king and protects the rock are very nifty move indeed.
And the rope supports Defoe.
So essentially the Swindell attempt has fouled and Laska doesn't even bother checking.
I mean, the king would just go to Geto and Black would be several points, down four points out.
So Luska just resigned at this point.
Some rumors are that Alaska may have been distracted for this game, but nevertheless, you know, it
takes mistake's for someone to win a game of chess.
So congratulations to Carlos tonight.
Repetto the Mexican grandmaster.
And this is the key game which, you know, got some popularity for this system if we go back in the
opening and focus on the opening moves.
So the key aspect is 93 and G5.
This sets up the Torrey system as distinct from other kind of family members like the London system
might be for the FCC frame.
Yeah, the college system would be with my friend Bishop Devery leaving the home.
So this family group has in common generally a solid pool structure for white, where generally white
and spawn's like this, this triangle.
So even on a chessboard, the triangles are a solid structure and its family members shares that trade
and dance go and grab control.
Generally, you're trying to grip the key squares, especially this five square, which is more central.
So that's a feature.
And White's Central Control, if you look at it, is very idealistic.
The pieces kind of do x-rite central squares, if not hit them directly.
Like the knights.
We see that we have the rooks kind of x raying through the other pieces, these key central squares.
If you look at the central squares of the chessboard, they're key in any opening and generally you
can even extend the center consideration outwards like this.
So not this one in particular, but, you know, you can extend it outwards to that.
The extended center is also thinking about all of its pieces are essentially acts ring.
You know, the extended center here.
Quite a lot of the extended center is being either directly attached.
You know, this is good central control as a basis for active operations later.
So this set up and yes, he gave himself a shot and he actually tried for a kind of direct attack.
And on this occasion, yeah, this rook left, which we see so many times can be so fatal against the
opponent.
When you lift up a rock, it's a heavy piece, is a major piece.
So remember, these are the major pieces.
These are the minor pieces, minor and Greene major, the major rock heavies coming off X ranges.
And here, yeah, there's interesting possibilities of like tanks here.
So that was great.
But then again, with tempo hitting the queen and stopping the queen from using a five and all this
brilliant, marvelous idea, Bushmasters, so kind of see-saw check mechanism.
So also to one, in this lecture you learn a bit about the sea.
So check you learn a bit about Carlos Tor bit of culture and you learn about his legacy.
So when a player leaves a legacy like especially a system which is taken up by world chess, champion
costarring will be remembered by the chess world.
So a fantastic game win against Emmanuel Laska.
And that's a way to make a name for yourself.
Beat World Champion a grandmaster one day, I'm sure you will with this course especially.
So these are the steps.
But this is this game demonstrates a few things.
But yeah, if you want to try out the Tory system.
Yeah.
DeFore the key moves a free and bishop defined characterizes the tourist system as distinct from the
London system, which is on F4 or the college system, which is leaving the bishop behind on C one for
later.
OK, I enjoyed that track.
The system sometimes had so much.
