Hi there in this introductory lecture, I want to discuss in particular what happens when you play a
number of Gamage, you often get to lose a pawn and you won't think, what is the trade off there when
you lose a pawn?
Well, for example, in the Smith Moore gambit, we lose a pawn and we get.
Sharing of the cell phone instead of black having just the same phone, we're sharing that cell phone
and our loss of a pawn here means we've got that same phone to play with as well.
So we've got more pressure and we've got a slight lead in developments as well.
And it's these factors which make this gambit pretty playable, definitely at the club level and a very,
very dangerous one as such.
And many people are now frightened of, for example, the speth more a government and off to see free
play move like night of sex.
And you need to know what you're doing here.
So they're kind of declining it.
So we end up transposing into potentially a sea free sitting and the Olympian version.
So the key point of that example as an example is look at what's happening to the semi finals.
You might wonder, well, what's the big deal about summer and fall if we look at another one?
Another example came at the Danish government.
So if I default and see free and if they take you take care of, the big deal is there is this summer
and fall here that we've got.
It's dangerous.
It's like one way traffic were black, potentially is losing some options.
You've got an extra in the queen.
So sometimes there are options to exploit this fact.
And phones are pretty dangerous and also sometimes a missing pawn from a game.
But if we look at the stones in Yemen as an example, can actually lead to exile in its own right.
When we not only get a particular a different segment on this occasion, but because the F two point
is thing later, quite often Queene once a fool becomes an option for an attack, you know, for example,
like this, what we can get an attacking position built up quite easily sometimes on the opponents.
King, if they cancel, sometimes we've got the right attacking approaches with the queen, mostly part
294.
So the absence of the airport is not just on this occasion a shared fault with the Dutch defence Akashat
fault.
But we've got semi open file here on this occasion.
So that's a two way street.
And this is a one way kind of street where we've lost phone line, but we've got pressure there.
But also, yeah, it allows our queen to bounce e one.
That's the important characteristic of certain gambits.
If it's an F pawn, you lose that balancing effect in the black team.
Again, as an example, if the form D5 and you play this Black Montezuma comment with Mitzy free and
you lose the airport.
Yeah, it's not just the act of having a smart phone here.
So unlike the Dutch, it's not Ashad phone, it's a semi open phone.
So it's like a one way road.
You can also bounce your queen via Iwon.
So for example, if they play passively.
Yeah, then you can see that you can get, you know, quite an aggressive position with queening one
bouncing ball that diagonal.
So it's not just that we've got some info with that missing call and sometimes this tidelands also kind
of nifty.
So look out for that as well.
Where where you lose a pawn, you've kind of liberated potential peace movements.
So and it gives you also a lead environment.
So you're trading off a little bit of material pawn to get a lead environment, sometimes an extra pressure,
which can be in the form of fouls, but also extra tactical operations, which you wouldn't have had
because that pawn is missing.
So gamers are really, really fascinating.
And in your early stages of chess developments, they offer a great, great way of you getting pretty
exciting positions.
And even, you know, the king's gambit, you might think, is one sound you might have heard it's on
sound, but actually, you know, it can lead to pretty amazing games.
And even at the super grandmaster level, Nakamura, in a one day, you know, that game managed to
beat Michael Adams, one of the leading British player at the time with the Kings game.
So it does have venom, even though it might be from the romance era of chess and computers might think
it's unsound.
It's these are lurking dangers that especially if you can get the form back, you've essentially got
this summer and fall.
So targets on the F four if you can get the form back and the.
Kingsgate is also pretty interesting,
so the Queen's Gambit is the sounds of all really black can do a lot of damage if they do try and take
the opponent and hold onto it.
So and if they if they do that also, you know, sometimes if they don't do too much damage, you've
still got a semi cifas pressure.
Later, after they say, can you say you regain the form, they let you regain the pawn.
You've got this semi I can see far, which can be annoying.
Hair bearing down.
So essentially what I wanted to say with this very brief overview is, look how you know for these lines
that are more open than before, especially those semi open files where you've got a missing -- and
you've got this piece pressure that can become very, very handy to have extra piece activity for your
tactics.
As you get better tactics, these gamers really can become huge, formidable weapons.
So bear in mind.
Michael Steele has written, you know, the poems on the fundamental constraints on pieces of the also
your pieces are constraining your pieces, but quite often it's the pawns.
And when you play government, you're making the game more open.
So if you're making the game more open, there's less constraint on your pieces.
And hopefully you see some of the power of these governments.
For the example games I will show you.
OK, that's a much.
