Hi there.
In this lecture, we're going to have a look at the album Counts Met.
So this has been one of my favorites in Blechacz over the years.
And you can see my Alvin comes a playlist on YouTube for free.
So DeFore, you play D5 after CIFOR, you play an outrageous looking move.
E5 I've had a huge amount of fun with this.
I've sometimes been flams and even Jem's Implats with this of the details default.
I have an example game for you from the world of correspondence chess, which is sometimes more evidence.
There's really something of substance here to investigate or try out your own games, especially for
your more casual games.
Playing gambits is not only fun and entertaining, it's also pretty instructive and can ramp up your
tactical abilities as your pieces have more scope and activity generally.
So here we see night have free nights, he says.
This is the game Frantisek Sigatoka against Milan spel in 1993 Czechoslovakia corresponds Tilghman's
We see Jeoffrey and Black plays FDX so not trying to regain the pawn on E5 And this is one of my favorite
treatments of playing the album.
Can't commit to accelerate a.
That's a familiar pattern you might see also from the Smith Murugappa.
So maybe I have certain themes.
Will I play games like accelerate a little bit development like a knights being accelerated at the cost
of a pawn, the trade offs here on the chessboard.
Sometimes you're trading off material for other things like extra developments, semi open files.
There's a foul.
Here is a foul, which can often prove dangerous things one way roads.
We also have a similar foul here as well.
OK, so Bishop Jita, we have Bishop G for being played in this game, White Castles, Queen seven.
So a very direct method sometimes to change off the finger to a bishop to try for an attack might be
to Bishop even Avery A5 stopping before from White.
If we consider too quickly on the queen side, then this can favor whites potentially with the pressure
and B5.
Yeah, whites getting a big influence over the board hand with a nice advantage.
So A5 stops before we see might be free.
Rook dates are not actually committing the king to the queen side, trying to just add support to the
defo pawn.
Bishop four are now actually castling Kingside Queene one and now five that semi.
And because there's no pawn EFO means that this road creates direct threats like on the bishop.
We have 95, 96.
Bishop takes a number of six and it seems as though hasn't Black neglected the B seven pawn after this
exchange isn't B seven on Y2K, but this is actually a mistake.
Why shouldn't have taken this?
And we're going to see why of the rook officiates.
Looking at Itou Now Freers played Bishop Afri.
We're just going to take that bishop and that pawn is Pinza, the queen.
So thanks very much, Prince.
The Queen can't do that as white.
So we have everything.
And this closes off that bishop from returning, that is.
But we have Bishop free now and black is actually much better off.
This Bishop Maytree, we have have two and now differing before and now see sex asking especially when
are you going or are you going to be protected.
We have 95 percent hitting the queen, but now the two is played queen day one, if we look at these
exchanges, had they, they'll favor black after nine days.
We take the queen with check and we take a hair, maybe with the bishop.
Thanks very much.
Piss up.
So we have actually queenly one, but our queen before hitting that night, whites in a world of trouble
here of the 96 sex queen bee sex, the bishop's traps, it gives itself up her --.
So White does have a few pawns here for the peace.
That is one thing with gambits they can leave you sometimes in and games, which are difficult because
you've lost quite a few pounds earlier on.
So night takes, the two is played.
Can Black prove the extra piece is worth more than the pawns we have.
Quincy five Quincy to Rotty seven.
Ramping up the pressure on Diffa through doubling Rook seems like a good idea in principle.
Quincy free with a positional threat of before to make these like, you know kind of connected passports
so black stops that with the some feature of chess.
We can stop that.
But before it's played anyway, it takes the pawns of more fragmented than they would have been.
The Queen maintains that nice pen.
It's always useful sometimes in general to pin the opponents pieces.
Absolutely to the King C5 Unpegging Rook 88 doubling the Brooks gives us Kellar common squares to play
with.
Like these four in particular.
Could be nice looking at the Queen tonight we have Rudy to parrying that Defoe Rook takes nine takes
and now we're looking at the see five point look see 197 ganging up on C five let me free now Queen
takes a free C six but now check 94 95 and there's a big fat in this position.
Can you see what black is thing.
If White did say play C seven, I hope you can see what the is here.
If C seven, what would you play with black in this position.
Check all your checks.
OK.
You would have to pause video, so this wasn't played because you would have this check and I know it
takes every so White Stripes, Queen C5, but now Queen Bee ain't and we have Queen Seefried.
If C seven had 10, black has Queen Bee two, which looks at that very sensitive G2 square to try and
mate, that's unpleasant.
And, you know, that's that's actually rather tricky because that tactic we saw before is coming in.
If you know proxy, we have hope you can spot it.
We have that tactic before Queen 64, Jack.
And in 93.
So Queen Sifry has played we have queen bee sex change one, but now Black is getting that --.
Yeah, it was difficult for white.
It was very difficult for white in this position to kind of maintain the status quo.
So OK, so King H1 96, we have Czech queen bee free if instead of Czech if 98 C6.
So the point here is it looks as though White was actually protecting that.
Right.
What was the matter with this king's question?
What was the matter with this.
Well, Queen F to that G2 is very sensitive here.
If 97 Czech King here and if Czech King takes 87, why is left in a position which is lost.
If the rook takes then queen if one is checkmate.
So yeah, the king is actually in a bad state here.
Let's look at that again because of G2.
Yeah.
So if Ruggie won, then, in fact, there's a tactic here, tactics are really important, as I've emphasized
so many times, but what is the tactic here which destroys the opposition in a brutal manner if I give
you five cents?
And what would you play with black in this position?
OK, there's the deflective move sacrifice rooked C6 to the flag, the queen away from Afri.
So even if the queen takes, then Mindscape mated, takes every queen, takes G2.
So, yeah, what is what does it do that check these checks.
Ronnell seem guarded by the bishop.
So OK, so yes.
Quite brutal.
1996 brutal.
We have queen bee free jack queen takes 96 of the Ruby eight white resigned.
White is essentially a peace down for just two pawns.
The bishop covers C8 several times rotates.
There's no roxxy ain't white, perhaps goes back and you know, blacks just essentially a piece up.
And that's quite easy to play in that position at this level to win.
So, yeah, very, very interesting game showing that there is substance to the Albon count gambit.
We can see, especially if we check the garments with cynicism.
If you find that there are actually correspondence schemes which the as one in correspondence games,
players have days, weeks, sometimes months to think about their moves if they can work at that level,
that scalability of chess in terms of accuracy, then there's something going for the government.
It's creating a sufficient level of originality away from the mainlines, excitement, peace activity,
potential for winning generally if the opponent makes small mistakes and if you're there, especially
with your strongest tactics available at correspondents, you're really seeing that trade off of the
material invested, the pawn for the peace activity, the dynamics of the game.
So if it can work, it corresponds.
It's probably worth a punt in our online blitz games, at least even, you know, maybe are over the
ball game sometimes.
And I have played over the board with such success as well.
OK, I'll counts.
It is actually also Paul Karass apparently wasn't an opponent of some of these games.
Let's trying the album.
Can't get it on occasion as well.
A very, very famous player and yeah, very, very exciting indeed.
Mauro's, which is not a modern grandmaster who won one of the world's best monsters.
He has played the album, counts very serious over the Boltzmann's as well with some success.
All right.
And so much.
