Hi there.
In this, we're going to have a look at the so-called Benko Guimet.
So when you're playing with the black pieces and your opponents played for, you might want to play
my upsets.
And after CIFOR, you might want to play Seifi to enter here into a highly respectable gambit, especially
for online purchases at the time.
Charles, this is a gambit which is going to sometimes give you good pressure and long term Queensland
pressure in particular.
So this model game, this kind of advert to peak your interest for playing This is the game, Andrew
Winley against Michael Waldor.
I saw this actually in 1987 when I played them most my masters.
It was on the demo board.
I thought it was a really, really exciting game being played by the American grandmaster with the black
pieces.
Michael Wylder against Andrew Won in International Master.
So we see has see takes be five ASX and this game, it was accepted.
And hey, you don't have to take a majorly when ASX might want to play it delayed that now it took on
ASX.
Lefranc We see desex Jeoffrey.
So what was black actually got for the pawn.
Well a feature, a common feature of all these games is sometimes well a relatively common feature of
most of these candidates.
This let's not be too definite about it, is you get a semi open file and files that a one way road.
You want your cars going to the opponent's position without cars coming back.
It's like a one way road or motorway.
And we see how this this seems already, you know, quite a comfortable position for black.
If they accept the game, it you have a lot of pressure.
There's no bad pieces essentially in the black position.
And we can see, you know, we've Rukeyser's rookie one might be six, he four, 1957 Black has this
nice long range bishop.
And it seems, you know, this counterpart, Bishop is a little bit on the passive side.
We see Bishop AF1 here.
You know, it's an interesting rich position.
If, for example, King aged two nights before is interesting.
For example, hair queen, a five, and they're already friends, like might be two potentially.
And Bishopsgate Siegfried's undermine that night.
So here, for example, you know, this possession is getting tricky.
Well, you can see that one way road, that one way motorway is being expressed.
Look at all of this pressure being exerted by these pieces in this variation.
And eventually that can result in getting back your pawn with huge interest, you know, a reasonable
week, perhaps getting a big advantage there.
So anyway, White tries to simplify with one, black obliges.
King takes it now, Queen eight, Quincy to Rook be eight rakita.
So here I mean, this is a tricky position.
My rookie to played, you might think, well what about the free here.
But Black can try and see for for example, this possession and get that C five square.
There seems to be enough compensation if ninety three and if we get a bishop of our counterpart look
out for that.
When you have a better way accountable, you know things happen.
For example, this position Bishop saying see for at the right time make a four ouch.
-- Queen and rook as an example.
So rookie to white has to tread carefully.
We see 94, 96 rotations.
We see a free black and claim at this point enough compensation, there's enough compensation to claim
equality, in fact.
So create a sense if you look at the passivity of this bishop compared to this one in particular, you
know, this is what may be instead, sometimes when I play instruments, I do look around.
And if I do see something exciting, I have maybe look at the database.
After what happens, I maybe try out in my own games.
So these things kind of spread, these ideas spread.
So my interest in the bank.
OK, yeah.
As a result of this particular game and now showing you in this, in this course, it's all from that.
You know, I'm a bit of a wanderer sometimes when I was playing in these homes.
I wouldn't recommend that totally.
Sometimes you do need to be totally immersed in your own game and not look at what's happening around
the tournament venue, by the way.
But sometimes you can pick up interesting ideas.
Rugby one, we have eight, six, be free.
This is a mistake.
No Black plays Sifry and in fact, of the before rotates every you know, black is doing absolutely
fine, has regained the form and in fact now has this dangerous form.
Why it was perhaps hoping to entrench a night into C6, not believing perhaps Black's next move.
Sometimes in principle you don't want to give up the fan.
Cazzo Bishop was the.
My weaknesses, but it does exactly that in this particular circumstance, these thoughts.
My weaknesses are not entirely exploitable in chess.
A weakness is only a weakness.
If it's actually exploitable.
It's a theoretical no dance to our weaknesses here.
And in fact, the bigger thing is the Seiple.
We see Quincy full with tempo, driving the bishop away anyway, or at least asking why to tactically
protect us.
So that can't be taken because the queen will be hanging.
So we have Rosea now saying I'm, you know, move your rook wrote Die Free, but then we have 95 bishop
takes.
Yeah.
Once had enough hair of this position.
So it takes only five detainees rookie free.
We have rook to Quincy one and the passport is pushed.
So yeah, this is another glorious, very, very biased adver.
I'm showing you the Benko gambit.
Very, very biased.
You want to do your own research, though, with with opening databases, find other example games,
model games, usually on, you know, most the games played between ideally, you know, types of players
that am gems.
So this is actually a time to play a game, though, to be Fair Work one.
So we have here the pawn queening.
So blankest winning.
Now there is this passport to deal with Quinlivan and we have Queene one, OK, with a five and now
the queen goes to a one causing trouble and how this battery is set up.
So with a battery, this arrangement, this is an example of the battery.
We're getting access to kill a common squares by default, like G1 in particular.
Each one we have King coming out, Roxxy to King for an hour of the routine's F2.
Waits for in the town White resigned, Michael Wilder was playing to win with the black, he says he
employed a gambit and in fact, in 1997 in this particular tournament, he actually won the Lewis Black
Moses.
He won the whole event on spring break.
So, you know, pretty amazing achievements.
So if you do want to look for really aggressive openings, by the way, things like the noise about
masters, which were big, big Swiss tournaments, not like, you know, the modern super GM or playoffs,
we're talking about hundreds of players playing in it.
And you've got to try and win with both cars, but with both white and black.
So you get to see there's really kind of brutal, you know, openings and gambits in action.
So the Benko gambit.
Yeah.
Is this was an inspiring game example for me to witness on the demo board.
You know, you can have fun and try and play professional chess at the same time with gambits, if it's
good enough for of the, you know, the winner of the Masters in 1997, then you have to say that there
has to be some substance in it.
And it's not just what the engineering is, solid or sound.
You're playing humans.
Humans make mistakes.
They haven't got the technical side to defend positions like computers.
So gambits are often worth a punt, so to speak, you know, worth a try.
So this is an interesting advert for it.
And I hope you do try it out in your own games.
It's a lot of fun to be had for sure.
OK, in this final position, you might have a query, which is, hang on, what about this pawn?
If it did move there, how does Blake actually win?
Well, the key thing is Queen one check.
Yeah, this is a really crushing move.
For example, King H for Benji five is Checkmates or credentialling with Charmaine's.
So clearly it seems well on that evidence.
But what has to go into a pin and you might think, well, OK, but we're only two steps away from queening
here.
Squasher that's true.
But we have a tactical resource here which really blows apart points.
King safety.
Can you spot what that is?
If I give you five seconds pause video as a tactical test, blacks play and checkmate, what would you
do in this position?
You know that you've got a time limit here otherwise when it's getting a queen.
So what do you do in this position?
OK, and check checks basically.
And hopefully you find a check which does add a lot of value to a position, does emphasize downsides
and the opponents position clear downsides.
It opens up that king more so here.
If one ignores this, then we just like take here and there's no time to do this where it was going
to step up that and, you know, and there's no time to really take, you know, the king is going to
get mated with G5.
So let's assume that they take this --.
Now, you've opened up another road to the king, a rank of death, so to speak, not dagbladet.
A rank of death has been a queen dead for Jack and what it won't do.
So it has to interpose the rock.
Then we can take her and then Queen takes effort is checkmate.
So, yeah, the game ended here because yeah, this is really quite crushing.
After uptakes, after introducing this potential of Queen one check, which is absolutely lethal, creates
a pain and then we can open up more stuff to the king.
So yes, it was ended her after uptakes after OK.
