Hi there, this lecture is a kind of two in one, I'm going to tell you something about relative pens,
and I'm also at the same time going to be using that as part of an opening track that you might want
to use on unsuspecting opponents.
So this lecture could actually go in two places in the opening transaction and also about relative pens.
It's one of those very, very instructive opening traps.
So for the Queen's Gambit of the D5 CIFOR, we have the Queen's Gambit.
So you might have seen, I hope, the Netflix series and have lots of questions there.
And any questions you have from that series, please do ask them.
And I can set up new lectures if needed, by the way, to answer those questions about having covered
any key concepts in that amazing series.
But here we have what's called the Queen's Gambit, declined Lightsey Free Night of Sex and our Bishop
G5.
So bear in mind, this is just a relative pen.
It's only relatively penning the noise we have now.
Our trap, it seems as though.
Hold on, this is quite dangerous, isn't it, for this poor?
And sometimes the trap involves Knight Beedi seven and it looks as though hold on a sec.
Can't quite take care.
So they take her etext now can we actually take on D5 you might think.
Well.
Maybe they can, because, you know, what am I to the night pens the queen, right?
This is where sometimes looking a little bit further ahead in chess gives you a bigger truth.
And even, you know, the powerful chess engines and losing games, you sometimes you need to give them
more time for them to establish a bigger truth.
Sometimes they will even label even challengers will label movies as mistakes.
And they're actually brilliant moves.
So depth of calculation.
You don't want to have this kind of horizon.
The facts raise an issue.
So sometimes you need to look further.
Can we actually take care what you think Black could play?
If Knight takes the five, can you work it out if I give you five cents for the video?
OK, OK, this is setting the trap.
It's actually a trap it takes now you can actually take, believe it or not, offering your queen up.
This doesn't seem like a fair trade, does it?
Queen's worth knowing.
You've just taken free.
Your mind is sinks, however, chacal checks, captures and friends of mine.
One and two, one or two.
You know, you want to check those forcing moves and they enable you to get the bigger truth about positions.
The bigger truth here is that there's this check here.
And what can we do about this check?
They end up in an absolute pen now of absolute pens.
You can either exploit them immediately or you can celebrate them.
In fact, there's two very, very strong moves.
And one is fractionally better than the other, and that's actually celebrating the pen on this occasion,
sometimes it might be the other way round.
You don't have to even take the queen immediately.
So there are two key moves.
You can take the queen immediately.
And if we look at the material situation, we essentially going where a piece up.
For a --, so we're actually winning now on material and you could have also just celebrated the pen
because actually the law is protecting the bishop, that penpals is not going anywhere and nothing's
coming in the way.
So you can actually even play King takes the eight, which is fractionally stronger in theory.
And that's kind of celebrating the pen.
And during your games, you'll notice this division actually between a major exploitation event and
celebrating and sometimes celebrating is doing much, much more for you.
But I have both of these possibilities.
Leave black.
Absolutely winning, you know, of takes, you know, which is the piece up of every year.
We should take, though, at some point we can say here and we're pace up.
So this is the so-called elephant trap.
So I hope you remember this one by elephants.
Yeah.
Have a good memory for Trappes.
The elephant trap.
They're supposed to have a good memory, right?
So no FCX Bishop G5 we play this sneaky might be D7, so we don't immediately rush to kind of unspin.
We get our opponents excited about this relative pin.
So yeah, on this occasion we're creating a temptation and it doesn't actually compromise our position.
It's one of those traps which are kind of good in that you want those traps which don't actually damage
your position.
So that makes them more scalable.
The stronger the opponents you get later, you're not going to be obliterated because you've got all
these rather cheap, nasty traps.
You want the good traps, so.
If they a sensible move, you still got a decent position here.
If they don't play like it takes, you still got a decent of the referee, you know, maybe, you know,
seven now and your position is fine, or C six.
But the elephant, if they fall into it, you just winning a piece, basically, you know, you're essentially
going to be a piece of.
OK, I hope that's like two birds with one stone, kind of two ideas that an opening track for you with
the black pieces against the Queen's Gambit.
And also how to use a relative pin as part of the lure of this trap.
OK, and so much.
