Hi there.
And I would like to show you an iconic game example, which kind of put a certain way of playing against
the character on our business, you know, far less popular.
So this is Nîmes, which against Capablanca played in 1927.
The New York Times.
We see efore from them switch carriers back to playing the curriculum.
Now, the Khankan, in contrast to the French defense, which is, he says, doesn't often leave, you
know, about Beshir in the advanced version of the French defense.
We see this by Bishop, which in fact reflects an issue that sometimes is addressed by black athletes
playing for BASIX, the ASX, to try and exchange off this so-called bad strategically.
That's one of the plans later or sometimes to wriggle around like this if sexers played later.
So the various plans to do with a CIA bishop, which is a defining feature of the French defense.
Now, when we play the Karakoram, it's like sometimes we can actually get a similar kind of position
in the advance.
But without the so-called bad bishop, in a way, potentially because we're not leaving a bad piece
within our pawn structure, we can get some of the more aggressive perks of fighting against this advance
pawn chain, like undermining with C5 later, but without the so-called bad bishop.
We see Capablanca playing Bishop five.
Yeah, and then Savitch plays Bishop Differe.
This whole bishop.
The fray is far less popular nowadays.
Much more popular is Nigel Schwartzberg of Bishop Itou.
It doesn't exchange off.
It keeps this kind of more peace tension, doesn't it?
Exchange off that bishop and leaves black with some congestion issues.
But at this time, you know, opening theory wasn't so involved.
And Bishop, differe actually means strategically black in a way, has a French defense version, too,
without a bishop kind of upgrade.
In a way, we see Knights, Seefried, Queen Bee, Sex, Margita and LC five.
So Black is able to get some good counterplay going on the queen side.
The Tanks Bishop S.C five White Castles, ninety seven point eighty four Queens.
Quincy thinks the specialists that off.
So why does have this bishop.
But it's not that great.
OK, could be worse with a Pawni for but it's not that great.
Here we see Bishop Infrequency seven and four is actually played.
So what is it about this position?
It's not entirely bad, Bishop.
Sure.
On the other hand, black without any bishops seems to have some great perks in terms of peace and harmony.
For example, this this square and this square in particular.
Quite often they're nice enough French the defense after you exchange off the bad bishop, they are
good outpost choirs generally.
And it's something to think about here.
Nine to five is played night sea sings but eighty-one.
Gee, thanks.
I know that night is case, which is a weakening move though.
-- Don't go backwards and it's like yeah after night.
Thanks Efrain Queen takes Efrain Capablanca plays a move to kind of guarantee King's safety and reduce
the dynamic potential of white possession as soon as you do that.
You can get a free hand to kind of an infiltration plan gaining access to more and more squares, potentially
without the worries of the opponents counterplay we see H5, which kind of creates a romantic cell on
the position for blacks king safety as it is prompted to play G5.
So we get this very, very nice, juicy looking square and black just cancels her.
Not fearing the pawnbroker, it's like any dangers for the black king have been severely reduced and
this is a juicy square waiting for the night's arrival, we see 94 queen bee sex work have to rob FCD,
a free Roxie seven defraying 95.
So, OK, the night on this occasion is not going to five.
However, it's still the case that White hasn't really got any meaningful strategic POUM break, which
might have been used to liberate the pieces.
The pieces are kind of passive in this pawn structure.
So and yeah, there's no bad in sight, there's no bad bishop in sight.
And yet the harmony feels much greater for blacks position.
I mean, Nimes, which himself was so impressed by this game, he said as though Capablanca was using
his system against him.
We see rookie to rookie ain't King Jitsu and now ninety six eighty two rookies, rookie to and ninety
seven here, Brooke.
Eighty two rookie for and shrinking G-7 rook after and now a five rookie to.
And now Ashley does come to a five because white knight is actually kind of useful on the four and it's
exchanged off and we see a very, very clever move now which again make sure White doesn't have any
strategic boom.
Break off the night takes a five.
How would you take care?
Can blanket actually takes with takes five if you allow strategic Homebake, the harmony kind of increases,
you know, with things like ESX later as a potential threat.
And also D5 is is weak as well as some of the major key points that it could potentially be taken off
or pressurized.
So you don't really want to take like this.
So he takes his place and it looks as though all of our H5 that's not all actually Queen of France played.
If Quintet's H5 rechange a strong and how Rupesh four is strong and four is quite weak if you have to
rotate.
Therefore this is actually rather good for black and there'll be a upon.
The Queen is actually on this occasion better than two rocks in this particular scenario.
It seems so.
Queen Afri is played and now a shocking kind of move, but reassuring the king safety and not having
to tie a whole piece up to H5.
We see kinky sex.
That's a good sign when your pieces don't just have to look after weak pawns.
The King Relief's, you know, Holbrook of duty and these roots can really work together to do something
on this side of the board instead.
So the king protects H5 very usefully and it's as though why it doesn't have any strategic form breaks.
That's a really desirable thing in general.
And I kind of test maybe of harmony.
One of the tests, you know, if the opponent has strategic pawn, right, you got worries.
If you got worries, you know, the opponents got counterplay, the defense got counterplay, can't
make steady inroads and gain access to important squares systematically to accumulate advantages by
here.
Yeah, there's less worries.
It doesn't have a strategic pawn break at their disposal.
Rook Edyta, we see infiltration rookie fall and now rotifer is played.
By the way, instead of looking for Quincy, saying's doesn't play the so-called minority attack where
a minority of --'s is attacking a majority is actually possible.
It's the aim of this minority attack is to inflict structural damage.
You can imagine taking there'll be a weakened ANC pawns.
So the minority attack is actually a very important concept in pawn structures.
Generally, we see Rook one day to be before so eight eight.
And, you know, in this version it will be we see in this faction, it will be a very pleasant alternative
to the gang continuation.
So let's not get carried away in the game, actually, rookie forwards.
I just wanted to make note there was a hint of a potential minority attack in this position.
But this is there are other ways to win games.
You don't always have to use a minority attack.
So this is the chosen path infiltration.
We see the default Route C for queen after Queen B five King Jeoffrey.
Roxy takes the four she takes in Quincy for you can see the systematic accumulation of vantages hair
without an excuse of minority attack when it's kind of frozen looking after the pawns.
This isn't great harmony.
This is relegating the pieces to just passive defenders.
King to be five King Jiwon before I'm black is just increasing the advantage, making more dangerous
potential passports one day.
If this pawn advance advances without actually being weak, we see Quincy one infiltration.
King Jeoffrey are now very, very cheeky.
Infiltration Queen one rogue defraying rookie one white has been tied up totally in knots.
Rook Efrain wrote Daewon be free.
And now rook.
See one way is in a kind of zugzwang.
We see rock, every rock, F1 and the game ended here, if Queen Jitu had to resign, if Queen G to
that, we just win the Queen, we brought you on.
If Queen Desu, then Queen Guancheng and Queen divorced, check out.
If Kwangju to hand and quintets every check, so yes, just like getting a basic, you know, a zugzwang,
it's so bad.
Why all this without the minorities?
Sorry about that.
I think I was getting carried away there about that minority attack plan.
Yeah.
This at this key moment.
Let's go back to this key moment.
An infiltration plan was pursued instead of minorities, saying there are other cases where you might
prefer minority attack.
So just just to put that on the board again, actually, let's take that to a logical conclusion as
an alternate way of winning.
You know, this situation would have also led to Wyant being a very, very difficult position and losing
position potentially.
You can see how minority time could do extreme damage like this.
And still, White's position would be fairly Homer Simpson constants remain.
You know, the king is just secure.
What is lacking in POUM breaks in both scenarios.
So sometimes, you know, you have such a positioning, overwhelming gain.
You know, there are different positional routes to win the game and all those routes, perhaps the
opponent just has minimal counterplay.
But yeah, the Capablanca method chosen Muki four.
And then the infiltrations with the chicken variations on Naughtie Squares starts revealing themselves
of the King Jeoffrey.
Because while it's kind of stuck here, I mean, you know, the queen moves away from defore that drops
which one is taken on defore.
It's just horrible.
The moves queen takes effort.
I mean, look at the pain in this position.
We can say, even though there's no obvious bad bishops in this example, the harmony, pain and pleasure
is pronounced for both sides that, you know, white pawns are just pacifying totally the white pieces.
So giving up key squares, you know, H1.
Now, that weakness of the last move is a symptom of very, very passive position, just being overworked,
overloaded.
So these infiltrations there are just so painful.
So, yeah, Nîmes, which was so impressed by the scheme, he just treated it as though Capablanca,
the game actually ended, has a Capablanca used Nîmes, which is my system against them.
So great.
Peace and harmony, so that has implications for lack of counterplay, you have lack of counterplay
or your parents that can't play ball or somebody from that perspective, you can make inroads.
You can gain access more and more to key squares and, you know, almost zugzwang.
The opponent like in this in this game, potentially, where any move they make, they're going to start
losing material.
You can get that level of positional power in possession.
OK, I hope this is inspiring to think about how the pieces and pawns can one how many or not to your
advantage or not.
OK, and so much.
