Either in this election, we see the downsides of hanging pawns being kind of used by Bobby Fisher here.
This is an iconic game from the iconic match of the century, 1972, Game six.
This is all my favorite all time world championship games in general.
Definitely in my top.
Five or ten of top world championship games, we see Seaforth from Fisher.
So already a shock.
You know, he's Youzhny for player and he's showing great versatility that as he had been studying basically
both the English and the four transpositions.
So DeFore opening very have been keeping in touch with that.
So expressing a kind of art of war principle like misstep in the Russian preparation for him that just
expects them to play one A4 in this match.
So, OK, we see more of six Seefried seven and we go into the total cooperation soon with B6.
This gives rise to the so-called hanging --'s.
So this is all pretty standard stuff so far.
And now of the C five free rook's C eight B five a6 that Pawnees Penders not quite threatening eight
pins eight we see in fact here instead sort of ASX Queen B seven was was actually a it's rather interesting
move here as an alternative move.
For example, it looks as a whole on the pawn.
Being sacked by black actually does get a little bit of activity through this route of ASX.
You know, black would be having sufficient compensation, it seems.
But anyway, ASX was played.
And of the details, BTX, we do have the classic hanging pawn situation.
So these two pawns, black has potential prospects in theory with these Asian fouls.
The activity, sorry, not that far.
The adjacent foals.
And also we have the outpost's also sometimes the actual liberationist aspects of the --'s are important.
Why it needs to minimise the opponents counterplay sometimes free's these pawns lock them up to show
their downsides.
We see Fisher Castling, Rook seven and our Bishop E two.
We see ninety seven now.
Very, very interesting move indeed.
Exploiting the penalty for exploiting that pin pawn there.
And Fisher actually of the Queen.
Efate gets a light square bishop without a counterpart by playing 1936.
You won't think.
Kings Crusher, you know, wasn't this about exploiting hanging pawns?
What is this translation?
This is the hanging pawns.
This is a trio pawns.
It's not your fault.
The trio.
What's going on here?
Yes, it's a translation of advantages to exploit.
Hangi pause, you might need to translate to something else.
A trio you might need to exploit simply a bishop.
Without accountable.
So in this position, yes, to Bishop, without a counterpoint, you have to stamp of ethics and yes,
good to the hanging.
Welcome the trio of pawns.
So, OK, you could say, well, the adjacent folds, they're active of like.
Yes, it's not quite the same, though.
There's something else going on in this position.
As Bishop of accounts, Paul is accentuated with Fisher's next move, which kind of reduces Blancs counterplay
in a way.
Can you see what that move is if I give you five seconds?
Hands pause Viniar.
It tries to weaken Black's pool structure with a four.
And so temporary pawn sacrifice, it's not accepted, Defoe's played pawns, become fixed a little bit
more in the squares.
So why wasn't it accepted?
Well, it looks terrible from the outset.
And we can show a good return on investment here after a move like Quiñones Free and then Bishop CIFOR
targeting ESX and Plax, very, very passive here.
Won't can actually play this position like this where there's FrontPoint is now very, very vulnerable
and even Afri just dissolving that to leave black full of weaknesses, full of pawn islands, generally
pawn islands.
They put a strain on the pieces as pieces that are having to defend those pawns, other pawns.
That's the thing about pawn islands.
It's like there's a strain on the pieces.
Look at the stress that results here of the queen.
C7, for example, Czech queen, the eight.
There's a lot of stress on the black position.
If white eventually regains one of the pawns, it's of interest.
Blacks pawns, they're still fragmented.
Won't sits on the position with a nice advantage.
So perhaps for these considerations, the Fawwaz played an official plays.
Therefore, we see seven now locking down blacks position in the way the light is limited in squares
we see Rokeby eight bishops see for the bishops nicely placed.
So it seems the dynamism has been defused.
The hanging pawns, which has been turned into a trio of pawns with to the polls on down squares, and
that bishop just blockading, you know, in a lovely way on CIFOR.
And in fact, Fisher uses this position to drum up an amazing attack now of the queen right on the other
side of the board.
So ESX been targeted.
No time to take on B to that point.
But instead of taking on BE2 concretely, Bishop takes ESX and we've got you know, Fiedler's all be
happy about this poor mobility that we've just generated, for example, like this, as well as King
safety issues.
This is just better for wins big postpone the benefit.
Wait, so if I played with CB frame a five an hour fishtails crack open, I passed it on to this past
Eichhorn.
Plus there's a foul pressure and I think seven rootsier one queen, the Aints queen defraying Brooky
seven we see thankful baby son ESX.
This vacates the five square for a nice central queen.
So in this possession of the rook B.C. seven, the Queen goes to my central location and the king fills
that x ray actually.
So this pawn is pend.
This is getting very dangerous.
We see Queene eight, a full locking that queen science.
So taking away any pawn breaks from black is a good idea generally.
Queen the eight rook one after some waisting moves here before the time control Quiney eight to Afri
Queen Yanes defraying Quiney eight Queene.
For some whites he moves to achieve the time to move.
Forty extra time will be given to both players.
So we do see some whites he moves but now nice six and something happens.
I see before move.
Forty after of.
Can you see what Fisher plays in this position, which is really quite crushing?
OK, it's rooked takes sex and the dispositional exchange sacrifice, which fragments the pawns, so
sometimes you need to look at the long term prospects of such an exciting sacrifice.
Are you going to get one or two pawns and then maybe a little bit more after?
Is there a general trend upwards when you play positional exchange sacrifice?
It's very much based on the pawn structure and the pieces, how they're working together in harmony,
and how there's an accumulation of advantages being evidenced in that upward trend, hopefully now here.
So although the exchange down spawns Black's King safety, they've been shattered.
King James, we see Bishop CIFOR Queen hate's.
And now the final move is Queen efore and the game ended here.
Fisher Fisher was actually applauded by Spassky.
Spassky got up and applauded Fisher to Fisher's shock.
I believe that moment Fischer was really convinced Spassky was a true gentleman of the game, which
he is.
He actually applauded.
Fischer, can you imagine you got the whole Soviet chess rooting for you to try and stomp out Fisher
to carry on the domination of chess?
They've had multiple, you know, Russian world champions.
But Spassky is brave enough to actually applaud Fischer for this artistic achievement.
It's not just about the results as the art of this game, which makes it for me a very iconic and special
game.
In fact, sometimes it's not just to win, it's to create an artistic masterpiece.
We see here Queen if coingate the crushing effects here is queene five four.
I think a double check.
And mate, how is Harry that if Queen GCM would have Achak and then Bishop the jack will win the Queen
or checkmate preferably checkmate to win the game.
If we look at this again instead of Queen James, if King Geets, then that's two pawns now for the
exchange.
So big uptrends, it justifies fully paying the exchange down.
We've got a massive passport on six as well.
Two connected passports, Major King safety issues.
Yes, this is enough for any change down.
If you know what is playing, it's just hopeless.
There's a big France of quinsy, five and seven.
It's just absolutely crushing.
I mean, as an example here, we can play check and then she says if the rock interposes.
Instead, we unleash the power of this bishop with his seven words, planting her stubble.
So, yeah, it's a crushing game.
Finish quintet for King Safety has just gone to zero delay for Black's king.
So it's not like how many iconic demonstration of how to play against the hanging pawns.
There are certain improvements for black.
Black did play a little bit too passively.
Usually when you want to play with a dynamic power structure like an isolated Queen's pawn or the dual
version circle, hanging pawns is like a cheaper version of the ICE type.
You want to kind of create dynamic peace play here.
The dynamic piece play was all shot down by Fisher.
The way that Black played it was a bit too passive.
Now Fisher to play on both sides of the board.
You know, it's like one of those orchestras where they all you know, it's been conducted very, very
well by conductor.
It's like it reminds me of the chess equivalent of, you know, a musical masterpiece, an orchestra,
a work of art on both sides of the board, and how that the queen actually comes to the center here
and they're not, you know, do anything much as soon as Clarke did bring them lights out, because
there are there are threats emerging here.
If didn't do anything, if I didn't play the lights out, then actually, you know, they're all kind
of tactical frat's.
You know, for example, CIFOR, you see white plays, hair, if you check all shack's even the outrageous
ones, hopefully this battery, you're going to use that for a fact check.
And taking taking care of a common square was created.
Whenever you have a battery and bishop and queen look out for the catacombs square, thousands of auto
generated.
That's that's one of the beauties of batteries.
Yeah.
So this battery set up by Fisher is pretty lethal, you know, causing this lifesavings reaction.
So, yeah, Black was in a very, very bad state to play a lot of things and allowing this very, very
powerful, logical position to exchange sacrifice.
So, yeah, the game ending health queen a four.
So this is like on a game example, held up quite frequently in early learning texts about how to play
against hanging pawns.
But Fisher himself, you know, could play with hanging horns as well.
And so their upside's it's all in the follow ups and in neutralizing the downsides.
OK, that's much.
