Hi there in this Lanzhou, I'm going to show you an amazing example of peace, harmony, Imtech, the
management of bishops which bishops to exchange off within a support structure.
So let's say this is Garry Kasparov against Michael Adams in 1988.
It's a symbol, to be fair, Kasparov is one of the greatest chess players of all time.
And this was only the you know, Adams was much younger than he is now and wasn't a super grandmaster
at the time.
But you could see he had a promising talent and positional fell.
And we see that in this game.
DeFore from 96, C, 46, 93.
We see bishop before Czech, nobody to be six, every bishop B seven.
Bishop Differe animes console's, white console's.
And they'll be five, you might think.
Hold on.
King Squasher.
The bishops essentially blocked in.
Is that yes.
A free seven.
But Blank does control the Four-Square with this.
It reinforces control of form before it's played like between seven and now C takes eight.
So that Bishop definitely does seem as though it's kind of blocked in Bishop, but it helps control
the light squares trade offs.
Rokeby one A6 My 95 Bishop Desex and what goes into a kind of stone wall formation which is positionally
potentially has an Achilles heel that it can sometimes run out of counterplay.
If Black plays the cards right, we see him ninety-four.
So one of the intentions is to leave White with a bad C1 bishop, which doesn't really fit in well with
White's pawn structure.
What has put more points, especially with effort on dance class.
So all of these forms on dance class could inhibit and lock in the C1 Bishop.
We see E for details.
Another major that will perkier positionally blackheads access to the DFI square it's vacated and that
can be used for a strategic exchange of pieces.
We see 1967 quintet's No See for another clever move Bishop S7 Adams has in mind if he can exchange
of Winesburg Bishop for his bishop, which is currently blocked in VI that D5 square.
It will leave with a positioning, miserable position kind of lacking in counterplay.
We see Bishop Neetu and Bishop D5 is played Rook C1.
And week six, queen bee, free rook F.C. eight weeks, setsu, and this seems like a really beautiful
conception, b5 not only is this bishop kind of miserable and White's the voice of dynamic, you know,
potential, if you're playing the likes of Garry Kasparov, you really don't want him tearing or kings
pieces.
And this position seems a very, very far cry from that kind of thing we have.
Bishop takes five states and black monks now a beautiful looking outpost's square.
Most it doesn't really have a corresponding outpost square here.
It's covered by this bishop.
Whilst this picture does not cover CIFOR, so we see Rohtang C8 rotates the Roquet one, what is lacking
in counterplay essentially her?
If see one Roxxy fall, this would give black a small edge that is a protected spawn in the ocean but
has a small edge.
So we see a one and that lovely outpost square for his years.
So this position is kind of positionally delightful.
You'd be probably reassured even if you are playing to some extent, at least.
At least.
Hey, you know, there's a decent position to play with a 46.
So not wanting to have backroad issues, making some after the king age freaking G seven, eight, eight,
eight, six and eight for trying to tempt --'s to go forward potentially or later off the catch to
Jeoffrey.
We have to Quincy heads the rook, though, for the moment.
OK, so now Quincy sings.
So it's tempting to kick the bishop, but it wouldn't do any favors.
It would just weaken that second rank.
We see Queen Daewon.
If Jeoffrey, as an example, in fact, the strongest, especially southern here, hitting before threatening
Rocsi to if takes 67, the point is, Rosita and why it's kind of fatally weak here.
So Black will be getting Bishop back with huge interest.
Look at every so that bishop is left alone.
On page four, we have Quinlivan Roxxy to announce the infiltration move for the bishop back, actually.
So not wanting to change the bishops also, you know, might potentially give some counterplay to why
we want this bishop to be a prisoner in the -- chain.
We don't want to relieve whites of its queen, the one the queen comes back just to protect that kind
of prisoner.
Limited in scope, Rokeby, too, see see one now Quincy for so the infiltration of the black pieces
is remarkable.
We see Queen Jiefu and now a square which is out of White's reach essentially is use Queen AF1.
It's a nasty invasion.
Here we see R5.
Adams just closes up things with J5 King.
Safety is shown not to be a major issue, except only for white.
You know, H5 Queen takes Queen to chat.
Might we see Queen Jeoffrey if rugby sevens the example age five and if Queen Jeoffrey Rook E to this
situation gets fairly unpleasant.
For example, hair is really unpleasant after rook jeoffrey that's just crushing the GTA five queen
takes you to mind.
So we see Queen Jeoffrey H5 Bishop Seefried and actually the game ended after Roxxy two, so Adams hasn't
even one single Pugna and yet the game is totally lost.
Kasparov has been tied in knots absolutely without any counterplay or active possibility's on Bishop
A1, then just Rook C1.
And how does one actually the fans, the king, for example, basically took continue on is checkmate
so crushing positional game.
Yes, I'm really unfair to pick a simple game, but for me at the time it was very, very dramatic.
Adams was only a junior prom king junior.
So it shows that even if you're a promising junior and you're playing against one of the strongest possible
time, sometimes you can just play a positional game, maximize your harmony between your pieces and
pawns, and minimize the opponent's harmony and just don't give the civil player a chance in this case.
Kasparov Yeah, it seems as though as far as COUNTERPLAY was extremely minimized, especially by that
strategic vision exchange earlier on Bishop D5 This is really a glorious.
Harmony type move to make sure you're saying, look within a given pool structure.
I want certain pieces.
Versus the opponent in that Putin's Russia.
So you want to leave sometimes the opponent with a bad bishop and minimize their counterplay and try
and make infiltrations into that position gradually knowing that your king is a bit safer than usual,
perhaps.
So I thought this was an instructive game example of how many things to do or not do.
OK, thanks so much.
