Hi there.
And it's actually we're going to have a look at an amazing game of Alexander Alkene.
So he was the fourth world chess champion reigning from 1927 to 35.
Then he managed to lose a max a match against Max Owa, but regained his title.
And he was world chess champion from 1957 until his death in 1946.
He's regarded as the founding inspiration of the Soviet School of Chess that came to dominate the world
of chess after World War Two.
So here his game against him by Gloriavale is very, very interesting and kind of representative of
his style in many respects, his huge flights of fancy imagination, creativity, outrageous moves.
They kind of being captivated by this game a little bit.
So he plays the Dutch defense here, a very frightening reaction to wonderful seafoam.
I have sex with him.
Jeffrey Sachs.
Bishop Jita announced he plays Bishop before Jacare Bishop detA and exchanges off the dance where bishops
and now provocative, noisy sex.
So why aren't the plays the modest knight?
Jeffrey, if the five looks initially tempting, but after 97 disposition, actually blancs doing fine
half the night just goes back, provoking sometimes quite weaknesses.
That should be fine for playing so nice, Jeoffrey.
Both sides castle desex, queen bee free king and queen free.
And now at the tactical move e5 the queen is actually trying the to him, which makes this possible.
We see free if detainees detainees we see that detail will be hanging.
If 1985 is placed they'll be a mistake.
1985 Queen takes Queen Tastee to winning a peace.
So if war is played by now, Black sets up, you know, really quite an aggressive position.
First, a five clamping down only before.
So this night cannot, for example, be shifted away from C.S. Lewis and my central line at the moment,
be free now, Queene eight.
And this looks very, very neat and logical, potentially against H5.
But also looking at both sides of the ball.
Actually, we see a free queen H5.
It does commit to age five age for --.
Don't go backwards.
There is a weakness of this move like this.
G4 is slightly more vulnerable now.
So yeah, that looks like a bit of a panicky reaction.
But why isn't a passive way now and in fact the G4 score is made use of it's a lovely square for that
night.
So why is like positionally?
It's it's suspects.
They're already positioning this position.
We see ninety five Bishop seven every night of sex and therefore this makes that G4 kind of whole much
more significant.
If all this locks in the bishop so position, they won't seem to be in a passive way.
Look after one eight six the night goes back to age three, the five.
So this really kind of bolsters sensor blunting the on geto night AF1.
Twenty seven a fall and this will be four on the other side.
It's like, well it's not content with one hole.
He creates two.
But is the situation to block to actually do anything.
We see the to night before Bishop one and then the queen actually comes back.
So there's a battery now on this diagonal.
Is that useful, Ruchi, to what we see now?
Deedes C4.
And this sets uncomfortable questions for white BTC for as played if queen sitesi for black has B5 five,
this is very powerful.
For example, Eighteens Bishop sings and here Black has all sorts of delightful ideas.
After 1945, for example, Bishop takes and takes every ounce.
It's just a very, very difficult position.
If Rook after the knight comes into the fray for King, Queen or work, if Queen detA then black can
just celebrate like this.
The position is just very passive for white.
This is a bit slow to try and do anything over here.
So anyway, White Plains beat.
Thanks.
And as the queen takes that pawn knife to Bishop, drops back my deed to and I'll be five, 91, 93,
and it looks as a whole, has he just left the pawn behind on a five?
This is a big, amazing combination.
If it does nothing, I mean, it seems as though it's going to be overwhelming to collect the passports.
So why takes on a five?
And now we have a really shocking combination kicked off with before.
So this is limiting why it's severely.
Once replies, we see saying science and now guess what?
What would you play her if you were playing black?
Would you take the rock off, would you do something else?
OK.
In fact, the queen has taken and it looks as a whole, and this is silly because of the takes, if
we recapture those meetings and on a lot of points, worries over, in fact.
Guess what, black plays in this position, if I give you five seconds, called the.
So like France and captures, you want to be aware of them, you want to be aware that in theory, you
know reCAPTCHA, but as you get more and more advanced, that almost becomes the last thing you want
to do to automatically reCAPTCHA.
You're not a trained dog Pavlov dog, you know, and when the opponent threatens you, you don't have
to react.
You know, it's your choice.
You should really look at the mental game processes and look at the forcing moves in a particular situation.
Don't auto recaptcha.
And that message is very, very strongly here.
I hope you can guess what they played or work out.
I've given you a bit of a clue it might not be able to recapture you.
Actually, please see to look at these notes, they're stumbling around.
This passport is really, really dangerous here these nights, although they're near the passport physically,
they're not really able to stop the passport queening.
So offering entire rook here with Czech and now the just stumbling around they have to and the pawn
queens with check might have one.
Now here, another crushing blow, 91.
But the Freda's big fat of everything and that would be checkmate.
So the king is given a square to now queen to see for his plate.
Rugby AIDS Bishop, five friends, then queen saints have won, mate, so won't sacrifice the exchange
that and why pieces are kind of bunched up here.
You can see, I mean, visually, this is most peculiar for trying to sort of break out of the binds.
Not every check that's taken eatings was a G takes five and queen in two once in a row, bind her the
five.
Kingi eight H5 King at seven.
It looks as though once and I kind of.
That's one.
Zugzwang efore 1994 nighttimes quintets desex There seems to be very, very desperate moves from white.
We see about six detainees, Rudy, too, but now a beauty of a move, again celebrating the inability
to kind of stop passports.
Guess what?
Unclaimed place her.
OK, queening to.
So if the rug goes away, then quinsy to his chemie, so we see rotates offtakes, but this transposes
into an easily won component.
After all that I was thinking G-7 can seven.
We see the king coming up.
He thinks the five check and won't resign is Triveni one now.
For example, Haircare five just treble when the recap.
This was the final possession actually after the final check.
I just like to read you some quotations from two other world champions and arguably two of the greatest
players ever.
What they said about Alexander Allophone, first Bobby Fischer, Bobby Fischer said of Alkene.
He played gigantic inceptions full of outrageous and unprecedented ideas.
He had great imagination.
He could see more deeply into a situation than any other player in chess history.
It was in the most complicated positions that Al-Hakeem found his grandiose concepts.
So, yeah, Bobby Fischer said that about a coin.
Now, Garry Kasparov had this to say.
Alexander Alkene is the first luminary among the others who are still having the greatest influence
on me.
I like his you universality, his approach to the game, his chess ideas.
I'm sure that the future belongs to Alec Lynch has aligned himself, seemed to express a lot of war
principles of in the art of war, said you should know yourself and your opponents, your enemies,
and then you won't fear the result of a thousand battles.
As I basically said, firstly, self-knowledge.
Secondly, a firm comprehension of my opponent's strengths and weaknesses, but also, interestingly,
eloquent ads.
Thirdly, a higher aim, artistic and scientific accomplishments.
Accomplishments was record on chess, equal rank with other arts.
So it is as if he was trying to elevate the game for a really, really beautiful masterpieces like this
game.
Yeah, very, very interesting indeed.
I like the dynamic, aggressive world chess champion, so I'm a bit biased towards them.
The more Taxco dynamic, aggressive, you know, like the Fisher.
The Kasparov.
Yeah.
And I kind of like that kind of vein personally, but you will find your own, you know, favorite world
champions as well once you explore their games and maybe see their style of play a little bit more clearly.
OK, I.
So much.
