Hi there in this lecture, we see an example came from Max over, so Max over was a Dutch chess player,
mathematician, author and chess administrator.
He was the fifth player to become world chess champion.
So he held that title between 1955 and 1957.
He served as president of the.
So Federation International, the ASX, the official world governing body of.
So between 1970 and 1978.
Now, this guy I'm about to show you is one of his best and most significant games, and it was actually
dubbed the Paula Zahn vote by Tascosa.
So let's have a look.
This is Massawa against Alexander Arlequin from their world championship match in 1935, D4 for Max.
So we see 86 from Alpine inviting a French defense, you know, a 45 potentially.
But we see CIFOR instead from Max our our five Dutch defense Jeoffrey.
Bishop, before Jack to the bishop goes back to a lot of things like Seefried black counsels, white
African efo white counsels desex Quincy to Bishop B seven No.
95 is played and actually outright plays very, very interesting tactical move, notates Sifry.
It looks as though.
Hold on, hold on.
Isn't this bishop on here?
Does White really need to just take her ordinarily?
What about the bishop?
Bobwhite did actually just take on Seefried, which is a very, very good response.
It turns out if Bishop takes being seven, it looks as though, well, this is winning a lot material.
Yeah, but there is no it's to check.
And then 1964, hitting the queen and actually black stands very well now of the B.C. sex as an example.
If Nineteens detainees.
You might think or hold on King's question, Bishop is winning the night, isn't it?
Not so quick.
Queen size eight and the Queen can't take the likes of C five check just to put that on the board seafront.
That would be winning the queen.
Look at the in effect, close the aberrational facts around the board.
So in other words, if that's out of the question, then this situation where the most important points
on the fourth, the check is actually rather good for black.
This is very pleasant.
There's enough compensation here for being exchanged down.
So it was a very wise decision to play Bishop S.C free.
So we see Bishop takes you to King, takes you to Quincy.
Ain't the Queen trying to replace that bishop on that diagonal?
D5 d6 no different if I catch one CSX Queen Bee Free King.
Actually it looks like a good idea to get away from that since the diagonal half full.
And this puts a lot of pressure on black center black comets before we see night before another committee,
a move to go backwards might see to the Knights actually rerouting to a fine central square.
Now Naifeh putting pressure on that five now Alexander Anarkali in place, a move which is a little
bit tricky.
Bishop FCX seemingly offering a fine but surely that's indirectly defended right.
Would you play Knight takes out five in this position.
That's the big question.
If I give you five the portfolio, would you entertain it in any way whatsoever?
No, it takes five.
Given that, you know, potentially there's, you know, an issue.
Well, actually, he did take it because here we don't have to recapture ordinarily it takes these things,
hits the queen and in fact, points just place 1984 here, just collecting a number of pawns.
So bit of a shocker piece sacrificed for multiple pawns.
If these passports get going in the center, they're going to be worth their weight in gold, though,
to the end game, especially, we see 92 and now G5 this might be a little bit on the risky side, but
it seems as though B5 should be OK for black and technically blacks doing fine.
But it looks a bit scary for sure.
But G5, it tries to go for an attack, but it weakens a little bit.
The Black Kings in the process we see fauji tanks to detainees.
Bishop DeFore.
So Black is kind of Alexander Hamilton is working his magic to try and get some sort of attack, you
know, potentially on Jafo.
This looks like rather scary stuff.
We see it five twenty eight eight cents an hour, just RUGGIE eight.
So very, very interesting in this position, you might find this move a bit shocking, Brooke, James
is looking at the square as technology to is very interesting, especially if one takes on D7, which
seems that's interesting to consider.
But black hair has two ways to try and get that of Common Square.
It's not just quinsy sex, but it's also Queen Itou And this route actually is a double attack on detA
as well as Geto.
And that's the best move for Black is actually Queen Eita so queeny to play against the piece back that's
just been sacrificed and is better here.
For example, this position is better for black, just for the record of Queen Jessica than either Queen
African or Queen H.
Would guard G now be both advantages for whites, either location and I could just move.
So in the event, though, after Rook Jake, this was kind of ignored by Afri just keeping this lovely
pawn chain intact, not being too greedy.
And now we see Queen Giselle so frazzling.
Checkmate on geto.
And here you have more cleverness from Max.
Oh, yeah, she plays a very interesting move extinguishing that tank to a large extent, Rogue G1
95 was also plausible.
But maybe, you know, tactically, 95 is interesting for play and it gets very hairy.
But, you know, maybe it's about equal, apparently.
But in any event.
Yeah, very interesting move.
One sacrifice in the exchange.
And trying to get, you know, the attack for this diagonal is sometimes dangerous, so we see queen
of Sex standing on that diagonal to avoid those issues.
And now, again, instead of taking on these seven, Max overpays 95, so this is brilliant stuff,
but think of seven.
Jack Black has to react to that.
We broke G7.
This is a bit of a mistake.
Apparently RUGGIE six is better.
And here I find this.
Apparently this should be even though it looks very, very scary with the two pawns here, Black might
actually have a resource in 97.
And we have to tread carefully with Quincy free if one doesn't tread carefully with Queen Seefried,
which is about equal and that blacks is going to be much better off, the queen sees these things black,
just sacrificing black material to break up those points of black SDMI hair.
So anyway, any events, you know, G-7 was played.
We have tanks here, rotates Queen Efrain, freeing some.
And I'm 96, so there's big compensation for being exchanged down there.
This noise, the entrenched noise, Brooke.
Efate trying to get pressure on her for that nice pin to the queen.
But why not just play Queen five, pinning the queen transposing into transitioning, rather, into
a very interesting and game indeed, Brooke.
Have five rookie one.
These past pawns look extremely dangerous.
Ninety eight would have to ESX Brookley to ninety six.
Eight is seven B five is right.
And now 98.
This actually threatens nine of seven Czech and six to undermine the blockade of King G.
Seven stops France.
So just to put that on the board, if B takes like a seven check and unlike these things the King can't
defend F7.
So yeah, that'll be a big problem.
So we see Kings of Night B seven and yeah, the night can come to the 6th.
Our King of seven point ninety six will be Czech king of six.
Now here it looks as a whole on 96 has rotates eighty seven.
But guess what.
White plays her.
Yeah, one plays rookie sex check, nudging the king now of King of 796 Chac, so the king goes back
and I'm 96, so it's just going to be a whole night out now, but in fact, doesn't even take on a seven.
Doesn't take only seven yeah, actually goes for the other rook on these, so this is a great way of
extinguishing counterplay actually in instructive moment as well, just to extinguish counterplay,
you know, rotates S7 as a big hassle factor.
Black black smoke carries on mowing pawns.
But the way it's been played here with 1948 choosing this rook instead, the more active, aggressive
rook, and that actually causes Alexander Electron to be absolutely convinced he's lost and resigns
her.
So yeah, a cracking game by Max out one of his best and alicorn had this to say.
Does the general public.
I do even our friends, the critics realize that our virtually never made on some combination he may
have caused occasionally fail to take account of an opponent's combination.
But when he has the Initiative and Attacks Corporation, his calculation is impeccable.
So that was a very, very nice comment by Alan Alkaline.
Hansch WOAK said he may have course.
Bonhomie and smoke, but he said his logic personified a genius of law and order, one would hardly
call him an attacking player, yet he strides confidently into some extraordinary complex variations.
Bobby Fischer, who became later unhinged, had this to say.
Unfortunately, you know, Fischer did become unhinged.
It wasn't to me, it's like an opposite of our own was a great family man.
Lots of children, great family man all around the map.
See a doctor.
Fisher had this to say, and basically there's something wrong with that man, he's too normal.
I think that's why he's not raved about too much, because he's just too normal.
And some people believe, you know, he's like an accidental, you know, world champion that Alexander
Alcorn was a bit too fond of.
Drinking and stuff and maybe didn't take the first world championship match against what to seriously,
but change that to milk later as his preferred drink, apparently, and got his revenge against Mexico.
But anyway, anyway, yeah, genuinely, Mexico is an example of a normal world testimony.
So not all World Sachem is became completely unhinged and deranged.
You know, Maxo was a great example.
OK, so check out his game's hero, Neverland's.
If you ever go to Amsterdam, you know, there's a Maxo kind of tributes place.
And yeah, Neverland's you know, that's why chess has been, you know, popularized in the Netherlands
quite significantly.
When a country gets a world chess champion, there is like a surge of activity and interest in chess.
OK, thanks very much.
