Hi there.
This is a game from Episode four of the Queen's Gambit Netflix series.
So Bulgakov was playing White against Baff, and this is actually based on a real game of Lenin.
Stalin, who was a Russian chess champion playing against Alexander Antonovich back in 1965.
So the series did actually use these, you know, classic games.
Stalin, a Soviet chess grandmaster from Ukraine, he won actually the USSR championship three times
in the 1960s and was among the world's top ten players during that era.
So really, really great player we see fall from Borg off playing the role of Lenin, Stalin and C5
from Baff we see in 93, 96, BISHOP five.
So this is a very, very interesting version of the sit in the fence.
Ludovic Rosolino G six Seefried.
So why establishes a center quite, quite rapidly.
A former Texan, Bishop Bishop, G7 White Castles.
We see a sex.
The Bishop is volunteered.
It's given up for the night and now very interesting move DeFore.
So it looks like this is kind of a gambit and it is.
It's kind of a scary gambit to take that.
So Baff tries to play on the safe side with Desex with the King Center.
It's not advisable to take such pawns.
We see rookie one, Bishop G4 and now White does gain, though Aspies thought the five, the queen goes
the C seven, a five.
So this means that if ever any B five does have the option, which will fragment blacks pawns bit,
leaving an ASX backwood pawn.
We've seen lots of things like to black castles age free Bishopsgate suffering 19 Zafrin 97 Bishop F4.
So it looks as though White's interested potentially in a strategic pawn break.
At some points we see B5 and now the Ampersands is used Quintet's B six and now refer to protecting
B to A maybe sometimes queeny one is handy to put more pressure on a sex queen.
B five Nolita Brooke Brookfield's, Bishop G five.
Looking at E seven.
The King comes to protect E seven.
And then we see Queen G for so very interesting position.
Eighty-six
Bishop evry notify the Queen goes to eight four and now g five sets of a probing move.
Actually pawns don't go backwards.
The pawns will encourage forwards cuidad five ninety four and now we see age for trying to undermine
Black's pawn structure.
1962 Bishop Tastee Turner Queen Bee Free.
This is actually a mistake here.
Queen C4 is in three better.
So for example, this situation and it should be more interesting position which is about equal actually
Black-Scholes sufficient counterplay and say this situation, it's just, it's about equal.
But with queen bee free we see the rook going to A1 eight, A1, not eight.
I want eight, I want Quincy to see one.
And now with this pawn on the fire, we have G takes a four.
But I'm Bishop Tate's age six and Black's king is kind of precarious.
King safety issues rotates B2 OK, blackheads.
Looking at F2 here we have Bishop sixty seven.
Jack King thanks.
Queen G five Jack King and now Queen six eight four which protects the Queen but also more significantly
threatens Queen.
Checkmate.
We see King eight and now if I have a very interesting strategic pome break in its own right as well
as foresting.
Aetate these things concretely details states e five so friends then Queen Sites is a mate check to
be checking check to.
So the front is on here and needs to be buried.
We see f but here now very very interesting move desex.
This pawn cannot take on E five because there would still be queen size is a checkmate.
So we have actually this move, it's also far too dangerous to take this drug because it rotates even
check and then mating hair on the back roads of the blacking is feeling some pressure.
So King, the seven rogue states is seven.
Check King, see sex.
And now roadsigns one queen.
Makes me want Queen 66, so one is two pawns of the king is not safe for the black kings, not safe.
We see the queen retreating.
Roxxy seven CHAC can be six.
And now Queen Efram, we see the game ending here.
Baff is pretty upset.
And talk about this.
If the game continues, say with King a five 10 Reluctancy five Jack and Queen Bee five is very, very
strong fractioning rook A5 meeting the queen is controlling before his game.
Squire if rook five chank rook to Jack Rody to France then queen a two track and Quincy to mate.
So the king is just getting in big, big trouble here for example, like this.
And you know one can actually go for the charmayne like this for example.
So yeah, an interesting game.
So it was actually based on a real game.
So the game actually ending here.
So yeah.
Beth does fear.
Off and this sets the scene for the later encounter.
OK, as much.
