WEBVTT 00:01.110 --> 00:01.980 Hi there. 00:02.010 --> 00:04.980 In this lecture, we see micro atoms against Simon. 00:04.980 --> 00:09.090 Kim Williams is in the 2011 British Round seven. 00:09.090 --> 00:12.180 So Simon Williams is also known as Ginger GM. 00:12.180 --> 00:19.590 So E four and the Ginger Gene plays a Sicilian defense knight and free from Michael Adams. 00:19.590 --> 00:22.070 We have 96 and our bishop be five. 00:22.080 --> 00:25.590 This is a kind of anticipation of move. 00:25.680 --> 00:32.840 If you play this Sicilian generally you're looking for why place D four and we get a sharp game here, 00:32.850 --> 00:37.350 a sharp tactical game for example, here, E, five, 95, etc.. 00:38.670 --> 00:44.220 So this is also known as the limo system or the mass medicine of attack. 00:44.820 --> 00:46.440 So we have D six. 00:46.980 --> 00:50.100 Adams scores actually quite well with Bishop B five. 00:50.100 --> 00:57.990 As you might suspect, it is more positional in nature than the sharp tactical Sicilian lines we see. 00:57.990 --> 01:04.020 White Castling, Bishop de seven and our rookie one In fact once plan is very similar to royal appears 01:04.020 --> 01:06.660 plan except Clarke has played this assassin in defense. 01:06.660 --> 01:15.780 So 956c free to construct a nice pawn center a six The bishop tucks away back at F one Bishop G four 01:15.780 --> 01:19.740 we have H three and now Black curiously played Bishop H five. 01:19.740 --> 01:22.050 This might actually be an inaccuracy. 01:22.050 --> 01:29.250 Giving up the light squared Bishop does mean that black has better grip sometimes on the dark squares 01:29.940 --> 01:31.590 because that knight is defending dark square. 01:31.590 --> 01:38.490 So this position, for example, Queen Geoffrey Black could play G six and White's advantage is minimized 01:38.490 --> 01:41.130 here, whereas only a small edge. 01:41.130 --> 01:48.060 But in the game with Bishop H five things are very interesting now after a forcing move g four which 01:48.060 --> 01:49.590 ordinarily you might think is weakening. 01:49.590 --> 01:52.350 But all these weaknesses exploitable. 01:52.350 --> 01:59.130 There's a bishop hanging around here, so the bishop goes back and now this is a surprising tactical 01:59.130 --> 02:00.420 positional move. 02:00.420 --> 02:01.620 What would you play here for? 02:01.620 --> 02:02.610 100 points. 02:06.040 --> 02:09.640 Yeah, we can actually construct the sensor, believe it or not, with the form. 02:09.760 --> 02:13.900 Now that took on D four, if nine takes E four, this is a trap. 02:14.560 --> 02:17.650 Can you see what white place for ten points? 02:19.910 --> 02:20.410 Yeah. 02:20.880 --> 02:22.400 D5, It's a trap. 02:22.820 --> 02:28.580 The night moves and then we have Rook takes E for Bishop C for Queen A for Czech, and we're picking 02:28.580 --> 02:31.130 up material, so that's nice. 02:31.130 --> 02:32.900 Picking up two pieces for a rook. 02:33.140 --> 02:40.190 So C takes D4 is played, C takes the form and already it seems uneasy. 02:40.220 --> 02:41.330 Black's possession. 02:42.440 --> 02:47.510 We have D five if e sex white can push with D5. 02:47.510 --> 02:50.000 This looks kind of dangerous after 94. 02:50.030 --> 03:00.710 Looking at e six the Kingston Center if h five is example g59 takes e four might complete f four. 03:01.190 --> 03:03.770 And let's say 97 D takes e six. 03:03.770 --> 03:07.440 This doesn't write this position after 966. 03:07.460 --> 03:08.330 Queen Bee six. 03:08.330 --> 03:10.330 Check Bishop E three. 03:10.340 --> 03:11.210 Queen Bee two. 03:11.210 --> 03:12.950 The king is still in the center. 03:13.400 --> 03:15.350 And white is just better off. 03:15.350 --> 03:16.550 The Bishop d4. 03:16.940 --> 03:18.860 This is very, very nice. 03:19.070 --> 03:21.350 So, yes, very dangerous situation. 03:21.350 --> 03:30.110 So we have d5e takes d59 times D five now nine C free, E six and now nine takes the five, Queen takes 03:30.110 --> 03:31.640 D five and Bishop G two. 03:31.850 --> 03:33.380 So this is quite vicious. 03:33.380 --> 03:38.330 The Queen really can't leave the D five square here Rook is played. 03:39.230 --> 03:44.780 Pardon me if Queen D then there's d five with the king in the center. 03:44.780 --> 03:49.010 This looks like an embarrassing lack of development and king safety. 03:49.010 --> 03:55.070 After D takes E six, we can actually cash out here with E, ten, seven and not mind the exchange of 03:55.070 --> 03:55.580 queens. 03:55.580 --> 03:56.930 This is just great for us. 03:57.530 --> 04:00.020 So, okay, Rook D is played. 04:00.020 --> 04:07.700 We have Bishop G five provoking weaknesses and there's a super annoying move coming up after F six. 04:07.790 --> 04:09.050 Guess what that is? 04:09.320 --> 04:10.460 400 points. 04:12.250 --> 04:16.870 And kind of forces simplification with advantage here already. 04:17.680 --> 04:27.010 So f6 Yeah we have a forcing move 95 So looking at the queen, we have queen sized evil and now Knights 04:27.190 --> 04:33.130 C six Queen D one virtually forced Rook a 21. 04:34.250 --> 04:39.740 Pair of rooks come off, be 26, and we're in a kind of simplified end game. 04:40.130 --> 04:41.690 Now, you might want to hold on a second. 04:41.720 --> 04:42.740 Hold on the sack. 04:43.010 --> 04:43.970 There's a choice here. 04:44.000 --> 04:45.830 What about taking the bishop? 04:46.160 --> 04:53.750 So B tanks was played, but if taking the bishop rook, the eight Shaq can have 795 check. 04:54.500 --> 04:55.640 And here. 04:56.580 --> 05:03.810 If King of six we can actually find nine times g six each takes and not minds the opposite kind of bishops. 05:03.840 --> 05:10.150 Now the rook can take on H because of F eight and Y is significantly better here. 05:10.170 --> 05:12.180 The pawns are diabolical, actually. 05:12.180 --> 05:13.350 Treble pawns. 05:13.620 --> 05:14.000 Oh, dear. 05:14.010 --> 05:16.290 It's the rowing team is out here today. 05:16.290 --> 05:17.970 The rowing team in this position. 05:18.200 --> 05:19.770 I just explain the rowing team. 05:19.770 --> 05:25.410 This reminds me of the rowers on the rivers when they're there, rowing against each other. 05:25.410 --> 05:26.340 These races. 05:26.340 --> 05:31.140 Because you can imagine the pawns like rowing with the paddles like this. 05:31.620 --> 05:37.380 And so, yes, I just want to explain that you might not that might be lost in translation. 05:37.380 --> 05:43.290 So anyway so B takes is played Bishop take C six Czech king of seven. 05:43.290 --> 05:50.400 And this is still unpleasant outcome from the opening white controlling key things having authority 05:50.400 --> 05:51.420 relative authority. 05:51.420 --> 05:55.770 In this position we have Bishop E seven and now this nasty pen wrote these seven. 05:55.800 --> 06:00.500 We have Roxy eight, Bishop B seven, Roxy two. 06:00.510 --> 06:03.870 Now the rook stands God of C five. 06:03.870 --> 06:06.030 Otherwise Bishop C five could be painful. 06:06.030 --> 06:09.030 And in fact, white plays, Bishop takes a six. 06:09.030 --> 06:13.440 So there's a 2 to 0 pool majority on the Queen side. 06:13.590 --> 06:18.150 We have Bishop E four if rook takes B two just to demonstrate. 06:18.150 --> 06:19.860 Bishop C five What does black do? 06:20.400 --> 06:21.360 Nasty pen. 06:21.360 --> 06:24.300 It's just winning material, this position Just winning material. 06:24.300 --> 06:24.660 So. 06:24.660 --> 06:27.390 Bishop E four So why is now. 06:27.570 --> 06:30.530 Yeah, it looks like a very unpleasant position. 06:30.540 --> 06:32.160 A pawn down the blank. 06:32.490 --> 06:36.180 We have Bishop B seven. 06:38.620 --> 06:43.380 If yeah, this isn't a very accurate move to repel the bishop. 06:43.390 --> 06:49.840 Very, very accurate if a afraid just to give an example of a move which isn't so optimal. 06:49.840 --> 06:54.490 King eight will unpin And that means there's no bishop see five penalty. 06:54.490 --> 07:02.500 So rook takes B to happens and it's even so against Bishop B seven we have the bishop going back to 07:02.500 --> 07:03.370 G six. 07:04.210 --> 07:06.610 If Bishop takes B seven, rook takes. 07:06.610 --> 07:07.960 This is just great for white. 07:08.560 --> 07:10.870 If King ain't, we're actually just going to play. 07:10.870 --> 07:12.190 Bishop takes e four eggs. 07:12.190 --> 07:13.240 We're hitting the rook. 07:13.300 --> 07:14.800 Doesn't matter about D seven. 07:15.640 --> 07:21.130 Okay, so Bishop G six Bishop and three another. 07:21.130 --> 07:22.690 I mean, there's other moves here now. 07:22.690 --> 07:24.280 A four was also strong. 07:24.430 --> 07:26.260 This position is also strong for white. 07:26.260 --> 07:27.970 But Bishop and is nice. 07:28.390 --> 07:29.860 We have King ain't. 07:31.050 --> 07:32.520 And now Rugby seven. 07:34.440 --> 07:35.550 Bishop dd six. 07:36.060 --> 07:37.200 Bishop dd one. 07:38.040 --> 07:38.730 C seven. 07:39.600 --> 07:40.140 Yes. 07:40.140 --> 07:41.480 This looks very unfortunate. 07:41.490 --> 07:41.790 Bishop. 07:41.790 --> 07:42.710 A full check. 07:42.740 --> 07:44.400 Kiwi seven And now Bishop. 07:44.400 --> 07:44.580 See? 07:44.580 --> 07:45.180 Six. 07:46.050 --> 07:49.200 So yes, Black is kind of contained here. 07:49.980 --> 07:50.490 Very well. 07:50.490 --> 07:52.050 Bishop C two, F three. 07:52.260 --> 07:53.070 King the eight. 07:53.520 --> 07:54.780 And now more simplification. 07:54.780 --> 07:55.770 Bishop B six. 07:56.820 --> 07:59.010 We have Bishop C five check tactic. 07:59.010 --> 08:01.950 Very important here for black not to lose too much material. 08:01.950 --> 08:03.330 Bishop take C five. 08:03.330 --> 08:07.110 So opposite the bishops is their salvation in Black's position here. 08:07.830 --> 08:14.520 Let's see, we have B four rook six rook takes G seven rook takes a two. 08:14.520 --> 08:17.490 But now Bishop E seven check picks up another pawn. 08:17.490 --> 08:19.650 So this is two pawns down now. 08:21.810 --> 08:29.370 So King D thinks should be free Rook D eight check King C six and now Rook D3. 08:29.400 --> 08:30.090 This is very nice. 08:30.090 --> 08:33.630 Play holding a free holding things intact. 08:33.840 --> 08:36.300 Bishop D five Rook C Free check. 08:36.450 --> 08:37.290 King B five. 08:37.290 --> 08:38.010 Bishop E seven. 08:38.010 --> 08:39.180 Holding B four. 08:39.930 --> 08:41.460 Rook d2h4. 08:41.460 --> 08:44.070 So this poor majority over here is significant. 08:44.610 --> 08:46.440 E five We have rookie free. 08:48.180 --> 08:48.600 King. 08:48.600 --> 08:51.070 See for Bishop, see five stops. 08:51.090 --> 08:53.520 KING Before king is restricted. 08:54.000 --> 08:58.530 It's like Capablanca trying to crush the opponents pieces and end game restrict the opponent's king 08:58.530 --> 09:01.290 as far as possible, restrict the opponent's pieces. 09:01.470 --> 09:03.630 H five King D five. 09:04.830 --> 09:08.550 C Frame Bishop eight for Bishop F two. 09:08.550 --> 09:16.200 Now, this kind of liberates the king potentially to use G two b2 brook C five check kingly six Bishop 09:16.200 --> 09:19.680 G free looking at e five So rook be one check. 09:19.680 --> 09:27.090 The king finally moves its allowance move route B to check moves back actually four moments some playing 09:27.090 --> 09:32.850 around now King H free rookie two and now King H for the king is making progress. 09:33.510 --> 09:38.930 Bishop c6i know F for safeguarding by moving e tanks. 09:38.940 --> 09:43.320 Bishop takes F four, check King D seven and B five. 09:43.710 --> 09:45.870 White is making progress on both sides of the board. 09:45.870 --> 09:51.270 Rookie five Bishop free Now with this pair of rooks, this simplifies things. 09:51.570 --> 09:55.440 B six King C six Black is kind of overloaded here. 09:55.800 --> 10:00.240 Bishop E Free King d7g51 is absolutely willing. 10:00.480 --> 10:03.070 Resigned here, moved 64. 10:03.090 --> 10:07.980 If King C sinks G six breakthrough pass Pawn is winning. 10:07.980 --> 10:16.590 So for example, H takes h six and black and tactically stop h seven with g five check. 10:16.590 --> 10:20.360 But the white king just goes to g seven to win the bishop. 10:20.370 --> 10:23.540 We're just going to win the bishop with h seven and then come back to Queen the pawn. 10:23.550 --> 10:25.110 There's no problem queening that pawn. 10:25.440 --> 10:29.100 So yes, the game ended at move 60 4g5. 10:29.490 --> 10:37.020 So yeah very interesting game anti kind of tactical Sicilian keeping it very positional from the opening 10:37.440 --> 10:42.660 and in this this game is a bit like me playing Paul George you know Paul George would torture me with 10:42.660 --> 10:47.940 positional moves like Bishop B five and he will talk about chess psychology If you're playing a tactical 10:47.940 --> 10:52.800 player, dynamic tactical player, you want to keep things positional to annoy them because their tactical 10:52.800 --> 10:55.410 strengths won't be realized. 10:55.950 --> 10:59.130 You want to keep their strengths bottled up, the tactical players. 10:59.130 --> 11:05.820 So this is really, it seems, more suited for Michael Adams's repertoire, positional player. 11:05.820 --> 11:13.890 And if we can take ideas from the Adams repertoire, yeah, with Bishop be fine. 11:13.920 --> 11:18.060 It's just a very popular move in recent years in general as well. 11:18.060 --> 11:24.420 It's just very simple plans, relatively simple compared to razor sharp Sicilian suppression of positions. 11:24.420 --> 11:29.610 So I hope you enjoyed this, this kind of Roy Lopez in approach to the position, just building up a 11:29.610 --> 11:35.670 classic center tactically justified here with four and there's all sorts of problems to string out the 11:35.670 --> 11:36.330 opening. 11:36.330 --> 11:38.550 So absolutely fascinating stuff. 11:38.550 --> 11:40.080 So I hope you enjoyed this one. 11:40.680 --> 11:41.490 Thanks very much.
