Hi there.
In this lecture, we see Graham Burgess against Michael Adams.
In 1989, the 13 points back Monsters Open Round ten.
We see the fall from Graham Burgess Knight of Sex affray.
So this actually goes into Queen's Indian territory of the e6c4.
So why is avoided with this move?
Order The Nims are Indian we have now b six so the nims are Indian
usually is in this move order of six, c4e69c for allowing this pen.
So as a plywood black you need to know the names of an engine, but also the Queen's Indian territory.
So we have to have three E, six, c4b6a free bishop, a six, Quincy two, bishop B seven.
So you might think this is a waste of tempo, but the Queen has been taken away from influencing.
D four We have Bishop G five and H six and white volunteers that dance square Bishop we have Queen takes
F six, E, four, c5d, five D, six nine, C, three, E, five, bishop E two and now g6b4 97 Queen
A for the queen drops back 90 2h5 is played to give this new resource.
Bishop H six, B S.C C five.
And here we have Bishop takes D to change.
So giving back the bishop D ten C five, 9b5.
This is a bit of an inaccuracy.
It seems here.
It seems as though H four and one should be fine.
It has certain assets like the protected parts pawn.
Now sure it's blocked table.
So this scenario, as example, should be though in White's favor.
So for example, here I can even play tactically with 94 well for positional purposes to put the knight
on d free to improve that piece.
And as example, you know why it's doing pretty well here but with might be five.
This makes Black's task easier in some respects.
Adams Castles 96 we have Queen C seven.
Knight takes B seven, Queen six, B seven, G four.
So this is actually a bit fragmentation G four and is kind of weakening pawns.
We have H takes g for bishops.
hg49, ten, six, F three and now King G seven.
And Black is in a position to adequately defend for the moment.
h4h8.
However, y has a very interesting idea.
H five pawn sacrifice.
G Thanks.
And just to put the bishop on.
F five So the king seems a little bit concerning here with these rooks and the Queen looking at D seven
and this pawn.
So white does have a point.
We have king f eight, rook hg1 king e7f4.
Trying to open up things.
Queen C seven.
Yeah.
If E takes a four, that's very, very dangerous.
Four Black.
Black would have to give up a piece.
This is just too strong.
This t six.
It looks visibly crushing.
If black has to give up a piece like this, this isn't very promising.
White should have a big advantage here.
So Queen C seven important.
Keep the blockade on the dark squares here.
Queen C six now.
Very interesting.
Perhaps slightly inaccurate.
Queen bee free this way of playing it.
Just keep the pressure going, for example, with Queen B to keep the pressure going and the tension.
And it should be even with Quincy six, Adams actually takes that and now dares to take on F four.
We have E five and now Rook eight.
Check.
This seems slightly inaccurate.
It seems as though Knight G four was possible here.
As example, if Bishop takes G4, this is going to be fine for black.
This situation, this end game.
Black is a pawn up and it's just very promising.
Black's going to get an advantage here.
Black has the advantage here.
Rather.
If c79 times e five, king of six.
This is absolutely fine for black as well.
Okay.
So 94 was very interesting, but our rook 88 check is played.
King free 98.
Rook G five.
Slightly inaccurate here.
Bishop D seven.
And this situation with Rook H for rook have one.
And if one takes 26 now this position should be about even.
It's pretty tricky, these endgame scenarios.
But this should be about even for example.
Yeah.
If the king tries to get to C six, then rook six happens.
This is about even.
But Rook G five was played.
We have rook D four rook h takes h five rook takes h five rotates h five.
And now the magic of passport potential is shown.
F3 is played and it forces white to be accurate here.
White hands play Bishop H free with equality, but White plays Bishop D seven and now things are super
interesting.
We have 9g7 hitting the rock Rook seven and in this position Black has essentially a forced win.
This pawn is only two squares away from queening and F two is played, which is strong, but also there's
a forcing line here to do with that past pawn.
Can you see it?
It's really quite remarkable.
It seems as though it's totally in time to catch the pass --, but it's not the case.
Black can actually afford to play Rook 67, believe it or not, because of the C 60 7f2.
It looks as though it's totally in time, but now 95 so black is French thing might g free or not e
free for f one.
And the thing is.
It doesn't help Rook F1.
There's either Nike free or Nike free.
Both worked very well because Rook takes F to 91 check or even the other way.
It's it's a fun position where because the king being placed there ends up being lost.
So this is very dangerous.
So 95 taking the free.
There's no g free though.
And then queening.
So yes, disastrous.
So anyway, F2 is played here, which is also strong.
Bishop H free is now played if Rook H one.
Again, we have these variations which are amazing.
Rook takes these seven C takes 95.
And why isn't in time here to stop things just going into this check.
So, Bishop H free.
We have 96.
And now Bishop, S.C., thinks.
And guess what Adams plays here, which is.
Super strong in this position.
Yeah.
Rocket.
This is super strong.
King takes E sinks is also kind of good.
This this resulting end game is good for playing as well.
But with brook, our fall won't place Brook H one if one of the points is if Bishop H.
You guess what we have here which is crushing.
We've got more tracks here.
We've got our free check and rook takes h free hitting the rook and threatening to Queen.
Overwhelming.
So after careful rook one is played F takes e6 end of game won't resigned.
If Rook f one King d8c2.
King C seven Kingsley one king.
Take C six.
And this resulting end game is hopeless.
White can't afford the transition into the king and pawn ending, so this is just easily winning for
black in the end.
So the game ended on F tanks E six.
So that was end of game.
Yeah, a fun one.
It's interesting, this super solid choice in Adams, you know, positional opening repertoire avoids
situations like the Kings and in offense which is more about calculation and kind of luck sometimes
if you're lucky with the attack.
No this is a positional approach.
Adams got the best power out of the opening, and it seems White's attack won't last for a tank created
some weak pawns and a very dangerous possible in the end, as the story goes in this particular game.
So a dangerous pass point emerged.
So it's quite fascinating.
And the resources around the pass pawn, it was actually quite a dangerous position for black to be
fair of F for.
Yeah, it's was doing black favors.
Quincy thinks that possible note.
Yeah.
It becomes very dangerous now.
So 9g4 was a good move here for an accurate move.
So in the game.
Yeah this is this is just really interesting in the game so Rook 88 check in actually.
But Adams still managed to win here.
It's possible and super dangerous in this position.
Bishop H3 had to be played here.
So because of Bishop d72 steps away, remarkable resources creep into the possession of the 97, factoring
in not just the past pawn, but also where the king is, where the king lives on C free becomes comes
into it because of this knight jumping in.
It's rather remarkable that this knight can be so dangerous in these scenarios because of the king possession.
Absolutely amazing stuff.
So, yeah, I hope you enjoyed this one.
Thanks so much.
