Chess lecture.com 3 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,200 I'd like to welcome you to today's game 4 00:00:18,466 --> 00:00:23,400 now today I will go over around 2 games from Linares 5 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:28,200 where white played by Ivanchuk against Peter Leko 6 00:00:28,633 --> 00:00:31,166 and we wanna see how Chucky 7 00:00:31,833 --> 00:00:34,900 the so called or crazy Chucky 8 00:00:34,900 --> 00:00:37,100 handles the Marshall attack 9 00:00:37,566 --> 00:00:39,500 and Ivan Chuk is extremely 10 00:00:39,500 --> 00:00:41,566 extremely original chess player 11 00:00:41,700 --> 00:00:43,900 and Marshall attack is real 12 00:00:43,900 --> 00:00:44,466 real 13 00:00:44,466 --> 00:00:48,000 annoying to anyone who plays the Royal Lopez as white 14 00:00:48,233 --> 00:00:51,766 so I think this battle is really fun to watch 15 00:00:52,433 --> 00:00:53,800 so let's start 16 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,166 E4 E5 17 00:00:58,300 --> 00:01:00,366 knight of three 96 18 00:01:01,100 --> 00:01:04,366 there should be five so we're just following the main 19 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,333 royal opossum should be four 20 00:01:08,566 --> 00:01:09,800 knight of six 21 00:01:11,633 --> 00:01:12,566 castles 22 00:01:14,766 --> 00:01:15,933 you should be 7 23 00:01:16,666 --> 00:01:17,500 g 1 24 00:01:17,966 --> 00:01:19,100 b 5 25 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,966 you should be 3 and castles 26 00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:25,733 so here we are 27 00:01:27,166 --> 00:01:30,333 black doesn't play d 6 but castles 28 00:01:30,666 --> 00:01:33,966 and basically says 29 00:01:33,966 --> 00:01:37,333 I'm ready to go into the Marshall attack 30 00:01:37,500 --> 00:01:40,666 which is c 3 d five 31 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,200 and as a matter of fact 32 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,866 there was a great game by Black 33 00:01:48,100 --> 00:01:51,266 Aronian against Anand from the same tournament 34 00:01:51,500 --> 00:01:53,933 where Aronian won a game in a beautiful 35 00:01:54,466 --> 00:01:55,600 attack and stuff 36 00:01:57,066 --> 00:02:01,133 so of course Ivancho is aware of all the theory 37 00:02:02,233 --> 00:02:04,100 and he doesn't want to go into discussion 38 00:02:04,100 --> 00:02:06,666 the main lines he's a very original player 39 00:02:06,766 --> 00:02:14,100 and he comes up with a brilliant or original idea 40 00:02:14,500 --> 00:02:16,466 so first he plays D4 41 00:02:16,900 --> 00:02:19,700 this is a well known attempt to try to 42 00:02:19,833 --> 00:02:21,933 avoid the main lines of the Marshall 43 00:02:22,833 --> 00:02:23,933 and now 44 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:26,700 black usually takes 45 00:02:27,466 --> 00:02:30,966 so another move actually 46 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:36,400 to play d 6 and try to play along the mainstream lines 47 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:37,733 which is quite solid 48 00:02:38,500 --> 00:02:41,466 but this basically transpose into 49 00:02:41,500 --> 00:02:44,133 mainstream lines of Ryan Lopez except 50 00:02:45,966 --> 00:02:48,700 the bishop goes to G4 okay 51 00:02:48,700 --> 00:02:51,666 but the ideas are quite similar 52 00:02:55,033 --> 00:02:59,066 alright so now this is the most 53 00:03:00,966 --> 00:03:04,366 well known way to try to achieve a good game for black 54 00:03:07,266 --> 00:03:08,800 night takes d 4 55 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,700 and here instead of the normal looking night takes d 4 56 00:03:14,066 --> 00:03:17,833 e takes e 5 night e 8 57 00:03:17,833 --> 00:03:19,000 which is all theory 58 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,500 and consider that more or less black is okay 59 00:03:23,500 --> 00:03:27,866 I want you to plays the crazy looking move 60 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,600 Bishop takes f 7 wow 61 00:03:33,566 --> 00:03:34,500 it's really 62 00:03:34,500 --> 00:03:37,666 really hard to see this move during the game 63 00:03:38,166 --> 00:03:40,166 and as a matter of fact 64 00:03:40,233 --> 00:03:42,233 he's not the first one to play this 65 00:03:42,233 --> 00:03:44,733 there have been people playing this move before 66 00:03:45,100 --> 00:03:47,766 but look at the originality of this move 67 00:03:48,266 --> 00:03:54,466 white gives up his powerful bishop on the f 7 square 68 00:03:54,466 --> 00:03:55,966 where it's defended twice 69 00:03:55,966 --> 00:03:57,700 with the rook and with the king 70 00:03:59,833 --> 00:04:03,600 so this must have been as a total shock to black 71 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,866 especially if he hasn't seen this move before 72 00:04:06,866 --> 00:04:08,933 but of course we all know that Leko 73 00:04:09,066 --> 00:04:12,366 is a very well prepared in the opening 74 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:18,000 so he takes with the rook and of course not king takes 75 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,066 simply loses 76 00:04:19,700 --> 00:04:23,533 night takes e 5 and queen takes d 4 so this is no good 77 00:04:25,100 --> 00:04:28,066 and now simply night takes e five 78 00:04:29,866 --> 00:04:34,300 so what is White's idea he gave up the bishop 79 00:04:35,300 --> 00:04:36,766 he got the two pawns back 80 00:04:36,766 --> 00:04:38,166 and now the knight on d 4 81 00:04:38,166 --> 00:04:40,066 and the rook on f 7 under attack 82 00:04:41,166 --> 00:04:43,066 so this is the whole point 83 00:04:44,100 --> 00:04:46,333 is this sound well 84 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,700 it's hard to say we have to go deeper into the game 85 00:04:50,700 --> 00:04:53,766 and hopefully after today's lecture 86 00:04:53,766 --> 00:04:56,200 we're gonna have some kind of idea what's going on 87 00:04:57,233 --> 00:05:00,666 but let me just tell you that in the later round 88 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,366 Ivanchuk played against Aronian 89 00:05:04,633 --> 00:05:06,766 and he didn't go for this line 90 00:05:08,366 --> 00:05:11,566 he actually played Knight takes Knight 91 00:05:12,833 --> 00:05:16,600 E takes e 5 night e 8 92 00:05:18,033 --> 00:05:19,800 Queen takes d 4 93 00:05:20,233 --> 00:05:24,466 bishop b 7 and more or less about even position 94 00:05:28,100 --> 00:05:30,900 where Ivan Chop managed to outplay Aronian 95 00:05:30,900 --> 00:05:34,100 and only blundered in complete winning position 96 00:05:34,100 --> 00:05:36,133 blunder a whole piece in time pressure 97 00:05:37,300 --> 00:05:39,366 so this is something for 98 00:05:40,766 --> 00:05:42,666 the so called experts to figure out 99 00:05:42,666 --> 00:05:44,700 why Ivan Chuk didn't repeat this 100 00:05:44,700 --> 00:05:47,866 maybe there is much better 101 00:05:48,633 --> 00:05:51,400 play for black found in post mortem 102 00:05:52,366 --> 00:05:56,066 but after d 4 Knight takes Bishop takes F7 103 00:05:56,066 --> 00:06:00,900 nevertheless happened in the Ivanchuk versus Leko game 104 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:08,266 so Rook takes this is kind of obvious night takes 105 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,933 so let's see what Lego came up with during the game 106 00:06:16,066 --> 00:06:18,366 so he simply plays rook to f 107 00:06:19,633 --> 00:06:21,766 saying that hey 108 00:06:22,566 --> 00:06:24,300 you gave up that bishop 109 00:06:25,466 --> 00:06:27,366 and I'm gonna give you the night back 110 00:06:27,366 --> 00:06:31,033 but as a result I'm gonna have such powerful piece play 111 00:06:31,033 --> 00:06:35,800 because you only have the queen and the knight 112 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,433 and maybe the rook developed 113 00:06:37,433 --> 00:06:37,833 while 114 00:06:37,833 --> 00:06:40,500 black is pretty much almost done with his development 115 00:06:41,833 --> 00:06:43,366 but let's see 116 00:06:43,633 --> 00:06:47,366 what happens if black tries to save the knight 117 00:06:47,366 --> 00:06:48,933 and instead gives up the rook 118 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,200 so basically he's gonna have two pieces for the rook 119 00:06:56,100 --> 00:06:59,700 so one way to try to save the knight is to play c five 120 00:07:02,466 --> 00:07:04,900 and now after night takes f 7 121 00:07:05,700 --> 00:07:06,733 King takes 122 00:07:07,633 --> 00:07:11,766 white can unleash powerful attack with e five 123 00:07:13,633 --> 00:07:15,666 and it turns out that 124 00:07:15,766 --> 00:07:18,333 black pieces are really poorly coordinated 125 00:07:18,833 --> 00:07:23,133 if the knight goes to d 5 this simply loses to c three 126 00:07:25,033 --> 00:07:28,000 and if the knight goes to e 8 or g 8 127 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,133 well look at the king 128 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,333 so probably e 8 is better so that after queen h 5 129 00:07:35,966 --> 00:07:40,366 the king can go to g 8 but even in this position 130 00:07:40,366 --> 00:07:43,900 let's say c 3 knight e six 131 00:07:47,166 --> 00:07:47,900 well actually 132 00:07:47,900 --> 00:07:50,200 night e six loses because of queen of three checks 133 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,833 so I mean it's not so easy to play 134 00:07:52,833 --> 00:07:54,800 you gotta play maybe night C six 135 00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,866 and even night C6 is not that great 136 00:07:59,866 --> 00:08:02,966 because Queen d five check 137 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,433 and the king really feels uncomfortable 138 00:08:05,433 --> 00:08:06,600 has to go on a faith 139 00:08:07,300 --> 00:08:10,166 and now white can continue the crazy 140 00:08:11,066 --> 00:08:14,533 attack with rook e 3 and rook f 3 141 00:08:14,866 --> 00:08:16,866 so basically this is really 142 00:08:16,866 --> 00:08:20,600 really bad and black has to defend 143 00:08:22,433 --> 00:08:26,800 with all his might so Leko makes the right choice 144 00:08:29,900 --> 00:08:35,000 or actually C5 is a possibility 145 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,933 but night E6 is another possibility and even here 146 00:08:40,866 --> 00:08:43,600 after e 5 this is really bad 147 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:44,600 because when the night moves 148 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,166 queen have 3 check and the rook is lost 149 00:08:47,166 --> 00:08:48,700 so basically this is very 150 00:08:48,700 --> 00:08:49,500 very tough 151 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,966 so Leko makes the right choice and goes into this line 152 00:08:53,966 --> 00:08:55,333 now queen takes knight 153 00:08:56,700 --> 00:08:59,233 and how does black get the activity 154 00:08:59,233 --> 00:09:02,166 well d 6 is bad because of night C 6 155 00:09:02,700 --> 00:09:06,366 but the right move is to keep pressure with c five 156 00:09:07,833 --> 00:09:08,500 and really 157 00:09:08,500 --> 00:09:11,133 white has no better move than to go queen d 1 158 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,333 and now black is playing tempo move 159 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,333 with queen c seven 160 00:09:21,900 --> 00:09:23,266 again C6 161 00:09:23,266 --> 00:09:24,066 sorry again 162 00:09:24,100 --> 00:09:26,566 d six is bad because of night C6 163 00:09:26,833 --> 00:09:29,333 so Queen C7 is the right way to play 164 00:09:29,666 --> 00:09:30,733 hitting the night 165 00:09:31,233 --> 00:09:36,566 and now I went to plays the correct night G4 166 00:09:39,433 --> 00:09:41,000 so the idea here is 167 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,800 he doesn't mind the knight's getting exchanged 168 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,400 because the d 5 square this is the whole point 169 00:09:46,666 --> 00:09:49,733 because without the e pawn and the c pawn on c 5 170 00:09:49,900 --> 00:09:52,066 d 5 square is really really weak 171 00:09:52,966 --> 00:09:55,933 so night g 4 and now 172 00:09:55,966 --> 00:09:57,733 this basically leads 173 00:09:58,266 --> 00:10:00,866 by force to the following position 174 00:10:01,033 --> 00:10:04,266 so night takes queen takes 175 00:10:05,500 --> 00:10:08,000 d 5 a tempo move hitting the queen 176 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,966 queen h 5 hitting the pawn 177 00:10:17,633 --> 00:10:20,033 and now what well 178 00:10:20,033 --> 00:10:22,966 now we got ourselves a forced line 179 00:10:22,966 --> 00:10:25,966 after d takes e queen check 180 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,766 so black is sacrificing the rook temporarily 181 00:10:31,100 --> 00:10:32,100 king gets shade 182 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,533 queen takes a 8 183 00:10:35,033 --> 00:10:41,933 and then leco traps check his queen with bishop b seven 184 00:10:43,766 --> 00:10:47,066 so now white really has to give up the queen 185 00:10:47,066 --> 00:10:51,200 because after queen a 7 rook a 8 is coming 186 00:10:51,766 --> 00:10:54,166 so this was all I'm sure 187 00:10:54,300 --> 00:10:56,500 part of Ivan Shuk's preparation 188 00:10:56,900 --> 00:10:58,666 because both players 189 00:10:58,900 --> 00:11:03,100 are actually following a game from 2007 190 00:11:03,966 --> 00:11:06,266 where white was a very strong grandmaster 191 00:11:06,266 --> 00:11:11,066 about 2580 player and he actually played queen 6 f 8 192 00:11:11,766 --> 00:11:13,966 and eventually the game was a draw 193 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,600 and of course knowing the originality of Chucky 194 00:11:18,166 --> 00:11:22,200 he came up with a brilliant improvement Queen a seven 195 00:11:24,433 --> 00:11:26,866 and the whole point is to give up a queen 196 00:11:26,866 --> 00:11:29,266 in a much better position 197 00:11:29,566 --> 00:11:32,166 so now Rook a 8 is practically forced 198 00:11:33,500 --> 00:11:37,900 and now bishop f 4 very strong move 199 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,066 so you see this is a tempo developing move 200 00:11:43,766 --> 00:11:46,500 much better than what happened in the 201 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,200 original game 202 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,100 and now black has to expand the tempo with c 6 203 00:11:55,166 --> 00:11:56,766 Queen takes a 8 204 00:11:57,366 --> 00:11:58,966 Bishop takes a eight 205 00:11:59,900 --> 00:12:04,200 and now Bishop e 3 stopping the pawn advance 206 00:12:05,666 --> 00:12:07,500 so 21 moves 207 00:12:07,966 --> 00:12:12,900 and I'm pretty sure that Ivan Chuk willingly 208 00:12:14,700 --> 00:12:16,333 went for this position 209 00:12:17,433 --> 00:12:19,666 now as far as black concerned 210 00:12:20,433 --> 00:12:23,100 I'm not even sure if he was aware of this game 211 00:12:23,100 --> 00:12:25,366 but he did play the main move 212 00:12:25,366 --> 00:12:28,600 so he probably figured that this is good for black 213 00:12:29,900 --> 00:12:30,366 so 214 00:12:30,366 --> 00:12:32,966 this is the critical position of the whole variation 215 00:12:32,966 --> 00:12:34,533 with bishop takes f 7 216 00:12:35,300 --> 00:12:37,433 and let us try to evaluate this 217 00:12:37,433 --> 00:12:41,766 because this is very unorthodox the queen for two rooks 218 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,133 yet black has the two the bishop pair 219 00:12:46,866 --> 00:12:50,266 and white still yet to develop the knight 220 00:12:50,266 --> 00:12:52,600 and the knight really has no outpost 221 00:12:52,900 --> 00:12:54,900 and the rooks are kind of locked in 222 00:12:56,033 --> 00:12:57,533 so let's let's uh 223 00:12:58,233 --> 00:13:03,266 use our evaluation skills to try to say who is better 224 00:13:04,066 --> 00:13:06,766 and figure out the plans for either side 225 00:13:08,666 --> 00:13:14,066 so in terms of material what is better 226 00:13:14,066 --> 00:13:15,966 the queen or two rooks 227 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:24,500 so most always the two rooks are slightly better 228 00:13:26,766 --> 00:13:29,200 by about a pawn right 229 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,400 now on the other hand 230 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,166 we have the two bishops versus bishop at night 231 00:13:35,700 --> 00:13:39,300 which are better in this particular position 232 00:13:39,300 --> 00:13:40,733 because it's wide open 233 00:13:41,666 --> 00:13:43,466 and the bishops would be able to 234 00:13:43,466 --> 00:13:44,866 control the whole board 235 00:13:45,166 --> 00:13:48,100 whereas the knight really has no outpost 236 00:13:48,466 --> 00:13:49,700 and good squares 237 00:13:50,766 --> 00:13:55,433 so this probably goes slightly into Black's favor 238 00:13:55,433 --> 00:13:58,800 so the two rooks are slightly better than the queen 239 00:13:59,100 --> 00:14:01,933 two bishops are slightly better than the knight and 240 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:07,266 bishop so the material is completely balanced 241 00:14:08,433 --> 00:14:12,666 now king safety is about even 242 00:14:12,900 --> 00:14:15,233 we don't really see how black can create immediate 243 00:14:15,233 --> 00:14:15,600 danger 244 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,200 because the bishop on e 3 plays an important role 245 00:14:18,766 --> 00:14:21,300 and the rooks are not active yet 246 00:14:22,033 --> 00:14:24,900 so black king is quite safe on h eight 247 00:14:26,633 --> 00:14:28,400 now let's look at the pawns 248 00:14:28,500 --> 00:14:31,866 so white has a nice and even pawn structure 249 00:14:32,233 --> 00:14:35,200 whereas black has an isolated pawn on e 4 250 00:14:36,266 --> 00:14:38,266 so at least this could be a target 251 00:14:38,266 --> 00:14:40,666 but it's really hard to attack it 252 00:14:41,066 --> 00:14:43,800 because the queen and the bishop easily protect it 253 00:14:45,066 --> 00:14:48,800 so my initial assessment is it's about even 254 00:14:49,466 --> 00:14:52,433 but if you look deeper into this position 255 00:14:52,433 --> 00:14:54,100 from a practical perspective 256 00:14:54,100 --> 00:14:59,400 once somehow white either doubles up on the d file 257 00:14:59,666 --> 00:15:03,033 or opens up a 4 in the future 258 00:15:03,033 --> 00:15:07,666 once the rooks open up and get into Black's territory 259 00:15:07,666 --> 00:15:09,833 this could be unpleasant so 260 00:15:09,833 --> 00:15:13,400 I think black has to watch carefully 261 00:15:13,500 --> 00:15:18,000 to keep the files closed and try to counter 262 00:15:19,266 --> 00:15:24,300 any a 4 and any queen side play with attack on the king 263 00:15:26,466 --> 00:15:28,766 so let's see what happened in the game 264 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,333 so Queen F six 265 00:15:36,166 --> 00:15:38,400 like always putting pressure on the b 2 pawn 266 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,566 and transferring his queen on the king side 267 00:15:40,966 --> 00:15:42,566 and now c three 268 00:15:44,833 --> 00:15:46,966 Bishop d 6 so 269 00:15:46,966 --> 00:15:51,666 he's getting ready to put Maiden threats with queen e 5 270 00:15:51,666 --> 00:15:55,266 or queen h 4 trying to make white play g 3 271 00:15:55,466 --> 00:15:56,900 waking up the light squares 272 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:00,400 night D2 273 00:16:02,033 --> 00:16:07,266 and now I think Leko play the small 274 00:16:07,566 --> 00:16:10,200 it's hard to really say mistake 275 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,666 I would say small inaccuracy with Queen D5 276 00:16:15,100 --> 00:16:17,966 and you're gonna see shortly the reason why 277 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:20,633 again as I said earlier 278 00:16:20,633 --> 00:16:24,266 the key here is to open up the rook's 279 00:16:25,300 --> 00:16:28,366 the rook you can say is like a boat 280 00:16:29,066 --> 00:16:30,866 and the open line is a C 281 00:16:30,866 --> 00:16:34,066 so the rooks really need to have open lines to function 282 00:16:34,066 --> 00:16:36,000 well open files 283 00:16:36,433 --> 00:16:40,733 and a 4 is just asking to be played at the right moment 284 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,166 so I would probably stop any A4 285 00:16:47,066 --> 00:16:50,233 ideas completely with a simple looking move 286 00:16:50,233 --> 00:16:54,866 Bishop c six and then white would have to play Rook d 1 287 00:16:54,866 --> 00:16:58,566 maybe knight b 3 try to double up on the d file 288 00:16:58,766 --> 00:17:03,266 but at least no a 4 opening up the second open file 289 00:17:04,666 --> 00:17:06,000 queen e five 290 00:17:07,433 --> 00:17:10,766 invites g 3 and now bishop c 6 is impossible 291 00:17:11,566 --> 00:17:13,400 because of bishop f four 292 00:17:14,466 --> 00:17:17,600 and now you could see that queen move somewhere 293 00:17:18,266 --> 00:17:20,933 Bishop takes d 6 and I takes e 4 294 00:17:21,366 --> 00:17:23,300 or if queen d five 295 00:17:24,433 --> 00:17:28,666 good idea to play after Bishop takes e 3 296 00:17:29,300 --> 00:17:34,600 well now night takes e 4 and if Bishop takes f 4 297 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,733 we put a tempo move or d one 298 00:17:39,300 --> 00:17:41,600 back rank mates are in the air 299 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,533 Queen g 8 and g takes f 300 00:17:45,700 --> 00:17:47,200 so this position 301 00:17:47,866 --> 00:17:49,900 two rooks and the pawn up 302 00:17:49,900 --> 00:17:52,700 plus the weak back rank gives white big edge 303 00:17:54,500 --> 00:17:58,266 so as you see Queen E5 was a little bit of an accuracy 304 00:17:58,266 --> 00:18:03,100 I think because now a 4 is virtually unstoppable 305 00:18:05,266 --> 00:18:07,966 so that's why Leko plays H6 306 00:18:08,633 --> 00:18:10,533 because of the weakness of the 307 00:18:11,100 --> 00:18:14,600 of the A3 and a four 308 00:18:14,633 --> 00:18:21,033 this is just asking for Bishop C six and now a takes B 309 00:18:21,033 --> 00:18:25,566 a takes B and we have ourselves an open a file 310 00:18:25,566 --> 00:18:27,566 so this is a big achievement for white 311 00:18:27,700 --> 00:18:29,433 it's not winning or anything else 312 00:18:29,433 --> 00:18:32,500 but at least now we have targets 313 00:18:32,966 --> 00:18:33,266 so 314 00:18:33,266 --> 00:18:36,266 I want you to explain really well this position so far 315 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,933 and now he plays night b 3 316 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,633 with the idea to put even more pressure on the c 5 317 00:18:41,633 --> 00:18:42,433 point 318 00:18:44,433 --> 00:18:45,700 Bishop F 8 319 00:18:47,366 --> 00:18:50,166 a little bit reorganizing the pieces 320 00:18:50,166 --> 00:18:52,133 and defending against Bishop F four 321 00:18:53,966 --> 00:18:56,066 and rook E to d 1 322 00:18:56,233 --> 00:18:59,966 so now both rooks are doing quite well 323 00:19:00,633 --> 00:19:02,433 one is controlling the a file 324 00:19:02,433 --> 00:19:04,133 the other one is controlling the d file 325 00:19:04,433 --> 00:19:06,566 and where is Black's counterplay 326 00:19:06,900 --> 00:19:08,166 it just seems that 327 00:19:08,166 --> 00:19:11,200 he doesn't have enough time to put his bishop on f 3 328 00:19:11,633 --> 00:19:13,533 and queen on h three 329 00:19:15,266 --> 00:19:17,266 too many threats are in the air 330 00:19:18,866 --> 00:19:20,966 so let's see what Leko played 331 00:19:21,900 --> 00:19:25,300 so he plays actually cunning move 332 00:19:25,300 --> 00:19:27,900 Bishop d 5 setting up a small 333 00:19:29,166 --> 00:19:30,600 you can say trap 334 00:19:30,866 --> 00:19:34,800 so if knight takes pawn bishop takes bishop takes 335 00:19:37,266 --> 00:19:39,333 we have ourselves e 3 move 336 00:19:40,300 --> 00:19:44,933 and now Bishop takes queen e 4 and now white 337 00:19:47,666 --> 00:19:50,200 has to give up the rook for bishop 338 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:51,300 otherwise it's mate 339 00:19:52,266 --> 00:19:53,733 rook takes oops 340 00:19:54,500 --> 00:19:56,533 Rook takes queen takes 341 00:19:57,300 --> 00:20:00,733 and this position is really hard to win if you're white 342 00:20:01,366 --> 00:20:04,200 probably this is what black was hoping for 343 00:20:04,500 --> 00:20:07,766 and still this is you know 344 00:20:07,766 --> 00:20:10,666 probably you can torture black for 100 or so moves 345 00:20:10,666 --> 00:20:12,566 and eventually black will make a mistake 346 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,566 but you know Rook and bishop up two pawns 347 00:20:16,566 --> 00:20:17,966 it's really hard to create 348 00:20:17,966 --> 00:20:22,000 to make progress because the weak light squares 349 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,000 and it's hard to create a passer 350 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:26,666 when the queen controls the b 351 00:20:26,666 --> 00:20:28,100 3 and c 4 squares 352 00:20:28,900 --> 00:20:30,766 so I think this is about even 353 00:20:32,633 --> 00:20:34,466 from a practical point of view 354 00:20:34,900 --> 00:20:38,933 and I want you correctly doesn't fall for this trap 355 00:20:38,966 --> 00:20:42,966 for this bishop after bishop d 5 and I take c five 356 00:20:44,866 --> 00:20:48,300 and he plays h 4 a very strong move 357 00:20:48,366 --> 00:20:50,500 and himself offering the knight 358 00:20:50,500 --> 00:20:55,066 this is wonderful look at this bishop takes rook d 8 359 00:20:56,833 --> 00:20:59,800 and of course if white wins the f 8 bishop 360 00:21:01,300 --> 00:21:04,366 the rooks and the bishop the opposite color bishops 361 00:21:04,366 --> 00:21:06,566 would give white tremendous attacking chance 362 00:21:08,433 --> 00:21:13,466 but I do think that Leko missed a good chance 363 00:21:14,100 --> 00:21:17,900 to try to draw so he should have taken the knight 364 00:21:18,033 --> 00:21:19,166 and after rook d 8 365 00:21:19,166 --> 00:21:22,600 play either queen f 5 or king g eight 366 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:29,700 and now what happens is after rook to a 8 simply king G 367 00:21:31,666 --> 00:21:35,133 and as you see that after rook takes queen takes 368 00:21:35,866 --> 00:21:38,800 takes takes bishop takes king of 7 369 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,300 this is probably a drawn endgame 370 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,966 and how does white try to win this position 371 00:21:47,233 --> 00:21:49,866 black just goes back and forth with his bishop 372 00:21:50,033 --> 00:21:51,933 for example bishop c 4 373 00:21:52,166 --> 00:21:54,566 and maybe even queen h 3 374 00:21:54,566 --> 00:21:56,700 would I do to try to set up checkmate threats 375 00:21:58,066 --> 00:22:00,966 and it's really hard for white to make progress 376 00:22:01,366 --> 00:22:02,766 to give you an example 377 00:22:02,900 --> 00:22:05,333 let's say you wanna put your bishop to d 6 378 00:22:05,466 --> 00:22:07,933 bring it to d 6 or bishop f four 379 00:22:09,900 --> 00:22:13,700 and now Bishop c 4 going for the mating net 380 00:22:13,700 --> 00:22:16,500 Bishop d 6 don't worry about d 8 381 00:22:16,500 --> 00:22:18,133 Bishop mate is what counts 382 00:22:19,266 --> 00:22:20,600 Queen h 3 383 00:22:22,466 --> 00:22:25,433 simply we wanna play queen f 1 384 00:22:25,433 --> 00:22:28,566 check for but queen takes f 2 or bishop e 2 385 00:22:28,566 --> 00:22:33,400 bishop f 3 so now rook takes king h seven 386 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,400 and all of a sudden 387 00:22:38,666 --> 00:22:42,700 I think maybe both of the players have missed it 388 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,666 how does white defend against a simple looking 389 00:22:48,066 --> 00:22:50,200 transfer the bishop to f 3 390 00:22:51,233 --> 00:22:55,533 and really there is no answer as a matter of fact 391 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,800 this position is really hard to defend for white 392 00:23:00,466 --> 00:23:03,900 so basically Leko missed his chance 393 00:23:05,633 --> 00:23:06,933 in the game 394 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,600 and he played after H4 395 00:23:14,266 --> 00:23:17,500 King g 8 so nice solid move 396 00:23:18,700 --> 00:23:23,900 and now I want you to plays knight c one 397 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,166 and the knight is going to be transferred to e 2 398 00:23:30,166 --> 00:23:31,466 and maybe f 4 399 00:23:32,233 --> 00:23:35,866 and somehow LECO is afraid and plays G five 400 00:23:36,500 --> 00:23:37,800 yeah this move 401 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,866 as you will see shortly really weakens the king 402 00:23:41,866 --> 00:23:43,466 and I don't really like that move 403 00:23:43,700 --> 00:23:45,900 on the other hand there is no active plan 404 00:23:45,900 --> 00:23:46,700 and 405 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,200 the best strategy is gonna wait and hope for the best 406 00:23:51,766 --> 00:23:55,266 and very hard to play psychologically against 407 00:23:55,266 --> 00:23:57,100 you know strong player so like what 408 00:23:57,100 --> 00:24:00,100 it really at least tries to be active for G5 409 00:24:00,766 --> 00:24:05,066 and now H takes G H takes G 410 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,866 and this part of the game is played 411 00:24:07,866 --> 00:24:10,400 almost flawlessly by Ivan Chuke 412 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:15,933 and I really like the way he finishes off Leko later on 413 00:24:17,900 --> 00:24:20,333 so first he plays rook a 5 414 00:24:22,433 --> 00:24:23,600 queen c 7 415 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,533 setting up a small trap because takes bishop c four 416 00:24:30,066 --> 00:24:31,666 now rook a 6 417 00:24:33,266 --> 00:24:34,900 you see that the king is really weak 418 00:24:34,900 --> 00:24:36,600 and rook g 6 is unpleasant 419 00:24:37,500 --> 00:24:40,200 so queen f 7 defending against the check 420 00:24:41,500 --> 00:24:44,833 and now rook b 6 Ivanchuk is relentless 421 00:24:44,833 --> 00:24:46,566 he wants to win the b 5 point 422 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,166 Bishop e 7 however 423 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,566 setting up another trap with after rook takes b 5 424 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:05,866 bishop c 4 and queen f 3 so what to do 425 00:25:07,233 --> 00:25:09,266 and after bishop e 7 426 00:25:10,500 --> 00:25:12,633 he says wait a second wait a second 427 00:25:12,633 --> 00:25:14,266 why can't I take the pawn 428 00:25:16,166 --> 00:25:20,600 and this whole line is actually quite nice for white 429 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,900 and you're gonna see shortly why 430 00:25:22,900 --> 00:25:26,766 Ivan Chuk calculates this precisely so Rook takes 431 00:25:28,766 --> 00:25:34,300 Bishop e 6 with idea to play queen f 3 and bishop h 3 432 00:25:34,466 --> 00:25:35,300 and immediate 433 00:25:35,300 --> 00:25:39,500 bishop c 4 doesn't work because of the tempo check 434 00:25:40,266 --> 00:25:42,066 and then when king moves 435 00:25:44,100 --> 00:25:46,533 white will have a chance to pin the bishop 436 00:25:47,366 --> 00:25:49,066 and this is not pleasant 437 00:25:52,766 --> 00:25:55,333 so this is bishop e 6 is played 438 00:25:57,433 --> 00:26:00,300 and now rook b a check nevertheless 439 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,633 king g 7 so 440 00:26:03,633 --> 00:26:06,133 I think both players might have been on time pressure 441 00:26:06,666 --> 00:26:08,200 move forward is coming up 442 00:26:08,633 --> 00:26:09,900 Rook b 7 443 00:26:10,500 --> 00:26:11,700 so I want you to explain 444 00:26:11,700 --> 00:26:14,000 precise moves to stop the attack 445 00:26:14,966 --> 00:26:19,600 king h 6 Leko is escaping from the pin with idea 446 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:24,600 bishop h 3 and queen f 3 and now finally 447 00:26:25,833 --> 00:26:29,166 I think Ivanchuk makes the first mistake of the game 448 00:26:29,166 --> 00:26:31,266 you can say rook e 1 449 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:36,433 so the nerves are not so stable 450 00:26:36,433 --> 00:26:37,900 when both players are in time pressure 451 00:26:37,900 --> 00:26:40,400 and it's really hard to make precise moves 452 00:26:41,233 --> 00:26:42,900 and you're gonna see shortly why 453 00:26:42,900 --> 00:26:45,133 Night E2 is a much stronger move 454 00:26:45,766 --> 00:26:48,633 and now it's Lego's turn to not 455 00:26:48,633 --> 00:26:51,900 use this opportunity to get at least a draw 456 00:26:52,266 --> 00:26:53,866 so after Rookie one 457 00:26:55,500 --> 00:26:58,533 he had this wonderful idea Bishop h 3 458 00:27:00,700 --> 00:27:02,466 for example f four 459 00:27:03,700 --> 00:27:05,066 maybe that's what he was afraid of 460 00:27:05,066 --> 00:27:07,066 so if pawn takes bishop f 2 461 00:27:07,166 --> 00:27:09,600 now the bishop on e 7 is completely lost 462 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:10,800 and there is no mate 463 00:27:12,100 --> 00:27:14,400 so maybe that's what both players missed 464 00:27:14,566 --> 00:27:18,533 and now a really fantastic move queen h 5 465 00:27:19,866 --> 00:27:22,066 with a simple idea Queen f three 466 00:27:24,033 --> 00:27:26,100 and now Rook takes e 7 467 00:27:28,166 --> 00:27:29,466 Queen f 3 468 00:27:30,100 --> 00:27:32,100 pawn takes king g 6 469 00:27:32,500 --> 00:27:39,300 and really there is almost no defense against me 470 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,000 you can try to play rook e 2 471 00:27:43,866 --> 00:27:47,700 Queen takes here bishop g 4 472 00:27:48,100 --> 00:27:52,066 and this position is almost lost 473 00:27:52,900 --> 00:27:55,366 I just don't see how white can defend against bishop 474 00:27:55,366 --> 00:27:56,166 f three 475 00:28:01,066 --> 00:28:04,200 so this wonderful resource is missed 476 00:28:05,966 --> 00:28:11,766 and now Aleko is virtually lost 477 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,333 after the next move 478 00:28:13,866 --> 00:28:15,966 he plays Queen f six 479 00:28:17,700 --> 00:28:21,700 allowing the final deadly pin group b 6 480 00:28:23,166 --> 00:28:25,600 but I wanna go back and actually 481 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,966 point out that knight e 2 is a much stronger move 482 00:28:29,500 --> 00:28:33,066 which leads to almost winning position for white 483 00:28:34,966 --> 00:28:35,900 for example 484 00:28:37,500 --> 00:28:40,933 let's say you play Bishop H3 485 00:28:42,166 --> 00:28:45,533 and now using the pin rook d 8 xclam 486 00:28:45,766 --> 00:28:48,000 both rooks are really playing well 487 00:28:48,300 --> 00:28:52,500 this is the perfect example how the rooks are well 488 00:28:52,500 --> 00:28:54,400 better than much better than the queen 489 00:28:54,466 --> 00:28:56,666 so all of different threats are in the air 490 00:28:57,700 --> 00:29:01,700 so king g 6 stopping against rook h 8 check 491 00:29:03,366 --> 00:29:06,800 rook h 8 anyways bishop g four 492 00:29:08,700 --> 00:29:11,333 and now simply Bishop takes e five 493 00:29:12,700 --> 00:29:14,400 so Bishop takes e two 494 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:19,133 Bishop takes e seven and so on really bad position 495 00:29:21,900 --> 00:29:23,866 but let's just see what happened in the game 496 00:29:23,866 --> 00:29:25,200 so rookie 1 497 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,100 now this is Lego's only chance to have at least a draw 498 00:29:29,100 --> 00:29:34,066 Bishop h 3 he plays queen f 6 and after rook b 6 499 00:29:34,066 --> 00:29:35,666 he's completely paralyzed 500 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,933 so queen f 5 he has to break the pin 501 00:29:41,166 --> 00:29:44,100 knight b 3 hidden the pawn 502 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:46,766 king h five 503 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,466 well now you can even take the pawn 504 00:29:51,466 --> 00:29:54,600 but Ivan Shuk doesn't wanna deal with that 505 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,400 he simply plays 92 506 00:29:56,466 --> 00:29:59,100 improving the knight because you know black 507 00:29:59,633 --> 00:30:01,100 he's completely paralyzed 508 00:30:01,100 --> 00:30:02,866 he's gonna move rook a 1 509 00:30:02,866 --> 00:30:07,866 rook a 6 or rook a a 8 even and the king is in trouble 510 00:30:09,966 --> 00:30:11,600 so Bishop d 7 511 00:30:13,166 --> 00:30:14,366 Rook a 1 512 00:30:15,666 --> 00:30:20,066 and hardly there is hardly any defensive idea for black 513 00:30:20,066 --> 00:30:23,533 I can see it just all the pieces are so badly placed 514 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:28,933 Bishop d 8 try something at least rook b 8 515 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,333 and there is no stopping from the rooks 516 00:30:31,866 --> 00:30:35,733 getting into the sort of the guts of black's position 517 00:30:36,233 --> 00:30:41,633 and now bishop f 6 and the simple move rook a 6 518 00:30:41,633 --> 00:30:43,400 getting the second rook in there 519 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,166 again the king on h 5 is doing nothing to help 520 00:30:49,966 --> 00:30:52,666 and all of the pieces are really badly placed 521 00:30:52,666 --> 00:30:54,100 the pins are all over the place 522 00:30:54,100 --> 00:30:57,166 Rook a f 8 is a threat and uh 523 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,600 so he plays bishop g 7 to at least defend against that 524 00:31:01,866 --> 00:31:04,866 but now rook a 5 from 525 00:31:04,866 --> 00:31:06,566 he's getting hit from the other side 526 00:31:06,566 --> 00:31:08,200 and the c 5 pawn is lost 527 00:31:09,300 --> 00:31:15,800 bishop f 8 b 4 and of course it's now really 528 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:20,066 really hard to play and like a simple resign 529 00:31:20,066 --> 00:31:22,400 the c 5 pawn falls the two rooks 530 00:31:22,900 --> 00:31:24,266 and the two extra pawns 531 00:31:24,266 --> 00:31:25,966 should be more than enough to convert 532 00:31:27,866 --> 00:31:31,433 so in this game we saw a very interesting idea 533 00:31:31,433 --> 00:31:36,466 Bishop takes F7 and a very sound way actually to play 534 00:31:37,033 --> 00:31:40,200 the resulting position is almost by force 535 00:31:41,033 --> 00:31:43,266 leads to two rooks versus queen 536 00:31:43,466 --> 00:31:47,466 complicated middle game position where I would 537 00:31:47,466 --> 00:31:49,633 I would probably say chances are even 538 00:31:49,633 --> 00:31:52,600 but practically it's easier to play with the rooks 539 00:31:53,166 --> 00:31:56,500 and like I defended well for a while 540 00:31:56,500 --> 00:31:58,000 and even missed the chance 541 00:31:58,866 --> 00:32:01,366 by a slip from Ivancho in time pressure 542 00:32:01,766 --> 00:32:04,866 but a very clean game other than that 543 00:32:05,233 --> 00:32:08,100 and beautiful demonstration by Ivancho 544 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,300 the advantage of 2 rooks 545 00:32:11,700 --> 00:32:13,233 and thank you 546 00:32:13,233 --> 00:32:15,833 and thank you Chucky for playing such a great game 547 00:32:15,833 --> 00:32:18,666 and I hope to see you all next time bye bye 38103
