hi everyone this is Grandmaster Eugene Perelshteyn
2
00:00:11,866 --> 00:00:14,333
and together with 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
