1
00:00:02,700 --> 00:00:07,540
Hi everyone, it's Jerry. I'm on lead
chess right now and I just got paired up
2
00:00:07,540 --> 00:00:09,780
15 -2 game.
3
00:00:10,900 --> 00:00:12,540
So let's see how this plays out.
4
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,180
Try knight f3 to start.
5
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,260
C4, d4, I guess we'll go with c4.
6
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:28,960
Retain some flexibility with that d
-pawn.
7
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,720
Change up the opening, committing that d
-pawn.
8
00:00:37,540 --> 00:00:43,860
So c -pawn first. Let's go with knight
c3.
9
00:00:45,060 --> 00:00:50,300
On d5, I'll take, and then after knight
takes, I'll play e4. Not going for that,
10
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:51,400
though.
11
00:00:52,420 --> 00:00:53,420
Okay.
12
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:57,640
Let's see.
13
00:00:57,660 --> 00:00:59,040
d4 or e4.
14
00:00:59,989 --> 00:01:02,950
e4 will prevent the d4, d5 advance.
15
00:01:05,890 --> 00:01:06,890
Let's do that.
16
00:01:07,410 --> 00:01:08,430
Or maybe not.
17
00:01:09,850 --> 00:01:10,789
Let's see.
18
00:01:10,790 --> 00:01:13,610
What other options might I have? I could
go with g3.
19
00:01:18,410 --> 00:01:25,150
g3, g3, d4, e4 are my candidate moves
here.
20
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,720
I'm just a little bit concerned if I
play e4, this moves c5.
21
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,800
I could still get in d4.
22
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,580
We'll enter a maroxy bind.
23
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:39,240
That's fine.
24
00:01:39,460 --> 00:01:45,820
It might transition into a Sicilian here
depending on black's next move. Okay,
25
00:01:45,820 --> 00:01:46,820
no.
26
00:01:46,940 --> 00:01:52,240
So their c -pawn will not be able to
exchange itself off from my d -pawn so
27
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:53,240
easily.
28
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,480
I have a group of three pawns now in the
center.
29
00:01:57,350 --> 00:01:59,530
And probably just b5 to e2.
30
00:02:01,750 --> 00:02:02,750
Let's see.
31
00:02:03,110 --> 00:02:08,750
Any other good options? I don't want to
obstruct my queen's view of d4.
32
00:02:09,509 --> 00:02:16,070
This is something that's surely going to
be struck at. Either c5, e5, knight c6,
33
00:02:16,210 --> 00:02:17,210
maybe.
34
00:02:18,990 --> 00:02:23,050
So I'm pretty sure, in other words, I
know where my light square bishop
35
00:02:23,170 --> 00:02:24,170
So let's get him there.
36
00:02:25,329 --> 00:02:31,930
Bishop to e2. This is also useful
depending on what black does here, of
37
00:02:31,970 --> 00:02:33,570
This e5, d5 reply.
38
00:02:34,430 --> 00:02:37,270
If I move my knight out of the way,
it'll stop a knight pivot.
39
00:02:38,830 --> 00:02:41,570
Sometimes I'll want to go there to then
jump into f4.
40
00:02:42,310 --> 00:02:44,310
But okay, we have knight c6.
41
00:02:46,730 --> 00:02:47,730
Hmm.
42
00:02:48,870 --> 00:02:52,470
Okay, my first thought is to just give
him a quick kick here with d5.
43
00:02:56,899 --> 00:02:58,580
Is there anything wrong with that?
44
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:00,200
Let's give him a kick.
45
00:03:00,420 --> 00:03:01,580
Is he going to go to e5?
46
00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:05,360
I think I've had players do this against
me before.
47
00:03:06,140 --> 00:03:07,140
Playing to this square.
48
00:03:08,100 --> 00:03:09,700
I mean, they're doubled pawns.
49
00:03:10,540 --> 00:03:12,320
I don't know how big of an issue it is.
50
00:03:12,980 --> 00:03:18,060
But I like that my bishop is able to see
these squares after I do capture.
51
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,680
So they are going in that direction. My
first thought is just to take it.
52
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:31,480
Makes their bishop on g7. Not the
greatest piece in the world.
53
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,000
Yeah,
54
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:43,260
probably just take... I'm inviting this
pawn a little bit more forward, but it
55
00:03:43,260 --> 00:03:44,260
is a doubled pawn now.
56
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,020
And in what direction is this game going
to go?
57
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:50,580
That's the question I have.
58
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,280
I should probably castle bishop to e3.
59
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,400
Can I do without castling? No.
60
00:04:01,700 --> 00:04:04,760
Let's do that first. Remain a little bit
more flexible with my bishop.
61
00:04:06,140 --> 00:04:08,940
Maybe he'll go to g5. I guess these are
the two candidate moves.
62
00:04:10,020 --> 00:04:13,360
I don't think I'll invest any time with
fianchettoing.
63
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,920
Okay. Well, that was a move that was
played really quick.
64
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,900
And I have the option now to...
65
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,500
take and damage their queenside.
66
00:04:28,820 --> 00:04:33,480
And also I could now look forward to an
ending.
67
00:04:34,420 --> 00:04:40,500
And in an ending, I think I'll be the
better side here, because
68
00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:47,420
I don't really see how this bishop will
be getting involved
69
00:04:47,420 --> 00:04:54,060
anytime soon, so... I'm pretty much
going
70
00:04:54,060 --> 00:04:57,190
to... take here. I'm just double
-checking stuff.
71
00:04:58,690 --> 00:05:04,330
I don't want to allow it to be closed
either, like this knight reposition.
72
00:05:04,330 --> 00:05:05,870
could be a fine home for the knight.
73
00:05:07,130 --> 00:05:13,810
I think I should look to open it up and
in some sense play against
74
00:05:13,810 --> 00:05:17,490
their poorly placed minor piece on g7.
75
00:05:20,650 --> 00:05:24,210
After takes, recapture. I don't know if
I'll take their queen because I am
76
00:05:24,210 --> 00:05:29,170
helping out their rook, but I think I
could say for certain I want to take
77
00:05:29,170 --> 00:05:30,170
this.
78
00:05:31,310 --> 00:05:34,650
I'd certainly welcome queen takes queen
by them.
79
00:05:35,750 --> 00:05:38,290
So now the decision to take their queen
or not.
80
00:05:39,010 --> 00:05:45,410
If I play bishop to e3, where
81
00:05:45,410 --> 00:05:47,690
is their queen really even going to go?
82
00:05:50,220 --> 00:05:54,400
I would have this knight jumping into
these squares. Now that these pawns are
83
00:05:54,400 --> 00:06:00,480
split, they're isolated, so the squares
in front of them are
84
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,400
probably good homes for pieces.
85
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,680
Knight might want to arrive on c5.
86
00:06:08,300 --> 00:06:14,480
This is a kingside -specific bishop,
dark square bishop, so he won't be
87
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,260
to watch over these queenside dark
squares so easily.
88
00:06:22,190 --> 00:06:26,210
After queen takes queen, rook takes
queen, then bishop to e3.
89
00:06:28,850 --> 00:06:32,550
We're heading towards queenside
-specific play.
90
00:06:37,650 --> 00:06:44,490
I'm not sure what else to consider here.
Queen a4, pressure on c6, and then I
91
00:06:44,490 --> 00:06:47,690
could be gaining a tempo with rook to
d1.
92
00:06:49,630 --> 00:06:50,630
Hmm.
93
00:06:51,530 --> 00:06:53,990
I feel like I should be starting with
bishop to e3.
94
00:06:55,670 --> 00:07:00,510
One thing I want to make sure of is that
this knight does not get to d4 anytime
95
00:07:00,510 --> 00:07:01,910
soon. It'll take forever.
96
00:07:02,970 --> 00:07:06,610
It's knight two squares away diagonally.
It takes him a while to get there.
97
00:07:08,230 --> 00:07:14,130
What other candidate moves do I have?
Bishop to e3, queen takes queen, and
98
00:07:14,130 --> 00:07:15,130
bishop to e3.
99
00:07:17,050 --> 00:07:18,610
I think I kind of like...
100
00:07:19,370 --> 00:07:20,810
Just getting the queens out first.
101
00:07:24,290 --> 00:07:27,450
Yeah, let's... Maybe not.
102
00:07:29,350 --> 00:07:30,650
Yeah, let's go for it.
103
00:07:32,050 --> 00:07:33,550
I couldn't resist.
104
00:07:34,890 --> 00:07:35,890
Couldn't resist.
105
00:07:36,850 --> 00:07:42,090
Alright, so, on bishop e3, knight here,
I could reply bishop here.
106
00:07:43,590 --> 00:07:44,950
Or maybe even take.
107
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:51,660
And then, you know, this is my bad
bishop after all, so... Let's start with
108
00:07:51,660 --> 00:07:56,820
this. This is also useful in putting
pressure here, so this might... Having
109
00:07:56,820 --> 00:08:02,040
pressure on a7 may translate into me
obtaining control over this only open
110
00:08:02,220 --> 00:08:05,240
because it's placing a restriction on
the rook.
111
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,780
Any pressure against my b -pawn, I'll
play b3.
112
00:08:12,100 --> 00:08:14,980
And there isn't this idea of breaking
down...
113
00:08:15,610 --> 00:08:22,010
in A2, B3, C4 structure, because this is
a nice pivot for my knight on A4.
114
00:08:24,730 --> 00:08:27,090
So, let's see what black comes up with.
115
00:08:28,550 --> 00:08:31,870
They're kind of hard -pressed to find a
good square for their light square
116
00:08:31,870 --> 00:08:32,870
bishop.
117
00:08:33,549 --> 00:08:38,210
You know, if you go here, I'm not sure
what you're doing exactly. This isn't an
118
00:08:38,210 --> 00:08:40,409
inconvenience to put pressure on my C4
pawn.
119
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:50,060
They might try to activate their bishop
here, but again, the big question here,
120
00:08:50,260 --> 00:08:54,720
in my eyes at least, is what exactly is
this bishop going to do?
121
00:08:55,220 --> 00:08:57,260
So they're looking for a knight
reposition.
122
00:08:59,220 --> 00:09:04,600
And as mentioned, I may be able to now
obtain control over this d -file. This
123
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,380
seems correct.
124
00:09:08,560 --> 00:09:12,980
And I want to go with this rook. I don't
know if it makes so big a deal, but...
125
00:09:13,550 --> 00:09:16,670
I want to have a fast track over here
with my king.
126
00:09:18,510 --> 00:09:21,750
And I'm able to now win a pawn, am I
not?
127
00:09:23,130 --> 00:09:24,130
Hmm.
128
00:09:26,370 --> 00:09:31,490
So, let's see here. I take their rook,
they take back.
129
00:09:31,690 --> 00:09:34,250
I take on a7, they enter on d2.
130
00:09:37,450 --> 00:09:39,350
Is that really so much a problem?
131
00:09:42,700 --> 00:09:45,060
I mean, I'll have to defend for just a
moment.
132
00:09:47,540 --> 00:09:52,380
You know, rook to b1, or here, but I
think I'd play rook to b1.
133
00:09:53,620 --> 00:09:58,680
And then on my next move I could come
back here, but maybe they caused me a
134
00:09:58,680 --> 00:10:00,000
little bit of a problem with that.
135
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,700
Because of a move like bishop to 8 -6,
I'm not so sure I want to allow that
136
00:10:06,700 --> 00:10:07,700
activity.
137
00:10:10,060 --> 00:10:14,060
What would they do if I don't allow them
to have full control over the d -file?
138
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:21,500
You know, suppose I play king f1, king
e1, and then threaten to take here.
139
00:10:23,300 --> 00:10:25,000
First of all, where is this knight
going?
140
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:26,820
He goes here, I play b3.
141
00:10:29,220 --> 00:10:32,300
There might be then the follow -up of
this advance, but I don't know if that
142
00:10:32,300 --> 00:10:33,520
really scares me so much.
143
00:10:36,079 --> 00:10:39,440
My instinct tells me to just improve my
king position a little bit more.
144
00:10:42,820 --> 00:10:46,980
Knight here to here is also an idea.
145
00:10:48,060 --> 00:10:49,060
Hmm.
146
00:10:49,500 --> 00:10:52,580
Maybe I should improve my piece. Maybe I
should be a bit more direct.
147
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,580
Although no. Knight to a4, knight d6,
and these two pawns are hit.
148
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,300
Okay, so not so fast.
149
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:04,800
Let's improve my king position.
150
00:11:05,290 --> 00:11:06,290
King f1.
151
00:11:06,910 --> 00:11:10,550
King f1, king e1, then they'll have to
do something for sure about their a
152
00:11:10,550 --> 00:11:11,550
-pawn.
153
00:11:12,070 --> 00:11:13,870
On knight d6, I'll play b3.
154
00:11:15,430 --> 00:11:20,870
Knight d6, b3. And on f5, I'll play f3.
155
00:11:21,430 --> 00:11:26,690
It may happen that there's an exchange
here, but if their f -pawn is exchanged
156
00:11:26,690 --> 00:11:30,530
for my e -pawn, that'll result in them
having a double -isolated pawn.
157
00:11:31,810 --> 00:11:34,330
And in a position where it's just the
bishops,
158
00:11:36,090 --> 00:11:42,490
That's going to be not so good. Well,
really, no matter how you slice it,
159
00:11:42,490 --> 00:11:45,450
two double -isolated pawns are a glaring
weakness.
160
00:11:48,150 --> 00:11:51,790
So let me consider yet again capturing
on d8 and then a7.
161
00:12:05,230 --> 00:12:07,910
Should I do that? I mean, I will have a
passed a pawn.
162
00:12:08,730 --> 00:12:10,670
I'm sure the computer would be all over
that.
163
00:12:12,150 --> 00:12:13,610
I'm not going to do it, though.
164
00:12:14,370 --> 00:12:18,690
Okay, now they have to certainly tend to
this threat of exchanging rooks and
165
00:12:18,690 --> 00:12:19,770
then capturing on a7.
166
00:12:20,390 --> 00:12:26,050
And when they move their pawn to a5, I
can think about the b6 square.
167
00:12:26,570 --> 00:12:29,670
Not only c5 anymore, but also b6.
168
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:34,720
Maybe even bishop b6 in some cases, but
I'll probably need to play b3 first.
169
00:12:36,980 --> 00:12:43,560
Also, if their a -pawn moves, I think
I'll first play f3, just to reinforce
170
00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:47,600
pawn, and that way my knight could move
without fear of knight d6 hitting both
171
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:48,600
of these.
172
00:12:51,300 --> 00:12:56,900
And it's difficult. I mean, I'm not
quite sure what the bishop is doing on
173
00:12:56,900 --> 00:12:59,340
know it wants to come out in this
direction, but...
174
00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:01,240
So many things need to happen.
175
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,860
Like this bishop has to move, for
starters.
176
00:13:05,820 --> 00:13:06,820
And then the pawn.
177
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:11,700
Okay, so they're giving up control of
the d -file.
178
00:13:11,980 --> 00:13:16,480
I can't enter on it, but the rook is
restricted.
179
00:13:18,740 --> 00:13:22,060
This a -pawn has to move before the rook
could move.
180
00:13:25,060 --> 00:13:26,540
Well, I mean the rook could play here.
181
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,960
But on any rook move to the B file, I'm
playing B3.
182
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,080
Rook B8.
183
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,100
Rook B8, B3.
184
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,180
Okay, they're striking in the center.
185
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:39,600
Let's reinforce that point.
186
00:13:42,220 --> 00:13:45,700
Oh, the knight might also come to F6. I
didn't consider that, but it shouldn't
187
00:13:45,700 --> 00:13:48,440
be a big deal. Okay, they're closing the
position up. Hmm.
188
00:13:50,100 --> 00:13:55,360
I don't think that that's a good option,
but... Alright, let's...
189
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,620
Stay here. I don't want to go to this
square.
190
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,040
I'll leave that option open for my
knight. So I don't have any concern
191
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:03,040
this.
192
00:14:03,460 --> 00:14:07,380
And now, in order for this bishop to
become activated, it's clear that this
193
00:14:07,380 --> 00:14:08,380
needs to move.
194
00:14:09,060 --> 00:14:14,600
And it's very difficult because if he
goes here and then pushes, then it's the
195
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,360
light square bishop who becomes bad.
196
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:18,800
Hmm.
197
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,620
I didn't mention this much. I've been
talking about pivoting on this square
198
00:14:23,620 --> 00:14:25,860
the knight, but maybe this move is an
idea as well.
199
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,340
This isn't a threat.
200
00:14:32,340 --> 00:14:33,520
Let's improve my knight position.
201
00:14:33,740 --> 00:14:39,360
I think he's going to be a great bother
on the c5 square, hitting the light
202
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:40,360
square bishop.
203
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:42,940
Yeah, knight c5.
204
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,680
And on bishop to c8, I could play rook
here.
205
00:14:48,380 --> 00:14:49,400
Could be quite annoying.
206
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,580
Probably just protect to pick up the
pace just a little bit here.
207
00:14:57,980 --> 00:14:59,300
Five minutes and change.
208
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:00,840
Okay.
209
00:15:01,700 --> 00:15:02,700
Hmm.
210
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:07,760
Okay.
211
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:09,560
Interesting.
212
00:15:13,460 --> 00:15:16,740
Knight c5, bishop back. How do I make
more progress?
213
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:29,520
Knight c5, bishop back, knight d3,
bishop g7, and then knight here.
214
00:15:32,460 --> 00:15:33,460
Let's try that.
215
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:38,980
Let's try to induce some weaknesses. If
I'm able to force my opponent's bishop
216
00:15:38,980 --> 00:15:45,980
to retreat like this, I move forward, I
force my opponent backward, I've likely
217
00:15:45,980 --> 00:15:47,580
obtained something.
218
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,640
Something small, but...
219
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,860
You know, I move forward, I'm forcing
them backward, they're not going
220
00:15:53,860 --> 00:15:54,860
backwards.
221
00:15:56,580 --> 00:15:58,840
So they're giving me the bishop here.
222
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,060
Knight takes, king takes, c5.
223
00:16:03,140 --> 00:16:06,220
Then I can think about giving this
check. This must be correct. I'm going
224
00:16:06,220 --> 00:16:07,119
take that guy.
225
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,120
Is there anything better? I'm going to
go for that.
226
00:16:10,380 --> 00:16:15,460
And then follow up with c5. I need to
activate my bishop.
227
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:17,660
Bishop c4.
228
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:19,120
So close to mate.
229
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:20,720
There's that move.
230
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,640
But a knight here I could even think
about taking.
231
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,560
I do have a majority.
232
00:16:27,020 --> 00:16:32,780
First time referencing this, but this is
a healthy 3 versus 2 majority on the
233
00:16:32,780 --> 00:16:38,620
queen side, whereas they have an
unhealthy king side majority. So I
234
00:16:38,620 --> 00:16:42,340
probably insert this check first,
inconvenience their king, and now
235
00:16:42,340 --> 00:16:43,340
taking the knight.
236
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,340
Taking the knight and then playing rook
here.
237
00:16:51,180 --> 00:16:52,880
Or not taking the knight at all.
238
00:16:55,180 --> 00:16:58,460
A little bit concerned about opposite
colored bishops. a4, knight here.
239
00:17:05,540 --> 00:17:06,540
Let's see.
240
00:17:11,260 --> 00:17:12,260
Hmm.
241
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:14,680
Rook d7.
242
00:17:15,530 --> 00:17:16,849
Can I work around that knight?
243
00:17:20,630 --> 00:17:25,390
Yeah, I mean, it certainly has my
attention here, this idea of giving some
244
00:17:25,390 --> 00:17:26,390
material back.
245
00:17:27,849 --> 00:17:31,530
a4, knight d4 takes, rook takes, and
then here.
246
00:17:35,590 --> 00:17:36,590
Hmm.
247
00:17:39,870 --> 00:17:42,830
I really don't want to give up my light
square bishop so easily.
248
00:17:44,270 --> 00:17:47,050
What other moves would I have? Here, run
into a fork.
249
00:17:50,210 --> 00:17:52,290
Rook d7, knight d4.
250
00:17:59,030 --> 00:18:00,030
Hmm.
251
00:18:02,670 --> 00:18:03,670
I'll take him.
252
00:18:04,010 --> 00:18:05,290
Let's activate this rook.
253
00:18:06,350 --> 00:18:08,330
And look to improve my king position.
254
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,160
This rook is still tied down. I could
also consider this.
255
00:18:16,120 --> 00:18:18,420
You know, put pressure on this pawn.
256
00:18:20,580 --> 00:18:24,540
King here, I just come over, and he
can't improve further.
257
00:18:25,740 --> 00:18:26,740
Okay.
258
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,540
Still remains to be seen what is up with
that bishop. How is he getting
259
00:18:31,540 --> 00:18:38,300
activated? Let's play to a spot where I
keep pressure on my opponent's pawns.
260
00:18:40,389 --> 00:18:44,830
Maybe I'll improve like this.
261
00:18:46,230 --> 00:18:48,530
I don't want to allow rook d8 with
check.
262
00:18:48,990 --> 00:18:55,430
I don't know how big a deal that would
be, but at least for the moment, hmm,
263
00:18:55,650 --> 00:18:58,290
maybe I should even do this move first.
264
00:18:59,750 --> 00:19:00,750
Stop g4.
265
00:19:01,950 --> 00:19:02,950
Yeah, let me do that.
266
00:19:05,050 --> 00:19:06,370
Difficult for them to improve.
267
00:19:08,250 --> 00:19:09,330
It's a useful move.
268
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,940
I could also look at this position from
the standpoint I have the better bishop.
269
00:19:14,460 --> 00:19:20,260
He has pawns fixed on dark squares, so I
could maybe play a position where I'm
270
00:19:20,260 --> 00:19:21,640
more focused on that.
271
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:28,320
You know, if the rooks are off and I
somehow lose this pawn, it's probably a
272
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,880
pretty easy position to hold for a draw.
273
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,940
despite being down a pawn, again, if I
was to lose my c -pawn.
274
00:19:40,900 --> 00:19:45,320
It's very tough now. In order to
activate the bishop, the king has to
275
00:19:45,460 --> 00:19:51,760
He has to move away, I should say, from
the action, which is the queen side of
276
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:52,760
the board.
277
00:19:54,380 --> 00:19:57,460
So, as an improvement, if black is doing
nothing...
278
00:19:58,380 --> 00:20:02,240
Playing king e2, king d3, they might
insert a check king here, and they have
279
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,320
be mindful of rook to b6 with check
picking up the a -pawn if the rook
280
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:07,320
this open file.
281
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:13,720
So let's see what black comes up with.
They're now investing some time here.
282
00:20:13,820 --> 00:20:15,160
They're in a tough spot.
283
00:20:17,420 --> 00:20:22,880
I don't know if I do well to open up
another file here. I don't know what
284
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,520
exactly I accomplish by doing that.
285
00:20:25,379 --> 00:20:29,840
Although maybe I grant my king access to
c4 by pulling the a4 move. That might
286
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:30,840
be an idea.
287
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:39,100
And maybe I should not do this king e2
move. Maybe it's okay to cross on the d
288
00:20:39,100 --> 00:20:44,600
-file first, and then get to the c3
square as soon as possible,
289
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,700
and then do this move a4.
290
00:20:57,350 --> 00:20:58,149
Let's see.
291
00:20:58,150 --> 00:20:59,190
I could push.
292
00:21:00,430 --> 00:21:03,350
But maybe I'll push only after this pawn
has moved.
293
00:21:06,750 --> 00:21:07,750
Hmm.
294
00:21:12,610 --> 00:21:17,210
King e2 or king d2 is my... These are my
candidate moves.
295
00:21:19,990 --> 00:21:25,970
I'm going to go here. I want to be just
a hair closer towards the queen side.
296
00:21:28,460 --> 00:21:30,160
King c3 incoming, a4.
297
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:36,460
I think I want to do this first of these
two moves, just to get out of checking
298
00:21:36,460 --> 00:21:37,460
distance.
299
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:43,640
They might try to pile up on my c -pawn,
but I'll be there to play this move.
300
00:21:44,140 --> 00:21:45,140
Okay.
301
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,200
And their king is now completely cut
off.
302
00:21:55,580 --> 00:21:57,740
Maybe a4 is the move right now.
303
00:21:59,179 --> 00:22:01,420
No. I want to have this move available.
304
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,000
Let's do this.
305
00:22:06,700 --> 00:22:08,720
Activate my king. I might run all the
way up here.
306
00:22:10,940 --> 00:22:12,140
King b4 maybe.
307
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,360
King b4 instead of b4.
308
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,160
Interesting moment.
309
00:22:17,500 --> 00:22:18,500
King b4.
310
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:20,640
But I am in a pin.
311
00:22:22,180 --> 00:22:23,180
Don't really like that.
312
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,000
Let's go b4.
313
00:22:29,669 --> 00:22:30,669
Rook to b6.
314
00:22:32,190 --> 00:22:36,730
This would be super passive if they do
this to defend laterally.
315
00:22:37,950 --> 00:22:39,210
Their king is cut off.
316
00:22:39,950 --> 00:22:40,950
Under two minutes.
317
00:22:42,650 --> 00:22:43,890
Okay, that's very passive.
318
00:22:46,270 --> 00:22:49,950
If I play rook here, how are they
untangling?
319
00:22:52,790 --> 00:22:53,790
Let's do that first.
320
00:22:54,270 --> 00:22:58,770
Just to stop here, they might have
wanted to try that to undermine.
321
00:23:00,649 --> 00:23:01,649
this structure.
322
00:23:03,650 --> 00:23:06,850
So maybe king b3 and a4 is the idea.
323
00:23:11,190 --> 00:23:16,830
Yeah, let's do this.
324
00:23:17,050 --> 00:23:22,690
They might try to hunt down my bishop,
like 1, 2, 3. My bishop is kind of, no,
325
00:23:22,810 --> 00:23:26,190
not really. I mean, he could camp out
here. Might not be a bad square either.
326
00:23:27,570 --> 00:23:28,590
Come to think of it.
327
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:31,460
Putting pressure on e5.
328
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:39,020
If they do this, I'll take once, but not
twice, because
329
00:23:39,020 --> 00:23:41,560
king here, and I'm helping them activate
their king.
330
00:23:44,060 --> 00:23:48,900
So they're in a tough spot. I should
follow through, and let's do this.
331
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:51,460
Pressure on that b -pawn.
332
00:23:53,540 --> 00:23:54,960
Improve my king position now.
333
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,020
Their king is still cut off.
334
00:23:59,850 --> 00:24:03,970
The rook is restricted, and I'm looking
to move forward yet again.
335
00:24:05,650 --> 00:24:07,830
With the b5, king takes and then push.
336
00:24:09,050 --> 00:24:11,610
I'm playing with all my pieces in that
resulting position.
337
00:24:12,970 --> 00:24:14,390
King, rook, bishop, and pawn.
338
00:24:14,650 --> 00:24:18,930
Their king is cut off, and the rook is
passive along with their bishop.
339
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,800
So let's see what they come up with
here. This is one of those positions
340
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,400
you try as white to keep it as clean as
possible.
341
00:24:32,180 --> 00:24:35,900
The rook, if he moves, if he tries to
get activated, I could take here.
342
00:24:39,340 --> 00:24:44,360
If I put here, bishop takes pawn.
343
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,980
It's not working because of pawn takes
rook.
344
00:24:51,159 --> 00:24:53,940
Bishop takes rook, bishop takes bishop,
or even pawn push.
345
00:24:56,360 --> 00:25:03,080
I think I just get on with pushing. I
don't think I'm missing anything. I
346
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,500
think I can make a... I have to do this
to make progress.
347
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:08,700
And I'm at a minute.
348
00:25:10,340 --> 00:25:13,940
So I'm just going to push away here. I
might be close to sacrificing here.
349
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:16,480
Let's continue pushing.
350
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,440
On a rook check on b8, I can block.
351
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:30,980
And I could also welcome a bishop
exchange, and if this position is
352
00:25:30,980 --> 00:25:33,420
of, if it's just king and pawn ending,
this is winning.
353
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:39,680
Again, due to these doubled pawns here,
the double e pawns.
354
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,520
So let's see what black comes up with.
355
00:25:47,630 --> 00:25:51,570
The big plan here is to push and then
king here, so let's just block.
356
00:25:52,090 --> 00:25:54,230
I don't want to allow that rook any
activity.
357
00:25:56,890 --> 00:26:02,590
And I'll be pushing next king here, so
this is actually pretty much seeing the
358
00:26:02,590 --> 00:26:03,750
end to this one.
359
00:26:05,090 --> 00:26:06,410
Their king isn't playing.
360
00:26:08,030 --> 00:26:14,170
c7, king c6, and then rook to b8.
361
00:26:18,350 --> 00:26:19,350
Let's do that first.
362
00:26:20,390 --> 00:26:21,610
Bishop here, king here.
363
00:26:23,310 --> 00:26:25,530
And I'm king there.
364
00:26:26,450 --> 00:26:27,850
I could play bishop here.
365
00:26:29,830 --> 00:26:31,950
I don't want to allow their king to get
here, though.
366
00:26:34,170 --> 00:26:36,550
You know, they're not going anywhere
from that position, though.
367
00:26:37,350 --> 00:26:39,510
I could improve a little bit more.
368
00:26:43,710 --> 00:26:47,210
Let's see. Okay, that's what they're
trying here. So king c6 for starters.
369
00:26:50,830 --> 00:26:51,830
a king c6 here.
370
00:26:53,710 --> 00:26:54,710
Hmm.
371
00:26:56,830 --> 00:26:59,190
Their king can't move, their bishop
can't move.
372
00:27:00,630 --> 00:27:02,450
Their rook is the only one that could
move.
373
00:27:06,330 --> 00:27:07,710
I think you do this.
374
00:27:09,870 --> 00:27:11,590
Yeah. Less than 20.
375
00:27:13,190 --> 00:27:15,730
So now, they're going to run out of
moves.
376
00:27:20,750 --> 00:27:21,750
I think.
377
00:27:22,110 --> 00:27:28,990
I could do this. Maybe a rook back and
then king here and rook here stuff.
378
00:27:31,190 --> 00:27:32,490
That might be an idea.
379
00:27:33,510 --> 00:27:39,130
Yeah. If I get my... Okay, and I should
probably just... Let's take first.
380
00:27:42,770 --> 00:27:43,770
Take again.
381
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,100
The passed pawn, less than 10.
382
00:27:52,660 --> 00:27:53,660
Rook to g8.
383
00:27:54,900 --> 00:27:56,280
Rook to g8, I play here.
384
00:28:00,500 --> 00:28:05,260
Okay, I think I got it now. Because
they're forced to make a move. If they
385
00:28:05,260 --> 00:28:06,420
their bishop, I'm going here.
386
00:28:08,360 --> 00:28:14,460
As soon as there's not two pieces
hitting c7, I could play rook here.
387
00:28:16,300 --> 00:28:19,200
On rook here, what would I do? Maybe
just push my pawn.
388
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,600
Keep these guys sitting right where
they're at.
389
00:28:22,120 --> 00:28:25,400
My opponent's in a bind here. They've
been in a bind for a little bit.
390
00:28:28,460 --> 00:28:31,780
So... On Ra8, I just push.
391
00:28:32,940 --> 00:28:35,140
And on that move, I have this.
392
00:28:35,940 --> 00:28:37,700
I'm pushing through here.
393
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,420
Now they're going for that, but he is
protected.
394
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,200
It's my bishop.
395
00:28:44,700 --> 00:28:47,660
So they might play it out just a little
bit more here.
396
00:28:49,180 --> 00:28:51,740
Let's just approach over here.
397
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,700
Take here,
398
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:08,200
here, and then just take here and then
push
399
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:09,200
next.
400
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,140
That's with check.
401
00:29:12,540 --> 00:29:16,820
Capri move, and they'll probably resign
here with the increment or not.
402
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:19,980
Might just play it out to mate here.
403
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,400
So we'll see what the computer has to
say afterwards here.
404
00:29:26,820 --> 00:29:30,660
Just escorting this pawn, avoiding any
stalemates.
405
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,140
No stalemates.
406
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:37,260
And let's see.
407
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:42,960
The queen.
408
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,300
Let's see if we could do this.
409
00:29:51,260 --> 00:29:54,820
Get the king and queen working, playing
this without the bishop.
410
00:29:55,140 --> 00:29:59,100
Just picturing it as if it's the king
and queen alone. Okay, they resigned. So
411
00:29:59,100 --> 00:30:00,100
let's see.
412
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,140
Let's just dive right in here, going to
the analysis board.
413
00:30:05,780 --> 00:30:08,340
Getting a computer analysis. This
shouldn't take too long.
414
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,200
And I think...
415
00:30:12,700 --> 00:30:17,040
That early middle game decision to play
into e5 and allow knight takes knight
416
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:22,520
and playing with those double d pawns,
probably not a good idea.
417
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:28,880
I think I've seen, I mean I've seen
that, I've played against that in blitz,
418
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:35,000
I've had opponents on the black side
play that in blitz,
419
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:39,440
but never really in a standard game. I
think I've even seen...
420
00:30:40,300 --> 00:30:42,300
On that D5 push, the knight return.
421
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:47,840
And then look to pivot, you know, on the
D7 square.
422
00:30:49,700 --> 00:30:51,060
So let's see.
423
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,140
Computer's still thinking a little bit
here.
424
00:30:57,180 --> 00:31:03,500
But yeah, that's where I think there's
going to be something evaluation -wise.
425
00:31:03,500 --> 00:31:05,060
see a shift there.
426
00:31:06,100 --> 00:31:07,780
So this is just a quick scan.
427
00:31:08,810 --> 00:31:13,470
I don't know if we could, let's see,
knight e5.
428
00:31:15,430 --> 00:31:18,170
Yeah, well, first off, I mean knight c6.
429
00:31:19,350 --> 00:31:22,990
Bishop e2, knight c6 is really the main
problem because of d5.
430
00:31:24,070 --> 00:31:28,570
So something's given up there, and it
was a slow, you know, it just got worse.
431
00:31:28,650 --> 00:31:33,770
But let's see what some of the
suggestions are by the computer here.
432
00:31:35,250 --> 00:31:37,170
On the right -hand side, just kind of...
433
00:31:38,179 --> 00:31:43,480
Well, it really doesn't even go into,
you know, some other suggestion besides
434
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:48,960
knight to c6 here, but, you know, there
is this main move of
435
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:55,960
e5, and then on d5, we go in
436
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,860
this direction where black will be
playing on the king side, and I'm going
437
00:31:58,860 --> 00:31:59,860
the queen side.
438
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:06,120
But they didn't strike first in the
center, and that turned out to be a big
439
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:07,120
problem.
440
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,400
Takes... I mean, where are there some
other... where is there maybe another
441
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:16,840
improvement? This is having it as a .7,
.8 advantage, so...
442
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:23,760
Approaching... You know, it's just,
again,
443
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,920
a difficult road ahead. I mean, I'm not
sure what other options there are. I'm
444
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,300
just holding this E4 point.
445
00:32:30,260 --> 00:32:32,580
If they're ever taking, these are
then... I mean...
446
00:32:33,420 --> 00:32:37,380
It remains. They remain doubled. They're
either going to be doubled as a group
447
00:32:37,380 --> 00:32:42,660
or double isolated. So this is just even
worse, given exchanging.
448
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,880
I mentioned it earlier. If they're
exchanging their F pawn for my E pawn,
449
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:51,240
double isolated pawns, that can't be
good.
450
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,740
So what else?
451
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,380
It's really difficult to suggest
something, to be perfectly honest here.
452
00:33:03,940 --> 00:33:10,320
Hmm. I mean, it's just a growing
advantage from this point. Knight c5,
453
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,640
It's not pointing out some other
suggestion here. I thought bishop back.
454
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,340
And I was planning knight d3.
455
00:33:20,060 --> 00:33:21,840
Then they have to tend to this pawn.
456
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:24,200
Bishop here.
457
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,580
I'm not sure. Oh, I think I said I was
going to consider this move.
458
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,580
Bishop here is ruled out because of c5
and bishop here.
459
00:33:36,300 --> 00:33:40,000
Well, now I can think about entering
with c5 and then rook here with tempo.
460
00:33:41,580 --> 00:33:48,480
So this would be very difficult to
defend if black did go in this direction
461
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:52,660
this knee -jerk reaction type move, you
know, here boxing the knight out from
462
00:33:52,660 --> 00:33:54,800
these advancing squares, very common.
463
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,100
But knight here and...
464
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,860
into this square, gaining a tempo here,
and then hitting this pawn. It's very,
465
00:34:01,980 --> 00:34:03,000
very difficult to defend.
466
00:34:03,340 --> 00:34:09,280
The bishop's only one that could do it,
and the as -mentioned c5,
467
00:34:09,380 --> 00:34:14,520
c5 with then a rook invasion, that's too
much, and you've got the bishop coming
468
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,120
here with a check. It's just crumbling.
469
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:24,159
So maybe relatively best is what they
did in the game here, giving
470
00:34:24,159 --> 00:34:27,400
up the bishop, improving their king
position, but they were just sectioned
471
00:34:28,250 --> 00:34:32,210
The king, it was either one or the other
pieces. I was mentioning it earlier
472
00:34:32,210 --> 00:34:38,929
about, I think, right around here. Right
around when they played bishop
473
00:34:38,929 --> 00:34:43,370
f8, I said, well, how are they getting
their bishop on this, you know, playing
474
00:34:43,370 --> 00:34:44,370
on this diagonal?
475
00:34:44,690 --> 00:34:47,310
They'd have to move their bishop.
They're hard -pressed to find a good
476
00:34:47,310 --> 00:34:48,810
other than e6 for their bishop.
477
00:34:50,270 --> 00:34:56,090
And, you know, after they did this move,
you know, if we have this sort of
478
00:34:56,090 --> 00:35:01,060
thing, and then playing up here to the
bishop, that's bad. It's like one piece
479
00:35:01,060 --> 00:35:03,520
will always remain bad for black in this
position.
480
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:09,060
One of the two bishops, as it turned out
in the game, the king ended up being
481
00:35:09,060 --> 00:35:15,560
cut off, so the king was never really a
great contributor to the black position,
482
00:35:15,700 --> 00:35:19,440
and one of their bishops was always bad.
483
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,780
The dark square bishop, he never really
got activated.
484
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:30,720
Just giving that check first,
inconveniencing the king, and this
485
00:35:30,720 --> 00:35:35,300
enter now, just for that one moment.
Notice if I didn't do that first, right?
486
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:41,320
If I just take right away, takes, I
don't have d7, so inconvenience first,
487
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:47,480
then move forward with taking, activate
the rook, keep him activated, and just
488
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:48,820
improving first.
489
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,780
One other detail, I don't know how...
490
00:35:53,190 --> 00:35:58,790
Big a deal it is, but if I was to play,
let's say, king d2 instead of h3,
491
00:35:58,910 --> 00:36:05,570
this could be... My h -pawn is maybe
492
00:36:05,570 --> 00:36:11,850
a little bit more vulnerable to, I don't
know, like a quick rook down here and
493
00:36:11,850 --> 00:36:12,850
then capture.
494
00:36:12,930 --> 00:36:19,370
If I have this pawn up here, if there's
ever this exchange and another exchange
495
00:36:19,370 --> 00:36:26,350
here, the resulting base point, f3, is
an easier point for me to defend than
496
00:36:26,350 --> 00:36:32,030
a pawn all the way over here on h2,
which I don't know how great, you know,
497
00:36:32,030 --> 00:36:38,950
it really is likely to be an issue, but
that's, you know, that's just
498
00:36:38,950 --> 00:36:42,270
like the quick thought that I had. You
know, if you are going to get this break
499
00:36:42,270 --> 00:36:47,210
in, there won't be an h -pawn. I won't
have an h -pawn on the board that you
500
00:36:47,210 --> 00:36:48,350
could even think about attacking.
501
00:36:49,359 --> 00:36:54,060
and I'll have an f -pawn, which is a
little bit easier for me to defend with
502
00:36:54,060 --> 00:36:55,060
king.
503
00:36:55,420 --> 00:36:59,740
Ideally, you want your king in the
center, so if he could also be in the
504
00:36:59,740 --> 00:37:05,860
and conveniently defend f3, should there
be pressure on f3 one day, I'm better
505
00:37:05,860 --> 00:37:11,860
off in that case. So h3 first, that's
why I don't think I was able to really
506
00:37:11,860 --> 00:37:17,080
voice that during the game, but that's
what was going through my mind.
507
00:37:19,460 --> 00:37:23,460
So, yeah, and there's really very little
suggestion here. I mean, this is
508
00:37:23,460 --> 00:37:30,440
already a winning position because you
could go by sectioning
509
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,800
it off, the king side and the queen
side. The queen side, I'm playing with
510
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:38,000
extra pawn, a healthy majority versus an
unhealthy majority on the king side.
511
00:37:38,900 --> 00:37:43,300
And you could also do a piece -by -piece
comparison, rook versus rook, king
512
00:37:43,300 --> 00:37:44,920
versus king, bishop versus bishop.
513
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:48,760
You know, they're better.
514
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:55,640
So I think, again, it's coming all the
way back to that,
515
00:37:55,700 --> 00:38:00,600
you know, I'm sure there's, of course,
more resistance that could have been put
516
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:01,600
up.
517
00:38:01,780 --> 00:38:07,320
But that decision to play knight to c6
and play a position where you have the
518
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:14,140
double d pawns, I've seen that played,
but then the follow -up of a quick
519
00:38:14,140 --> 00:38:15,360
at the d5 pawn.
520
00:38:16,090 --> 00:38:20,570
So let me just point out one additional
thing here. I've seen that move before.
521
00:38:21,390 --> 00:38:27,790
Don't know that it can be recommended,
but knight to c6, takes, takes.
522
00:38:28,150 --> 00:38:29,890
I've seen this as a follow -up.
523
00:38:31,450 --> 00:38:37,950
What did I do next? I castled. So after
a castle, instead of c5, yeah, instead
524
00:38:37,950 --> 00:38:40,450
of c5, the move e6.
525
00:38:40,770 --> 00:38:45,270
And at least you're exchanging one of
the doubled pawns off for this one here.
526
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,680
White will still be standing better due
to the space advantage.
527
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:54,520
Just having an easier time, a bit more
free pieces.
528
00:38:55,700 --> 00:39:00,000
Again, it's still a big question here.
With this pawn now fixed on the e5
529
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,560
square, what exactly is he doing?
530
00:39:02,700 --> 00:39:07,040
Even in situations like this, should
this pawn come up, I just leave it
531
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:13,900
and continue with developing. I take
like this, and now I have
532
00:39:13,900 --> 00:39:14,900
a place for my rook.
533
00:39:16,020 --> 00:39:17,020
But anyhow,
534
00:39:17,740 --> 00:39:22,120
interesting middle game, interesting
535
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:28,920
early night C6 move again, I don't know.
Really
536
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:29,920
can't play that.
537
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:36,320
But anyhow, feel free to leave any
comments in the comment section below to
538
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:41,360
video. As usual, I hope you got
something out of it, and I'll catch you
539
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,880
next one. That's all for now. Take care.
Bye.
