Crush the Sicilian Najdorf the Easy Way with the Classical Variation | Chess Opening Blueprint

Hi everyone, I'm Jonathan Trance and today I wanted to make a video about the Sicilian Night and I actually wanted to show you a way that you can play this as white. I know a lot of people when it comes to open Sicilian. They often have questions about how exactly they should respond to all kinds of different

variation

s. Many people avoid open Sicilian because there are so many

variation

s they need to learn, but I want to show you a recipe and encourage you to do it. play the open

sicilian

. I want to share with you a recipe to combat the Sicilian Nighy Dorf and my recommended line here in this position is actually to move the bishop to e2 and this has many good points and many of them are psychological. well, when you play the move Bishop to e2 you are like saying you know maybe I'm not going to play as aggressive maybe I'm not going to play Bishop III maybe I'm not going to play Bishop to g5 however I like the Bishop e2 with an idea clever, we're not going to play the main line here, we're going to play something really sharp, really aggressive, try to put black on the back foot from move 1, when white normally plays bishop to e2, the normal idea is to just play Safely. your next move is to continue with castling, you know, maybe you develop your bishop at some point, maybe you play four very slow very positional moves fighting against b5 and maybe finally you play King h1, play f4 in the center and you know if black has I have ever played moves like 'if I move our knight back and try to make it difficult and fight for positional Trump as you know, we get the d5 square, these kind of plans will be typical and what black expects more or less' however, black could play many different structures here, black could play a form and ingen structure, for example with film 6, so we should know a little about that, he could play an irregular Orff with g6, combining the knight or F and the dragon, which is also an interesting way to play, but today we will focus on the main line which, in my experience, every night or the player makes the move e5 which is a little broader playing with the Orff knight and here There is the beauty of my recommendation.

To see three separate games today, I'm going to put all the games in the description below, if you want to go see them one by one in your I'll also include the link to the studio, so if you want, you want to go back you want to see this is unleashed if you want back you want to check the leach study go below and there will be a link to the study now my idea, although before we get into it, Let's look at the moves of Bishop d7 and Bishop to e6. We're going to cover both in this little series here, but real quick after Bishop to e7, my idea is not to play the main move, which is just a castle. but make a very smart holding move and the move I'm going to recommend here is the bishop move to e3 and the point here is that we are not castleping on the kingside because it is very possible that we want to castle on the queenside and In fact, in most lines that is exactly what we are going to do, we are waiting to see if Black wants to castle and if he castles, which we will see in our first game, our idea is to start and attack with the g4 move and we will see that it is very

easy

for White to make a big attack from the beginning of the game.

Another idea is if they delay castling if they want to play, you know, Bishop to e7 or something like that, we still have ideas of potentially playing. f4 and there's a lot more to cover, but with all that in mind I want to jump into our first game here and the first game I want to share with you is this game between Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura that was played. In Tata Steel in 2017, I will shrink myself a little to make it a little easier to read the text above me and with that in mind we will jump right into this game because it is very interesting here, most players prefer the Bishop move to e6. which is also a semi-waiting move, so we wait with the bishop until e3.

Black can wait for the e6 bishop by simply playing a normal move fighting for d5 and just taking it and waiting to see where White decides to castle and whether White wants to do something aggressive or not. However, it is interesting to note that Nakamura decided to castle, so clearly he must believe that this is a good move, since at least it is fine and acceptable, and White could again play the castled move on the king's side and You know there's nothing wrong. with it you cancel the king's side maybe a follow up later with f4 and you have a correct game, however Magnus goes straight to g4 and this is the way I like to play, it is so simple that you will just follow with g5. play h4 and eventually at some point we will play f4 combining it with the fact that white simply goes to Castle on the queenside, castles with Queen d2 and will have a very good game, so here we will not decide to play Bishop to e6 and white They just continued with the normal move which is pawn to g5, so here the knight retreated and the queen d2 and h4 seem very logical moves to me and the really good thing about this is that it will be very

easy

for White to force the

opening

of something on the king. side, for example, once we make the move h5, we can simply make a move like g6 next, assuming that black doesn't want to move the pawns and he really doesn't and you're going to force something open, so you're guaranteed. to have some kind of attack here in the future here Nakamura played Knight on b6 Black's main plans include putting Knights on the c4 square.

Black understands that the d2 Queen and castlings are approaching, so he is preparing to go here, which will usually force White to give up the bishop. now White continues with the Queen on d2 and Nakamura simply develops the Knight on d7, so here obviously castling the queenside seems like a very logical move. Magnus, however, played this interesting f4 move, so he hasn't yet committed to queenside castling, but he played f4 immediately, which really threatens only the f5 positional move that would not only force Black to surrender the bishop as if you just passed completely would not only lose control over the d5 square but also f6 in the future would come in quite nicely. quickly, then this essentially forces Black to take f4, which happens and now the bishop takes f4, so here the pawn structure has changed, so every time the pawn structure changes we want to take a look and see what is happening, now we can understand why this.

The knight went to d7, so from Black's point of view he needs to protect himself so deeply, well, he will castle and have three attackers on the d6 pawn, so Black will simply be able to make a move like the Knight to e5 and it looks very nice. At night, there's no doubt about it, but another big advantage is that by removing this pawn on e5, we've created a square on d4, so this knight will almost always pivot to the d4 square, where it can end up going. f5 joining for an attack it is also worth noting that white often this Knight has a plan to go to d5 even if it means closing this pawn structure allowing this change in the pawn structure because with this big thorn pawn here in d5 is still It's going to be very easy to turn and if Black doesn't have the bishop, the f5 square will be clear the other night and these are just some of the basic battle plans, Black on the other hand will try to do it. blocking the Knight on e5 trying to get one of these Knights on c4 and trying to find some tactics here on the Kings side things come in on c8 the Queen could go to c7 she could go to a5 the pawn should be arriving Five black will need Trying to attack here, however, it seems that from my experience and just from watching this game, White's attack seems to land first in many cases, so it's really simple and easy to play.

It was Magnus' choice and he continued with the castling move and here after the rook's move to c8 it is also very logical to continue waiting. It's actually fun to note how long Nakamura waited in this game before putting a knight on c4 and it's also very interesting to watch. exactly what Magnus did here Magnus is a maneuver here, he actually slows down, takes some precautions, there are a lot of interesting tactics that sometimes happen here on the king's side and his idea is actually for the king to be a one by one king. one Magnus is going to execute his king. until he gets to the corner and he starts with the King to be one move and I've seen him do this King be one King a one maneuver in a lot of different games so he does it here against the horse I've seen. him doing games against the dragon he did it in a game against him he did it and I think that was the point Neo grünfeld since he has done it a lot, he castles the Queen's side and puts that King completely on one where he defends against some of the tactics that we will see in a moment.

He queens c7 and now they move h5 what was played, so yes, he showed a little patience and now he will eventually play h5 and probably g6 will be the best. There is a way to get into the black pawn structure here, it's also interesting. I mean, Nakamura plays the F rook to e8. Both guys are very patient, he's just creating a square for the bishop and you know he's going to try to set up a little stronghold and defend against some. of the attacks that White will launch at him and yes, both guys are very, very patient and we see it here again with the King's move to a-1 and one of the points is that every time there is a knight on the C 4 square There are sometimes tactics if your king is on b1 and if you can imagine in your head that one of the nights goes to c4, possibly White will exchange one of the knights in an order or not, but from the square sometimes ideas arise like night to a3 and other strange tactics when the king is in position is one where if you retreat with a pawn you would move the defender from C 3, so here the King to a-1 Bishop to f8 and now you move the Knight to d4 , so this is one of the main night maneuvers that white must take into account.

The knight goes here and most of the time it just goes to that very nice f5 square. Queen was played to c5 and now the move g6 that will not disappear here finally places one of his knights. on c4 and we can see after changing one of the knights, the queen to d3, black is looking around and you have to be a little careful as white always wants to try to take into account what his opponent is doing , but keeping the queen connected to the knight is a very good decision because black is looking for tactics like he has to find something before white crashes, so black looks around, okay, maybe this is a sacrifice if the king was still on b1, then maybe the knight. a3 is sometimes actually a good tactical idea, obviously black can have slow ideas like b4 b5, but do you really have time for something like this?

Donis will be with black to try to think of something quickly. Spot it, maybe Queen to b4 could be one of the ideas, so why do you just need to be a little careful and make sure you're ready to take a look at your opponent's threats? Well, you're also attacking them here, so we get the file to open and play h6, so it temporarily closes the king's side here, however now White will be looking every turn for the move. The bishop takes the h6 job as soon as you get this hook here, White will be looking to try and blow it up. one way or another Queen was played on g3, this seems like a good way to start because now this pawn is ready to go to g7, so you can imagine in some line if we sacrifice on h6 and the pawn moves, maybe g7 come here now after the Queen goes to b6 making a threat, so we have to be careful here, he just puts the bishop back on c1 defending against the threat and White will keep attacking and the sacrifice won't be able to do it for a bit, but let's see how the game really develops here after the Queen to a5 white simply plays the rook to f1 and yet after the Knight e5 the Knight d5 is a good way to obstruct it and this is even a pawn sacrifice, but notice how now that there are no more.

He is no longer a threat on b2 after some captures and we plundered the pond he can cross on h6 and White's attack here is simply too strong and Mangus won this and in very fine style a flawless conversion from here makes the g7 movement. and after Bishop to e7 takes h6, so yeah, very good, you can see why black has just broken through, he doesn't have an attack, so all you can do is hope to defend, but here's another spectacular move, Yes, feel free to pause at any time if you want. I want to try to play like Magnus in these positions, feel free to pause here, but the queen g6 is such a strong and powerful move after this exchange that it folds, the queen threatens to reach h8 and yes, it gives up a bishop, but yes, Magnus, of course, finds.

There is a very very good continuation here so the queen h8 makes another queen and after the captures he takes f6 and yes after the rook e1 Nakamura had to throw in the towel here so here is a really very model attack good from Magnus. OnlyI want to point out this approach seems so normal. I think most opponents are not going to pass with the d6 bishop. The most natural move is castling. I mean, why not just castle and white is expected to castle, but this g4 attack where both white players actually? he showed tremendous patience, it seems to work very well, it's a very good recipe for white to finally crash and an excellent game from the world champion, so for me this variation appeared on the map when I saw magnus carlsen play.

I watched Magnus Carlsen games many times and that's where I get a lot of inspiration for my own repertoire, obviously the guy is brilliant and has a lot of great

opening

ideas, but I always have a very special place in my heart for any game played here at st . Louis, so one of those games was played between Wonder Liang and Caden at the 2016 US Junior Championship, so it's one of the most exciting tournaments, whenever kids play here we usually have a lot of tactical openings and a lot of really fun

chess

and in this game I want to point out a slightly different plan that can happen. all the time so again we get the move we played Bishop u2 after E 5 was played, we are looking once again at the Bishop to e7 and then we will go back and take a look at the Bishop to e6. in our next game, but after Bishop to e3, this is our patient waiting move.

Caden played bishop to e6 in this game and this is an excellent move, Black is waiting, so there are actually many moves White can choose from here. for example, castles, which is the main move, white can play Knight to d5, which I want to show in this game, but there are also two other moves. Queen 2 D 3 F 4 Queen d2, there seems to be a lot of moves in this position. so really black has to be prepared for much more than black. However, I like this move from Knight to d5 and one of the reasons it always stands out in my mind is that I once played a blitz game against a master and I played this line and won so smoothly with the plan I gave them.

I'm going to illustrate today that he accused me of cheating, so I'm back in my mind, it's like in my mind I'm always thinking if you play this way. People might accuse you of cheating because it's a bit strange that you allow Black to change the pawn structure. Normally White never wants to allow a capture here, for example closing this square by closing the d5 square so you know you don't have this normal plan. to prevent d5 you don't have the normal pressure against d6 but it is an excellent pawn structure and I will explain why I like it in a moment, however after Knight to d5 the main point is that this pawn is just dangling , we have a queen and a bishop pointing to the b6 square, so for example if they take e4 you can just hit them with the bishop move to d6, now they are absolutely toast here after the knight to c8 you can play.

Knight to c7 obviously we're going to grab that rook, we're going to lose the king and you can grab this rook right away or you can be a little mean and just move this bishop somewhere and let them know that the rook really can. Not going anywhere either way, this is great for White, so what usually happens is the Knight takes d5 or what is actually Knight B's main move to d7. In any case, we'll probably get a very similar pawn structure at some point. will give in and have to take d5, for example, now that the e-pawn is really attacked, most people are playing Queen on d3, which is not such a bad square for the Queen, and yet after castled, at some point Black will probably need to give in and we'll get the same pawn structure we see in the game here, albeit with a slightly different piece configuration, but you can imagine that over the next two moves Plex's plan will be to move the knight away and play f5 and how We will see the normal plans for this pawn structure for White is when Black eventually makes the f5 move to meet it with the f4 move and when we get there we will talk about the consequences of such a plan, the other idea for White.

Because we have more space on the Queen's side, here it is like the spearhead of our pawn chain, White will try to make moves like c4 and eventually get the knight out of the way, play b4 c5, these types of breaks pawns, so we return. to the game after Knight to d5 in our featured game here the move that was made was Knight takes d5 and after the pawn retreats the bishop had to move to f5 and we start to see the basic plans here and one of the ways to get it. these pawns rolling is fine c4, it's an easy free move, but another interesting way is that we have to get this Knight out of the way at some point, so one of the best ways to do it is Queen to d2 Knight to a5 and Queen to d2 .

It is important to defend our knight and then if the knights are here on a 5, which also puts a lot of pressure on the pawn, we continue with b4 potential moves like the rook to c1, if then I can go back to three and White will eventually move They will crash. with the c5 move and if you can hold off everything Black is going to do, Black needs to make the f5 move to make any progress in this structure, it will require another Bishop move followed by, okay, presumably the black school, both sledding, responsible time advice, but then after f5.

We will face it with f4 and try to stop any aggression from Black, so the Queen played d2 in this game castled the Knight to d7 and now we see the typical plan of the White Knight to a5 with the idea of ​​following it with c4. and b4, then the Queen played c7 and texted the C-pawn, but the C-pawn will go to c4 anyway and now, after the Bishop to g7, we see the move b4, so it is a very logical on the part of both sides and here Black actually makes a fairly slow move. I've seen this route plan to e8 in Nakamura's game.

It seems that people who play the night off with black really like this maneuver where you can put one of your pieces back on the f8 square. It was also possible to perform the f5 move. and I want to spend this time, I think this is an even more popular move, most people will play f5 and again White's idea is to meet this with the f4 move, so let's take a real quick moment to discuss the possibilities here because there are three things black can do, black can ignore and let up the tension, which seems to make sense, in that case white will need to keep increasing the pressure to try to make the c5 move, you know, probably the c1 rook eventually Knight b3.

These types of moves would be very logical in the first place, although let's see what happens if they take f4. I think this is one of the most natural and popular ways to handle this position well, now you would simply retreat and We are already threatening the c5 move and I want to give just a quick example of how White can often perform the c5 move in tactical circumstances, so if black does nothing, we play c5 and this could end up being a disaster for black, so what do the players have to do? What they did in the past was play Queen to b6, which came out of this pin and defended against the threat of c5; however, now, after Knight to f6, we can play this move c5, which is a very tactical move, but very often if you look at the white pieces and there is something active that you are going to be able to sacrifice to move towards this advance after d6 .

Also Knight to c4 was probably another very strong move for White, but after d6 here now Knight to c4 things are going very well. Well, Black is going to do it, if he wants to take this pond, he will need to waste a little time and I want to mention this move from the queen to d1, which actually threatens to trap the queen with the rook to write it, for example, if here I can already see some examples of the Queen. Take a look around, there aren't many boxes if you go here. The Bishop to e5 will be a Queen trapped there, so there will be tons of activity and tons of active play.

White is at a disadvantage, but all the activity will really work in his favor. The D-pawn looks great, this bishop could reach f3, the rooks will come in very quickly and yes, sometimes you have to be ready to sacrifice in these types of positions, but that's just one example of how things could end up. So going back to if f5 had been played again, f4 and I just want to watch movie 4, which is usually one of the worst options, but a lot of players you play against might end up doing it because it looks good at first.

Look, you play the movie because after all you get a passed pawn, but it really stifles Black's structure. Now it is not so easy for Black to make any progress on the queen side. You know he's going to have to try to set up like potentially h6 g5 and White. It's going to be a lot faster, so you'd love to see the movie where you get ideas of the night coming around b3 to d4, where you can potentially jump to the e6 square if the B pawn moves. you jump to the square rook c6, c1 also comes and another way to put pressure against these pools is for White to make the move on g4 in the future;

It is often a very normal idea for white in this type of position to play g4 which may seem a bit aggressive, but yes, if you take this pun, then the e-pond will also become a weakness, so yes, all that is very typical and normal for this opening, so with all that in mind in our game after p4 was played from rook to e8 was played and now we saw that c1 gains life and c5 comes, so black decided playing this move b6, a bit controversial, letting the knight finish, but now we see the points up to f8 and that was playing the bishop move to f8 and here White made a very interesting and very good decision, so this was one of the moves I was a little surprised by, but I think it turned out to work very well and that move was bishop to d3 just exchanging these bishops.

This bishop ends up being pretty good and we would love to see the black guy put it out, if yes the black guy puts it out which just moves again and then he just says yeah if you go here it won't be that easy because I have knights jumping, Yeah. probably here right away because then you won't even be able to move your bishop out of the way to defend the square, so if you know that you forced this pawn here, you might actually be forcing Black to make some concessions that Black doesn't really want. do. this pawn to e4 until you are absolutely ready to start running with all your pawns here, so yeah, all right, play bishop to d3, which means we're going to exchange these bishops and now after the knight to b8, we saw capture and movement. b5 so it's solidifying that night there now obviously black isn't going to capture but I guess black was very happy in this position to close everything on the queen side so yeah it was a very interesting example if black has not played everything.

Too bad, both players have actually moved on quite well up to this point, however now after f4 what ends up happening in the game and again you don't want to play a move like 'if he captured, it's actually white.' it has a little more space, it's not horrible at all, but it worked very well for white in this game, but yes, at some point here it became difficult for black to defend, white is now going to collide here and in this position until now. everything has gone normally as planned, but here white really should have captured this pawn.

I guess it's hard when you're in these types of positions and in real life you want to find moves that improve without having to respond to what your opponent wants, maybe you worried after BM like you knew Luke DEA: press here, but white should be able to make a move like the route to h3 or possibly move this bishop somewhere and have a very good position on top. It doesn't happen in the game, White is playing for some activity here and now yes, the d4 bishop was probably also a mistake by White in those better ways of trying to remove this defender from f6, but yes, we can see that in some more moves eventually it becomes very tactical, very fast, white complicates it, makes it tactical, traps the rook, but there will be some tactics based on rook seizures on g6 in the future here and yes, after this SEC exchange, white they take g6, kind of like me. he said that these guys when they play in the junior champions they like to make it very tactical and yes he found a way to expose this king and after this capture he recaptured the f4 queen, this is where black finally made the final mistake that cost him . the game you can pause and spend some time trying to figure it out for yourself it's a very complicated ending here it went to g6 which is actually a mistake the only move that kept it in the game was king to h7 so yeah you get this idea that it is very difficult to defend this type of position with Black.

I don't want to go too deep intothis. This is mainly about the opening in this conference, but here he managed to win this pawn with check and then followed up with a pretty good move Queen to f4 Queen f7 and here he threatens mate, so after some checks I made a precise move in this position , so I like this, not taking the bishop directly. King g2 is even more accurate where Black is simply having a hard time defending against the main threat, so when he finally does, White will be able to make another beautiful move, so yes, he has fought the idea of ​​the route reaching h5, but now the Queen to e6 is the beautiful way to defend here and yeah, I mean, take a look around.

You will have to block if you go here, we will start making a straight with the Queen and the rook, so you had to defend this way and there should certainly be a way for White to win this game here. Quickly now white will be able to place a letter this way so I thought it was a very interesting game and I really liked it and of course it was played in st. Louis and I want to focus one last time on the main part of this middlegame, so we are again looking at the lines with the bishop on e7, but this time, when Black is patient, Black did not castle and allowed g4 with an El Black's great attack played Bishop until e6, which allows this very interesting option, it is not the only option you can.

You can certainly come up with something else if you don't like this pawn structure or want to play this a little differently. as white, there are certainly many more lines that could be seen, but I love this idea of ​​getting the pawn structure and then following it with yes, Queen d2, night goes to a5 C 4 B 4 and eventually, although it didn't happen in this game c5 could be played in many positions, so yeah, it's a great example of these two guys, very nice, and this last example that I want to show you today is a game that I didn't really know about before.

We started preparing for this conference today, but in our position model here, sometimes our opponents will play Bishop to e6, so now we'll take a break from looking at Bishop d7 to see what happens if they play this move Bishop to e6 and as the 1974 Frederick Olufsen vs. Luba Mirka Volek game with White will illustrate. Again you have excellent chances of landing a big attack and the popular moves here in this position are again not what I'm going to recommend. People like to castle. People like to put the bishop on III or g5, but I want to point out that I do want to. to point out that there is another possible sharp continuation after the f4 move.

I really like this move, it is a very aggressive move and hints at just playing the f5 move directly and if White can get away with it he will have a great position, so let's take a quick look and see what could happen, for example if you just ignore it and play Bishop on e7, we are going to play f5 where you will have to put this Bishop on some kind of awkward square like d7 this is probably the best move, but then it moves like Bishop to e3 and Bishop to f3 and some order will come of movement.

White will probably castle fine either way, you know, you can imagine just canceling the Queen's castling on the kingside and just saying you know life is good. or you can even Castle on the queenside and just go for another attack you know g4 g5 could appear on the board very soon here life should be pretty good for White if instead he takes here this is probably the worst option he really makes giving away the LightSquared bishop. It is very difficult to control the d5 square, which means that Black will never play d5 and White will probably be able to make use of this d5 square at some point, either by simply directly pressing the d6 pawn or if he eventually does. they occupy with a horse.

In the future, coming back to here, the most common move is actually Queen to c7, which gives you this square for the bishop, so after the Bishop to c4, if there is a capture, you can take it back with the Queen and if the opponent decides to take it. here well then we can simply recover f4 and here the bishop has to reach f4 in just one move, as we saw in the previous variations where we had to play bishop to e3 and only after a capture take here, so this should not No It bothers us at all, it's the same kind of treatment, we have pressure here.

The d2 queen castles and we already have this knight pivot to f5 in mind, mixing that with g4 g5 h4 h5, these kinds of ideas will give White a very good game. So the correct way to handle this is with Queen to c7 and if you don't know the main move here, feel free to pause here and see if you can figure out what the most popular move is. You might be thinking of castles. f5 might be thinking about a 4, these are all good moves in this position, but the most aggressive move and the move I really like is the g4 move and here we are even waiting, we're not even going to take out this bishop yet, so yes, g4. that was the move made in this game and white in this game got a really fantastic attack and this was played a long time ago so black didn't know the best plan here but black ended up taking f4 and now he just followed it . up with g5 very strong move the knight jumps back we take f4 and white already has everything in this position it will be a quick development The queen d2 castles followed at some point h4 mixing all these moves in the correct order will give white only Here a big attack 96 was played.

The queen went to d2 and Black here already made a strange decision. Black is already in a lot of danger, but moving the rook to d8 didn't really help the cause and yes, this only makes things worse. black, the main ideas would probably again include taking this Knight to c4. This is what I think most players with black should try to do, possibly turning a knight on e5, so any of these Knights will potentially call this one, so if you were playing this. with black I think I would move this knight, which might seem a little controversial because you might think, well, this guy is not far behind, isn't he already on a normal square?

But I think he would save tonight so that he too We could go to the knight from the C square 4 to b6. We saw Nakamura play it. It is a very typical maneuver for the night. Yes, those typical horse movements are probably the way to go. He tries to lead a knight to square C-4. Black should also consider it. maybe rook to c8, this is usually the best square where sometimes you know when they enlist on the queenside, there are these exchanged sacrifices, yes it is very far away, but sometimes the rook takes c3 will be a normal sacrifice for black on this opposite side, canceling the Sicilian defenses and also him.

There will be five, these are the type of moves I would consider black. I suppose it's worth considering also the bishop e7, which only has the idea of ​​castlening, but maybe there really is something better than the rook to d8 here, now the guy decides to castle. The knight d2 e5 is good, not that bad, h4 arrives and Black again makes a very dubious decision and makes the move g6. I don't like this at all. White is attacking there on the king side, so now it's easy, just make the move h5 after the bishop. to g7, this was the obvious point and I can even consider ending h6, it's the best move, but you know, humiliating the bishop at six is ​​another idea, getting that zero alpha pond on h6, but I love the way in which White played from here Knight to d5.

Yes, okay, they closed this, but changing this pawn structure, as we have seen, is often very good for White after the knight has retreated. He has some dreams of eventually reaching the c5 square. White made a great move here from rook to h3 and in this move it is Great, for many different reasons, we will bring another rook to the H file that will threaten to take g6, where you will not be able to recover the H pawn, you will have to take another awkward way and You also have the idea of ​​swinging, maybe the Queen goes to c3 by pressing the Queen, maybe the rook can go to e3 with the same file as the King, so for many different reasons this is just a fantastic move and it just builds up the pressure, that's why this is much better than a move like h6, you're just slowly building up the pressure and what black will do, the castle that looks like they're going to destroy you, every file will be open so it's not so easy for black to make a very good move.

Knight B was tried on d7 and yes, he just puts all the rooks on the H file and now threatens to take care of what you couldn't get back with your H. pawn, which would be the normal natural way to do it so see what he does. passed to the poor black here in this position he had to play the rook move to g8 you hate to see it now the king is stuck in the middle forever he has the f8 square the future, but it doesn't look pretty and Karl preparing it, makes the King move to win, I love it and it's difficult, how does black make a move?

You just say black, your turn, you make a move, okay. The horses will eventually see four rook tosses. to the same file as the King Very logical King to f8 trying to get out of there and now makes use of the a5 square. The horse is also interesting. It was also a very logical contender to go to that box. I just want to point out. It's not that it's the best in this position, but in these types of positions it's usually a good move and it necessarily is here, but sometimes this knight with a 5 defends in the c-4 square, so I just want to point that out.

It seems like a logical square for a knight in this type of position, but yes, this also seems fine and is just going to tie Black up. He tries to defend his horse this way. Now the move h6 asks the bishop to move away, which is a good decision earlier. does this rook ever move so yeah white has everything here you can't accept this with a knight the queen would be hanging so yeah he just makes all the normal moves on c4 he'll just try to blow up the position in a good way. to do that would be to play the move c5 things are different here we are not going to get it attack from the king's side although the king is very stranded look at these support pieces here and yes, c4 is still very logical and here is a pin, like this That seems very strong, so yes, Black is trying to get rid of one of these pieces.

White simply switches and plays the rook move to e3 and all the time he is hinting at playing this c5 move. Now there are some tactics here, so, for example, you can. Don't just grab this pawn because after we take control again now there's the same pin so you won't be able to take it with a knight and if you're careful, you grab on b6 things seem to fall apart here, you wouldn't. I want to play this way, for that reason the rook to e8 was tried, but now the bishop retreats and finally white can play the c5 moves and this is just a king hunt, the king really shouldn't survive here and in fact , White played an excellent game from this point on, basically this entire game was played excellently by White, that's why I wanted to show it here, he takes as long as we open that king, we'll be doing well and we won't look good.

Well, if you take with the Queen, you will lose this guy, so you will have to take with the King and now, a very good example of a good attack that brings all the pieces together to find another diagonal for the bishop. The King is stranded running everywhere. the spot and the rook on d1 will end up gaining some material here, there's just nothing you can do about it, so some material has dropped, a very nice little combo and yet it didn't last much longer than this. There are many good ways for White to win this. but I think the way he did it still stands up to computer testing, so yes, it's a great example model, so I want to point this out as a last possible way to play if in this position you play Bishop to e6, which you want to know is after f4 Queen c7 the main line is a very nice move g4 and when they give the first kick all night they lift the pawn and you should get an excellent attack especially if black doesn't follow up with any kind of attack, so yeah, I hope you enjoyed it.

I've had great success playing this way against our knight, so I hope you learned some of the tricks and if you like it this way, let me know in the comments below. Play against the horse or is this the way to do it. Are there better ways? Let me know in the comments below, as always, like, share this, let all the people know and I'll see you next time.
