00:00Black has just an extra extra move. But what if white play g3?
00:05Then there's a queen sacrifice. Knight takes g3, then queen f2, pin.
00:11Knight takes f1, queen takes h4, knight takes e3.
00:18White has to defend against knight c2 check. That's king e2, that's the right move.
00:23Knight takes c4, the best move is rook c1, and then Black plays knight a6, and it's a game.
00:32It's a game. In fact, I even played this game with white once against Yassir Serovan.
00:36Very complicated game. I think I was better at one point, but it was very sharp.
00:40It ended up as a draw.
00:43I have to say that in the game against Karpov, for some reasons I decided against sacrificing the queen
00:51and went back to e7, bad move, and Karpov played a very good game.
00:56He won it. It didn't help him to save the match, because I was already two points ahead,
01:01and we drew the final game, game 24. I won the match, our last match, the fifth one.
01:07And I kept coming back, so thinking, okay, so what about this queen sacrifice?
01:14Because what I didn't like is just, you know, that when you take this pawn,
01:18the knight has to go back, and it's not the best location.
01:21And then suddenly I realized, it's always nice to take a pawn,
01:25but we already have a broken material balance.
01:29Black has two bishop and a pawn for the queen.
01:32One extra pawn maybe doesn't make much of a difference.
01:35What about playing the knight c2?
01:37That's a move I strongly recommend.
01:40That's a novelty that, you know, could be a game changer.
01:45White moves rook somewhere on the farm, and then you go back.
01:50Now knight is on d4, king d1, knight d7, knight e2,
01:55and here you can even play something like a6.
01:59You're preventing...
