00:00Not my favorite position, but probably the most popular one now.
00:04No, knight takes a four, d4, knight d6, bishop takes a six.
00:14So that's what I called a middle game without queens.
00:20But even if you play these positions, of course, you can make different moves.
00:24You can play h6 or you can play h5.
00:26You can put bishop d7, king on c8.
00:28You can leave king on e8.
00:30You can play b6.
00:32You can play knight d7.
00:33So there are many options for black.
00:35Not so many for white, but definitely white also has choices to make.
00:41But you have to start it well.
00:43It's not that you can just play it without good preparation.
00:48My mistake in the year 2000 when I faced it against Kromnick was that instead of just moving away,
00:53I still tried to actually prove something.
00:55I believed, you know, that I could, you know, find some weaknesses there.
00:59By the way, I found eventually, I beat Kromnick, won a very nice game in Astana in 2001.
01:07I was very close winning against him in Vykanze in 2001 after the match.
01:12But during the match, it was stupid of me.
01:14And by the way, I paid an ultimate price.
01:16So you do something you don't have to do, k-ship forces you to pay a price.
01:21And I did pay this price and I learned my lesson.
01:25So I still played e4 against Kromnick, but I also played d4.
01:29And by the way, you know, I realized that flexibility is quite important.
01:33I knew it before when I played Karpov, but sometimes when you do play well and you are on the top for so long,
01:42you lose a sense of danger.
01:45You believe that you can play this, that line.
01:48You always, you know, you always prevail.
01:50No, it's not necessary.
01:53There's certain positions that your opponent can do better.
01:56And eliminating Queens definitely was not.
