Hello everyone, I'm Samostikali and in this video, I want to start a series which I show you rapid games I play every day, trying to improve my chest and move to 2,400 or above playing long-time control. And I'm quite late 2,214 rated, and I was playing with higher rated players, as you can see, I won this game. was a higher rated player 2, 3, 2, 9 and I was white. So, because I have so much time, I went back to my, the way I used to play while I was younger, I was known for Gambits in chess. So it started with E4, E5, 9 to F3, and I played the move after Bishop to C5, I played the move B4. This is known as the Evans Gambits, which White intends to give up a pun. and gets faster development. So my opener pick up the pawn and the game continued. So if an openet, I just gone back, I'm just going to attack the knights. And once the knight moves away, I grab up the pawn and I'm a pawn up. And it's not so simple how it continues, but it's always better for whites. So the most challenging way to play against the advanced gambit is accept the pun. So he took the pun and... I hit the bishop with the temple with the move c3 and after the bishop goes back there's d4 after d4 my opponent played bishop to b6 um I think this is one of the very good ways to play against the Evans gambit because you are actually telling white that okay fine you can build up the center but I'm up a pawn and I'll be fine at the end of the day so What does white too in this position? White actually, I castled. Now, if I play a move like D5, black just comes back here, and I think that black can easily, that white doesn't have that big strength center again and this point seems stretched out a bit. So instead of doing that, I cast it in this position and he played the move D6. Now, after D6, I played H3. then after going to E7, rope to E1, now these are just simple developing moves. After H6, I played Bishop to E3, then he played Vimov G5. Now in this position, my opponent is up upon, and I have only my centre to build as a compensation for that. So at the end of the day, is trying to attack me on the wing and I have to actually do something about this. So the move I played here was A4. Now the idea of A4 is if I can get A5, I'm going to definitely win a piece. For example, let's say my opening play something like this, I can play A5, and if it takes with the bishop, I attack the knight, and if the knight moves away, I gain the bishop. And if it takes with the knight, I can always just take this bishop, and after this check, I win the bishop back. So generally that's my plan and my opponent saw that and played the move A5. Now after A5, I continued with Bishop Knight's Zoo, A3. Now, if you notice, you can look at my time. After this move, after this move G5, I thought for a long time because I wanted to make sure that i don't play wrongly here so the move i was thinking of for a very long time was the move d5 i wanted to play d5 but i wasn't sure how this could pan out for me if d5 was very early and all that so i ended up trying to with this idea and after this idea i kind of knew my next couple of moves and after punt takes bishop takes then i played the move d5 so the difference in this position is i kind of feel like at this point breaking the center is very easy for me to attack the queen's side because my rook can connect to the queen side and my pieces are all developed. So knight went back, Bishop takes Bishop and now I attack the B-Pon. On a first glance, I realized that I'm going to win the B-Pon, which I was very happy about. But the bishop is pinning my knight to my queen, meaning that if I move my queen away, it's going to capture it and there will be a doubled pun. but also worried about that so after queen to b6 i went to b3 myself so after queen to c-7 i went queen to b3 myself and bishop took the knight pawn 6 and now i'm still down with pawn but i'm about to win my pun back but the position is still very very very interesting and it just looks like white is better from here now he played the move knight f6 i took the pawn and he exchanged queens which i was surprised he did then king up to 7, I went knight to b5. After knight to b5, I'm attacking the point on d6, it's attacking my bishop, but I just have this tactic knight takes d6, so now you can actually take my bishop because it's protected, and after Rook to C7, knight to F5 check. And now in this position, I thought about it, there's a free knight's there, but my bishop is hanging. if I take the knight, um, he take the bishop, although of course I could still win this position because I have moves like this and if it takes this, you know, I can, I can keep on pushing this pawn because there's no way for him to defend himself after I push this puff. For example, if he takes this, he can't stop the knight, the pawn push and the knight cannot escape. So I saw that was a good idea to take the knight, but I felt like what I played was stronger. rook attacks knight so now i'm attacking the knight if he takes my bishop rook takes the knight and my as well lead to checkmate or something i don't know but i probably not calculate it well because bishop takes rook takes knight comes back or maybe pump push here was a very good move so maybe it's not so bad what i played so but my opponent did not let me take the knight he brought his rook here then i took the knight now up a piece and this was not so difficult to win From here, it was easy to win, and I was just up a piece and I just exchanged and pushed the pawn all the way to the end. So that was the game I played today and I got the W. This is CheckMet for 1 and it's very interesting when I play Gambits and when it ends up in a win for me. So tomorrow I'm going to share another game and thank you for watching if you actually did and see you my next video, bye.
