00:00Put it just on the shelf.
00:03So it was not my top priority.
00:07And I was pretty sure that Vichy would play bishop e7.
00:12Because that's what happens if you face such a new line, sharp line.
00:17So you don't go for lines like bishop a5 or bishop c5.
00:21Because they're...
00:22Too much theory.
00:23Too much theory, bishop e7.
00:24And then you play after d4, knight, a5.
00:27You change this bishop.
00:28And it's a position that is fairly solid.
00:33So you don't want to be surprised.
00:35But here I had my surprise.
00:37So that's why I was hoping for Vichy to follow this line.
00:42Because after knight a5, I played bishop e2.
00:46It's something that looks odd.
00:50Because typically, white sacrifices pawn to build a center.
00:53So that's why you don't want to remove your bishop or your bishop to d3.
00:57But I removed my bishop to e2, just having something else in mind.
01:00It's not about creating a center.
01:02It's more about playing for development.
01:07Black pieces are slightly discoordinated.
01:10And after Vichy took on d4, I took with a queen on d4.
01:13Creating a threat.
01:17Quite an elementary threat.
01:18But it's not that easy to defend this pawn without giving quite some extra opportunities.
01:25By the way, later on, many switched to d6.
01:28Sacrificing the pawn back.
01:30Queen a4, c6.
01:32And then white could win the pawn.
01:33And positions from the raffle even.
01:35Which is also one of the ways to counter any gambit.
01:40You accept the pawn.
01:42Accept the sacrifice.
01:44But then you can look for a good moment to return it.
01:47To return the material.
01:49And just to build solid position.
01:51But Vichy saw no reasons to give it back.
01:54Give it back now.
01:55So I just took on d4.
01:56I took with a queen.
01:57Now, what do you think?
