 Hello Hussain, today you've got a draw with Yavanka Huska, it's quite a tough game, tell us something about it. Quite long game unfortunately, you know my strategy was, as I told my colleagues in the team, that I will be the most boring player in the whole team. I'll just play boring chess, solid and I will live the victories for the others. I was trying to play all the walls, like Berlin Wall, China Wall, whatever wall I play. And Spain Wall, all those walls. Yeah, and today I thought okay it's time to score some points and I spent my whole evening and this morning preparing for Yavanka, some Queen Gambits and the London system but unfortunately nothing of that happened and she surprised me with the first move. So all the preparations go down to the window. It happens in chess, okay let's have a look at the game. Okay Hussain, your opponent surprised you with her first move, what was it about? I used to play Bishop g4 systems against this line, the Reti, but recently I saw an interesting idea, it was played by a few good players which I used in this game, I thought okay let's give it a try, knight d7, basically the idea I just want to get my solid setup as always, knight to b6, bishop to f5 after d4. And that's of course I want to play e5 here, if white plays bishop g2 it will be a different type of position after e5 and Yavanka chose to go d4. After d4 I got my setup which starts with knight b6 and yeah now the bishop is coming to f5 and the pawn to e6, c6 and yeah black will, black is having very easy game I guess as I see it and I quite like this idea for black and it showed yeah and the game I mean she wasn't sure what to do and I got very decent position out of the opening. Here after a4 always a5 and this knight on b6 is really annoying, stopping a lot of you know white you know breaks in the center so he's not so stupid on b6 so far. Yeah it's a very unusual position, yeah that's what I like about this idea that it's kind of new you know setup and it has some interesting ideas so I was happy to play this today. And then Yavanka played b3, I thought she's planning to you know put the bishop on a3 to make e6 difficult because I want to play put bishop on a5 and I was like okay the bishop is coming to a3 and it's not easy to make e6 anymore so I had to give it a thought but she changed her mind after bishop a5 she she didn't play bishop a3 anyway she decided to put the bishop on b2 I guess yeah but not yet so I don't play this move first yeah here just the standard moves she chose to to fiancate to all the bishops and then there's an h6 move yeah h6 is very important to get the bishop back yeah yeah to f6 castles, b7, knight e5, castles, castles, I mean here it's quite difficult what to do for white against this solid setup I mean c4 I will not react and e4 very hard to realize and black have some ideas black have some ideas c6 knight comes back to d7 and then maybe b5 so for me it's easy to play but white has to find a good plan especially after a4 a5 whenever you push c4 this square becomes so weak yeah sorry that's okay so it's it's it's not easy white is hesitating and where to go to go e4 to go c4 not so easy to say yeah c1 I will just yeah c6 c6 and I got my setup finally and yeah she spent she burned a lot of time thinking what to do here but in the end she went c4 and now here I spent some time to find something original and I think I came out with an interesting idea to be it yeah very weird move of course but it has a small idea that I want to remind white about the square this is the the price of a4 a5 in the beginning now you play c4 okay I will try to use that and yeah white is not so easy to do probably the knight is coming in few moves but hard to say what white can do okay so she tried knight f4 and the knight continue and it's journey to e4 okay f3 is trying to get e4 I guess might be four and then she gets this e4 and I was actually very happy that she was overextending here because I think this center is a liability here for white rather than you know going for it I mean after a simple move bishop h7 just not react I have some useful moves coming up and again you played bf3 and you blocked your own bishop and all my pieces are happy pieces where I don't have bad pieces so far and here I found a quite interesting idea rook e8 with bishop f8 my plan is to prepare c5 at some point if white doesn't do anything I have a plan like rook c8 and c5 like prepare the break and once I do my own break it will be tough for white yeah so here he she decided to change this knight but now yes you get rid of the knight but another piece comes to before okay and now the pressure is again on e4 yeah you're reminding her about a4 yeah back when she played a4 sure yeah okay so easy for black rook f1 and here was I think the critical moment in the middle game where I burned all my time calculating e5 quite interesting move okay very sharp and yeah I had to really assess this move carefully because if it works it works if it doesn't work it doesn't work so the basic idea was if white takes the pawn my idea was simply to take here 3 minute move of course if you trade the I guess it's over because simply I'm attacking the knight on d2 and it's tough for white so you need to move the queen somewhere but I thought I will simply take and if the knight takes I'll just move the queen and the pawn on e5 is quite weak that's what I thought yeah but then I started to think again can we go back to this to here yes after e5 she can start with cd5 cd5 and now take which is more logical not logical and now of course again queen e2 and now it's quite not the same you know all white pieces are working and all the rooks all the rooks are in the game so yeah I had to reject this line and but it took me so much time to calculate this line and then in the end I said okay I said okay let's go slow it's too exciting play for the squares too exciting take it easy yeah calm down calm down yeah all the pieces are great and let's see what she will do the next move yeah because I have still my ideas to bring the rooks to d8 and take queen e4 at some point yeah so queen e3 and here I think I found I found a quite interesting idea not sure how much is interesting but takes yeah the thing is if she takes by the pawn I have always this e5 break because if you take knight g4 it's positionally over you have to push d5 and then I will play on the dark squares you know the knight will come to c5 it's quite pleasant for black I guess yeah not much but it's nice yeah it's nice so um so we go back to queen e7 sorry you was down here three takes she took by knight and here I think I didn't make the right decision I'm not sure I I took with the bishop but maybe again rook d8 maybe was right more patient move just to bring all the guys and yeah well I I found I thought this position after takes e5 I thought I have good chances you know to to play against this bad bishop on g2 but turn out that white has some counterplay after d5 yeah it's happened in the game and you got your yeah I asked the queen question I mean runs away bishop a3 yeah I thought okay to make this plan work I mean bishop e4 to justify it I need to trade the bishops but it turned out it's not a great idea otherwise it will be a position of masterpiece but you know it's gonna quite didn't work because of c5 here yeah cut across your plan yeah and I had some issues in my calculation here yeah yeah I I thought that as it happened in the game takes takes e4 queen c3 yeah I just totally missed bishop h3 how I have no clue I just played rook c8 I saw bishop h3 and here already I am in big trouble yeah yeah in big trouble somehow by miracle I managed to not to lose immediately and to escape to a very yeah unpleasant end game yeah very unpleasant end game yeah you can just jump anywhere in the middle game and the end game yeah it was it was very tough end game without time you know it's hard to protect but yeah somehow I managed to save the day well done yeah maybe I shouldn't think about you know scoring points yeah let's let's continue to play boring chess and then we'll see okay when the right time will come it will come and see yeah thank you for your boring game yeah thank you so much
