WEBVTT 00:01.500 --> 00:09.030 Either in this country, we're going to talk about the --'s and how they move forward, we're going 00:09.030 --> 00:14.040 to talk about how they capture in a separate lecture, I like to keep things separate in this course. 00:14.520 --> 00:21.330 So this is just how pawns move forward when pawns are in their initial position. 00:21.330 --> 00:26.640 That second row or if you're playing black, it won't be a number to that. 00:28.590 --> 00:32.130 Number seven is your second row when the pawns are in a default position. 00:35.110 --> 00:38.140 You have the option of either moving a pawn one square. 00:42.370 --> 00:45.390 Like that, or you could move a pawn two squares. 00:48.130 --> 00:53.290 So so you move a pawn to squash, the opponent has an option of moving a pawn, one square, for example, 00:53.290 --> 00:57.040 like that or like that or two squares. 00:58.690 --> 01:00.580 So this is how they move forward. 01:00.730 --> 01:02.280 I'm not going into capturers just yet. 01:02.290 --> 01:04.980 So say here, here. 01:05.080 --> 01:12.610 Now, when the pawn is not in the default position, you lose that supercharging superhero facility. 01:13.420 --> 01:14.260 You lose that. 01:14.260 --> 01:15.760 You can only, unfortunately, move. 01:16.690 --> 01:20.610 Unfortunately, it depends on how you look at that move one square now. 01:21.130 --> 01:22.960 So, for example, hand just one square. 01:24.820 --> 01:26.320 This poll can with one square, 01:29.530 --> 01:30.220 one square. 01:30.850 --> 01:37.750 So it's only on that when there in the initial row they can actually move two squares. 01:38.290 --> 01:42.310 And in general, by the way, when you start off the game, you should really be playing this move or 01:42.310 --> 01:42.790 this move. 01:43.000 --> 01:45.940 A pawn in the center is the most recommend. 01:46.270 --> 01:49.120 This this is the most recommendable start moving pawn. 01:49.630 --> 01:54.040 So generally you want to move on two squares and you'll notice it kind of opens up the pieces, which 01:54.040 --> 01:55.410 we're going to illustrate later. 01:55.410 --> 01:57.550 It opens up the bishop, opens up the queen. 01:59.620 --> 02:04.300 So generally pawns, they move forward and they get obstructed. 02:04.780 --> 02:12.340 There are unlike the other pieces, pawns actually can be blockaded or obstructed. 02:13.370 --> 02:23.290 So that's a special kind of feature, really, just to demonstrate that if is sex, I'm not using the 02:23.290 --> 02:25.270 notation E for ESX. 02:25.270 --> 02:27.130 You see that --'s only says it's a notation. 02:27.880 --> 02:31.840 So we go E 535, the pawn is obstructed. 02:31.840 --> 02:36.520 Now, you know, we can't really we can't take that pawn in front. 02:36.520 --> 02:39.880 We're actually blocked in by that pawn restraints. 02:39.880 --> 02:44.860 This pawn is restrained, so. 02:46.890 --> 02:49.050 Let's, you know, carry this on, OK? 02:49.110 --> 02:51.030 This is how the night moves in l shape. 02:51.040 --> 02:52.830 Okay, let's not carry on. 02:52.830 --> 02:54.660 Let's just have a look at another example. 02:56.870 --> 03:00.110 So here, here, here, here. 03:00.140 --> 03:07.190 Let's just go like this, like this, and no longer we can move that point forward and no longer this 03:07.190 --> 03:08.620 point can move forward either. 03:09.410 --> 03:19.360 If we do a move like an open move, this point can't move forward, nor can this both pawns can do captures 03:19.370 --> 03:20.030 by this point. 03:20.660 --> 03:25.550 I mean, this pawn can be captured, though, but we're going to look at that in a separate video for 03:25.550 --> 03:25.840 the moment. 03:25.850 --> 03:32.840 Just just take note that in the initial possession of the pawns, they can actually they've got a superhero 03:32.840 --> 03:34.490 status in their initial positions. 03:34.490 --> 03:38.570 They can actually move two squares, two squares. 03:39.510 --> 03:44.920 But, you know, after that they lose that superhero status can only move one square, one square, 03:44.930 --> 03:46.570 and also they can be obstructed. 03:46.640 --> 03:49.820 That pawn can't move now, can't move because it's obstructed. 03:51.260 --> 03:52.510 So just bear that in mind. 03:52.650 --> 03:58.130 This is how pawns in general move forward until they are obstructed. 04:00.360 --> 04:05.770 So let's just reinforce again, OK? 04:07.020 --> 04:11.300 So if we play this, this, we can't go there, it's obstructed. 04:12.810 --> 04:17.040 We could move with all the --, they could move without --. 04:18.600 --> 04:19.800 We can move forward here. 04:19.810 --> 04:23.580 But if they move here, we can't move forward. 04:23.580 --> 04:24.410 We're obstructed. 04:24.750 --> 04:27.240 So just bear that in mind for this particular election. 04:27.870 --> 04:34.140 So just to recap, in summary, so I'm trying to keep these very separate, you know, videos. 04:34.740 --> 04:42.360 What we're looking at here is how pawns in general move forward until they are blocked or obstructed 04:42.870 --> 04:44.280 and then they can't move forward. 04:45.120 --> 04:51.170 OK, now we'll take the other angles, one angle, our time in separate video. 04:51.180 --> 04:51.840 So bear with me. 04:51.840 --> 04:53.010 I hope this is good. 04:53.520 --> 04:55.440 And we can have a specific quiz on this. 04:55.740 --> 05:00.360 So it's nice to keep things clean and separate and then bring everything all together like nice jigsaw 05:00.360 --> 05:00.890 at the end. 05:01.260 --> 05:10.290 So for this moment and it's lecture pawns move forward until they're obstructed and in a special case 05:11.340 --> 05:16.980 of their staro, they can actually move to squares as well as the one square as an option only in that 05:16.980 --> 05:18.840 special case in their start. 05:18.840 --> 05:19.080 Right. 05:19.470 --> 05:21.450 OK, thanks so much.
