00:00.990 --> 00:06.600
Why they're in this election, I want to show you an interesting example of the so-called discovered

00:06.780 --> 00:07.370
check.

00:07.800 --> 00:12.870
So here, how do you think we can check the opponent's king?

00:15.750 --> 00:22.500
Well, in fact, we could move a piece which doesn't directly change the opponents king, but indirectly

00:22.500 --> 00:29.760
we can move this rook and wherever we move this rook, it's a check.

00:30.600 --> 00:32.650
And I hope you can see why.

00:34.770 --> 00:41.490
So in my more advanced course of the complete go into tactics, which you might want to check how I

00:41.490 --> 00:50.100
cover all sorts of tactical ideas, but I always say there's three golden rules when looking at chess

00:50.100 --> 00:53.970
positions for each of you have to look at the weakness of the last move.

00:55.780 --> 01:03.130
The common squares that your pieces creates and the discovery effects around the board and here is a

01:03.130 --> 01:10.510
discovery check example, there is a discovery that this bishop is now checking the opponent's king

01:11.650 --> 01:15.430
and we can choose the most advantageous way of doing this.

01:15.430 --> 01:20.640
Like here it would be check if we move the rook here, we can see it's check.

01:21.490 --> 01:28.390
So this makes chess even more exciting that your opponent might sometimes be confused by these moves

01:28.390 --> 01:29.650
and thinking, well, am I in check?

01:29.650 --> 01:30.310
My mind check?

01:30.310 --> 01:34.840
Because they look at just your last move, but they don't look at the whole position.

01:35.380 --> 01:37.690
So in chess, you really need to look at the whole position.

01:37.690 --> 01:44.830
When it's your turn, it's you don't you can't just look at where the opponent's piece just moved to

01:44.830 --> 01:45.970
see all the dangers.

01:45.970 --> 01:52.000
Sometimes there's discovered attacks on things and it might not be your king, it might be your queen.

01:52.630 --> 01:54.100
So here it is.

01:54.100 --> 02:00.610
Check and the most valuable thing you can do, the best move, in my view here, is to take off this

02:00.610 --> 02:01.180
knight.

02:01.360 --> 02:02.560
Yes, you're allowed to do this.

02:02.830 --> 02:10.240
So you've not only taken off an opponent's piece, they have to oblige to handle this check.

02:10.240 --> 02:17.020
So you're having a really fun time here, because if they move the king now, we can take the rook.

02:17.710 --> 02:19.570
Isn't that absolutely amazing?

02:20.320 --> 02:21.250
Discovered checks.

02:23.260 --> 02:27.850
It's called like the dive bomber of the chess board.

02:27.850 --> 02:31.510
It's a very, very exciting tactical tool disposal.

02:32.860 --> 02:42.190
So, you know, discovery checks, they're very, very powerful and often decisive in most games, especially

02:42.190 --> 02:47.680
so discover Checks is discovering a check against the opponent's king.

02:48.010 --> 02:54.820
So it means just remember that you should really be looking at the whole board, not just where your

02:54.820 --> 03:00.040
opponent's last move is, OK, and so much.
