Hi there.

00:02.160 --> 00:05.640
In this lecture, we can have a gentle introduction to counseling.

00:06.060 --> 00:09.630
Now, here is a fictional situation where.

00:11.640 --> 00:18.750
Say you have the white pieces, you can actually cancel your king, so castling is moving the king two

00:18.750 --> 00:21.690
squares to either the left or the right.

00:22.560 --> 00:31.200
So here say we cancel on the queen side and we call it the queen side because this side of the board

00:32.700 --> 00:34.940
is where our queen is.

00:35.340 --> 00:36.960
So we call this the queen side.

00:38.380 --> 00:44.360
And here is where our king is and costing on the king's side as this side of the board.

00:44.610 --> 00:51.480
So it's like we're sliced the sides of the board queen side, king's side so we can have the castle

00:51.480 --> 00:53.020
on the queen side, all the king's side.

00:53.460 --> 00:56.490
There are various rules for counseling, I'm afraid.

00:56.790 --> 01:00.930
But once you know the rules, the magic of chess is worth it.

01:01.500 --> 01:11.670
So we can in this fictional situation, castle queen side or we can Castle King side now say we Castle

01:12.270 --> 01:13.080
Queen side.

01:13.260 --> 01:18.480
Do you think the opponent's king can castle queen side, yes or no.

01:18.510 --> 01:19.550
Think about that for a moment.

01:19.920 --> 01:22.400
Do you think the opponents can king castle, queen side.

01:23.130 --> 01:24.270
Is that a legal move?

01:26.650 --> 01:29.840
OK, it's actually not because the king will be passing through check.

01:30.100 --> 01:30.660
Look at that.

01:30.880 --> 01:34.660
If the king tried to do that, it would be passing through check.

01:34.930 --> 01:35.860
That's a no no.

01:35.890 --> 01:38.260
You can't cancel fruitcake.

01:39.070 --> 01:45.730
You can't cause on the side, though, and I'm going to show you a special.

01:48.160 --> 01:57.100
Exception, which you might find intriguing in the next lecture about the counseling rules, but for

01:57.100 --> 02:03.520
the moment, just bear in mind you can also Queensland in general or Kingside now say why we moved here

02:03.520 --> 02:05.910
than Black would be able to counsel coincide.

02:06.700 --> 02:09.250
There's nothing stopping that as a legal move or kingside.

02:09.670 --> 02:15.190
So you either counsel Queensland side or Kingside, let's say you're playing with the black says.

02:18.230 --> 02:23.900
So your insight here cause coincides relative to you playing with black pieces as this side of the boat.

02:25.160 --> 02:31.220
So your queen side is here because it's your queen is there.

02:31.730 --> 02:34.670
And that's kind of implies that's your queen side.

02:34.670 --> 02:36.080
And here is your king side.

02:38.840 --> 02:45.530
Generally, I would say generally people tend to counsel Kingside, there's less surface area of attack,

02:45.530 --> 02:52.460
it's usually safe to counsel on the Kingside usually, but chances again very depends on the specific

02:52.460 --> 02:54.110
situation on the board.

02:56.390 --> 02:56.870
Now.

02:57.780 --> 03:05.700
We're going to extend some of the rules for when you can't or can't counsel in the following lectures,

03:05.700 --> 03:09.720
but I hope you've got the general just from this one about casting.

03:10.380 --> 03:13.260
Generally, you can choose the consequent side.

03:14.290 --> 03:15.100
Or Kingside.

03:15.700 --> 03:17.500
OK, and so much.
