WEBVTT 00:00.760 --> 00:06.720 Hi there in this texture, I want to give you a gentle introduction to -- promotion so you'll notice 00:06.720 --> 00:10.280 that I've simplified the board position. 00:11.700 --> 00:14.670 Let's imagine as this board position which can be reached. 00:17.170 --> 00:23.500 Potentially in the chess game, if you're playing whites, you've got an advantage here, actually, 00:23.500 --> 00:32.700 because you're going to step forward and now say they moved their ball forward. 00:33.160 --> 00:33.790 You know what? 00:33.790 --> 00:37.250 You can actually promote your poem when your poem gets the egg, Frank. 00:37.270 --> 00:38.910 Something really magical happens. 00:39.430 --> 00:45.370 You can choose to promote and usually it want to promote to a queen, but you can actually promote to 00:45.370 --> 00:48.010 a rock or a bishop or a knight. 00:48.010 --> 00:49.900 But usually you want to point to a queen. 00:49.910 --> 00:50.980 There are special cases. 00:51.790 --> 00:53.980 It all depends in chess on the absolute best. 00:54.190 --> 01:01.240 Sometimes what seems to be ridiculous really works in your specific position, but usually in general 01:01.240 --> 01:03.910 you want to promote to a queen and hand. 01:03.910 --> 01:08.560 This would actually because as queen now, it would actually be the king would be in check actually 01:08.560 --> 01:09.310 from that queen. 01:09.790 --> 01:12.200 And, you know, the queen is worth more than a pawn. 01:12.220 --> 01:16.990 So this is a really exciting aspect of pawns in general. 01:17.530 --> 01:18.520 So let's see that again. 01:18.520 --> 01:28.330 When the pawn goes the eight franc, you can choose, you know, to promote to a queen and you need 01:28.330 --> 01:29.980 to watch out for the opponent as well. 01:30.520 --> 01:34.960 So say, you know, you move here and they move here and you didn't move your pawn. 01:35.860 --> 01:37.540 They can move votes to a queen. 01:37.840 --> 01:40.970 Yeah, they have the same rights to Remote's Requena. 01:41.380 --> 01:43.960 So, yeah, you've got to be careful 01:46.600 --> 01:50.680 and you got to take the opportunity when you're promoting and you're going to try and stop the opponents 01:50.680 --> 01:50.900 pawns. 01:50.920 --> 01:53.740 So this is a kind of game within a game of chess. 01:53.740 --> 01:56.590 You know, the management of pawns. 01:57.190 --> 02:07.660 And these pawns, by the way, are generally called past pawns, past Assadi, past pawns, not pastie 02:08.440 --> 02:08.890 pawns. 02:09.820 --> 02:15.220 So, yeah, pawns when they reach the eight, Frank, you can actually turn them into a queen. 02:15.220 --> 02:16.000 It's really amazing. 02:16.000 --> 02:18.040 Is that OK? 02:18.040 --> 02:21.880 So I hope that's a little gentle introduction to this idea. 02:22.270 --> 02:29.740 So the Poles are actually they've got a more exciting life than you ever thought possible. 02:29.980 --> 02:35.710 Yeah, they are really kind of kind of exciting and can win you games, especially in games. 02:36.160 --> 02:43.150 So anyway, I hope that's clear enough pawns when they reach the eighth rank you can promote to a queen. 02:43.630 --> 02:52.750 Now, by the way, if you're playing in real life chess, the rules of chess generally change, you 02:52.750 --> 02:58.090 know, sometimes, and you should really get you must get really a queen. 02:58.300 --> 03:05.140 If you want a queen, you must get a queen from out of the sets or hopefully to Queens providers start 03:05.140 --> 03:05.490 the game. 03:05.640 --> 03:09.730 Maybe there's another promotion later, but you must always promote to a queen. 03:11.140 --> 03:11.500 Yeah. 03:11.500 --> 03:12.940 So you got your normal queen. 03:13.780 --> 03:15.630 They have with you, of course, certain. 03:15.940 --> 03:19.870 And quite often in the new sets, you get another queen as well for pawn promotions. 03:20.290 --> 03:25.510 If you use an upside down rook, which used to be the case, you could get in severe trouble. 03:26.080 --> 03:27.220 It's like an illegal move. 03:27.220 --> 03:28.610 So try and get you. 03:28.960 --> 03:33.070 I recommend you get a queen if necessary. 03:33.070 --> 03:34.390 Stop the clocks. 03:34.720 --> 03:35.540 Almost the opposite. 03:35.710 --> 03:36.580 I need a queen. 03:37.150 --> 03:38.020 You don't have to do that. 03:38.020 --> 03:38.890 Get a queen. 03:39.880 --> 03:40.210 Yeah. 03:40.210 --> 03:42.070 So if this is not online. 03:42.430 --> 03:42.790 Yeah. 03:45.100 --> 03:49.790 If this is not on an online game, then you have to get a queen. 03:49.810 --> 03:56.760 Now, some online sites, by the way, you might have to do something special to choose something different. 03:58.930 --> 04:05.160 So you might have to press the control button sometimes and then choose if you want to promote, to 04:05.170 --> 04:11.290 anoint on this particular software here, online software I'm choosing. 04:11.500 --> 04:13.270 And it's giving me that pop up. 04:14.140 --> 04:19.570 I can press council here and it's not most amazing, but it does the job, you know, of letting you 04:19.570 --> 04:20.890 choose that promotion. 04:22.030 --> 04:28.090 But yeah, you need to find out how to if you play chess online, you need to find out how to promote. 04:29.200 --> 04:32.430 Yeah, that's that's a interesting consideration as well. 04:32.860 --> 04:37.210 But usually you just want to queen, you want your point promote to a queen. 04:38.290 --> 04:44.140 So but if we're using a real world boards and peace designs. 04:44.140 --> 04:45.250 Thornton Yes. 04:46.570 --> 04:52.810 When you set up the ball correctly with a one button left home, you've done all that, got your stones 04:52.810 --> 04:54.610 and bought yourself bowled correctly. 04:54.940 --> 04:58.790 When the pawn reaches the end, you need ideally another queen. 04:59.170 --> 05:04.210 Now, if you only have one queen and you're playing casually, then yes, the old convention, you can 05:04.510 --> 05:07.090 maybe turn a book upside down or use something else. 05:07.120 --> 05:08.620 The Queen is the queen. 05:09.340 --> 05:12.190 But if you play more seriously, you really got to get a queen. 05:12.610 --> 05:12.970 Yeah. 05:13.540 --> 05:16.290 In a more professional kind of tournament, get a queen. 05:16.300 --> 05:17.360 Otherwise it's an illegal move. 05:17.620 --> 05:22.420 So anyway, pawn promotion, a few key things that you should know about. 05:22.480 --> 05:23.950 OK, that's how much.
