WEBVTT 00:01.050 --> 00:05.660 Hi, they're in this lecture, say you're playing white. 00:05.700 --> 00:07.030 It's your turn to move. 00:07.650 --> 00:10.640 What would you play in this position in terms of capturing? 00:11.040 --> 00:15.480 There are a couple of things to capture, at least. 00:15.480 --> 00:18.990 In fact, there are multiple captures in this position to consider. 00:20.310 --> 00:25.610 You could consider 1965 wrote AIDS. 00:25.740 --> 00:30.360 Bishop of seven, queen of seven, queen takes a seven. 00:32.160 --> 00:38.100 So what would be the wisest capture available to you in this position? 00:38.400 --> 00:44.820 And have a look at that point system we have to factor in recapturing when the opponent recaptures. 00:45.450 --> 00:50.610 So I hope you can pause the video here and work out what would be the absolute best capture in this 00:50.610 --> 00:51.120 position. 00:56.500 --> 01:04.660 OK, the absolute best capture would be to take the queen because the queen is worth nine units. 01:04.660 --> 01:08.770 And if we look, there's actually no reCAPTCHA there in check, actually, there would have to move 01:08.770 --> 01:09.400 their king. 01:09.730 --> 01:17.650 And we're in great shape here if we'd if we had played Bishop takes F7 Chank. 01:18.220 --> 01:19.270 Well, they can recapture. 01:19.270 --> 01:21.550 We have to look a little bit ahead to see the recapture. 01:22.810 --> 01:27.550 So we haven't actually gained that much compared to the previous position. 01:28.570 --> 01:34.110 We gained just one unit perform and we lost the Bishop three point five. 01:35.200 --> 01:37.030 So overall we made a loss there. 01:40.450 --> 01:49.210 If we had played 1995, in fact, aurochs hanging a piece is hanging. 01:49.210 --> 01:51.390 It means it can be taken or Rook is hanging. 01:51.820 --> 01:56.640 So we'd actually be losing a whole rook five. 01:57.280 --> 01:58.690 That's not a good idea generally. 02:02.720 --> 02:08.840 If we talk here, this is one of the worst we you know, we're giving the option for the opponents to 02:08.840 --> 02:11.360 take a drag queen or rock. 02:13.750 --> 02:15.130 So that's not so good either. 02:15.400 --> 02:16.910 It's not as good as the others anyway. 02:18.220 --> 02:20.030 It's not as good as taking the Queen Mother. 02:20.710 --> 02:29.020 So if you look at this position, look at those points, values generally you want to win material. 02:29.650 --> 02:33.530 Material was one of the most important elements of the position. 02:34.660 --> 02:37.410 There are other elements of the position to consider. 02:37.420 --> 02:44.470 It's not just material, but in your initial like learning about chess, it's important to be able to 02:44.470 --> 02:49.330 keep track of material balance in a position as a high priority. 02:51.670 --> 03:00.670 So have Rook takes eight was the right capture from that point system we introduced to that point system 03:02.350 --> 03:03.820 and we say the king's infinite. 03:03.820 --> 03:08.050 If you're going to checkmate opponents king sometimes, then you can even give up material, as we'll 03:08.050 --> 03:09.340 find out later in the course. 03:09.910 --> 03:16.330 So, yeah, I hope you've considered the captures in the recaptures and basically there's a hanging 03:16.330 --> 03:17.440 queen in its position. 03:17.440 --> 03:21.700 If you identify hanging piece in particular and it's Wacek, so that's a bonus. 03:22.300 --> 03:23.710 So yeah, it rotates queen here. 03:24.220 --> 03:24.780 OK. 03:25.210 --> 03:25.850 Have you got that. 03:26.950 --> 03:27.550 That's much.
