Hi there.

00:02.970 --> 00:07.020
In this lecture, say you are playing with the white pieces, it's your turn to move.

00:07.980 --> 00:12.430
What would you take care if I give you five cents for the video?

00:12.960 --> 00:14.940
So have a look at that table of values.

00:15.900 --> 00:20.340
We've got essentially a rook here, a bishop here as the two major options.

00:20.920 --> 00:22.140
So which one would you take?

00:27.160 --> 00:36.100
OK, just from the established levels of material, the material points here, you should be taking

00:36.100 --> 00:40.600
in general the maximum points, so you should be taking the rook.

00:41.530 --> 00:44.290
So Knight takes Rook would be the better choice.

00:44.500 --> 00:44.890
Yeah.

00:45.430 --> 00:50.710
And also damaging the opponent's pool structure, which is another aspect of the possession.

00:50.710 --> 00:52.230
But you're doing so in both cases.

00:52.240 --> 00:56.040
In fact, if you took the bishop, you're also damaging the opponent's Putin's Russia.

00:56.560 --> 01:01.330
But we haven't won as much material are taking the rug.

01:01.810 --> 01:04.470
The rug is worth more generally.

01:05.740 --> 01:07.150
So the rook is worth five.

01:07.810 --> 01:09.550
The bishop is worth three point five.

01:09.610 --> 01:12.370
So we just generally take the rug.

01:14.260 --> 01:15.790
OK, so I hope you got that.

01:17.800 --> 01:21.090
Take the rook, take the higher value piece in general.

01:22.900 --> 01:24.550
OK, that's a much.
