WEBVTT 00:01.250 --> 00:06.650 Either in this like, shall we revisit those relative value of the pieces that we talked about earlier 00:06.650 --> 00:10.450 on in the course where we actually mention that a pawn is just one one? 00:11.330 --> 00:17.470 Well, in that case, is black winning because a rookie is one, five is black winning here? 00:17.900 --> 00:20.240 Let's assume the race won't play a move. 00:20.600 --> 00:27.620 Now, based on what we know about the special abilities of the pieces and pawns, you might discover 00:28.010 --> 00:30.690 a reversal of values here. 00:31.250 --> 00:37.610 So in this position, who do you think's winning white or black, if it's white to move? 00:42.890 --> 00:49.910 OK, it turns out well, because pawns can queen that special ability that we talked about when we got 00:49.910 --> 00:53.540 to know the peace more, it makes them very, very dangerous to pawns. 00:53.540 --> 00:59.990 On the sixth rank, there's even a famous chess quotation to connected passports on six rank are worth 00:59.990 --> 01:01.020 their weight in gold. 01:01.520 --> 01:03.300 So this is a classic example. 01:03.860 --> 01:07.820 So here we can actually try and queen one of the pawns. 01:07.820 --> 01:12.280 First thing to queen the rook can go behind that pawn to try and stop it. 01:13.250 --> 01:16.670 But there's a move here which actually just wins in this particular possession. 01:17.720 --> 01:21.590 Can you see what that is if I give you five seconds to pull the video? 01:24.380 --> 01:25.490 How does one win this? 01:31.680 --> 01:38.640 OK, be seven, this is we'll talk about rotation soon, but be seven for the moment is like --'s 01:38.640 --> 01:48.370 B seven, you just say be seven and now Sadef rooked tanks --. 01:48.420 --> 01:49.410 Then we just queen. 01:49.410 --> 01:54.810 We turn into a queen check and then we're taking that rock and we're queen up. 01:55.650 --> 01:58.830 So, yeah, the initial possession, it looks as though we've only got two units. 01:59.040 --> 02:01.650 That's why that should only be taken with a pinch of salt. 02:01.660 --> 02:04.320 It's not on your exact position. 02:04.320 --> 02:10.020 It's that guide to the relative value of the pieces where we said a pawn is worth one, rook is worth 02:10.020 --> 02:11.610 five and is worth three. 02:11.610 --> 02:13.590 A bishop is worth four and a half. 02:14.130 --> 02:18.120 The King's infinite is only based on the peace mobility. 02:18.120 --> 02:21.060 If they're stuck in the center of the board, you might want to hold on. 02:21.060 --> 02:22.280 Hold on a second question. 02:22.290 --> 02:24.170 What about these checks back? 02:24.210 --> 02:25.470 Keep checking perpetual check. 02:25.770 --> 02:29.580 The king can walk over here in this case and stop any perpetual check. 02:30.090 --> 02:31.650 Then went back to this situation. 02:31.920 --> 02:37.800 We play this and then, OK, there's one or two more checks, but then here there's no more checks from 02:37.920 --> 02:39.120 the rook being captured. 02:40.200 --> 02:40.920 You know, check here. 02:40.920 --> 02:42.960 We're just going to we're going to take that route. 02:43.710 --> 02:47.130 So we're back to that situation where we're winning. 02:48.030 --> 02:54.360 So this is just one example of millions which make the game of chess very beautiful and dynamic and 02:54.360 --> 02:58.470 unfortunately not as clear cut as, say, watching a European football match where you know what the 02:58.470 --> 02:59.070 score is. 02:59.490 --> 03:02.370 You can't just count the pieces and know what the score is on the chessboard. 03:02.370 --> 03:05.790 You have to treat each possession on its own merits. 03:06.660 --> 03:11.130 But that also makes the game very powerfully attractive and interesting. 03:13.370 --> 03:19.280 So just bear that in mind, the value of the pieces really depends on the position you're in. 03:20.870 --> 03:22.590 So this is just one example of that. 03:23.110 --> 03:23.660 OK. 03:24.510 --> 03:25.140 That's a much.
