Hi there.

00:02.250 --> 00:07.460
In this election, we're going to look at another key way of winning a chess game.

00:07.830 --> 00:14.790
Sometimes when you play a move which is so great, the opponent realizes that they're really lost and

00:15.150 --> 00:18.630
they resign here in this particular game.

00:19.440 --> 00:23.860
Play with the black pieces, played 94 check and the opponent resigns.

00:24.420 --> 00:31.020
Now, to actually rejoin the opponent could have just nodded their heads and just offered their hand

00:31.680 --> 00:32.560
to shake hands.

00:33.870 --> 00:35.800
That's very different from them offering a draw.

00:35.820 --> 00:36.360
By the way.

00:36.750 --> 00:41.040
If they're offering a draw, they would say, I offer you a draw and it's up to you to accept or decline

00:41.040 --> 00:41.840
the draw offer.

00:42.630 --> 00:43.590
That's very, very different.

00:44.040 --> 00:50.640
If they offer their hands and they haven't said anything, usually implies that they are resigning.

00:53.580 --> 00:57.630
They can sometimes say I resign as well.

00:59.340 --> 01:00.180
That's another way.

01:01.170 --> 01:04.940
Or they can sometimes just knock over that king.

01:05.460 --> 01:07.730
That's another way to signify resigning.

01:08.100 --> 01:10.200
So here, why did resign?

01:10.200 --> 01:11.350
And you might be wondering why.

01:11.370 --> 01:14.190
Well, the king and queen of fault.

01:15.870 --> 01:21.890
And if White took her potentates, we can actually end the game in a different way via chat.

01:21.960 --> 01:28.230
I hope you can see how if you look at the common square between the queen and Rook, they've got a common

01:28.230 --> 01:28.550
square.

01:28.650 --> 01:36.210
And chess is often about telecom and squares gaining access to squares, sometimes with support of more

01:36.210 --> 01:37.890
than one of your pieces as a team.

01:38.400 --> 01:43.340
So you could actually chat right here with Brooke H one chag or queen one.

01:45.120 --> 01:49.320
But in this example, why actually just resigned?

01:49.320 --> 01:57.240
So they may have just, you know, off the handshake to resign and if it's in a tournament.

01:59.030 --> 02:00.350
When someone resigns.

02:02.440 --> 02:08.440
You know, they offer that scoresheet, they sign that sort of scoresheet and offer it to you and it's

02:08.440 --> 02:12.820
more official, the scoresheet so sort of given to assume control controller, that's a different thing.

02:12.820 --> 02:14.730
You might not even play instruments for quite a while.

02:15.250 --> 02:24.550
But anyway, in general, if games are not won by Chapei, in general, resigning is a very, very common

02:24.550 --> 02:25.540
way of winning a game.

02:25.540 --> 02:28.150
You play moves so great that the opponent just resigns.

02:29.530 --> 02:34.400
And I hope you play such great moves to cause opponents to resign.

02:34.870 --> 02:36.790
OK, that's so much.
