WEBVTT 00:01.080 --> 00:10.230 Hi there in this introduction next to more advanced Trappes, I just want to point out that even if 00:10.230 --> 00:15.660 you never get these traps in your games, it's good to be aware of these traps and the tactical mechanics 00:15.660 --> 00:19.110 of how they work, pick them apart, see how they work. 00:19.860 --> 00:25.290 My brother, for example, picked apart a lot of the electronics in my house when he was little kids 00:25.290 --> 00:29.100 and later got a masters in electronic engineering. 00:30.060 --> 00:35.250 If you take things apart, experiment how they work, you get a lot of insight, even things you're 00:35.250 --> 00:37.110 not even going to play. 00:37.110 --> 00:41.700 And some of these traps are well into games that require the opponent's place up most. 00:41.730 --> 00:42.480 You'll never get them. 00:42.630 --> 00:45.000 Some of them are sort of shorter into the game. 00:45.000 --> 00:51.870 For example, the car contract would you might want to try, you know, first time control involves 00:52.200 --> 00:55.610 you playing an early queeny to hear the mechanics. 00:55.950 --> 00:59.760 I'm just going to just go over from the mechanics point of view. 00:59.760 --> 01:06.990 Taking apart this trap is that we're kind of explain the king here and we see up to 95 cents. 01:06.990 --> 01:08.250 Can you see why it plays? 01:10.410 --> 01:12.540 OK, this is just as an example. 01:12.540 --> 01:13.980 Ninety-Six is checkmate. 01:13.990 --> 01:15.060 So we see the mechanics. 01:15.060 --> 01:18.810 It's actually a small maint as a pawn. 01:19.590 --> 01:22.290 There's a very powerful quote I use routinely in my games. 01:22.290 --> 01:26.910 The power of the pen piece or -- is illusionary when you have an absolute pen against the opponent's 01:26.910 --> 01:27.240 king. 01:27.660 --> 01:34.020 So you want to take apart as much as possible to get the most leverage from this section of the course. 01:34.020 --> 01:39.120 You want to see each trap and the fundamental tactical ingredients now. 01:40.780 --> 01:42.700 It's kind of an iterative. 01:44.620 --> 01:53.620 Approach in this course, because the actual ingredients we do cover the most important tactical resources 01:53.800 --> 02:00.220 later on in the course, and you could revisit this section later after seeing the ingredients like 02:00.220 --> 02:02.230 pins, for example, discussed. 02:03.610 --> 02:10.660 You know, this checks, folks, all of those tactical ingredients discussed later in the course. 02:10.930 --> 02:17.320 So it's almost as if we're seeing in this section stuff, which does have a number of tactical ingredients. 02:17.620 --> 02:21.730 And you'll get more detail about those kind of characters later. 02:22.030 --> 02:28.450 But you might want to revisit this section a number of times of going through like a hall pass through 02:28.450 --> 02:28.840 the course. 02:28.840 --> 02:31.510 You might revisit this one with great knowledge. 02:31.840 --> 02:36.460 It's like seeing, I guess, a film, you know, more than once. 02:36.970 --> 02:42.080 And then everything earlier in the film might make a lot more sense than the first time you saw it. 02:42.130 --> 02:48.910 It's the same with this course that this tactical trap session, it might be filled with really weird 02:48.910 --> 02:52.090 and wonderful stuff which never actually occurs in your games. 02:52.390 --> 02:58.570 But if you know the underlying mechanics, then you to be a much more successful player, especially 02:58.570 --> 02:59.950 from a tactical perspective. 03:00.100 --> 03:04.150 These are early disasters that can happen on a chessboard. 03:04.900 --> 03:10.170 This one also shows illustrates that the downside of Black's position, the king still in the center 03:10.540 --> 03:15.480 and you've got to be careful when your king is still in the center is a target and pieces are XtremIO 03:15.490 --> 03:15.730 king. 03:15.730 --> 03:22.030 So the mechanics, if you can understand the mechanics and maybe take a first pass through the course, 03:22.300 --> 03:23.950 then you'll get all the tactical ingredients. 03:24.130 --> 03:25.720 You revisit this section. 03:25.990 --> 03:30.010 From that point of view, I think you'll get a lot more out of this transaction. 03:30.220 --> 03:35.620 So you can even, you know, even in openings which you never actually even play, you might never want 03:35.620 --> 03:38.140 to play any of the Queen's Gambit traps, for example. 03:39.040 --> 03:42.370 So you might always want to start with EFO because you've heard from Bobby Fischer. 03:42.610 --> 03:45.370 E4 is the Best Buy test on your hands. 03:45.370 --> 03:49.360 You might want to just play defo because maybe you're a fan of Queen's Gambit in that place. 03:49.600 --> 03:55.930 So you might not want any of the EFORE traps, but they're still worth checking out to see those ingredients. 03:56.800 --> 04:03.340 Then having a look at the middle game tactics section and the course and revisit later is an iterative 04:03.340 --> 04:03.880 approach. 04:04.300 --> 04:11.740 I hope you do treat this course as a multi time, you know, watch to get the most out of each and every 04:11.740 --> 04:12.250 section. 04:13.300 --> 04:15.340 OK, that's how much.
