WEBVTT 00:01.200 --> 00:04.250 In this case, I just want to spell out something about chess. 00:04.470 --> 00:06.540 It's a single term game. 00:08.610 --> 00:14.570 I can tell you facts about chess, like it's a single singleton game and there's implications which 00:14.580 --> 00:20.550 you can actually derive from that, that means if you can play a move which seems to overwhelm the opponents 00:20.550 --> 00:25.230 with more than one frat's, even if they're aware of those facts, they might not be able to handle 00:25.230 --> 00:25.380 them. 00:25.380 --> 00:26.650 They've only got a single turn. 00:27.180 --> 00:32.310 Quite often the basis for successful tactics in chess are based on the notion of the double attack. 00:32.970 --> 00:36.300 The double attack or fork is one of the most important tactical weapons. 00:36.750 --> 00:38.520 Talk to any beginners on. 00:38.550 --> 00:44.490 If you look at tons and tons of beginner courses, they'll all list the basic tactics and the double 00:44.490 --> 00:44.790 attack. 00:44.790 --> 00:46.880 Wilfork is usually listed. 00:47.970 --> 00:49.950 It's a really, really fundamental tactic. 00:50.100 --> 00:56.340 I mean, there are other tactical devices, but the double attack is actually at the heart of many successful 00:56.340 --> 00:57.390 chess combinations. 00:57.900 --> 01:01.050 And it goes back to the fact that chess is a single term game. 01:01.470 --> 01:09.060 That means if you can overwhelm the opponents with a single move by you and you create multiple threats, 01:09.990 --> 01:15.480 unless they can do a single defensive move that can simultaneously defend those multiple threats, they're 01:15.480 --> 01:16.620 often in big trouble. 01:17.370 --> 01:22.440 Now, sometimes you don't give a fork is when you use a single piece to double attack, but you can 01:22.440 --> 01:26.100 get like the in effect clause of my three golden rules. 01:26.280 --> 01:32.660 So sometimes you move the pace, but it's not that piece directly which is even doing the multiple attacks. 01:32.670 --> 01:35.070 It could be the liberationist effects of your move. 01:36.000 --> 01:40.260 So wings of last move, Telecom's squares and the liberation or face. 01:40.590 --> 01:44.270 And that could be a side effect, that which creates overwhelming threat scenario. 01:44.790 --> 01:49.800 Chess is a single term game and you've just overwhelmed your opponents with a single move. 01:50.310 --> 01:55.980 Can you say in this position a move which could do that to the opponents and cause an immediate resignation? 01:56.250 --> 01:57.390 So glad to play here. 01:57.390 --> 02:02.910 You might want to pause the video and look in particular at the liberationist effects of those three 02:02.910 --> 02:04.710 golden rules, the in effect clause. 02:05.280 --> 02:09.240 So not just the move you've moved in the mind's eye, but look at the entire possession. 02:09.600 --> 02:12.390 That is a kind of essential thing of calculation. 02:14.190 --> 02:17.370 Don't be distracted by basically what you've just lost, moved. 02:17.490 --> 02:23.580 It can be a distraction in its own right to look at the wider implications of what you've just done, 02:24.270 --> 02:25.110 the in effect. 02:25.710 --> 02:30.540 So it comes from, you know, work placements I had once. 02:32.250 --> 02:34.380 I see how someone would say in effect all the time. 02:34.430 --> 02:40.020 It got me thinking, you know, things do have an effect, you know, unintended consequences sometimes 02:40.020 --> 02:40.500 in real life. 02:40.500 --> 02:40.650 Yeah. 02:41.160 --> 02:44.100 So it's not just what happened, but it's the unintended consequences. 02:44.520 --> 02:47.580 So but on the chessboard, yeah. 02:47.880 --> 02:52.740 You need to look out for this because sometimes these moves can be so useful to overwhelm the opponent 02:53.040 --> 02:53.600 in space. 02:53.610 --> 02:53.930 Yeah. 02:53.940 --> 02:54.900 Single turn game. 02:55.200 --> 03:00.270 So here is their move, which overwhelms the opponent because it creates more than one front. 03:02.090 --> 03:04.160 So if you prioritize your forcing most. 03:09.460 --> 03:11.260 So especially chacal checks. 03:13.950 --> 03:22.710 Checkable captures checkable frat's, especially significant frat's, major frat's are making one or 03:22.710 --> 03:25.410 two war ending France. 03:32.860 --> 03:33.340 OK. 03:33.370 --> 03:41.500 Hopefully you find that not after his ineffectual whinges displays Rook takes after you and you've given 03:41.500 --> 03:46.760 them an upside instead of a liberation of your bishop, you've just closed in your bishop. 03:48.700 --> 03:54.880 Yeah, this is a tragic fall into given this the students this doesn't just give them a little upside. 03:55.240 --> 03:56.170 You want to look for these. 03:57.070 --> 04:00.820 You know, you don't want to give them any micro upsides when you play forcing moves. 04:01.490 --> 04:02.500 That's a warning to you. 04:02.680 --> 04:04.630 There's another way of doing this. 04:04.630 --> 04:12.310 Maybe you want to unveil this night, but we can do so with tempo with 95. 04:12.310 --> 04:19.470 So it's with tempo because it's attacking the queen and we're still threatening Queen takes age as well. 04:19.990 --> 04:22.600 So what we've just done is overwhelm the opponents. 04:22.600 --> 04:24.700 We've tried to frat's for the price of one move. 04:25.120 --> 04:31.540 And this is how you win games in a more abstract sense, maybe not even chance of other single turn 04:31.540 --> 04:31.960 games. 04:32.230 --> 04:36.430 If you can do quite a lot with one move and they've only got a single turn to reply, they could be 04:36.430 --> 04:37.620 overwhelmed and that's it. 04:38.620 --> 04:43.270 So, yeah, the base is a lot of chess tactics and combinations is a double attack. 04:43.420 --> 04:47.560 The double attack doesn't even have to be from a single pace and in particular it could be from the 04:47.560 --> 04:49.210 discovery effects of the position. 04:49.780 --> 04:55.570 So here is the discovery effects of H3, which makes this so decisive was why didn't he do well? 04:55.600 --> 04:57.910 It has to resign as example. 04:57.910 --> 05:00.370 If offtakes, then Queen takes H3 in his chemie. 05:03.040 --> 05:05.290 If they handle that, then which just going to take their queen. 05:05.710 --> 05:10.600 If they move that queen then which is going to come in and the bishops remains unobstructed. 05:11.140 --> 05:14.640 You've maintained the existing liberation of the bishop. 05:14.650 --> 05:18.850 You haven't reduced it with my AFTA and we just come in with the Queen. 05:20.020 --> 05:23.890 So, OK, I just want the more abstract point from this particular lecture. 05:24.100 --> 05:30.550 Just remember, the basis of most successful CHASKE combinations are the double attack and most beginners 05:30.550 --> 05:33.040 course is the focal double-take is discussed. 05:33.580 --> 05:35.740 There are other tactical weapons. 05:36.520 --> 05:40.840 I mean, the discovered attack or discoveries is also sometimes discussed. 05:40.840 --> 05:45.880 And that also leads to this notion of a double attack or more than one more than two attacks which are 05:45.880 --> 05:46.540 overwhelming. 05:46.750 --> 05:49.090 The essential principle is overwhelming. 05:49.090 --> 05:55.720 Freda's, for a single move in a single tank game can be a decisive factor to help you win those games, 05:55.840 --> 05:56.800 especially chess. 05:57.010 --> 05:59.320 That is our main focus of this course. 05:59.800 --> 06:06.820 So the spirit, the undertone, the underpinnings that you're looking for is to overwhelm the opponent. 06:06.970 --> 06:14.650 You don't want to have these games where you friend hoping that they they parry a new friend, they 06:14.650 --> 06:18.250 parry and you just carry on an endless game. 06:18.520 --> 06:19.780 You want to play decisively. 06:19.780 --> 06:22.300 You want to play moves that have irreversible damage. 06:22.630 --> 06:26.620 You want to say, look, I know this is a strong move, but is there a stronger one which might even 06:26.620 --> 06:30.400 threatened this and that or this, this that overwhelm them? 06:30.400 --> 06:36.820 The spirit of overwhelming the opponent with multiple friends is something which is the kind of undertone 06:37.210 --> 06:40.060 of successful chess tactics and combinations. 06:40.690 --> 06:42.390 OK, that's a much.
