WEBVTT 00:01.020 --> 00:03.190 Hi there, Inspector. 00:03.240 --> 00:10.170 I want to just use this example as a kind of illustration that Chamique patterns, which are distinct 00:10.170 --> 00:18.060 from all kind of patterns, like when you pin a sort of tactical pattern of attack, but there's also 00:18.060 --> 00:19.590 these checkmating patterns. 00:19.980 --> 00:25.230 Now, quite often you want to be on the lookout for checkmating the opponent in general, even if you 00:25.350 --> 00:29.610 didn't have any mating patterns in your mind. 00:29.940 --> 00:35.370 But hopefully in the examples later in the course, you'll get training on your kind of brain's neural 00:35.370 --> 00:39.560 network to train on examples, to be able to recognize the patterns from afar. 00:40.350 --> 00:46.200 But even if you don't have those patterns your mind, you can use the processes of calculation, check 00:46.320 --> 00:55.410 checks, even the outrageous ones, and especially if the opponent's king doesn't have too many escape 00:55.410 --> 00:55.950 squares. 00:57.120 --> 01:00.420 Sometimes you don't want to be content with a perpetual check. 01:00.840 --> 01:07.070 Now here it looks as though, OK, we can check the opponent, but is it like homeless they play G7 01:07.460 --> 01:12.990 or are we just going to draw here because they're threatening Kyenge one checkmate that we just saw 01:12.990 --> 01:16.590 a great draw or do we recognize that? 01:16.590 --> 01:17.460 Actually, hold on. 01:17.460 --> 01:19.560 The Kings got a bit of a lack of escape skyscraper. 01:19.650 --> 01:23.670 It's only this rook I can I can play all day checking. 01:24.330 --> 01:29.360 Yeah, but is there anything else here? 01:29.370 --> 01:34.170 Instead of going back for a perpetual check and agreeing a draw, we do want to check checks, even 01:34.170 --> 01:43.740 the outrageous ones, the outrageous checks might give us access to squares under even more favorable 01:43.740 --> 01:46.350 circumstances than previously. 01:46.710 --> 01:48.300 They might alter the possession. 01:50.010 --> 01:58.770 And lead actually to a chat, maybe they might open up more roads to their opponents king it's roads 01:58.770 --> 02:01.380 to depose King, which are often decisive. 02:02.100 --> 02:05.070 Now here we only seem to have one roads. 02:05.070 --> 02:10.170 The opponents king, the king does seem to have a lack of escape squads, but with only one roads, 02:10.170 --> 02:16.020 are we just going to keep checking here or is there an outrageous check that we should consider, which 02:16.020 --> 02:17.730 is limiting the opponents replies? 02:17.730 --> 02:24.240 And we should definitely be aware of that because those 14 generations is our duty to prioritize those 02:24.240 --> 02:27.210 forcing variations, even if we never play them. 02:27.210 --> 02:30.620 We need that awareness of the forcing sequences. 02:31.110 --> 02:34.400 So is a forcing move here, which we should be aware of? 02:35.100 --> 02:39.120 I look at the effects and the potential liberationist effects. 02:41.130 --> 02:48.450 Relation in relation to the ordinary moves, but there is such a move and it's 96 now if we look at 02:48.450 --> 02:49.670 the in effect clause. 02:49.950 --> 02:54.790 Hold on, we've moved a pawn from 1876. 02:54.810 --> 02:57.630 It's that we've program that pawn to move. 02:57.840 --> 03:00.030 And now look at this Queen 86. 03:00.450 --> 03:02.370 We've actually kind of in this position. 03:02.370 --> 03:05.520 In effect, we've liberated the queen. 03:05.520 --> 03:08.010 It has access now to HIV when it didn't. 03:08.790 --> 03:12.920 So that queen now, because of that forcing move has changed the entire situation. 03:12.930 --> 03:14.430 And this is actually checkmate. 03:16.050 --> 03:17.250 The art of checkmate. 03:18.410 --> 03:24.710 Your desire to make should be often linked in a practical game where time is, you know, a factor as 03:24.710 --> 03:29.870 well on the clock, but when the opponent is king, has a lack of escape squares, you should sometimes 03:29.870 --> 03:32.890 spend a little bit more time seeing if there's a false chat. 03:32.900 --> 03:34.300 Maybe it's a signal. 03:34.310 --> 03:38.660 It's one of those tactical downside signals that you should be acutely aware of. 03:38.720 --> 03:44.840 They should encourage you to kind of underline and celebrate those downsides, a lack of escape squares. 03:45.560 --> 03:51.440 Then, you know, this process of checking all checks, even the outrageous ones, you know, Prancercise, 03:51.440 --> 03:52.400 the forcing moves. 03:54.420 --> 04:01.500 Cap captures tackle threats are one and two, a look at how things are subtly altered in possessions. 04:01.950 --> 04:04.230 -- are the fundamental constraints. 04:05.120 --> 04:12.710 Of the pieces, this is something written by also offers like Simple Chastain and which has been one 04:12.710 --> 04:14.390 of Britain's only grandmasters. 04:15.750 --> 04:21.360 If you look at the pawns and in relation to that golden ingredients, I'm talking about the liberation 04:21.360 --> 04:24.660 of facts, the pawns are often a fundamental extremists or pieces as well. 04:24.900 --> 04:30.000 So in the process of calculation, basically, any move potentially liberates your pieces or locks in 04:30.000 --> 04:30.870 the opponent's pieces. 04:31.140 --> 04:34.380 And actually, we've kind of liberated the queen in this particular position. 04:34.590 --> 04:36.530 The Queen's now got access to a AIDS. 04:37.050 --> 04:43.400 But I think the main thing, the more fundamental fundamental point is even if you didn't have any checkmate 04:43.410 --> 04:50.460 patterns in your in your armoury just yet, but you will later, you can often calculate, checkmates 04:50.850 --> 04:54.450 and often be incentivized even during a time constrained game. 04:55.410 --> 05:00.270 If there's a lack of escape, the opponents position, that should be like redds, the ball, you know, 05:00.720 --> 05:07.920 bulls, you know, the thing they should encourage you to go charging to calculate, be aware of the 05:07.920 --> 05:10.560 forcing stuff which could end up in checkmate. 05:11.480 --> 05:13.300 OK, that's so much.
