WEBVTT 00:01.340 --> 00:08.960 Why they're in this flesh, I just want to emphasise the role of awareness, awareness in chess isn't 00:08.960 --> 00:12.820 just from loud sounding sounding moves, being able to calculate them. 00:13.190 --> 00:17.270 If I do that loud sounding move, they do that loud sounding move. 00:17.810 --> 00:20.200 And this is the trip I have from the position. 00:20.600 --> 00:22.670 Sometimes there are emerging facts. 00:23.720 --> 00:32.960 Which when you calculate there are little facts which are undeniable, like the subtle effects of obstruction 00:32.960 --> 00:33.720 or liberation. 00:34.700 --> 00:41.240 So when we calculate their actions, there's weakness of the last five killer common squares. 00:43.000 --> 00:49.360 And the liberation effects or the closure effects as well, liberate or block in. 00:50.600 --> 00:56.360 Open up or close, the closer a face so we can't just get the truth of possessions. 00:57.850 --> 01:02.560 From just being aware of the loud moves, sometimes the quiet moves celebrate the thanks. 01:03.460 --> 01:11.410 Much better the facts that we gather from our awareness, so in fact, the process of calculating variations 01:11.410 --> 01:17.190 gives us a great insight into what's going on in a position here. 01:17.320 --> 01:23.100 There are certain facts we can gather about exposition, which are kind of undeniable. 01:23.860 --> 01:28.060 The king is the only thing that protects H7 undeniable fact. 01:31.080 --> 01:35.980 Just bear that in mind, the bishop is looking at H7. 01:37.140 --> 01:42.330 The queen can't go to the fray because the bishop over here, these are facts that we're we're gathering. 01:42.810 --> 01:46.040 We're getting aware of the possibilities or the lack of possibilities. 01:46.590 --> 01:49.080 It seems we're we're constrained. 01:49.350 --> 01:54.630 If we look at forcing moves, the Lord forcing moves 965, we can be aware of this. 01:54.630 --> 01:57.570 If we actually play, we're in a really miserable position. 02:00.130 --> 02:06.280 So this is actually Vishy Anand against Michael Adams, this would be really kind of nice for black 02:06.280 --> 02:08.440 blockading that so-called ice like Queen's. 02:09.040 --> 02:10.630 It feels as though we're being sat on. 02:11.230 --> 02:14.910 Is this a miserable position or is there something in it? 02:15.550 --> 02:17.640 Actually, there is something in this position. 02:18.760 --> 02:24.760 But if we just reserve our calculations that are allowed moves, we don't get the awareness and celebration 02:24.760 --> 02:28.150 of the facts of the case, so to speak. 02:28.150 --> 02:34.210 If we play B5, it's a fact actually that here. 02:36.410 --> 02:43.370 They have allowed move night Sifry, which had some cocaine, and then they just take so it seems even 02:43.370 --> 02:49.670 be five years out of the question, is this like a really miserable position or what? 02:50.090 --> 02:52.470 But do they now both tell the whole story? 02:52.490 --> 02:54.950 Do they tell us the truth of the position? 02:55.610 --> 02:57.230 Hold on a sec. 02:57.620 --> 02:59.030 Let's just rewind there. 02:59.450 --> 03:00.980 So we play B5. 03:02.000 --> 03:07.430 Is there a fact in terms of liberation or closing up of pieces? 03:07.430 --> 03:08.030 There is a fact. 03:08.030 --> 03:13.630 Hold on at this moment and let's not talk about 40 moves at this moment. 03:14.150 --> 03:15.770 The bishop is obstructed. 03:16.010 --> 03:18.050 So it's the reverse of liberation. 03:18.050 --> 03:20.330 You've locked in that Bishop. 03:20.870 --> 03:21.770 What does this mean? 03:21.770 --> 03:27.590 The bishop hasn't got a view of CIFOR or differe or Itoh or EF1. 03:27.950 --> 03:30.790 That's an undeniable fact in this moment. 03:31.820 --> 03:39.290 Now, if we resolve ourselves only looking at the loud sounding moves, our truth of this position can 03:39.290 --> 03:45.020 be severely distorted after night saying see free instead of the auto recaptcha. 03:45.740 --> 03:46.580 Hold on a sec. 03:47.060 --> 03:53.000 Can we celebrate the fact that we've established just then that the bishop is blocked and there is a 03:53.000 --> 03:59.900 move here which is a quiet move, but a kind of move you can have quiet but killer moves. 04:00.500 --> 04:07.700 It's a common trap in beginners courses that might teach, you know, the power of always looking out 04:07.700 --> 04:09.620 for the loud sounding forcing moves. 04:10.250 --> 04:13.850 But sometimes they don't celebrate the facts of the case, the facts of your position. 04:16.560 --> 04:22.240 Here is a quiet move which celebrates some facts of the position, the earlier fact we've established 04:22.240 --> 04:29.310 the king is the only peace protecting 87 and the bishop hasn't got a view over here as remove instead 04:29.310 --> 04:33.550 of the automatic recapture that we can do when we prioritize. 04:33.570 --> 04:39.900 By the way, yeah, Cheque's captious frat's of making one and two is a golden key to at least give 04:39.900 --> 04:42.420 you a glimpse of some of those possibilities. 04:42.630 --> 04:45.980 Even when they capture one of your pieces, your instinct is to recapture. 04:46.290 --> 04:51.750 But sometimes the A one or two needs to be considered as an alternative to recapture. 04:51.990 --> 04:54.450 Is there such a threat of one or two here? 04:57.660 --> 05:02.280 Yes, there is, because when you create a battering, you immediately create a common square as you 05:02.280 --> 05:07.560 can create a battering here using the fact the bishop hasn't got a view on differe, you've done a kind 05:07.560 --> 05:08.670 of reverse liberation. 05:08.670 --> 05:09.660 You've blocked in that bishop. 05:09.900 --> 05:13.930 You've got Queen Differe threatening checkmate. 05:14.250 --> 05:15.840 It winds a tampoe. 05:18.400 --> 05:24.260 You've just one time on the chessboard, it's like you're playing an extra moving for free. 05:24.940 --> 05:26.020 What do they do here? 05:28.200 --> 05:36.600 Well, sex was played, and after Bishop S.C free gas, what blacks losing a place, this is a folk 05:36.600 --> 05:40.380 plan, essentially losing a going to win in the special night. 05:43.810 --> 05:46.180 What's the point I was trying to make here? 05:49.060 --> 05:55.930 Well, when we calculate, yeah, it's reassuring to calculate the loud moves, but sometimes the quiet 05:55.930 --> 05:58.780 moves are really dangerous as well. 05:58.810 --> 06:05.350 They do celebrate sometimes the facts of the positions and pieces are temporarily locked and blocked. 06:06.370 --> 06:11.000 And the king is the only king if if the king is the only piece holding a pawn. 06:11.560 --> 06:13.330 These are very, very exciting facts. 06:15.000 --> 06:23.600 It's kind of make use and combine as this example shows, so, yeah, Black had to resign her VECCI 06:23.640 --> 06:31.250 and later became world chess champion tactical genius, but so is Michael Adams, multiple times per 06:31.300 --> 06:33.980 champion, both absolute geniuses on chess board. 06:34.410 --> 06:41.040 But this is just one of those positions where it's interesting that these facts accumulate and sometimes 06:41.040 --> 06:43.090 it's the quiet moves that the killer moves. 06:44.060 --> 06:46.170 OK, that's a much.
