WEBVTT 00:01.430 --> 00:10.270 Hi there in this election, I want to emphasize to you that sometimes we need to take out defensive 00:10.270 --> 00:12.420 heroes from our opponents. 00:12.820 --> 00:19.550 We calculate we end up with a version of the story which has a problem in it. 00:20.380 --> 00:23.960 That problem is often that there was a defensive hero. 00:24.100 --> 00:26.320 It ruins the entire outcome. 00:28.130 --> 00:34.910 Of what could have been if only you could rewrite that story and take out the defense of Hero. 00:37.280 --> 00:43.220 Now we'll get to the major tactical weapons of test later, but there's one called removing the defender, 00:43.940 --> 00:46.900 which in a way is like rewriting a story. 00:47.750 --> 00:51.860 So in draft, when you calculate variations, is that a draft of a story? 00:52.850 --> 00:53.860 You realize that? 00:53.870 --> 00:54.410 Hold on. 00:54.410 --> 01:00.390 If only there wasn't that defensive hero, then you could have been so much more effective. 01:02.030 --> 01:07.160 This is an example where if we calculate there is a defensive hero, actually. 01:09.160 --> 01:12.160 And once we recognize that offensive hero. 01:13.510 --> 01:19.480 We can take steps to rewrite the story, so, yeah, our calculation is almost like our draft story 01:19.480 --> 01:19.990 in a way. 01:21.130 --> 01:26.530 So what would be our story here in draft that we might think is lucrative? 01:26.530 --> 01:27.460 Highly lucrative. 01:28.690 --> 01:32.560 If I give you five cents, pause the video and wants to snag. 01:36.410 --> 01:40.580 And to do a good story first, time is virtually impossible. 01:40.590 --> 01:45.260 Sometimes you do need to see the snags and how you can get rid of those things. 01:45.980 --> 01:47.600 So you like rewriting the story. 01:47.600 --> 01:51.380 You're rewriting your destiny from a particular position. 01:54.300 --> 01:55.830 OK, all first, Troy. 01:59.670 --> 02:07.560 Might be to try and trap the queen with this move, the opponent does have some common squares, even 02:07.560 --> 02:08.880 if they're not killer common squares. 02:08.910 --> 02:10.290 They are defensive common squares. 02:10.710 --> 02:13.470 The knight and queen cooperate on F to them. 02:14.280 --> 02:23.020 So if we play this, yeah, the queen has got one key square and it ruins our story which ruins her. 02:23.380 --> 02:23.880 Yeah. 02:24.990 --> 02:29.310 If we take the queen, they're taking back the check and they've got G4 to jump out to if necessary. 02:29.340 --> 02:32.660 All right, Trigon, we've just ruined the good thing. 02:33.090 --> 02:34.350 Can we rewind the story? 02:34.350 --> 02:35.700 So that's why we calculate. 02:35.700 --> 02:39.930 But we're aware of our calculations and aware of the facts. 02:40.380 --> 02:43.340 And we're also aware of these so-called defensive heroes. 02:43.710 --> 02:51.060 And literally, there's a tactic called removing the defender, which is often called deflations as 02:51.060 --> 02:51.300 well. 02:51.300 --> 02:53.340 But that's like moving the defender. 02:54.480 --> 02:57.410 But sometimes you actually want to remove the defender. 02:58.980 --> 03:02.660 But more fundamentally, what is the defender? 03:03.360 --> 03:09.350 What are we talking about when we talk about removing defenders or distracting defenders? 03:09.360 --> 03:10.550 What are we talking about? 03:12.840 --> 03:19.260 We're humans, we're not computers, we don't have perfect analysis, first time is like writing a draft 03:19.710 --> 03:20.310 of the story. 03:20.310 --> 03:26.220 What we're talking about is removing the defensive heroes of our opponents, or you could call them 03:26.220 --> 03:26.820 villains. 03:27.420 --> 03:34.170 From our perspective of the defensive heroes, you can either remove the villain and rewrite the story 03:34.500 --> 03:38.730 or you can accept the story in first draft and you get nothing. 03:39.060 --> 03:42.980 That's the difference between potentially losing and winning again. 03:43.800 --> 03:45.450 Let's take on Aintree first. 03:45.510 --> 03:49.110 Let's remove the defensive hero. 03:51.630 --> 03:59.100 It's not even a kind of defender on this occasion, the tactic, remove the defender doesn't do this 03:59.100 --> 04:04.190 justice, even if you are aware when you will be aware in other parts of the courtroom. 04:04.900 --> 04:08.010 But even if we don't call it defendant, it's the defensive hero. 04:08.010 --> 04:09.300 It's the hero of the case. 04:10.830 --> 04:17.580 And now it's only the queen without any commonality of any other pieces looking after you. 04:17.580 --> 04:21.450 And here, look at BE1 works. 04:24.250 --> 04:25.370 How hold on, King's Cross. 04:25.400 --> 04:26.330 What about Quincy, too? 04:26.570 --> 04:28.160 Yes, good, good points. 04:28.670 --> 04:29.980 What do we have in this position? 04:33.560 --> 04:35.070 OK, we have a two. 04:35.750 --> 04:37.440 Yeah, we have Rakita. 04:39.440 --> 04:47.720 Anyway, the key point I wanted to make is regardless of specific tactical terms, you pick up later 04:48.500 --> 04:50.720 the undertones, the fundamentals of them. 04:51.290 --> 04:53.680 It's like rewriting, rewriting a script. 04:53.690 --> 05:00.080 Sometimes you're getting rid of the stacks, your ironing out the snags there might be in a piece. 05:00.080 --> 05:03.830 You pin it first, you eliminate it first, then you play your thing. 05:04.190 --> 05:07.100 It's like you're rewriting a draft of a story. 05:07.880 --> 05:15.500 We've just rewritten our draft here in this relatively simple example with Bishopsgate Century first. 05:15.500 --> 05:18.080 Normally don't want to do this because it's like, you know, ridiculous. 05:18.080 --> 05:20.450 You're weakening all line squares in principle. 05:20.450 --> 05:22.920 It's ridiculous because often this is the Guardian of the month. 05:23.390 --> 05:23.960 Don't do this. 05:23.960 --> 05:30.680 On this particular occasion, there's there's a goal, there's a specific objective to try and trap 05:31.400 --> 05:31.940 the opponents. 05:31.940 --> 05:35.360 Queen, very valuable piece without this snag. 05:35.510 --> 05:41.780 So, yeah, we're ironing out snags and often in the process of finding out things we need to identify. 05:41.780 --> 05:49.820 What was it that gave us that imposter as one of in terms with, say, victory and defeat? 05:50.270 --> 05:51.350 The Imposter's? 05:51.680 --> 06:00.140 What was it about the imposter which stopped us from being on victory rather than on the feet? 06:01.160 --> 06:06.110 We need to remove sometimes the so-called defensive heroes, the snags. 06:06.110 --> 06:13.470 We need to iron out the snags, remove the issues, rewind, rewrite on combination, some of rewiring 06:13.470 --> 06:16.850 it, change how we do our implementation. 06:18.080 --> 06:23.150 OK, I hope that points kind of back a little bit. 06:24.510 --> 06:25.130 Thanks so much.
