WEBVTT 00:02.050 --> 00:04.840 Hi there in this. 00:05.080 --> 00:07.620 I like to give you an example of a classic downside. 00:07.670 --> 00:15.730 No change of pace, sometimes exploiting even a totally classic downside, such as a piece of the opponent's 00:15.730 --> 00:16.900 position being unprotected. 00:16.900 --> 00:19.210 It's not as straightforward as it might seem. 00:19.210 --> 00:23.900 You might need to translate it into another downside to make it exploitable. 00:25.750 --> 00:32.710 Sometimes we do need to translate things into other things to make it possible to actually exploit the 00:32.710 --> 00:33.380 advantage. 00:33.790 --> 00:41.280 So here, if we ordinarily for OK, we can take on the fall, but our pieces are unprotected on these 00:41.290 --> 00:41.770 seven. 00:44.160 --> 00:48.610 Is there a better way rather than taking here just like this? 00:53.930 --> 00:55.370 Is there a much better way? 00:58.470 --> 01:01.020 If I give you five cents portfolio, what do you think? 01:06.990 --> 01:09.990 If we look at the Forese moves, the high priority forcing moves. 01:12.390 --> 01:14.820 The major threats we can make in this particular position. 01:16.790 --> 01:22.970 OK, we might not be able to to make one of one and two, there's no threat of one into one or two, 01:23.330 --> 01:26.570 but we can a major front here could be just like attacking the rook. 01:26.750 --> 01:28.520 We're limiting the Panthers replies. 01:28.670 --> 01:32.960 As long as we don't get back from mated, we don't want to get back from mated. 01:33.050 --> 01:33.520 Right. 01:34.790 --> 01:37.940 So there are some cinemas which which help us get mated. 01:38.600 --> 01:41.900 But there is a move which is quite forcing, which is Bishop the eight. 01:43.220 --> 01:49.720 And now, you know, if they move the rock here, we actually just snap off that Bishop alewife it. 01:49.740 --> 01:53.360 Well, OK, Squasher, they just pretend they just protect their bishop protected. 01:54.530 --> 01:56.660 What's this about limited space in exploiting it? 01:57.230 --> 02:02.090 Is there anything else to tap into here in terms of downsides, the opponent's position? 02:02.540 --> 02:08.810 You can't look at it like that, but you can also look forwards only even if you just check the forcing 02:08.810 --> 02:12.110 moves where even the most outrageous ones. 02:16.890 --> 02:22.860 Can you see a falsey move, you might want to pause the video of it, five seconds, pause video Blancs 02:22.860 --> 02:25.470 play here was got in this position. 02:30.430 --> 02:39.240 OK, yeah, there is a really, really powerful forces move and really takes the fore after Rook 24, 02:40.180 --> 02:41.010 what's the point? 02:44.480 --> 02:47.560 I hope you can spot that what we can do. 02:49.050 --> 02:53.880 Even if we're looking just check with Chase, it's like an X-ray check, in a way, this would be check 02:53.880 --> 02:55.310 if it wasn't for the rook in the right. 02:55.320 --> 02:57.390 But this is this means it's a pin, actually. 02:58.350 --> 03:00.020 We've just pin the rock to the king. 03:00.450 --> 03:01.110 It's a pin. 03:01.110 --> 03:02.400 It's a pretty nasty pin. 03:04.470 --> 03:05.820 And we end up a piece up. 03:06.120 --> 03:07.250 There's no way of defending that. 03:07.460 --> 03:08.280 It wins the piece. 03:08.580 --> 03:09.560 We're going to be a bishop. 03:11.850 --> 03:18.230 So an absolute pin, which is kind of to take and build up. 03:19.710 --> 03:29.610 So anyway, the major point I wanted to make is that quite often in games, pieces often dropping off 03:29.610 --> 03:32.040 because they're unprotected, they're fundamentally unprotected. 03:34.200 --> 03:39.600 And as humans, we do want to compensate for being human, but in general, having our pieces, protecting 03:39.600 --> 03:40.110 each other. 03:40.650 --> 03:48.360 You save a lot of grief if you try and make sure you don't have any unprotected pieces in general, 03:48.360 --> 03:52.860 that is a major way of losing tactically, just pieces falling off the ball because they weren't protected 03:52.860 --> 03:53.310 by anything. 03:53.550 --> 04:02.880 But here is it's an interesting example, because actually the downside is kind of translated by force, 04:02.880 --> 04:03.870 but very forcing moves. 04:03.870 --> 04:14.720 That's our instrument to exploit with this rook force shocker that really gives us a nice pins and unprotected 04:14.730 --> 04:19.500 piece to work with far more exploits for making use of the king being on G1. 04:20.340 --> 04:28.350 So sometimes you do need to be calculating hard, even if you suspect there are downsides of the opponent's 04:28.350 --> 04:28.860 position. 04:29.070 --> 04:35.310 Sometimes you need to be pretty resourceful to bring those downsides out on the line them and might 04:35.310 --> 04:36.300 not be straightforward. 04:38.010 --> 04:42.870 Sometimes when you see a strong move, as the expression goes, look for an even stronger one. 04:44.010 --> 04:47.250 So you you might have thought, well, I can say the best I can take and. 04:50.460 --> 04:51.300 But there's nothing there. 04:51.330 --> 04:54.830 You know, sometimes it really does give you nothing if you don't look for the stronger move. 04:54.850 --> 04:59.860 So the strong move, Bishop, the agent is the one which really will win you the game here. 05:00.630 --> 05:10.350 OK, so the major takeaway point is intuitively you're directly on the chessboard by the opponents down 05:10.350 --> 05:10.890 sides. 05:11.160 --> 05:17.000 There are classic downsides which we're going to see in this course, like back from my argument, death, 05:17.430 --> 05:21.570 any any line of death in general actually doesn't even have to be a triangle of death. 05:22.260 --> 05:23.910 But here is actually a diagram of death. 05:23.910 --> 05:29.250 Actually, this is actually a diagram because the Kings on on G1, this nice diagonal actually is winning 05:29.250 --> 05:31.310 a schemes quite frequently. 05:31.310 --> 05:32.310 It wins me lots of games. 05:32.310 --> 05:33.600 It wins everyone lots of games. 05:33.780 --> 05:35.730 The basic gargles when people castle. 05:36.030 --> 05:39.900 It's because it's a day for a lot of traffic passes through the defaults in chess. 05:40.290 --> 05:46.160 So when when we were going to be quite worried about this tigo, these deaths, but also, you know, 05:46.410 --> 05:51.740 the ranks of that back row rank of death, you know, the king has got enough air, then, you know, 05:51.750 --> 05:56.340 we can have basically any line of death with generalising it line of death. 05:56.340 --> 06:00.420 But I do like my my diagram of that as well. 06:00.870 --> 06:02.730 But line of death, if you want to generalize it. 06:02.730 --> 06:08.490 So there's other downsides where the opponents king is the king, the most vulnerable piece where pieces 06:08.490 --> 06:11.040 can be absolutely penned against the king. 06:11.550 --> 06:17.100 There are so many benefits of thinking about the opponents, King's position and all the lines to the 06:17.100 --> 06:20.070 opponents king as well to factor in. 06:20.730 --> 06:24.750 So here it does help translate this downside into a more exploitable downside. 06:25.320 --> 06:30.840 OK, so I hope you're getting a least some of the principles here from this example and to be downside 06:30.840 --> 06:31.400 aware. 06:32.220 --> 06:33.750 OK, Azamat.
