WEBVTT 00:01.230 --> 00:01.520 There. 00:02.310 --> 00:09.720 In this example, our prioritization of forcing moves actually can help us find a win by force. 00:10.110 --> 00:18.230 So the process really of checking all checks captures a major France is a process within a process. 00:19.170 --> 00:23.220 And these are the kind of moves which severely limit replies. 00:23.460 --> 00:28.770 In fact, the most limiting type of check is the double check, because that absolutely forces the king 00:28.770 --> 00:29.370 to move. 00:29.940 --> 00:35.520 But the checks, they they they can severely limit the opponents replies and make our position seem 00:35.520 --> 00:39.810 actually fairly clear cut, clear cut, clear cut. 00:40.920 --> 00:43.620 How to actually win from the given position. 00:44.190 --> 00:53.730 So here, can you see if you follow that process of prioritizing forcings, being aware of them, what 00:53.730 --> 00:59.010 major checks captures and frat's of one are there? 00:59.220 --> 01:05.760 And hopefully you see a major check of great importance here and you can actually try and visualize 01:05.760 --> 01:13.150 ahead because the opponents replies are so limited, it does actually make it fairly clear-cut to calculate. 01:13.470 --> 01:15.170 Also, this has an ingredients. 01:15.660 --> 01:20.940 One of my three ingredients crops up here as well of kella common squares. 01:21.240 --> 01:25.340 Often you're winning because you gain access to squares. 01:26.370 --> 01:31.730 Now that's either because they've just left a square week or you've purposely made them leave a square 01:31.740 --> 01:37.020 week or a square becomes weak because you've actually combined forces. 01:37.260 --> 01:39.930 You've got common squares between your pieces. 01:40.110 --> 01:42.540 And there is such an example if we step through it. 01:42.960 --> 01:45.360 So white is in big trouble here. 01:45.360 --> 01:49.560 Intuitively, we're kind of ex rang the opponents kings. 01:49.560 --> 01:56.190 So it looks as though there's a little bit of a theoretical downside and you get an intuition of downsides 01:56.190 --> 01:59.400 to more and more you become like stronger tactically. 01:59.790 --> 02:01.300 So here it looks as though hang on. 02:01.350 --> 02:04.340 Yeah, the rook's kind of explain the king. 02:04.770 --> 02:07.110 Is there a downside for White's position here? 02:07.830 --> 02:14.430 So if you follow that process of calculation and chacal checks, what do you actually come up with? 02:15.480 --> 02:17.160 If I give you five seconds, pause the video. 02:21.390 --> 02:27.720 OK, yeah, there's a major for check, even if it's outrageous, Chacal checks your priorities enforcing 02:27.720 --> 02:33.420 moves and hopefully you've seen that if age takes, you can actually make that X-ray count to be a major 02:33.420 --> 02:33.860 check. 02:34.320 --> 02:41.730 And here, when you follow that process or calculation, if you follow those golden principles, you're 02:41.730 --> 02:43.610 checking for killer common squares. 02:44.040 --> 02:45.810 So that's where your pieces cooperate. 02:45.840 --> 02:49.410 So here of the Kingi one, can you see a killer common square? 02:49.430 --> 02:50.430 I hope you can. 02:53.040 --> 02:57.840 OK, it's actually is actually age one is a common square between the queen and the rock, so you can 02:57.840 --> 02:59.800 either play rock, H1 or each one. 03:00.270 --> 03:07.170 So this is a pretty neat example, a clear cut example where the awareness of forcing member nations 03:07.590 --> 03:09.660 leads to a win by force. 03:09.900 --> 03:12.510 And that's what you often want to do. 03:13.140 --> 03:16.980 My most successful seasons, my calculations have been pretty sharp. 03:18.660 --> 03:25.740 And yes, that's why often the performance in actual the over the board, while the OTV world, you 03:25.740 --> 03:28.740 know, you need to be kind of alert to these opportunities. 03:29.160 --> 03:31.230 So you shouldn't be too tired for a game. 03:32.040 --> 03:38.580 You know, you should be sufficiently rested and awake and you can follow the processes of calculation 03:38.580 --> 03:39.510 quite clearly. 03:40.870 --> 03:48.790 So ideally, you know as well to help you kind of prioritize the forcing moves, the privatization policy 03:48.790 --> 03:55.540 moves, you can use this catchy, catchy saying, you know, check checks, tackle captures, tackle 03:55.540 --> 03:57.400 major frat's. 03:57.430 --> 04:05.260 So, yeah, chacal checks actually reveals fairly simple, relatively simple choices, not simple kind 04:05.260 --> 04:08.630 of solution when the killer comes out at the end, knocks out the opponent. 04:09.070 --> 04:15.540 So, yeah, it's not the example itself that I want you to be too obsessed with. 04:17.230 --> 04:23.350 So I want this course to be about your understanding of mental game processes and mental game patterns. 04:23.900 --> 04:32.200 So we're trying to get aligned to this process, this prioritization of forcing moves, this awareness 04:32.200 --> 04:35.830 when you calculate of the opportunities for weakness of the last move. 04:37.290 --> 04:43.100 Killer common squares and the in effect laws, the effects on the whole board, not just the last one 04:43.120 --> 04:50.520 you've played in your head at Beth Harmon home for movie night or a --, it's not just the action 04:50.520 --> 04:55.350 of that --, you know, might have opened up other pieces that -- might've opened up a load of other 04:55.350 --> 04:55.700 pieces. 04:55.710 --> 04:58.880 So the ineffectualness is also pretty important as well. 04:58.890 --> 05:06.450 But here this is this example is about the killer common square, each one of the initial, you know, 05:06.450 --> 05:07.850 forcing move checks. 05:09.090 --> 05:14.760 OK, I hope this is understandable so far, but too much.
