WEBVTT 00:01.020 --> 00:07.280 In this position, this is often the cause of major frustration with my students because there are weaknesses. 00:07.340 --> 00:10.600 The last move ready to destroy us in this position. 00:10.920 --> 00:13.380 That's what makes this kind of tricky. 00:14.520 --> 00:19.380 If we move the night here, we've got a weakness of loss. 00:19.620 --> 00:20.550 We lose the queen. 00:20.850 --> 00:22.010 This is really unfortunate. 00:23.070 --> 00:27.690 If we take on ESX, you know, we go into this pin. 00:27.690 --> 00:36.110 It seems as though there might be nothing here because if we take, then they take our queen or isn't. 00:37.110 --> 00:40.670 And if we take on G7, then they just take her. 00:40.680 --> 00:41.850 And what have we achieved? 00:42.570 --> 00:47.370 If we now take they don't have to take the night to go into this mighty Folke. 00:47.760 --> 00:48.120 Sure. 00:48.120 --> 00:52.590 If they sorry if they took the bishop with the night then there's a mighty fork in his. 00:53.410 --> 00:55.140 But what if they just played this. 00:55.380 --> 00:56.610 We've just blown the peace. 00:56.860 --> 01:03.570 It seems we're liable in all of these free variations that we're kind of inhibited by our own instead 01:03.570 --> 01:04.320 of the last move. 01:04.560 --> 01:07.560 But in one of the paths there is something interesting. 01:08.580 --> 01:12.870 Which one of those free paths was the something super interesting? 01:14.820 --> 01:16.360 I'll make it easier for you. 01:16.380 --> 01:22.320 It's in Bishop ESX, so it looks as though we're going straight into a kind of soft pen against the 01:22.320 --> 01:23.640 queen that it's not his pen. 01:24.240 --> 01:30.000 But have we got any forcing moves if we prioritize forcing those? 01:32.600 --> 01:37.370 What can we come up with in this position if I give you five seconds, pause video? 01:47.220 --> 01:54.750 OK, it turns out we can actually undermine the opponent's position, which rotates G7, this G7 bishop, 01:54.750 --> 01:57.150 as a supporting kind of piece of --. 01:57.190 --> 01:59.760 So we've kind of weakened Eighty-six. 01:59.760 --> 02:05.370 So we're gaining access to key squares through this process of removal of the defender, as it's sometimes 02:05.370 --> 02:13.230 called, any removal of the defender or just moving the defender via the flash and gives us access to 02:13.230 --> 02:15.390 squares which we didn't have before. 02:15.630 --> 02:17.850 So it's a bit like waiting until the last vote. 02:17.940 --> 02:22.030 It's a bit like telecom and squares access the squares generally wins you games. 02:22.590 --> 02:24.430 So here we've got access to ASX. 02:25.140 --> 02:28.170 Now this is bad news for black. 02:28.290 --> 02:35.870 If King takes then 1986, we're -- king and queen and we've undermined each sex. 02:37.080 --> 02:39.360 So the thing is, if nighttimes. 02:41.520 --> 02:46.050 Yeah, we just take on eighty-six and then here has to resign. 02:46.560 --> 02:53.310 I hope you can spot why we've got a common Schoenman, age seven now, which coordinate, you know, 02:53.310 --> 02:56.610 the night in Queena coordinated with Queen Me. 02:57.720 --> 03:00.200 The night also stopped the escape of the black king. 03:00.210 --> 03:03.090 So this is a nice chat, mate, to be aware of. 03:03.960 --> 03:10.620 In fact, if you get situations where any pawns of the opponents cancelled King and chips away, you 03:10.620 --> 03:17.800 should be on even greater lookout generally for checkmates ideas and forcing your way through to a checkmate. 03:18.270 --> 03:22.470 So anyway, yeah, yeah, the initial position is like we're kind of hamstrung. 03:22.470 --> 03:25.320 We're stuck because of our weaknesses of the last move. 03:25.800 --> 03:27.840 That weapon is a two edged weapon. 03:27.840 --> 03:29.220 We can use it against the opponent. 03:29.580 --> 03:36.300 Well, if we can play our cards right in situations which look tricky like this, we can inflict kind 03:36.300 --> 03:43.120 of weaknesses on the opponents taking out G7 at the right time of the bishops. 03:43.120 --> 03:45.840 I guess this is the right time to take out G7. 03:46.740 --> 03:49.800 It just breaks the opponent's position down. 03:50.580 --> 03:54.180 That's just how we've undermined age sex. 03:54.600 --> 04:00.000 So, yeah, this this example, I just want to emphasize again, this is really about the processes. 04:00.270 --> 04:05.580 So sometimes you get situations like this, which is that really cause frustration. 04:05.940 --> 04:08.180 It's like there's tons of weaknesses. 04:08.200 --> 04:10.110 The last move which set traps for us. 04:10.470 --> 04:15.870 But we need to turn that weapon around, you know, to inflict it on the opponent, get them to have 04:15.870 --> 04:17.250 weaknesses of the last move. 04:19.330 --> 04:22.390 Gaining access to key sensitive squares. 04:23.430 --> 04:28.020 Crush your opponent with those squares that you've won access to. 04:28.500 --> 04:30.210 OK, so much.
