WEBVTT 00:00.930 --> 00:07.520 High that in this nation, I'd like to introduce you to a scare tactic example so hair won't play, 00:07.530 --> 00:13.680 can actually use a scare tactic, but you might want to have a go to see if you can find the best move 00:13.680 --> 00:13.950 hair. 00:14.310 --> 00:16.820 There's one or two moves in this position which are really good. 00:16.830 --> 00:18.510 I make use of a securitising. 00:19.320 --> 00:24.030 Can you find out the best move if I give you five seconds to think about this position, you want to 00:24.030 --> 00:34.020 clean the --, so you're going up the board and you know you want to be able to win from this position. 00:34.530 --> 00:36.480 So what's a very, very good move? 00:38.440 --> 00:40.290 OK, there are two good moves. 00:41.730 --> 00:43.590 One of the clearest is just rook hair. 00:44.070 --> 00:46.190 And basically you're threatening to queen. 00:46.860 --> 00:49.800 So they end up having to take the pawn here. 00:50.460 --> 00:54.180 And now we have a skewer this chac. 00:54.720 --> 01:02.940 So the skewer is a bit like a reverse pin in that there is an arrangement of line pieces. 01:02.940 --> 01:07.230 It's the line pieces like the rook, the bishop and queen, which can indulge in skewers. 01:07.560 --> 01:09.780 So this is not the realms of knights and pawns. 01:10.110 --> 01:15.090 We can see the rock is tracking and as the king moves, the king has to move. 01:15.780 --> 01:19.560 And it's going to be an absolutely winning position now for weight. 01:20.220 --> 01:22.680 So that's a great use of a skewer. 01:23.550 --> 01:29.490 And also, by the way, if you thought of this move, we get the same thing here. 01:29.520 --> 01:32.580 If plac takes and then we check take. 01:33.360 --> 01:33.710 Yeah. 01:34.170 --> 01:40.710 So essentially, even if King f7, we can just queen here. 01:40.710 --> 01:44.430 And that's also winning in this particular position, we're still going to win that rook. 01:45.750 --> 01:50.970 So the skua is like if you look at the arrangement, it's like a reverse spin. 01:50.970 --> 01:57.840 Sometimes it's known as in some quarters as a reverse pan in that. 02:00.730 --> 02:08.740 There's the arrangement of pieces where instead of the pins peace being the less valuable to the more 02:08.740 --> 02:17.100 expensive piece, the more expensive piece is in the center here and the less expensive piece is here. 02:18.340 --> 02:26.560 And now this kind of skewer is actually called an absolute skewer, like absolutely has to react when 02:26.560 --> 02:29.450 it's a relative skewer, like a relative pin. 02:29.770 --> 02:35.960 There are often options in some in some cases just to ignore the relative skewer. 02:36.190 --> 02:44.340 But here is an absolute skewer and it absolutely wins from this position with either G AIDS or eight. 02:44.590 --> 02:48.800 So we're setting up a skewer essentially in my arms. 02:48.820 --> 02:49.390 But hold on. 02:49.390 --> 02:49.720 Hold on. 02:49.720 --> 02:54.100 King's Cross, you want to check these checks are only in the short term. 02:54.100 --> 02:58.300 The king just walk over here and then eventually, you know, the decision will have to be made. 02:58.300 --> 03:00.770 At this point, I'd like to take that form. 03:00.790 --> 03:02.080 And so we get that skewer. 03:02.680 --> 03:04.100 So this is an absolute skewer. 03:04.300 --> 03:06.370 So it's a very, very important tactic to know about. 03:06.520 --> 03:11.950 You can think of it a bit like a reverse pan, and it would still have the two forms, you know, the 03:11.950 --> 03:14.170 absolute pan or the relative pan. 03:14.170 --> 03:20.560 We have here an absolute skewer because it's the king in the center and you can have a relative skewer 03:20.560 --> 03:24.040 where it could be a queen, usually a queen in the center. 03:25.990 --> 03:31.510 So it's usually a more expensive piece being skewered, you know, and there's a kind of less expensive 03:31.510 --> 03:31.780 piece. 03:32.080 --> 03:40.840 There's also you could think of it as this piece, the rook is kind of x ring the rook here, but we've 03:40.840 --> 03:42.100 set it up in this position. 03:42.100 --> 03:48.730 We've actually set up a skewer by offering that point to get this placement, this alignment. 03:49.300 --> 03:55.510 So sometimes these alignments of the opponents pieces in a line does make them ripe for skewering. 03:56.200 --> 04:01.050 So, OK, this is just a very basic example and it's also very important for your component endings 04:01.120 --> 04:01.540 as well. 04:01.840 --> 04:03.220 So two birds with one stone. 04:03.670 --> 04:06.940 I hope you'll make use of this kind of rope move in. 04:06.940 --> 04:11.980 And games like this, we want Queen of Pawn and you're a bit frustrated. 04:11.980 --> 04:14.470 You don't see a way of not losing it. 04:14.710 --> 04:16.720 So the answer is actually just lose it. 04:16.960 --> 04:20.440 Get this translate this passport into a skewer. 04:20.920 --> 04:25.540 That's the way to win this position you're translating into sometimes. 04:25.540 --> 04:31.840 It's also called a royal skill when when it's a king and center, but technically it's an absolute skua. 04:32.560 --> 04:34.420 OK, so that's the principle of obscure. 04:36.100 --> 04:37.870 Let's look at some more examples. 04:38.170 --> 04:38.710 That's so much.
