Hi there.

00:02.850 --> 00:10.310
In this example of a skua, which is coming up, Garry Kasparov is playing against Stefano Tarty.

00:11.220 --> 00:13.660
So this is in the 1986 Chess Olympiad.

00:14.010 --> 00:21.750
So Kasparov to play play is actually a very interesting move to start off with a move, 39 queen aged

00:21.760 --> 00:23.970
six Czech now after King is seven.

00:24.720 --> 00:26.010
Do you move the night bank?

00:27.000 --> 00:33.620
It's a tax, isn't it, by both queen and King, or do you do something extra special here?

00:34.320 --> 00:40.170
Now you'll notice that actually Black's pieces are in alignment here.

00:40.170 --> 00:41.510
They are neatly aligned.

00:42.240 --> 00:48.780
So when your opponent's pieces are neatly lines, maybe that's a kind of sense that something might

00:48.780 --> 00:51.860
be up in terms of a secure.

00:52.800 --> 00:57.390
So what do you think is more of a plate here than a retreat, the knight or does he play something else?

00:58.790 --> 01:00.480
I'll give you five seconds to pause the video.

01:02.730 --> 01:03.510
What would you play?

01:05.580 --> 01:09.810
OK, he played an absolutely crushing move, Kwangju seven Jack.

01:12.380 --> 01:21.410
And after King takes Desex, we have a beautiful skua, they are aligned, still make the lines and

01:21.410 --> 01:22.760
that's a bit of a downside in chess.

01:22.790 --> 01:27.800
Sometimes Queen Efate check and Black has to resign.

01:27.830 --> 01:29.230
Blacks can lose the queen.

01:29.870 --> 01:33.400
So, yeah, look out for neatly aligned arrangements and you might ask how long.

01:33.410 --> 01:34.410
Hold on a second squasher.

01:34.430 --> 01:35.930
What about King here?

01:36.320 --> 01:40.370
Well, actually, Queen Efate Jack is winning here as well.

01:42.110 --> 01:44.660
If King size seven, can you see what white plays here?

01:46.730 --> 01:54.890
If I give you five seconds here, extra bonus puzzle within this puzzle, puzzles can be taken from

01:54.890 --> 01:59.450
real games, by the way, they don't have to be artificially constructed or they can be from variations

01:59.450 --> 02:01.900
which didn't even occur in a particular game.

02:02.870 --> 02:04.550
So like here, this didn't occur.

02:04.560 --> 02:06.890
But we can still make a kind of chess puzzle out of it.

02:06.890 --> 02:07.940
Might be five chac.

02:09.830 --> 02:14.480
So that's attacking the queen and also Czech, which needs to be addressed.

02:14.960 --> 02:16.550
So this would be winning the Queen as well.

02:17.630 --> 02:23.240
So yeah, when your opponent's pieces are kind of neatly aligned, you know, look out for these skewer,

02:23.960 --> 02:25.240
skewer possibilities.

02:26.270 --> 02:28.070
I enjoyed that one as much as me.

02:28.400 --> 02:30.260
OK, thanks so much.
