WEBVTT 00:01.410 --> 00:02.000 Hi there. 00:02.790 --> 00:08.940 In this example, the great Bobby Fischer is playing against Edward Stephan's and Black is just played 00:08.940 --> 00:09.740 B5. 00:09.960 --> 00:16.920 Now it looks as though intuitively, perhaps it's one of those positions where in opposite side castling, 00:16.920 --> 00:23.880 usually it's like just a race to checkmate each other's kings, black, maybe a little bit too incautious 00:23.880 --> 00:31.370 playing this B5 move because actually white doesn't even have to move the pawn or go for sex. 00:31.800 --> 00:36.480 There is something far, far stronger in this position based on. 00:38.330 --> 00:46.670 A kind of alignment which can be created here by whites based on B5, can you see Fisher's next move 00:46.670 --> 00:51.860 and why it can lead to a potentially dangerous skua possibility? 00:52.310 --> 00:57.650 If I give you five cents for the video, how can you actually make the allowing the opponent's pieces 00:58.370 --> 01:02.030 is the first question, because sometimes these cures are very subtle. 01:02.150 --> 01:06.950 You know, subtle downsides in the opponent's position needs to be brought to the surface. 01:07.520 --> 01:13.070 So the instinct is to try and just rip open the AFL generally in this kind of and situation. 01:13.370 --> 01:17.980 But in fact, Bobby Fisher played Meeteetse Sex of the Queen takes. 01:17.990 --> 01:20.540 We do have this kind of alignment of pieces. 01:21.470 --> 01:27.080 And is there a move which kind of taps into that with a big advantage here? 01:31.990 --> 01:40.270 OK, there is and it's again, it's not a poor move, it's just tapping into this Niek figuration overly 01:40.270 --> 01:44.120 needs downside rather than downside. 01:44.120 --> 01:52.330 The available configuration, you could say 95 and it threatens 1967 CHAC. 01:52.630 --> 01:55.720 So a mighty fork there for King, King and queen. 01:56.080 --> 02:01.420 And the snag is, if black takes, then there's that skua queen against Rook. 02:02.020 --> 02:05.350 So black actually is in a bad way here. 02:06.190 --> 02:08.940 And in fact here is an exercise for you. 02:09.460 --> 02:12.040 Puzzle situation Queen Bee seven. 02:12.640 --> 02:14.170 There's still that alignment. 02:14.410 --> 02:16.780 Isn't there a queen and rook? 02:17.500 --> 02:22.270 What would you play in this position to explain skua if I give you five seconds here? 02:25.850 --> 02:34.490 OK, you can actually play nice, safe sex chat, so they have to respond to the Bishop D5 skewering 02:34.490 --> 02:35.610 Queen against Rock. 02:36.230 --> 02:43.780 So, yeah, it's these these neat alignments can be to the opponent's downfall. 02:44.560 --> 02:52.610 So after 19th Queen 95 in the game also, by the way, I mean, let's have a look. 02:52.610 --> 02:56.110 When we hear quinsy seven is another type of tactic. 02:56.120 --> 02:57.050 I hope you can spot it. 02:57.050 --> 02:58.520 There's a witness to the last move. 02:58.850 --> 03:00.800 It has neglected the B Square. 03:01.340 --> 03:06.740 But also, you know, although the pieces are not aligned, they are kind of forkball because they're 03:06.740 --> 03:08.090 on the same color. 03:08.120 --> 03:12.020 If there's a light around and you've got pieces on the same color, yeah. 03:12.020 --> 03:16.580 Then they can come in and -- the queen and rook there. 03:16.850 --> 03:17.950 So that's no good either. 03:18.560 --> 03:18.950 Yeah. 03:18.950 --> 03:20.090 So black in the game. 03:20.090 --> 03:21.680 Tried this catch eight. 03:22.100 --> 03:23.630 We have nine takes six. 03:23.870 --> 03:30.860 And because now of this horrible bishop d5 if black recaptures yeah there will be bishop d5. 03:31.560 --> 03:32.110 Ouch. 03:33.100 --> 03:35.060 In fact this is like winning an entire year. 03:35.080 --> 03:36.740 There's not even a recapture at the end of it. 03:36.740 --> 03:39.740 It's one of those situations which is more ideal. 03:40.300 --> 03:46.850 The the most ideal winning highest winning percentage usually of obscure is when they can't even recapture 03:47.600 --> 03:53.390 when you've taken that low valued pace and they can't here immediately recapture. 03:53.390 --> 03:54.860 So that is particularly painful. 03:55.130 --> 04:00.590 So painful, in fact, that black just accepted the loss of a night and just carried on. 04:01.340 --> 04:03.980 It was a young for sure at this time, 957, pretty young. 04:04.340 --> 04:05.630 Fifty eight of us open. 04:05.960 --> 04:08.570 So blacks just played on playing on a piece down. 04:09.320 --> 04:18.560 And now another kind of kind of pin really this is are pinning the lower rated, the lower valued pace, 04:18.560 --> 04:20.090 rather, to the high value. 04:20.300 --> 04:22.730 So Fisher pens that bishop. 04:23.780 --> 04:28.610 So you can see that the pen is also, you know, the peninsula kind of related. 04:29.240 --> 04:30.770 Let's do with the line pieces. 04:30.770 --> 04:34.280 So Rook's bishops queens to do things in alignment. 04:34.670 --> 04:42.360 It's just you're being more specific where you're saying the more valuable pieces in between and there's 04:42.360 --> 04:43.280 a kind of X, right. 04:43.280 --> 04:49.790 And you still have this concept of relative skewers, an absolute scarce or relative Penns an absolute 04:49.790 --> 04:51.020 Penns here. 04:51.050 --> 04:57.320 It's a relative pin and it means that now Bishop takes forsakes as Bishop takes Rook. 04:59.090 --> 05:03.810 So the opponents just played that and now Bishop takes T7, checks away. 05:03.830 --> 05:06.860 It's just a piece up with the weakened line squares. 05:06.860 --> 05:07.820 Just your interest. 05:08.540 --> 05:13.100 The Queen is now threatening to come in Queen six and then the effects will be crushing. 05:13.640 --> 05:15.650 So Black has to do something about that. 05:15.650 --> 05:16.640 Just put that on the board. 05:17.450 --> 05:19.820 This is a little bonus, a better insight. 05:19.820 --> 05:21.500 Check and see here. 05:21.500 --> 05:22.460 Then have sex. 05:22.460 --> 05:23.450 Check will be mating. 05:24.290 --> 05:29.630 So yes, it's absolutely devastating in handling of sex. 05:29.960 --> 05:36.560 There's no easy way of defending the so black played on a few more moves, lost the sex. 05:37.190 --> 05:40.310 And, you know, it's just absolutely crushing position. 05:40.550 --> 05:41.340 And in fact, yeah. 05:41.360 --> 05:48.920 Another sweet tactic here by Fisher Queen takes f7 check, creating a nice -- in the end. 05:49.340 --> 05:57.080 Now I absolutely love Fisher James because he's a real tat's cool monster even as early as 1956, basically 05:57.080 --> 05:57.860 game in the century. 05:57.860 --> 06:02.240 And that's why if you want to check out Fisher, check out my Fisher courses. 06:02.240 --> 06:04.910 I'm absolute fan of his tactical genius. 06:05.090 --> 06:08.540 So you can see even to the very end, he didn't let the opponent off. 06:08.720 --> 06:11.660 He might use all of his tactical possibilities. 06:12.140 --> 06:17.060 And yeah, he's like Hawkeye vorst for these skua possibilities. 06:17.870 --> 06:24.860 So here Rook takes the seven and now depending on the ponies, hotsy down on zero. 06:25.400 --> 06:34.220 But yeah, the key point of the game is earlier, where our base instincts of the B5 wouldn't be immediately 06:34.610 --> 06:36.140 to look out for the skewers. 06:36.470 --> 06:37.640 But there's another way around this. 06:37.640 --> 06:40.010 You don't have to look out for alignment necessarily. 06:40.010 --> 06:43.040 Just look for, you know, prioritization of forcing moves. 06:43.040 --> 06:45.860 Sometimes the patterns give us leverage. 06:47.050 --> 06:52.350 And, you know, the census follows patterns like pieces in alignment give us leverage as well. 06:52.750 --> 06:57.880 But if we prioritize forcing those, we should be able to shackle checks, captures and threats of maintenance. 06:57.880 --> 06:59.730 So this capture should be calculated. 07:00.220 --> 07:02.130 And this this is kind of frat. 07:02.680 --> 07:05.920 It does limit the opponents replies because it is frightening. 07:05.920 --> 07:07.090 1987. 07:07.750 --> 07:14.620 And then by the process of calculation, again, if you calculate all the captures, you end up looking 07:14.620 --> 07:20.290 at 98 and then Bishop 85 is a threat which limits the opponent, implies it can be calculated, this 07:20.290 --> 07:20.650 stuff. 07:21.130 --> 07:23.560 But in the game, you just gave out a piece. 07:24.400 --> 07:29.140 So you can also in theory, you don't need, you know, any patterns, whatever. 07:30.010 --> 07:31.680 Computers don't need to be fed patterns. 07:31.960 --> 07:36.400 The reason we've had patterns where humans it's like we've got a very, very advanced kind of neural 07:36.400 --> 07:40.480 network style brain where we're given examples, examples, examples. 07:40.680 --> 07:48.040 That's why I like giving you examples, because it's kind of reinforcing, you know, our brains detection 07:48.040 --> 07:51.850 of those patterns, but also during a game. 07:51.850 --> 07:56.850 Yeah, you can do a bit of work on your calculation, prioritizing the forcing moves. 07:57.880 --> 08:03.390 So look at all the checks the captious and the frat's like of beating one or two especially. 08:03.910 --> 08:06.640 OK, so the skua kind of the behind the scenes. 08:07.240 --> 08:12.730 And let's have like just not recapturing because of the almighty score the five. 08:13.120 --> 08:15.280 OK, thanks very much.
