Hi there in this lecture, we have this position where black play, the movie's so powerful that White

00:08.820 --> 00:09.990
had to resign.

00:10.590 --> 00:11.950
I wonder if you can find that movie.

00:11.950 --> 00:13.710
I'll give you five seconds to pause the video.

00:15.570 --> 00:18.310
It's actually forcing a checkmate with best play.

00:18.930 --> 00:20.520
It doesn't matter what white dance.

00:20.520 --> 00:23.790
You can't move here, which, believe it or not, force is checkmate.

00:27.850 --> 00:38.260
OK, the move kind of forces a deflection of the rook away from after its Bishop Jiwon, it's actually

00:38.260 --> 00:41.410
threatening immediately, Rupesh to checkmate.

00:43.360 --> 00:50.560
The snag is why he has to resign, actually, because well, just to put things on the board of 92,

00:50.560 --> 00:54.090
just to show this is checkmate, the queen has to run.

00:55.450 --> 01:02.370
And if rotates, that weakens F2 and White has had it because of this.

01:02.590 --> 01:03.070
Guess what?

01:03.070 --> 01:08.460
Black plays here because blacks now got access to that key square.

01:08.890 --> 01:15.490
So that's what the election's all around all about, kind of getting access to key squares or pawns

01:15.490 --> 01:16.260
or pieces.

01:17.080 --> 01:23.170
So the defensive piece has been lured away not too far from the area.

01:23.170 --> 01:30.250
But just so long as we get access to F2, though, which we have now, we can play and the rook H2 check.

01:32.960 --> 01:40.200
You know, check who checks the magic is there on the chess board, so the king has to take Anel Queen

01:40.200 --> 01:44.660
off to check, which we got access to is used.

01:45.600 --> 01:54.060
And if King H1 number eight is checkmate and the same with Ruggie to rule.

01:54.280 --> 01:55.560
Right, it's checkmate.

01:57.060 --> 02:03.660
So the key move which won the game, Bishop Geebung, kind of deflects to work away from a key defensive

02:03.660 --> 02:10.440
square, which means that the Queen has a great influence on this diagram, especially after it comes

02:10.440 --> 02:11.920
in very, very handy.

02:13.140 --> 02:16.100
So, yeah, whatever one does once had it.

02:16.110 --> 02:17.430
So let's look again.

02:17.430 --> 02:24.780
Rook G1 Rook takes do you want to check and the queen swoops in and helps checkmate opponents.

02:24.780 --> 02:26.130
Can I.

02:26.280 --> 02:29.850
You like that one and found it ok.

02:30.210 --> 02:30.840
Not so much.
