WEBVTT 00:01.110 --> 00:01.890 Hi there. 00:02.430 --> 00:09.000 In this lecture, we're going to introduce the so-called Clarance tactic, so sometimes our own pieces 00:09.000 --> 00:13.260 are getting in the way of things, our own pieces, all kind of disconnecting. 00:14.950 --> 00:20.320 Ourselves from certain connections, which would have been valuable here. 00:20.920 --> 00:27.090 So what is a valuable connection in this position, which is blocked up at the moment? 00:28.270 --> 00:31.780 If you think about this position, you know what? 00:31.780 --> 00:39.730 If you had a connection like this, so you're kind of imagining glorious connections, dreaming about 00:39.730 --> 00:40.140 them. 00:41.170 --> 00:47.280 But unfortunately, because our bishop is there only five, we've been kind of disconnected. 00:47.980 --> 00:53.530 We've imposed the bishop actually imposes our own kind of interference. 00:54.070 --> 00:59.950 You know, the opponent could have put something in between to interfere this connection. 00:59.950 --> 01:05.530 But in fact, we're doing that while Saltaire sometimes we want a clearance tactic to clear our own 01:05.530 --> 01:12.160 pieces out of the way to disconnect so we get these important, amazing connections in place. 01:12.580 --> 01:13.340 Can we do that? 01:13.390 --> 01:14.380 How can you see it? 01:15.090 --> 01:16.180 A forcing move. 01:16.600 --> 01:25.120 If you prioritize forcing moves which limit the appellants replies, they are often more effective than 01:25.120 --> 01:26.330 plain vanilla moves in hand. 01:26.350 --> 01:34.200 There is actually a forcing move which takes that dream of opening that connection and makes it a reality. 01:34.210 --> 01:35.500 Can you see what that move is? 01:35.770 --> 01:36.790 If I give you five seconds? 01:36.790 --> 01:37.480 Pause Viniar. 01:41.810 --> 01:42.350 OK. 01:45.980 --> 01:50.280 Bishop Seven opens up the connection between Efrem eight. 01:53.870 --> 01:59.270 And it's with temperatures hitting the queen, it's like check to the queen, it's not an attack to 01:59.270 --> 02:00.500 the queen, it's not really a champion. 02:00.500 --> 02:02.050 It's a high priority forcing move. 02:03.410 --> 02:09.020 And what is planned to hear if plan takes, then we have actually what you can just queen. 02:09.020 --> 02:10.530 We don't even need Rukia, Jack. 02:11.030 --> 02:14.930 We can just queen that winning the queen on Queen. 02:16.310 --> 02:20.930 And if you take the rook, then indeed we can use this amazing connection. 02:20.930 --> 02:24.710 We've established rookie Achak and then take off the opponents queen. 02:25.610 --> 02:28.420 So yeah, it's pretty devastating in the game actually. 02:28.430 --> 02:32.870 No Air Force try it kind of spike check. 02:32.870 --> 02:34.670 It's not really doing much. 02:34.670 --> 02:36.440 This is sometimes called a spy check. 02:36.650 --> 02:37.640 Really doesn't do much. 02:38.840 --> 02:40.490 Fisher just played. 02:40.880 --> 02:46.820 So Bobby Fisher was playing what you just played King AF1 and you know that connection is still open, 02:47.180 --> 02:48.440 the queen still intact. 02:48.860 --> 02:52.370 There's no time really for black to disconnect here. 02:52.520 --> 02:55.400 This connection, black resigned in 96. 02:55.400 --> 02:59.930 We can actually just wipe that, you know, Route 66, because that's we're still hating the queen. 03:00.290 --> 03:05.330 We play Route 66 and it's still the same devastating effect. 03:05.330 --> 03:11.240 We've reestablished that rook to eight Idil move for that connection. 03:12.230 --> 03:16.330 So, yeah, it's a crushing recession here. 03:16.700 --> 03:19.640 Black resigned, in fact, in this position. 03:20.900 --> 03:28.370 But I hope you get the idea that sometimes you want to establish connections between your pieces and 03:28.370 --> 03:34.490 key squares and sometimes your own pieces are getting in the way of that connection, or sometimes they 03:34.490 --> 03:38.020 can actually be occupying a key square you might want to go to. 03:38.630 --> 03:45.380 So clearance is like carrying your own pieces out of the way to establish important connections. 03:46.610 --> 03:51.390 OK, so in a way, it's a little bit of a related to. 03:54.020 --> 03:59.870 To interference when you're interfering with connections, especially in your opponent's positions, 04:00.140 --> 04:06.450 hey, you're carrying out for your own purposes to be connected in certain ways to key squares. 04:07.640 --> 04:09.190 OK, that's much.
