00:01.200 --> 00:01.850
Hi there.

00:02.280 --> 00:04.830
In this lecture, we see a pain being exploited.

00:05.040 --> 00:11.100
Can you find the right move to exploit a pain in this position if I give you five seconds to pause the

00:11.100 --> 00:11.490
video?

00:13.920 --> 00:19.500
OK, the power of the pen, peaceful pawns illusionary, so hopefully you've identified that this pawn

00:19.500 --> 00:21.690
is actually penned absolutely.

00:22.020 --> 00:23.150
To the king.

00:24.030 --> 00:25.220
Can we make use of that?

00:25.980 --> 00:31.890
Can we celebrate those illusionary squares which the pawn is not really protecting?

00:32.880 --> 00:36.050
Because those are real, actual downsides of the opponent's position.

00:36.600 --> 00:43.180
For example, this square is not really being protected if something took that pawn off.

00:43.590 --> 00:45.840
This point is not going to be able to recapture.

00:46.890 --> 00:49.220
So I hope you've spotted the first move.

00:49.230 --> 00:50.880
It looks as though our Brooks attacks, though.

00:50.880 --> 00:53.820
Hold on our rogues attack that we want to move the rook.

00:58.340 --> 01:00.450
The thing is, if we take time to move the rug.

01:02.200 --> 01:05.680
Sometimes opponents can really ruin our plans.

01:07.770 --> 01:11.910
So there might be a strong move than actually addressing this France.

01:14.830 --> 01:19.840
And that stronger move is actually Quig says, yes, letting it hadn't even taken its high road buys

01:19.840 --> 01:22.420
us some time in effect.

01:23.170 --> 01:25.920
So they take our rook off the King G2.

01:26.650 --> 01:29.620
They can't really check us too much from here.

01:29.650 --> 01:36.370
They can only find Rody to check or maybe Jiwon equally pointless after King Jeoffrey, they're going

01:36.370 --> 01:37.300
to run out of checks.

01:38.170 --> 01:40.880
Their queen is on the line, square and blocked in.

01:41.740 --> 01:44.740
So what checks that I have either Ruchi 083.

01:45.640 --> 01:46.870
So let's say we're free.

01:46.870 --> 01:54.970
We just take with the pawn to leave our queen on six and how black actually handle this frat's of queen

01:54.970 --> 01:58.960
size six mating you might think.

01:58.970 --> 02:01.270
Oh well maybe it's not mating.

02:01.270 --> 02:03.940
Maybe you know the bishop moves.

02:03.940 --> 02:09.310
Yeah it's still actually chapei here because the pawn actually controls the escape square.

02:09.820 --> 02:10.750
That is checkmate.

02:13.180 --> 02:14.740
So you might want to hold on King's Cross.

02:14.770 --> 02:18.130
This is all a bit flash is in this all about flash?

02:19.090 --> 02:24.070
What if we just did move the rook wouldn't we've had time bronze thing.

02:25.150 --> 02:27.790
He is an uncrowned king of the game.

02:28.600 --> 02:30.550
He had a very close match against makeable.

02:30.820 --> 02:36.910
And he said quite often the player with the move is in a great position and that is a big advantage

02:36.910 --> 02:37.720
to have the move.

02:38.020 --> 02:43.450
If he has the move here, they can actually maybe cause some issues.

02:44.080 --> 02:47.530
If you give them the time to have a move, then Queen D7.

02:47.710 --> 02:53.430
This is why it's quite good to keep things forcing, limiting the opponents replies so queen D7.

02:53.440 --> 02:59.530
And now all of a sudden the hold on check and we've got complications here.

03:00.100 --> 03:02.950
If we play here, you know Bishop see five check.

03:03.880 --> 03:06.370
And is this so clear now.

03:07.090 --> 03:08.560
It's not entirely clear is it.

03:09.190 --> 03:10.150
We're going to be Penns.

03:11.110 --> 03:11.780
This isn't right.

03:11.780 --> 03:16.700
Clever Bishop takes effort to check and here they can even unbend.

03:16.700 --> 03:18.400
Now with Queen takes E5.

03:18.400 --> 03:20.200
What a total disaster.

03:21.010 --> 03:26.080
So yes, sometimes being flash is also being pragmatic.

03:26.620 --> 03:32.440
If you severely limit the opponent's replies that Queen's allowed to centralize in this position.

03:32.440 --> 03:39.370
If we move on Rook, you can see we could be swindells here when we had this delightful queen Gesang.

03:39.520 --> 03:44.170
Absolutely delightful with the Queen still asleep on C8.

03:45.310 --> 03:49.480
So these tactics, sometimes they're not just flash, they aren't actually essential.

03:50.790 --> 03:57.060
Rather than plain vanilla, we call them plain vanilla moves sometimes are inferior to flashy moves

03:57.300 --> 03:58.540
like leaving a rock hanging.

03:59.010 --> 04:00.860
It trades off a little bit of time.

04:01.770 --> 04:06.310
Time can be of the essence, especially if the Queens friends come and centralize and start checking

04:06.310 --> 04:06.510
you.

04:07.500 --> 04:11.660
So I hope you enjoyed this example and got some points from it so much.
