WEBVTT 00:01.110 --> 00:07.980 Hi there in this thing, we see Magnus Carlsen on Current World Chess Champion at the time of this recording 00:08.520 --> 00:11.200 against Vishy Anand, a possible chess champion. 00:11.370 --> 00:13.110 So both fantastic players. 00:13.560 --> 00:17.130 This is in 2009, the Norris tournament, round six. 00:17.310 --> 00:24.300 So Magnus to play plays an absolutely amazing move, totally amazing move. 00:25.110 --> 00:26.970 And it's the powers in the follow up. 00:27.660 --> 00:32.870 And you have to kind of be incentivized in my view, to see the scoring possibilities. 00:33.600 --> 00:36.120 It helps to be intuitive about things. 00:36.120 --> 00:43.260 Sometimes there's also a very dangerous passport and the great champions are absolutely phenomenal with 00:43.260 --> 00:44.010 passports. 00:44.010 --> 00:50.430 Passports represent a huge winning probability for you as they threaten to queen later. 00:51.390 --> 00:56.950 So the scope for being tactically resourceful revolving around passports is huge. 00:57.490 --> 01:00.320 So here, what do you think Magnus played in this position? 01:00.780 --> 01:02.850 The bishop seems to be under attack. 01:03.270 --> 01:06.060 So we have different options when we're threatened. 01:06.420 --> 01:08.760 So we need to be aware of the facts for sure. 01:10.200 --> 01:11.060 But what do we do? 01:11.070 --> 01:12.900 Do we just simply parry the France? 01:12.900 --> 01:19.770 Do we make a bigger threat or do we play a hopefully a winning combination of brilliant winning combination 01:20.400 --> 01:21.720 so Hare won't play? 01:25.310 --> 01:30.310 Now, the answer in this course, usually to the opponent frightening, is to play a brilliant combination 01:30.430 --> 01:34.870 and here there is one and it starts with age seven and you might think. 01:36.070 --> 01:40.410 Wow, really, doesn't that just take the bishop? 01:40.840 --> 01:41.330 Sure. 01:42.820 --> 01:45.940 And what's being skewered, it seems nothing skewered. 01:48.740 --> 01:57.110 Wow, there is a key move here, we'd like a secure for example, imagine the rook was wasn't the for 01:57.470 --> 02:03.320 here it was on 87 then in theory we could have Rokeby seven chac picking up the rook. 02:03.320 --> 02:03.710 Right. 02:06.860 --> 02:13.220 So is there a move which kind of really encourages the rook to be on Eighty-seven. 02:13.220 --> 02:18.680 So we have that lovely alignment of king and rook and we can secure. 02:20.870 --> 02:26.690 Yes, I am Greek and we do like Kakababu skewers folks and so it seems to be food related to me about 02:26.700 --> 02:27.860 food's another passion. 02:28.220 --> 02:29.060 I don't know. 02:29.060 --> 02:31.560 You can relate it to food if you're a food fanatic as well. 02:32.030 --> 02:35.470 So anyway, here, how can we secure a nice little skewer here? 02:35.780 --> 02:36.890 How can we create one? 02:38.600 --> 02:41.770 OK, there's a subtle crushing move here, which is appropriate. 02:42.860 --> 02:44.810 This is so much stronger than anything else. 02:44.810 --> 02:45.530 Ruby seven. 02:45.710 --> 02:46.610 We just be losing. 02:46.610 --> 02:47.990 They just play kinky sex. 02:48.470 --> 02:53.930 And the work is ideally placed behind the, you know, dangerous --, keeping it under kind of lock 02:53.930 --> 02:57.260 and key systems, which would say implacably winning there. 02:57.260 --> 02:59.350 But because we play rugby right now. 03:00.050 --> 03:00.810 How was black? 03:00.830 --> 03:04.520 Actually, it's supporting that queening square. 03:05.660 --> 03:07.100 So the Freda's now is high. 03:07.220 --> 03:13.870 And in fact, this Neuk can't actually even access H.H. can't do something in one move to stop that. 03:14.660 --> 03:21.650 So in fact, black plays Ninety-four here. 03:22.730 --> 03:28.720 If Rook takes 87, then we do have our alignments that we're looking out for to secure the opponent 03:28.720 --> 03:30.730 to check and we just take there. 03:31.820 --> 03:40.850 So Ninety-four was tried and in fact, Magnus took time out here very, very relaxed about this position. 03:41.510 --> 03:45.110 He doesn't want to allow this knight to be taking at the end of this. 03:45.110 --> 03:46.670 He doesn't even queen immediately. 03:47.060 --> 03:55.280 He takes time out to protect this pawn, leaving again black in this problematic situation of how to 03:55.280 --> 03:56.570 stop eighty-eight queening. 03:59.070 --> 04:02.790 And in fact, she didn't end up in the sky. 04:02.830 --> 04:09.460 He actually played by CNN's Larry King, desex the --'s queen and went on to win from this position 04:09.480 --> 04:10.320 exchange up. 04:10.540 --> 04:11.400 It's called the exchange up. 04:11.400 --> 04:15.990 When you have rook against a minor piece, heavy piece, major piece against the bishop is called the 04:15.990 --> 04:18.600 exchange up went on to win from this position. 04:19.170 --> 04:24.840 But if instead of King DCX, you know, Rook takes seven. 04:25.800 --> 04:29.690 Then they're neatly aligned pieces and you should be on the lookout for that. 04:30.420 --> 04:36.210 You know, these little differences in your intuition and training for the tactical ideas could make 04:36.210 --> 04:38.550 all the difference when you're winning and losing a game. 04:39.840 --> 04:44.040 So you know, the track and picking up the rock would be winning as well. 04:46.140 --> 04:52.440 So, yeah, the skua played a vital role behind the scenes here for this little Angang combination, 04:52.740 --> 04:58.200 just leaving that bishop seemingly absurdly hanging just by playing seven. 04:58.200 --> 05:05.040 So passports are very, very dangerous things and can lead to these amazing scoring possibilities. 05:05.460 --> 05:13.350 Even in the end, game tactics pervade all parts of the game, opening mental game and game, especially 05:13.350 --> 05:20.190 when you have passports, the ability to be tactically resourceful and leverage these patterns, which 05:20.190 --> 05:21.740 you might think are reserved for the mental game. 05:21.870 --> 05:22.530 No, they're not. 05:22.530 --> 05:26.520 They're in all stages of the game as this shows, especially when passports are involved. 05:26.850 --> 05:32.490 The stakes are high to do something with passport or black to the opponent to react. 05:32.970 --> 05:35.730 So, yeah, a crushing little combination here with Rokeby eight. 05:36.090 --> 05:39.000 There's no easy way for Black to respond here. 05:40.170 --> 05:41.910 OK, I hope you enjoyed this one. 05:41.910 --> 05:42.860 Got some points from it. 05:43.750 --> 05:44.440 Thanks so much.
