WEBVTT 00:00.930 --> 00:01.580 Hi there. 00:02.970 --> 00:11.640 This actually shows an absolutely fascinating position where there seems to be no discovery, attacks 00:11.640 --> 00:12.380 in sight. 00:14.100 --> 00:22.230 If that's why would we even want to create or set up a potential discovery when, for example, we have 00:22.230 --> 00:29.970 a view on this road, we have a view on our site and it's adequately guarded, he Efate, the bishop, 00:29.970 --> 00:34.610 is adequately guarded and there's nothing we could do about that. 00:34.620 --> 00:35.220 Or is that? 00:37.660 --> 00:45.100 So Richard Reti, one of the leading hyper modernists, they were called, was death because they found 00:45.100 --> 00:47.690 useful exceptions to establish theory. 00:47.710 --> 00:53.000 So Richard Reti, for example, didn't like just following the standard principles. 00:53.000 --> 00:58.790 He invented some new ones, which are very useful exceptions, like attacking the center from afar. 00:59.350 --> 01:05.370 He was also also a major tactician and so he could actually prove some of his ideas. 01:05.380 --> 01:13.540 And here there's an absolutely gorgeous tactical combination he made use of and the discovery of facts. 01:14.470 --> 01:25.540 That he creates actually kind of amplifies this road of attack, it makes F.A.A. in particular, significantly 01:25.750 --> 01:26.400 weaker. 01:27.250 --> 01:33.920 Just two moves from white to really special moves makes Efate extremely vulnerable. 01:34.750 --> 01:38.060 Can you see the first move if I give you five seconds for the video? 01:42.130 --> 01:47.320 OK, we can kind that kind of force a weakness of the last move by playing a check. 01:48.010 --> 01:49.390 It seems a little bit pedantic. 01:49.400 --> 01:50.610 The king just goes there. 01:50.740 --> 01:51.580 What's really happened? 01:52.070 --> 01:57.340 Well, the king is actually is actually now more vulnerable anyway. 01:58.180 --> 02:03.640 In general, in the corner, generally, if you put the opponents kings in a corner, they're more likely 02:03.640 --> 02:05.380 in general to be in trouble. 02:06.130 --> 02:07.090 Now, here it looks as though. 02:07.090 --> 02:11.260 Hold on, OK, AFAIK, it's still protected by the rook, though. 02:13.300 --> 02:16.960 But this is where an amazing discover the tag. 02:18.410 --> 02:24.030 Kind of features a disconnection tactic as well. 02:24.830 --> 02:29.090 We're in a world of disconnections with the Internet and this kind of disconnection tactic as well as 02:29.090 --> 02:31.340 the discovery attack. 02:32.990 --> 02:39.590 In fact, when we think about the scale of the tax, we think about kind of liberating pieces, secretly 02:39.590 --> 02:44.090 liberating pieces, but can you also secretly close up? 02:45.540 --> 02:46.170 Pieces. 02:48.690 --> 02:55.170 Blog pieces secretly with this coverage at the same time, so there's a key move here which is so powerful 02:55.560 --> 02:58.470 it just wins and all variations by force. 03:00.260 --> 03:02.840 If I give you five seconds, pause video, can you find out? 03:09.380 --> 03:18.290 OK, it's actually Bishop AIDS, so, yeah, we're discovering an attack now on Efate by moving that 03:18.290 --> 03:23.150 bishop, but the bishop movement itself has also cut off the rook from. 03:24.350 --> 03:28.130 So in just two moves, FAA is being kind of fatally weakened here. 03:28.990 --> 03:32.800 Why it has huge Freda's now like Queen Saints, Efate threatening. 03:32.810 --> 03:33.860 You know, that's a checkmate. 03:34.550 --> 03:35.390 What can Black do? 03:35.390 --> 03:36.980 Have the game actually ended here? 03:37.940 --> 03:44.540 If Queen seven, then because we've got this battery, we can just batter down with the battery, the 03:44.540 --> 03:45.150 effort. 03:45.170 --> 03:46.760 Bishop, and it's checkmate. 03:49.610 --> 03:51.800 If Bishop takes five, this is check. 03:52.910 --> 03:55.160 The snag is now. 03:55.430 --> 04:04.040 If Black wants to regain control, there's a fight or queena fight even more funny in a normal practical 04:04.040 --> 04:04.310 game. 04:04.310 --> 04:11.300 By the way, if you want to use the rock instead in general, just in case there's a flaw, you don't 04:11.300 --> 04:12.230 always have to be flashy. 04:12.230 --> 04:14.240 Just use the rook and all game. 04:14.570 --> 04:16.840 It's less risky, less less prone to regret. 04:18.020 --> 04:19.370 So that would be a checkmate there. 04:21.590 --> 04:22.010 So, yeah. 04:22.010 --> 04:27.200 Bishop, E.A. is an absolutely crushing blow in this position. 04:27.590 --> 04:37.310 Bishop Eighty-seven, guess what we play here, OK, we play Queen Efate check and we do a background 04:37.550 --> 04:38.150 check mate. 04:39.050 --> 04:39.470 So yeah. 04:39.470 --> 04:47.450 Bishop AIDS, it's peculiar the whole thing here, because because it looks as though, you know, black 04:47.450 --> 04:48.560 was fairly solid. 04:48.890 --> 04:52.310 Sometimes things are not as solid as they seem. 04:52.790 --> 05:00.250 As you become a tactical monster, the slightest little tactical downside can seemingly, you know, 05:00.260 --> 05:01.880 spell disaster. 05:02.120 --> 05:07.550 So things are not often as solid as they seem so plain. 05:07.550 --> 05:09.830 Suddenly a source tells you to play well. 05:09.830 --> 05:17.060 Suddenly it's actually hard to do that without a detailed tactical investigation of what is actually 05:17.060 --> 05:17.990 being threatened. 05:18.890 --> 05:19.460 You know what? 05:19.460 --> 05:22.640 Can you threaten the relative stability of positions? 05:22.640 --> 05:29.960 It really you can only actually become a solid player, in my view, if you are aware, to a much higher 05:29.960 --> 05:33.830 level of all the tactical finesses in a position. 05:34.190 --> 05:38.270 So anyway, yeah, it seems, you know, Bishop F7 incurs a weakness of the loss. 05:38.280 --> 05:44.660 Both the bishop is both a disconnection tactic and a discovery tactic for the price of one two for the 05:44.660 --> 05:50.900 price of one disconnecting date from Efate kind of disconnection tactic and a liberating tactic liberating 05:50.900 --> 05:55.460 the queen again after it was kind of rudely blocked in. 05:55.460 --> 06:00.580 You know, we were like blocking our own queen, but it actually did weaken and it will temper. 06:00.620 --> 06:04.350 It did weaken the fray in a way, because the king moved to an even worse. 06:04.460 --> 06:05.750 I did weaken Efate. 06:06.110 --> 06:07.670 So, yeah, a crushing combination. 06:07.910 --> 06:12.530 And this game got a brilliancy prize at the time in this particular tournament, New York, Tilghman's 06:12.530 --> 06:15.020 1924 around twelve. 06:15.170 --> 06:19.010 OK, I enjoyed that and so much.
