WEBVTT 00:01.230 --> 00:03.180 Hi there, Ms. 00:03.210 --> 00:09.310 Actually, we see another very interesting example of an undermining tactic or removing the defender. 00:09.990 --> 00:15.390 So if you think about it, any kind of undermine, even if it was just pawns against pawns, pawns undermining 00:15.390 --> 00:20.760 a pawn chain, you kind of removing a defensive part of a pawn, trying to gain access to key squares 00:20.760 --> 00:23.100 or pawns later on in the pawn chain. 00:23.880 --> 00:31.140 So this kind of tactic is kind of often just winning squares, though, which you can immediately kind 00:31.140 --> 00:32.030 of make use of. 00:32.670 --> 00:38.310 So here, can you see a great way of undermining tactically the opponents position? 00:38.970 --> 00:42.390 So if I give you five seconds, pause video, what would you play in this position? 00:47.350 --> 00:58.600 OK, we can actually remove the defender maintains, and this takes out this essentially weakens both 00:59.230 --> 01:02.140 Adrian Afri, we've kind of undermined those Quas. 01:03.990 --> 01:11.520 And these are great entry points for certain pieces, and here we can actually play how you can spot 01:11.520 --> 01:11.710 it. 01:12.780 --> 01:14.730 We can play our bishop and free jack. 01:14.730 --> 01:16.670 And this is very, very dangerous point. 01:17.880 --> 01:27.360 If the king steps to H1, then we can use Afri as well, which we've also undermined our meeting on 01:27.360 --> 01:27.870 G2. 01:29.610 --> 01:30.870 So, yeah, very, very dangerous. 01:30.870 --> 01:39.030 If King Jiwon then Quinsy six Jack and it's going to be Mayne's pretty shortly, so. 01:41.100 --> 01:46.350 Whites of the country actually stepped out with King Jeffrey, 01:49.830 --> 01:50.940 so here. 01:55.240 --> 02:01.750 If, by the way, let's have a look at Tut's age of King takes 83, there's Queen and free Jack King, 02:01.750 --> 02:02.650 age four. 02:02.650 --> 02:07.480 And can you see what black can play in this position, which will be mating? 02:09.360 --> 02:15.930 Check all checks and you should hopefully discover Bishop, the check, so that's going to be amazing 02:15.930 --> 02:19.940 after, say, this Bishop 65 to me. 02:20.400 --> 02:25.650 So yeah, basically the king tried that King Jeffrey. 02:27.060 --> 02:29.670 Now here, it's a very, very interesting move, actually. 02:29.670 --> 02:30.510 Kind of subtle. 02:32.610 --> 02:36.780 This is a bit hard to find, kind of hard to find. 02:37.650 --> 02:43.340 Perhaps if I give you five seconds here, what would you put in this position? 02:46.340 --> 02:54.590 You really want to have access that access to age four, that's a clue that is there any moves which 02:54.590 --> 02:57.410 might give you access to age for kind of rapidly? 03:01.370 --> 03:10.820 OK, yeah, this Frattini's I'm waiting to, you know, check and then, like, there would be meit's, 03:11.450 --> 03:18.440 so that is a high priority kind of forcing in effect, especially severely limits the opponents replies. 03:19.730 --> 03:25.640 So EFORE was tried here to try and give the king some room. 03:27.890 --> 03:33.650 But now Queen and for Jack Cafferty and I hope you can spot. 03:35.790 --> 03:37.120 Answer me from here. 03:37.150 --> 03:41.920 Can you it's a kind of amazing to her, so blacks playing. 03:46.040 --> 03:51.720 OK, cueing for Jack Kemp to now Bishop 84 is checkmate. 03:52.640 --> 03:59.870 Yep, all the escape squads have been taken out and it's Jack, so that's a lovely little configuration 03:59.870 --> 04:00.380 at the end. 04:00.860 --> 04:06.740 So it all started with an amazing kind of tactic, removing the defender, which kind of undermines, 04:06.740 --> 04:10.220 in effect, two key squares. 04:10.400 --> 04:14.000 And in fact, both of those feature in some of the variations. 04:15.410 --> 04:23.540 So when we undermine or remove the defender, just kind of undermining either like literally occupier's 04:23.540 --> 04:28.850 like pieces or pawns or you'll gain access to key squares you otherwise wouldn't have had access to. 04:29.210 --> 04:35.600 And that could lead to winning in a quite, you know, quite crushing manner like this example shows. 04:35.990 --> 04:37.060 So Knight takes Geto. 04:37.070 --> 04:39.160 Very, very cute move indeed. 04:40.240 --> 04:43.610 I hope you enjoyed that and got some points from that and so much.
