Hi there.

00:03.150 --> 00:09.750
In this lecture, we see an iconic example of deflection, the great make up of former world chess champion

00:09.750 --> 00:12.920
against Paul Karez, an uncrowned king of the game.

00:12.930 --> 00:15.730
He was world championship material for sure.

00:17.130 --> 00:19.700
And so here McConnell, poverty has the move.

00:19.710 --> 00:23.760
Paul Karras has just defended, crucially, the for --.

00:24.180 --> 00:27.960
If one gains access to this --, it would be menacing.

00:27.960 --> 00:28.830
What would be frightening?

00:28.830 --> 00:30.090
Kinect seven checkmates.

00:30.720 --> 00:35.000
But alas, the queen is the defensive hero for the moment.

00:35.670 --> 00:38.130
Can we make the defensive hero go on holiday?

00:38.310 --> 00:40.230
Can we deflect that pace?

00:42.320 --> 00:50.780
So deflection is a kind of removal, not removal of the offender, but in effect says it is the remove

00:50.780 --> 00:52.740
and is telling them to go away.

00:52.760 --> 00:57.600
You don't always have to remove the defender to stop performing its defensive duty.

00:57.620 --> 01:01.990
We can't remove the queen, but we can persuade the queen to go on holiday.

01:02.900 --> 01:05.820
So that's also very, very useful here.

01:06.020 --> 01:08.050
How do we do that in this position?

01:08.450 --> 01:15.480
So if I give you five cents for the video, can you see an amazing iconic diffraction move, suspend

01:15.530 --> 01:16.670
as long as you want to find this?

01:16.670 --> 01:20.070
This is a really classic example.

01:21.540 --> 01:22.100
OK.

01:24.790 --> 01:31.960
Now, when you when I say check who checks, captures and frets about one, there might not be any checks.

01:31.960 --> 01:34.850
But second best sometimes is checks on the queen.

01:35.140 --> 01:37.240
They are valuable tempo gainer's.

01:37.690 --> 01:39.940
They kind of limit the opponent's replies.

01:40.360 --> 01:43.570
And here for sure, we're not just gaining a tempo with this next move.

01:43.810 --> 01:46.750
We're using a deflection and it's the eight.

01:46.850 --> 01:53.350
Deflecting the Queen away from each for the Queen hasn't got easier because the night

01:56.350 --> 01:59.670
has not have sex, because the night has not g5 because the bishop.

02:00.250 --> 02:03.310
So the Queen is forced away from age for.

02:05.290 --> 02:12.250
And the game actually ended here, if Queen Saxbe ain't Queen age four is decisive, how can Black actually

02:12.250 --> 02:13.840
defend H7?

02:15.760 --> 02:18.070
Black can try and check, but just catch one.

02:18.190 --> 02:23.850
There's no more checks here, which are any any use, if not G5, that's the last straw.

02:24.640 --> 02:31.270
But just Bishop Jakes G5 eliminating that defender and we're going to be checkmating.

02:31.990 --> 02:38.680
You know, if I quit Eighty-seven check and I could make this case cause covered by two pieces, the

02:38.680 --> 02:40.690
Knights and the bishop here.

02:41.920 --> 02:51.400
So it's a very neat deflection stall tactic, which is heavily celebrated as a major example.

02:51.670 --> 02:53.940
Rootbeer, it's a beauty for sure.

02:54.090 --> 02:58.240
Hope you spotted it and found that interesting and insightful.

02:58.480 --> 03:00.010
OK, thanks so much.
