WEBVTT 00:01.260 --> 00:08.940 Hi there in this very high profile example, Vishy Anand was playing against Garry Kasparov and it seems 00:09.330 --> 00:11.130 all is kind of lost here. 00:11.160 --> 00:17.360 In fact, it seems as though Vishy Anand is being crushed, but it is a blitz blitzing cancer. 00:17.400 --> 00:21.390 And the faster the time patrols, more outrageous things can happen. 00:22.440 --> 00:27.600 And there's an expression in chess, no game was ever won with resigning. 00:28.050 --> 00:30.960 You'll win probability, go to zero when you resign. 00:31.410 --> 00:40.170 So Vishy actually was hoping maybe for a nasty TASC tactical accident and it was delivered. 00:40.500 --> 00:48.090 Kasparov in this position played Queen takes every there were so many moves, which actually has a massive 00:48.090 --> 00:49.620 advantage, like F five. 00:51.770 --> 00:57.140 At this level, this is it's just a massive advantage if you can't afford three, four, five, one, 00:57.140 --> 00:59.200 two, three, four, five, six, seven. 00:59.780 --> 01:05.120 And not only that, as a form pawn here, which is one of my favorite pawns, it's like a go hanging 01:05.660 --> 01:06.050 pawn. 01:06.260 --> 01:11.590 So it's a massive advantage on our five also, you know, black just castling. 01:11.600 --> 01:14.440 It's a massive advantage or take in the night. 01:14.450 --> 01:17.130 It's a massive advantage or even Lightsey free. 01:17.180 --> 01:19.050 All of these are massive advantages. 01:19.070 --> 01:26.930 It's Garry Kasparov, but he actually played Queen takes every guess what white can actually turn tables 01:26.930 --> 01:27.220 here. 01:27.470 --> 01:30.890 So this is the both, you know, former world chess champion, especially. 01:30.890 --> 01:32.450 Anand's an amazing world chess champion. 01:32.690 --> 01:37.760 Garry Kasparov, not only an amazing world chess champion, many regard him as the strongest player 01:37.760 --> 01:38.890 of all time. 01:39.680 --> 01:48.600 So you can't get a more high profile, for example, here than this one world champions meet. 01:49.100 --> 01:50.840 So what do you think White played here? 01:51.410 --> 01:53.930 And Garry Kasparov was visibly annoyed. 01:56.700 --> 02:02.160 So if I give you five seconds to pause video, can you spot anything on the forking or double attack 02:02.880 --> 02:03.660 kind of pattern? 02:06.830 --> 02:08.450 A double attack, technically. 02:09.540 --> 02:10.300 By the way. 02:11.710 --> 02:18.340 Can be when you make a move and it's it happens to be there's two attacks on your parents position, 02:18.340 --> 02:25.180 they might come at you from different places like, you know, technical nuance, which you don't really 02:25.180 --> 02:27.880 need to know about, but if you're interested. 02:28.510 --> 02:32.910 So anyway, this is a kind of four double attack. 02:32.920 --> 02:35.230 They can be used quite often interchangeably. 02:35.230 --> 02:36.690 The terms for called double take. 02:37.150 --> 02:44.140 So do we have any kind of full or double attack here basically with the same piece that's actually. 02:47.160 --> 02:49.070 More than two things attacked. 02:49.240 --> 02:49.860 With this announcement. 02:49.890 --> 02:55.680 It's so powerful, so when you have a move which does so much, it's like overwhelming to the opponent 02:56.010 --> 02:57.480 and it's Queen 64. 02:58.000 --> 03:02.730 So as one of the principle move, which we've played, which, you know, if you're playing online, 03:02.730 --> 03:04.290 you will be distracted by the move play. 03:04.300 --> 03:07.160 But look at the effects on the whole position. 03:07.170 --> 03:11.910 The first golden thing I talk about when calculating, let's look at the whole possession of facts, 03:11.910 --> 03:14.580 not just where you've moved the discovery of facts. 03:14.970 --> 03:17.070 And there is a discovery on the queen as well. 03:17.090 --> 03:24.030 So in effect, in effect, the queen has attacked the rookies, attacked the bishop, is attacked or 03:24.030 --> 03:24.840 with one move. 03:24.960 --> 03:29.320 And unfortunate because part of the knights is protecting that rook. 03:29.370 --> 03:30.560 There's no queen takes rook. 03:32.130 --> 03:41.730 So, yes, Small has to make a Kazakh concession here, and it enabled Vishy Anand to get back in the 03:41.730 --> 03:42.150 game. 03:44.810 --> 03:48.840 Kasparov just canceled and lost his queen. 03:48.860 --> 03:54.750 And later in the game, there were there were no moves after essentially what was back in with a shot. 03:56.240 --> 04:05.840 So, yeah, and the kind of ingredients for this double attack is an unprotected piece on C8 That's 04:05.840 --> 04:08.840 why, you know, a lot of these other moves are actually including castling. 04:08.840 --> 04:14.380 They're actually, you know, not defend their thing, just the act of casting sometimes make sure looks 04:14.390 --> 04:22.610 defend each other so your rooks are less prone to being attacked if they're not fundamentally undefended. 04:23.210 --> 04:29.480 You know, when you have these theoretical downsides, you know, the double attack is one of the ways 04:29.480 --> 04:38.060 in which the opponent will expose those theoretical downsides, you know, so just counseling, there's 04:38.060 --> 04:38.780 no problem. 04:40.350 --> 04:41.310 No problem at all. 04:41.340 --> 04:46.980 And also this, what we see here is also a weakness of the last move that queen takes, although, you 04:46.980 --> 04:53.610 know, glorious looking, any move you'll find in chess and the stronger the opponent, you'll be also 04:53.880 --> 04:57.280 intimidated psychologically by huge ratings and reputations. 04:57.540 --> 04:59.520 But just remember, they have to make a move. 04:59.790 --> 05:02.580 And when they make a move, there's always a weakness of the last move. 05:02.820 --> 05:05.240 This is the first golden principle I like to emphasize. 05:05.550 --> 05:10.470 You're looking out for weaknesses of the last, but it doesn't matter who they are, what their reputation 05:10.470 --> 05:13.570 is, if they're world champion, don't worry about it. 05:14.710 --> 05:18.570 Kilocalories squares is the second principle and the effects on the whole position. 05:18.810 --> 05:21.480 So there's actually a weakness of the last move here as well. 05:21.480 --> 05:26.190 Demonstrated then it's actually neglected. 05:26.190 --> 05:29.970 This queen takes although glorious looking it's neglected for. 05:30.330 --> 05:32.640 So that's the emergent opportunity here. 05:32.880 --> 05:34.740 That G4 has been neglected. 05:35.190 --> 05:40.830 So it's not only pouncing into that weakness, the last move, it's leveraging a kind of more move, 05:40.980 --> 05:43.740 more than two pieces being attacked on this occasion. 05:46.240 --> 05:55.210 So a mighty fork, a free piece is being attacked in this glorious example, so, yeah, it's a powerful 05:55.210 --> 05:55.620 weapon. 05:57.660 --> 06:00.020 When you double attack, you're overwhelming the opponent. 06:00.180 --> 06:05.760 So even Garry Kasparov slipped up with the kind of wins of the last move here, allowing this crushing, 06:05.760 --> 06:11.430 you know, not crushing, but it definitely got back in the game significantly. 06:14.310 --> 06:15.930 OK, if you're wondering. 06:16.260 --> 06:17.990 Yeah, she took the queen. 06:18.000 --> 06:19.090 This is how the game finished. 06:19.110 --> 06:24.210 So that form form was taken away and there was still a bit of fighting. 06:24.210 --> 06:25.900 Kasparov is not going to go down that easily. 06:26.700 --> 06:28.230 So the game did continue. 06:30.720 --> 06:35.910 And this is beyond the scope of this selection to really explain these moves too much by the is kind 06:35.910 --> 06:37.940 of exposed the night Queena coordinating. 06:38.340 --> 06:45.450 So there's a further concession here because of the multiple fronts that takes was played at. 06:45.450 --> 06:48.690 Kasparov is trying to meit's, by the way, he's not giving up hope as well. 06:48.690 --> 06:51.150 He's trying to maximize his win probability. 06:51.160 --> 06:53.760 Set up a maiffret overcatch six. 06:54.150 --> 07:00.090 You know, if the creation of that would be meeting I just put on the board if a for this would be meeting. 07:00.090 --> 07:01.680 So why it has to be careful. 07:01.680 --> 07:02.460 This is checkmate. 07:03.090 --> 07:04.320 So it has to be careful. 07:04.800 --> 07:05.280 Yeah. 07:08.810 --> 07:19.550 So Gitanes gives the king some air escapes from Jeoffrey, but the game eventually, eventually was 07:19.550 --> 07:20.180 wrapped up. 07:20.420 --> 07:23.740 I mean, Kasparov must have been really, really annoyed about the initial Forkan here. 07:24.290 --> 07:28.120 There's a lot of pressure on J7, which is very difficult to parry between the queen and Rook. 07:28.580 --> 07:36.650 So, OK, yeah, I had to say the rest of the cards, but yeah, the folk the major folk incident occurred 07:36.650 --> 07:36.880 here. 07:36.890 --> 07:37.950 Queen 64. 07:40.360 --> 07:40.610 Yeah. 07:40.610 --> 07:42.440 I like to say a few things along the way. 07:42.440 --> 07:46.190 And each of these, these lectures, you know, about unprotected pieces in general, you don't want 07:46.190 --> 07:48.920 to give yourself theoretical downsides of unprotected pieces. 07:48.920 --> 07:53.500 It's the focal of the attack, which is often going to pick that up to overwhelm you. 07:53.720 --> 08:00.110 You know, you wouldn't have had to handle this extra kind of move frat's if it had been a protected 08:00.110 --> 08:00.440 rogue. 08:00.800 --> 08:03.170 If Blacket just cancelled, for example. 08:03.710 --> 08:08.090 You know, sometimes, you know, that's also a basic principle, the opening strike early. 08:08.360 --> 08:14.150 But usually we associate castling early, you know, with bringing the rock towards the center and improving 08:14.150 --> 08:14.740 the King-Size. 08:14.750 --> 08:19.970 But there's also this other aspect that might also be protecting, you know, other pieces as well, 08:20.240 --> 08:25.640 adding some security to your position in the kind of materialistic sense that the pieces are protecting 08:25.640 --> 08:26.900 each other in general. 08:26.910 --> 08:32.090 That's the good state to be and makes the positions easier to play. 08:32.990 --> 08:38.290 OK, so yeah, I made a slip up with Quintet's Alone, this quintet's G4. 08:38.870 --> 08:40.700 OK, thanks very much.
