00:01.200 --> 00:01.850
Hi there.

00:02.990 --> 00:07.940
In this lecture, it his wife's plan and we can make use of pens here.

00:09.190 --> 00:15.640
Potentially, I hope you can spot how if I give you five seconds to pause the video.

00:20.590 --> 00:25.490
This is a beautiful finish by David Bronstein, uncrowned king of chess.

00:25.730 --> 00:32.870
He could have been world chess champion so easily, he played a crushing move here, so powerful it

00:32.870 --> 00:34.250
caused the opponent to resign.

00:34.730 --> 00:36.650
It's Rook's C8.

00:39.660 --> 00:41.940
So this absolutely wins because.

00:43.670 --> 00:49.510
If queen takes there's a weakness of the last move, right, is when you calculate any half moves,

00:49.520 --> 00:53.320
look out for the weakness of the last move there, those golden opportunities.

00:53.730 --> 00:55.550
And there is no point calculating stuff.

00:55.550 --> 00:59.000
There's no point just moving a piece pieces around like Benjamin.

00:59.240 --> 01:04.670
No, there's more to it than the ball was depicted in the Queen's Gambit Netflix series.

01:04.670 --> 01:09.530
If you're moving pieces around on this ceiling, which is a bit weird, you can do it in your mind's

01:09.530 --> 01:09.860
eye.

01:11.370 --> 01:17.260
I outlined the opportunities, the golden opportunities, what a peace moves that neglects a peace move.

01:17.790 --> 01:23.640
Let's look at what is neglecting not just that the peace movement, you know, it's one it neglects.

01:23.640 --> 01:26.700
It's neglected east weakness of the last move here.

01:27.300 --> 01:28.150
Queenie's seven.

01:28.150 --> 01:28.930
That's checkmate.

01:30.540 --> 01:36.980
So in the case of Quintet's We Have Queene seven Checkmate and my on Cairncross.

01:36.990 --> 01:37.560
Hold on this.

01:37.830 --> 01:42.060
This is ridiculous black and has got other things to do.

01:42.630 --> 01:44.790
Rotate C8 in the case.

01:44.800 --> 01:46.650
Rotate seet we renew.

01:47.280 --> 01:50.840
I like the word renew by the way we renew our pen.

01:51.450 --> 02:01.080
So again if Quinn tanks we play checkmate and if Bishop takes guess what we got in this position which

02:02.280 --> 02:07.470
I haven't officially introduced you, but we've actually got a battery, we've got two pieces cooperating

02:07.470 --> 02:08.220
in a battery.

02:08.520 --> 02:11.040
And when you have a battery, you have killer common squares.

02:11.490 --> 02:13.590
These are all by default, killer common squares.

02:13.590 --> 02:18.270
If we had a bishop and queen, here are our killer common squares would be all of these squares as soon

02:18.270 --> 02:19.500
as you set up a battery.

02:19.770 --> 02:24.150
So bishop and queen or queen and bishop, you've got access to common squares which are supported by

02:24.150 --> 02:24.930
that battery.

02:25.290 --> 02:29.910
And here our battery supports Queen takes D checkmate.

02:30.660 --> 02:32.390
So that's out of the question as well.

02:34.970 --> 02:43.220
So this is really a super crushing blow in this position, so Bishop takes Quinn takes the road.

02:43.280 --> 02:43.860
Thanks, Brooke.

02:43.930 --> 02:44.360
Thanks.

02:45.980 --> 02:52.410
Yeah, it's just it's just all over just to let the queen takes Queen Elizabeth.

02:52.550 --> 02:53.450
There's no defense.

02:54.470 --> 03:02.460
So it all gets kicked off with this pin move rugosa eight spectacular use of a pin.

03:02.900 --> 03:06.230
There are other ingredients to this particular position like that.

03:06.230 --> 03:11.420
Powerful battery plants already, you know, theoretical downsides on dark squares.

03:12.410 --> 03:13.340
There's no counterpart.

03:13.340 --> 03:17.120
Bishop Positionally, you want to be looking out for this from afar in your own games.

03:17.120 --> 03:22.220
When you have a bishop of a certain color that accounts for, then you should be more alert to these

03:22.220 --> 03:24.060
kind of opportunities on that color.

03:25.850 --> 03:27.730
So he the dance great disaster.

03:27.890 --> 03:29.290
It wasn't just an accident.

03:29.300 --> 03:30.320
It wasn't just a fluke.

03:30.650 --> 03:35.930
What its position is, is really good hair from those kind of considerations.

03:36.230 --> 03:40.510
But Russia is the concrete thing which really, you know, wins the game.

03:42.360 --> 03:44.160
OK, I hope you got some points from this one.

03:45.350 --> 03:45.790
So much.
