WEBVTT 00:01.080 --> 00:10.020 Hi, there it is, Lanzhou, we seem to be Penns, that seems to be really unfortunate this night is 00:10.020 --> 00:16.860 absolutely pinned to our king and also it seems to make us even sadder. 00:17.340 --> 00:23.030 You know, the rook is also attacking our queen has all this darkness. 00:23.040 --> 00:23.690 Is there a light? 00:23.690 --> 00:24.810 Is there a silver lining here? 00:24.810 --> 00:30.120 Is that all that other micro upside's, in other words, is there are also from the opponent's point 00:30.120 --> 00:36.330 of view, from some micro downside sandwich or little light in the room, we want to sometimes search 00:36.330 --> 00:42.840 for one up against the fearsome opponent who seems to have a fearsome position. 00:44.160 --> 00:48.660 But you have to bear in mind, these are actually two way roads. 00:48.660 --> 00:49.680 It's our turn. 00:50.160 --> 00:52.260 As Bronzing said, that's a powerful weapon. 00:52.860 --> 00:54.720 These are actually two main roads. 00:55.320 --> 00:58.320 It's not just the rook is attacking our queen. 00:58.950 --> 01:02.040 Our queen is attacking the rook. 01:03.000 --> 01:08.580 It's not just that his pins, but if it wasn't pinned, the night would be hitting the queen. 01:09.810 --> 01:12.720 There are some two rival two way roads going on here. 01:13.650 --> 01:14.820 It's not a one way street. 01:15.830 --> 01:19.220 Yeah, there's a fantastic move in this position. 01:22.090 --> 01:27.790 Which turns the tables on what seems to be a difficult position, can you spot it if I give you five 01:27.790 --> 01:28.900 seconds to pull the video? 01:40.860 --> 01:50.090 OK, we can make this whole thing backfire, Queen takes the check, yeah, queen takes the cake. 01:51.030 --> 01:55.060 So let's assume the president wants to recapture this. 01:55.170 --> 01:56.710 There's not much better. 01:58.290 --> 02:05.130 Now, the key point is we actually do two things with one move. 02:05.290 --> 02:07.290 Well, quite a lot of things move up, move. 02:07.800 --> 02:10.320 We can castle queen sides and it's check. 02:11.490 --> 02:17.820 And we've actually kind of celebrated counseling is kind of two moves with one move because the Kings 02:17.820 --> 02:19.860 also moved itself out of the pen. 02:19.860 --> 02:21.690 So this knights no longer penned. 02:22.170 --> 02:24.810 This is a total disaster for black now. 02:27.270 --> 02:30.720 If the queen moves in front, we can actually queen the pawn as well. 02:31.350 --> 02:33.870 Thanks very much, Jack. 02:34.230 --> 02:36.510 And the queen, you know, doesn't move in front. 02:37.380 --> 02:40.680 Say the bishop is then thinks we're up in material now. 02:40.890 --> 02:42.450 We've turned the tables totally. 02:43.110 --> 02:45.390 For example, you know, we're threatening to queen anyway. 02:45.630 --> 02:46.050 Yeah. 02:47.790 --> 02:50.210 So it's absolutely a disaster. 02:50.550 --> 02:59.220 So Queen takes the check, turns the tables totally when you get down about position and maybe and there's 02:59.220 --> 03:03.210 a silver lining, you know, that expression, the silver lining on the chessboard. 03:03.210 --> 03:05.640 Those are those are the micro upsides and downsides. 03:05.640 --> 03:06.840 I like to call them micro. 03:06.840 --> 03:09.330 I don't know my --. 03:09.600 --> 03:12.930 My interest is to look at the micro downsides. 03:13.560 --> 03:20.280 I like to be kind of nerdy about the downsides of the position, that kind of super nerdy to look in 03:20.280 --> 03:24.360 detail, to reveal these amazing, you know, tangible combinations. 03:24.360 --> 03:29.100 Sometimes I just absolutely have a passion to just type things. 03:32.480 --> 03:37.190 And I'm probably showing you above and beyond what I should show you, but this is kind of a beautiful 03:37.190 --> 03:43.490 tactical position and it does demonstrate I'm penning in a spectacular way with castling. 03:44.160 --> 03:45.810 That's a pretty rare example. 03:47.000 --> 03:49.220 I hope you enjoy it as much as made this example. 03:49.760 --> 03:54.340 But it shows also you shouldn't be down about any position just because you're being threatened or penned. 03:55.070 --> 03:56.290 There are two way roads. 03:56.300 --> 03:57.440 There are two way roads here. 03:58.790 --> 04:04.880 So so it can backfire potentially these things which look visually crushing. 04:05.720 --> 04:11.200 It's not all on just what it looks like visually and certainly after concretely check all the checks, 04:12.260 --> 04:13.700 prioritize the forcing most. 04:15.750 --> 04:18.720 And show the true truth of a test position. 04:19.800 --> 04:21.870 OK, as much.
