Hi there in this land, shall we look at the so-called Arabian checkmates pattern and you can see an

00:10.290 --> 00:15.780
Arabian satellite in this position, black plan, when I wonder if you can spot more black players.

00:15.780 --> 00:17.580
If I give you five seconds, pull the video,

00:20.910 --> 00:22.890
all checks, even the most outrageous ones.

00:23.430 --> 00:25.980
There's actually a kill a common square on H2.

00:25.980 --> 00:34.650
The rookies actually trying HS2 here and we can make use of that with Queen takes a free check.

00:35.070 --> 00:43.590
Yes, very limited replies from white and then the rook and knight beautifully combined to this Arabian

00:43.590 --> 00:44.550
checkmate pattern.

00:44.550 --> 00:45.870
So it's worth knowing about.

00:45.870 --> 00:51.840
It shows the great strength of how annoying and rook, when a king is in the corner, can deliver a

00:51.840 --> 00:53.790
checkmate in such a neat manner.

00:54.570 --> 00:55.730
So I hope you like that one.

00:55.740 --> 01:03.480
It's called the Arabian Checkmate Pattern, one of the earliest recorded kind of identified checkmating

01:03.480 --> 01:04.710
patterns in chess.

01:05.310 --> 01:07.250
OK, that's imagine.
