Hi there.
In this lecture, Black has played very resourcefully to get this position Ciguatera Haroche, a very,
very famous player, arch nemesis of acronyms, which in some respects so here Thomas is playing a great
combination sequence.
And we visited after his rucksack is actually set to work to get this.
So what was his intention here?
How is he possibly checkmating in this position, black to play?
What do you play here?
So this is the double bishop mating pattern.
So there's a clue that you're going to use both bishops.
One bishop is already controlling key, a key escape square G one.
We have a pawn taking another key escape square.
So the move is Bishop takes two after Rook rotates age four.
We have this mating pattern.
Yes.
That Jack is also taking out in itself the remaining square.
So it's check and checkmate, the double bishop mating pattern.
So sometimes you can sacrifice to get these kind of positions.
So sometimes, yeah, your positions will be heavily disguised.
It's up to you to recognize the underlying mating pattern sometimes, and that can really supercharge
your chess calculations quite often once you get used to these patterns.
OK, that's a much.
