Hi there.

00:02.340 --> 00:07.380
In this lecture, we're going to look at the so-called kill box checkmate, so why won't play here?

00:07.710 --> 00:11.880
What's the most efficient way of checkmating in this position?

00:12.330 --> 00:17.250
If I give you five seconds, pause the video and then we're going to have a look at the pattern itself,

00:18.630 --> 00:20.330
why it's actually called a kill box.

00:21.840 --> 00:23.100
OK, white playing.

00:23.590 --> 00:24.660
Have you spotted it?

00:26.280 --> 00:27.680
Rook four is the most efficient.

00:27.690 --> 00:28.740
It's simply checkmate.

00:28.830 --> 00:34.950
The queen has taken out a key escape sequence and the rook delivers the checkmate.

00:34.950 --> 00:39.300
And it's a kill box because if we look at it, it's a free by free box.

00:39.930 --> 00:41.010
Yeah, yeah.

00:41.010 --> 00:50.370
That's why it seems remarkably the kill box checkmates is a three by three box on chess board.

00:51.120 --> 00:55.460
So the queen and sometimes you might need this for a very efficient checkmate.

00:55.470 --> 01:02.400
Imagine you're in one of those dreadful bullet games which I'm so addicted to, and you want to finish

01:02.400 --> 01:05.430
off the opponent before running out of time and losing on time.

01:05.880 --> 01:06.750
The kill box champ.

01:06.750 --> 01:14.220
I can become a very, very useful tool worth being aware of this free by free box with the queen supporting

01:14.220 --> 01:14.970
the rope like this.

01:15.360 --> 01:17.820
OK, so the kill box checkmate person.

01:18.840 --> 01:19.440
That's a much.
