00:00.720 --> 00:08.850
Hi there in this clash on the show, you the Legal's meIt's passan, and in fact, this came on that

00:08.850 --> 00:13.690
show you features a reverse tango, which I've been playing quite a lot in recent months myself.

00:14.040 --> 00:18.800
This is actually from a correspondence game of David mooting against some bender.

00:19.410 --> 00:30.000
So after d5 E for D4 92, C see two rather that's disambiguate that both sides could have gone into

00:30.420 --> 00:31.650
if I like Jeoffrey.

00:31.680 --> 00:39.270
So the night as tangoed to this side of the board, we see not every F six bishop seafoam black relies

00:39.270 --> 00:48.900
and puts trust in a relative pin here and we actually get the Largos pattern quite early on in this

00:49.440 --> 00:49.850
game.

00:49.860 --> 00:54.810
Can you see why it plays here, which is a very, very powerful move indeed.

00:56.310 --> 01:01.800
And I have managed to play this a few times myself from the tango opening.

01:01.850 --> 01:04.080
I mean, it can happen in other openings.

01:04.740 --> 01:11.640
It's its amazing pattern, which involves very minor pieces.

01:12.300 --> 01:17.460
So the minor pieces, the bishops and lights, not the rocks and the queens, those are the major but

01:17.460 --> 01:18.450
the minor pieces.

01:19.140 --> 01:22.470
OK, so it's 1965 offering the queen up.

01:23.220 --> 01:26.540
So Black doesn't really want to take her because the queen takes G4.

01:27.210 --> 01:28.200
So we have Bishop takes.

01:28.200 --> 01:35.180
And the point is, can you see what won't please her if I give you five seconds, pause the video,

01:36.840 --> 01:37.470
OK?

01:41.110 --> 01:52.260
F7 Jack of the King s7, guess what, our tangoed knight actually delivers the checkmate.

01:53.350 --> 01:56.110
What a great have for the tango of 93.

01:56.350 --> 01:58.200
So clearly check out my tango.

01:58.200 --> 02:02.230
Of course you can actually play the tango in reverse if you want a system of white.

02:03.520 --> 02:11.620
So the tango can sometimes occasionally lead to the Largos checkmate pattern like this.

02:12.490 --> 02:16.000
So let's have a look at what makes up this pattern.

02:16.000 --> 02:17.200
A and bishop.

02:18.280 --> 02:19.650
A knight supports the bishop.

02:20.080 --> 02:22.170
The Bishop takes away and escapes choir.

02:22.180 --> 02:24.070
The knight takes white escape square.

02:24.400 --> 02:29.190
And this knight not only delivers the check, it's also taking away another key escape square.

02:29.560 --> 02:36.490
So sometimes the checks in themselves also take away key escape squares not to be taken for granted.

02:36.910 --> 02:40.650
The six pawn really helps her.

02:41.110 --> 02:46.540
Sometimes it's just a piece, you know, the fundamentals, the patterns, the mafia, whatever is occupying

02:46.930 --> 02:55.300
there, it's as long as it can't do anything about five checkmate and it doesn't matter.

02:55.510 --> 03:02.520
The basic pattern is there, the free minor pieces conspiring here to set up this lovely checkmate.

03:03.280 --> 03:05.020
So that's an example of that.

03:05.020 --> 03:07.420
It goes my pattern quite often.

03:07.420 --> 03:11.020
You will get it for a rebellion against a relative pin.

03:11.560 --> 03:13.180
So remember those relative pins.

03:13.630 --> 03:19.120
If you look at the rise of Bobby Fischer when he went mega tactical called Tactical Monster, he was

03:19.120 --> 03:22.500
rebelling against the relative spends quite a lot.

03:22.810 --> 03:24.730
If you look at his games, which I have.

03:25.570 --> 03:33.010
So that is part of your tactical tactical comment kind of understanding that your resolution of moves

03:33.010 --> 03:39.010
and possibilities, they open up, they have to open up for you to be more dangerous to opponents,

03:39.280 --> 03:43.860
not play routine stuff to think about rebelling against relative pens.

03:44.170 --> 03:50.680
And also yet this mating pattern, once you've seen it and you know it exists, you know that there's

03:50.680 --> 03:54.970
something potentially to look out for here, OK?

03:55.720 --> 03:56.350
And so much.
