WEBVTT 00:01.110 --> 00:01.770 Hi there. 00:02.100 --> 00:08.850 In this election, we see why passports can be really a winning probability that you're creating and 00:08.850 --> 00:12.990 you need to explore whenever in your mind's eye you calculate anything. 00:12.990 --> 00:15.690 And as a potential passport, you should think. 00:15.690 --> 00:16.500 Hold on a sec. 00:16.980 --> 00:18.110 Can I calculate that further? 00:18.120 --> 00:21.290 Is there anything special to celebrate the passport? 00:21.810 --> 00:24.630 You know, the passport in the form pawns and pens. 00:24.630 --> 00:31.410 You know, they're really your friends at both in the middle game and your own games, especially in 00:31.410 --> 00:34.550 games, postpones they come in a world of their own. 00:34.860 --> 00:39.930 But in the middle game, even with Queens on, sometimes it's difficult for the opponent's pieces to 00:39.930 --> 00:47.090 handle the potential of a passport, making a run to the finish line to become a queen. 00:47.940 --> 00:49.200 So here blacks play. 00:49.200 --> 00:50.400 Can you see what black can do? 00:50.400 --> 00:55.260 Which is really quite crushing if I give you five seconds to pause the video. 00:55.770 --> 00:56.700 Blacks playing. 01:00.560 --> 01:07.010 OK, the most accurate move here is actually Rook takes the free, this opens up a passport, which 01:07.010 --> 01:08.440 is only two steps away. 01:08.690 --> 01:12.830 So these pawns, which are advanced in your opponent's territory, especially if you can crack them 01:12.830 --> 01:16.330 open to be passports, are only they're only like one or two steps away. 01:16.340 --> 01:17.600 They're especially dangerous. 01:18.260 --> 01:21.910 And here black can actually celebrate it. 01:21.920 --> 01:28.610 Literally, it's only two steps away and make sure it's going to queen with a stunner. 01:29.330 --> 01:37.700 Have you spotted that there's a stunning move in this position and it makes maybe, maybe regret the 01:37.700 --> 01:41.480 intentions of going in for some sort of attack of the queen over here? 01:42.530 --> 01:44.930 And that move is queen takes a fall. 01:46.160 --> 01:50.720 This is just crossing after after four seats. 01:50.720 --> 01:59.060 Who is played and what it won't do to stop that -- queen in the queen's not in a position to help. 01:59.450 --> 02:01.760 So this was this is absolutely winning here. 02:02.360 --> 02:03.470 It's going to be queening. 02:04.730 --> 02:05.240 Yeah. 02:05.810 --> 02:12.500 By the way, Grug takes the phrase the most accurate if queen takes for offtakes after you play with 02:12.500 --> 02:13.280 this move order. 02:13.310 --> 02:14.710 It seems to be the same effect. 02:15.410 --> 02:22.550 However, in this particular move over, why it's not obliged to take on defraying Y can actually improve 02:22.550 --> 02:25.790 things, improve things greatly here. 02:26.420 --> 02:32.720 By playing the movie Queen G4, I actually would have the advantage here. 02:33.200 --> 02:36.740 This is pretty tricky, this position. 02:37.910 --> 02:39.720 Yeah, we're not winning that passport. 02:40.040 --> 02:41.570 There's not even a checker and stopped. 02:42.110 --> 02:42.470 Yeah. 02:42.740 --> 02:44.630 This is know tricky territory. 02:45.350 --> 02:49.520 So yeah, the move orders are sometimes crucially important to get right. 02:50.450 --> 02:57.740 Just make sure you've established this as a fact in the position that is possible, maximize that fact 02:57.740 --> 03:07.430 is established first as a possible only two steps away from queening, then this is absolutely decisive. 03:08.470 --> 03:09.100 OK. 03:10.220 --> 03:16.250 In the middle game, politicians can be absolutely crushing like this example shows how much.
