Either in this lecture, I want to introduce you to one of the most common checkmates patterns, so

00:07.410 --> 00:12.800
they called patterns because we can remember these patterns visually.

00:13.500 --> 00:20.610
So back Frank is one of many checkmating patterns you'll find out about and.

00:22.360 --> 00:29.830
Here is an example, the feature of it is that the king, although it does have defensive patterns around

00:29.830 --> 00:32.210
it, doesn't have many escape squares.

00:32.650 --> 00:36.670
The king is actually restricted by its own pawns.

00:38.290 --> 00:42.450
And if it's going to move here, why it has a winning move.

00:42.460 --> 00:45.320
I wonder if you can spot it if I give you five seconds portfolio.

00:49.540 --> 00:55.930
OK, we can actually play the rook down and it's checkmate so the king can't escape.

00:56.530 --> 01:02.020
Yeah, it's actually just checkmate a back chromate and believe it or not, this doesn't actually happen

01:02.020 --> 01:04.000
quite a lot in chess games.

01:04.000 --> 01:10.540
Generally, back chromate patterns happen quite a lot in a more sophisticated way.

01:10.540 --> 01:18.820
Even Magnus Colson, at the time of this recording yesterday, he fell for a kind of back chromate tactic,

01:18.820 --> 01:22.150
which I can show you in the next example, actually.

01:23.140 --> 01:24.450
So that's hot off the press.

01:24.880 --> 01:33.190
So bear in mind, the idea is that the king is kind of restricted by its own pawns and this can lead

01:33.190 --> 01:34.960
to terrible trouble later.

01:35.560 --> 01:36.130
OK.

01:38.300 --> 01:44.120
So I hope you got that major point and let's look at some more examples of this very, very important

01:44.120 --> 01:45.110
