WEBVTT 00:01.080 --> 00:08.070 Hi, there is this actually see another example, rook and queen against the king now say the king's 00:08.070 --> 00:09.970 like in between a rock and queen. 00:09.990 --> 00:12.530 How do we actually make here? 00:13.050 --> 00:19.530 Well, we decide where do we want to meet the king to save complications. 00:19.530 --> 00:25.530 Let's remove complications, reduce complications, which is a general principle you want to use in 00:25.530 --> 00:28.320 other parts of your game, like opening a mental game. 00:28.320 --> 00:30.900 You want to sometimes keep things as simple as possible. 00:32.040 --> 00:38.130 I would decide to chat my opponent up there rather than down here, because down here we've got all 00:38.130 --> 00:39.870 King and that king come. 00:39.870 --> 00:42.240 They're all king and complicate things. 00:42.870 --> 00:51.090 So I'd recommend first restricting the king with either the roll call, the queen making sure that it's 00:51.090 --> 00:51.750 not stalemate. 00:51.750 --> 00:53.790 So say Rook here. 00:54.300 --> 00:58.560 So we're restricting that king across there. 00:59.010 --> 01:00.840 The king can't cross now. 01:00.840 --> 01:02.610 We restricted our king. 01:02.930 --> 01:07.200 We want to then start the process of moving that king the boards. 01:07.890 --> 01:14.070 So saying they move here, then we can play, for example, check, say they move here, then we can 01:14.610 --> 01:16.440 staircase the king up the boards. 01:16.890 --> 01:18.060 Beware of that trap. 01:18.060 --> 01:20.310 We can't really go ahead because it's unsupported. 01:20.340 --> 01:21.390 They could just take us. 01:22.110 --> 01:26.430 So we want to be careful in this situation. 01:29.000 --> 01:36.590 And one thing we can do is just do a kind of waiting move, we can do a way to move, which puts the 01:36.590 --> 01:37.010 king. 01:38.210 --> 01:40.230 It still restricts the king, rather. 01:41.420 --> 01:45.820 And I ask the king, are you going to move back or are you going to be stubborn and stay around? 01:46.220 --> 01:50.960 So if they're stubborn and stay around and move there, then we can safely play this check to drive 01:50.960 --> 01:51.440 the king. 01:51.800 --> 01:55.240 But he wants that first rank and then we chameides. 01:56.540 --> 02:03.530 So, yeah, if the king happens to be between our king, between Queen and Rook, rather. 02:04.070 --> 02:06.230 So the king is between these guys. 02:06.860 --> 02:13.430 You want to practice this situation as well to make sure you know the tricks and the pitfalls. 02:14.780 --> 02:16.200 Just just as an aside. 02:16.340 --> 02:18.410 So you did the sides. 02:18.560 --> 02:21.200 You know, you want to go this way. 02:21.230 --> 02:22.550 You can go this way. 02:23.900 --> 02:25.860 You can, but. 02:28.970 --> 02:35.900 You're your king is over here, and sometimes that could cause an extra complication in chess, generally, 02:35.910 --> 02:41.660 you do want to keep complications minimized, you want to keep things as clear as possible. 02:42.170 --> 02:48.260 So that's why my personal preference and starting position would be to drive the king to checkmates 02:48.260 --> 02:49.170 on the eight. 02:49.190 --> 02:51.170 Frank, you're a frank. 02:53.340 --> 03:02.250 So we saw this is another alternative, but if you want to drive the king of the board that you could 03:02.250 --> 03:09.180 first retreat the king from coming down, for example, this move is another way, the multiple ways 03:09.180 --> 03:10.170 of winning this position. 03:10.650 --> 03:13.110 Then check and then Jack here. 03:13.320 --> 03:16.550 This is quite straightforward until this situation. 03:16.710 --> 03:17.520 But hold on. 03:17.520 --> 03:22.890 Even though we can't check there because they take us, we can go for a supported check. 03:23.220 --> 03:25.410 And mate here, look at that. 03:25.980 --> 03:27.290 The rook supports the queen. 03:27.300 --> 03:28.170 They can't take us. 03:28.500 --> 03:31.130 They can't move in a way that's charming as well. 03:31.710 --> 03:38.490 So, OK, just bear in mind, it doesn't matter where the king is once we've got rook and queen against 03:38.490 --> 03:42.720 that king, if we play our cards right, we're going to make them. 03:43.410 --> 03:52.890 So you want to practice this with friends, relatives, etc., take sides, take turns, make sure you 03:52.900 --> 03:57.530 both master this essential and game absolutely essential. 03:58.170 --> 03:59.880 OK, and so much.
