WEBVTT 00:01.080 --> 00:01.740 Hi there. 00:02.070 --> 00:07.200 In this lecture, we're going to be checkmating with just the queen, you can do this and the king's 00:07.200 --> 00:14.040 going to help, though the king is going to help on this occasion to make the palace king. 00:14.040 --> 00:16.360 Believe it or not, that's do this. 00:16.440 --> 00:18.660 First, we have the process of restriction. 00:19.590 --> 00:24.360 We want to make the king on the frank. 00:24.360 --> 00:26.700 Let's decide to checkmate the king on the eight franc. 00:28.050 --> 00:29.160 So restriction. 00:29.160 --> 00:31.470 We don't want the king to come back on board. 00:31.980 --> 00:37.080 So what we can do here is restrict the king immediately. 00:39.790 --> 00:43.130 So immediately restrain the king, it's not stalemate. 00:43.930 --> 00:46.870 The king does have two moves, you know. 00:49.350 --> 00:51.000 So make sure it's not stalemate. 00:54.040 --> 01:04.450 So we restrain the king and say they go here now, we need support for the queen, we can't go and checkmate 01:04.450 --> 01:09.760 the queen like this because they can just take OK, we can take our queen with that king. 01:10.510 --> 01:13.030 So we need a support kind of checkmate. 01:13.180 --> 01:15.040 We need to bring support to that queen. 01:15.760 --> 01:23.770 And we do this by bringing all king on the board to say we bring our king on the board. 01:24.310 --> 01:31.780 They hang around and let's say even if they did decide to go for this, the queen, they can't go there. 01:33.460 --> 01:36.940 Now, hear that last move. 01:37.300 --> 01:39.250 We've now got support for the queen. 01:40.810 --> 01:45.460 And we can actually can you spot that we can chat right here. 01:45.880 --> 01:51.910 We were kind of support mate with queen C7 and that's checkmate King can't take because we'll take the 01:52.100 --> 01:55.830 king is check my kingdom, check the escape squares. 01:56.410 --> 01:58.390 The queen is supported by our king. 01:59.080 --> 02:00.980 So generally, yeah. 02:01.000 --> 02:05.230 You want to sort of restrict the opponent's king of your queen 02:07.900 --> 02:12.330 and then bring up support for the queen to checkmate. 02:12.730 --> 02:14.620 So say they went on this side of the board. 02:14.980 --> 02:16.900 Similar kind of idea. 02:18.250 --> 02:19.600 And in fact. 02:21.230 --> 02:27.680 We can mate with two different moves so we can either go here, that's Germany, or we can actually 02:27.680 --> 02:29.950 check mate like this again. 02:29.960 --> 02:37.160 The Queen is doing the check by the Kings, actually restricting the opponent's king here from going 02:37.160 --> 02:37.470 anywhere. 02:37.510 --> 02:38.690 So this is also Germany. 02:39.680 --> 02:43.160 On the other hand, there's two which aren't chameides. 02:43.220 --> 02:46.730 Can you spot the ones that aren't checked my hair, which look tempting. 02:48.410 --> 02:58.340 OK, this is not Chameides, because the king can go there and nor is this Chamique because the king 02:58.340 --> 02:58.900 are there. 02:59.840 --> 03:02.240 So it's G7, which is checkmate. 03:02.690 --> 03:10.210 It stops is CHAC plus it stops the king from going to any escape square. 03:10.220 --> 03:17.330 And quite often that principle of checks, which also covers squares, is important for you to kind 03:17.330 --> 03:20.900 of use in other situations as well. 03:21.140 --> 03:27.760 So the process of taking Artscape squares is the you know, the beauty of checkmating the art of chat 03:27.770 --> 03:33.870 makes the opponent take out escape squares and then that that check is often checkmate. 03:34.310 --> 03:36.980 Now, there's a pitfall here, guys. 03:38.240 --> 03:45.800 There's a pitfall that you're actually there's a slight risk of stalemating the opponents if you don't 03:45.800 --> 03:47.450 play this carefully. 03:47.630 --> 03:49.490 This is a careful way. 03:50.210 --> 03:54.230 But say for some reason, you wanted your queen right. 03:54.230 --> 03:55.910 Next, the opponent's king. 03:57.140 --> 04:00.590 You always want to make sure the opponent's king has got moves if he did this. 04:00.620 --> 04:04.910 Believe it or not, even though you're a queen up, it's a draw by stalemates. 04:06.110 --> 04:15.530 You know, the king has got no moves, which seems very positive because I haven't I just said, you 04:15.530 --> 04:19.190 know, like restricting the king and then checking them later. 04:19.490 --> 04:22.030 Yeah, but you don't want to restrict the king so much. 04:22.990 --> 04:28.040 It's a balance so much that they haven't got any move because this is this is stalemate. 04:28.040 --> 04:29.620 You've just stalemated the opponent. 04:30.620 --> 04:31.040 Yeah. 04:31.460 --> 04:33.440 So you've got to be careful about stalemate. 04:35.400 --> 04:40.340 It's a real risk and it's a little bit embarrassing when you're up in Brazil and you still make the 04:40.360 --> 04:44.460 opponents, so be careful about that, you've got to at least give them one move. 04:44.860 --> 04:47.060 A little bit generous, one move. 04:47.910 --> 04:48.900 This is not generous. 04:49.560 --> 04:56.550 So here they've got, for example, one move and that's enough and then you can make them like this. 04:57.570 --> 05:05.130 So to recap in this example here, we use our queen to restrict the opponents king fast. 05:05.130 --> 05:07.050 And then we kind of bring up the reserves. 05:07.380 --> 05:15.950 We bring our king to help the queen support the queen in delivering a checkmate in such a way that if 05:15.990 --> 05:17.700 the king in theory could take. 05:17.700 --> 05:21.200 But they can't you you know, you've got it covered. 05:21.540 --> 05:25.880 So this is checkmate, but you definitely don't want to stalemate the opponent. 05:28.590 --> 05:31.170 So bear that in mind, OK? 05:31.230 --> 05:38.480 This is a nice way of restricting the king on this occasion and then bringing up the king for that Charmings 05:38.940 --> 05:39.070 head. 05:39.180 --> 05:39.780 That's clear. 05:40.200 --> 05:45.690 You won't want to practice with friends and relatives, as usual until you get this perfect and try 05:45.690 --> 05:48.480 and avoid the stalemate situations, OK? 05:49.450 --> 05:49.960 As much.
