WEBVTT 00:00.840 --> 00:07.020 Hi there, unless actually we see an opposing king not so conveniently placed, how do we chat with 00:07.050 --> 00:08.070 Queen and King here? 00:09.000 --> 00:12.920 Well, we can start by restricting the king, as usual. 00:13.850 --> 00:14.280 Yeah. 00:15.360 --> 00:18.960 So they can't come back on that rank. 00:19.830 --> 00:21.930 So say they move here. 00:25.270 --> 00:28.510 Now, what is an efficient way of checkmating here? 00:28.750 --> 00:34.130 Well, actually, we can single handedly, just like the Queen, do a bit more restricting work before 00:34.150 --> 00:40.110 even we even touch on King without stalemating the opponent, we can actually move here. 00:41.920 --> 00:44.260 So this doesn't leave the opponents king too many options. 00:44.260 --> 00:45.340 They have to step back. 00:46.240 --> 00:50.650 Then we can restrict the can again and then say they go here. 00:51.220 --> 00:57.360 And that even touching on King, we can ask the king to move back even more. 00:57.730 --> 01:02.800 We can get the king we can prearrange with the king before even start looking to get back on the right 01:02.800 --> 01:03.090 track. 01:03.120 --> 01:07.720 This is a very, very useful technique, especially if you ever play fast chess online. 01:07.750 --> 01:13.870 You want an official Web chat meeting, you know, avoid the stalemate risk, especially because that's 01:13.870 --> 01:14.560 embarrassing. 01:15.280 --> 01:16.710 So you can restrict the opponents. 01:16.720 --> 01:22.960 King and asked the king politely, look, step back, then we can go here to keep that restriction. 01:23.620 --> 01:29.140 And the king is relentlessly, you know, trying to struggle to stay as far out the board as possible. 01:29.440 --> 01:35.260 But then again, we do this and the king can't stay on that seven franc. 01:36.130 --> 01:41.950 And now again, we restrict and then here we don't want to overdo things. 01:42.970 --> 01:47.560 It's at this point, we've driven the opponents king to the eighth rank. 01:48.070 --> 01:54.820 Then we can start to use our king a thousand points for what to do. 01:55.840 --> 01:58.990 And if mine is thousands, what not to do here. 02:00.430 --> 02:05.020 I hope you're never tempted to restrict the king to the extent that it stole my mind. 02:05.020 --> 02:09.760 As far as the points of that stalemate, the opponent has got any moves that might draw. 02:11.230 --> 02:14.980 No, at this point, you bring a king up. 02:14.980 --> 02:21.190 The board supports the queen in delivering that final checkmates. 02:22.420 --> 02:24.490 So here the final chapter. 02:24.530 --> 02:25.450 I hope you can spot it. 02:27.340 --> 02:32.110 Yeah, we want to go here ideally or you can go here. 02:32.740 --> 02:33.910 Yeah, that's a lot of traveling. 02:36.310 --> 02:37.210 So essentially. 02:37.210 --> 02:37.450 Yeah. 02:37.450 --> 02:39.730 Let the queen do the restricting work first. 02:40.390 --> 02:49.780 Put the king on that back row and do that you can single handedly drive the king to the back row with 02:49.780 --> 02:52.990 this Towfigh coming close to the king. 02:52.990 --> 02:54.010 But it's not stalemate. 02:55.510 --> 02:57.790 And I mentioned this move. 02:58.600 --> 03:04.450 And then again, this move drives the king further down the boards, quite often the process of checkmating 03:04.450 --> 03:04.810 opponents. 03:04.810 --> 03:10.540 King in the end game is putting them on the back row or in the corners generally. 03:10.720 --> 03:13.900 So here we're driving the king to the back row systematically. 03:14.620 --> 03:20.830 We're avoiding a stalemate situation and then we're reinforcing the queen with support by bringing King 03:20.860 --> 03:25.420 on board to deliver a checkmate, either like that or like this. 03:26.350 --> 03:31.000 We're kind of wasting time a little bit if we play this, but it's still we can still chamar. 03:31.000 --> 03:33.220 Even if we did that by then, we can. 03:33.340 --> 03:37.330 We can now, Chemie here, we can try it here. 03:38.320 --> 03:39.340 We can set my hair. 03:39.340 --> 03:41.770 Last time I wouldn't touch my hair. 03:45.010 --> 03:48.880 And if we did this and they went in there, we can still check my hair. 03:50.740 --> 03:58.500 But if you want to be efficient here, this is the official one, one of the official ones there or 03:58.510 --> 04:05.380 they're OK, the two kings when they're like this are said to be in opposition. 04:05.890 --> 04:09.430 And that's also a kind of useful way of checkmated in general. 04:10.030 --> 04:15.100 When you have the opposition, you're naturally taking out escape squares of the opponents. 04:15.100 --> 04:19.540 King when the two kings are opposed like this, you're actually restricting the opponents. 04:19.540 --> 04:27.010 King saying, you know, with your king single handedly so as well as the queen delivering the final 04:27.010 --> 04:27.740 checkmate. 04:29.710 --> 04:37.900 So anyway, I hope you got the picture here for how to chat, mate with Queen and King against King. 04:38.770 --> 04:45.730 So you have this kind of method single handedly restricting King, pushing the king back to a frank 04:46.480 --> 04:50.740 and then bringing up the king to help the queen deliver the final checkmate. 04:50.980 --> 04:53.860 But they're all like that ideally, OK? 04:55.190 --> 04:55.720 As so watch.
