WEBVTT 00:00.990 --> 00:01.600 Hi there. 00:02.010 --> 00:07.310 This is a very, very famous study by Richard Ratti, one of the leading hyper modernists in chess. 00:07.740 --> 00:14.430 The hyper modernists created useful exceptions to establish very reti also invented every one of the 00:14.430 --> 00:15.190 Ratti opening. 00:15.990 --> 00:21.130 So the thing Catorce, for example, became popular as a result of some of the hyper modernists. 00:21.810 --> 00:24.380 So anyway, this is an ingame study. 00:24.390 --> 00:28.100 So these studies are created by composers and they're often very, very beautiful. 00:28.320 --> 00:31.260 They're like very, very, very hard puzzles. 00:31.500 --> 00:34.590 But puzzles doesn't do them really justice. 00:34.830 --> 00:41.970 There are a lot more rules and terminology associated with studies and, you know, study competitions 00:42.360 --> 00:42.930 here. 00:43.530 --> 00:44.350 Whites play. 00:44.370 --> 00:46.620 Do you think White can salvage this situation? 00:46.890 --> 00:52.950 It seems as though the pawns, you know, only a few steps away from queening whites. 00:52.950 --> 01:01.360 First move here is very, very interesting and it's kind of absolutely forced when it does have a passport. 01:01.980 --> 01:05.480 So is it at all possible to draw this position? 01:05.670 --> 01:06.810 That's the key question. 01:08.400 --> 01:09.740 I'll give you five seconds. 01:09.760 --> 01:14.010 The portion of the video, you might think this is totally impossible. 01:14.010 --> 01:16.800 There's no way of drawing this position. 01:16.950 --> 01:17.430 Right. 01:20.300 --> 01:26.130 OK, well, you have to play King G7, you have to travel along this route. 01:26.210 --> 01:28.150 This is absolutely forced. 01:29.960 --> 01:33.110 Now, if age four, you play king of six. 01:37.120 --> 01:38.350 Now, the thing is. 01:40.650 --> 01:50.700 In this position, if black carries on with age three, we've actually got two moves that draw, not 01:50.700 --> 01:58.890 just one, we can play either King Eighty-seven or kinky sex. 01:59.340 --> 02:08.120 The point is that after age two, we play C7 seven and then we can hurt our --. 02:09.480 --> 02:11.640 So both sides queen, it's going to be a draw. 02:13.890 --> 02:14.460 So yeah. 02:14.940 --> 02:25.050 Or even kinky sex here and then C7 and both sides, you know, going to queing the kings that heard 02:25.050 --> 02:32.910 the --, if they did for that little square, the king is giving assistance to this squire of that 02:32.910 --> 02:33.300 --. 02:36.130 --> 02:37.560 You know, with King B seven. 02:37.600 --> 02:39.220 OK, so there's that many square. 02:43.970 --> 02:52.010 If King B 17 are king, these are holding the poem to see, so the thing is, it turns out communication 02:52.280 --> 02:53.480 has to lose its empire. 02:56.390 --> 03:05.300 With King B sex, guess what, white plays hair key move if I give you five cents, calls for the. 03:11.290 --> 03:19.660 It looks as though we're nowhere near this square, this point square is like this, how can our king 03:20.690 --> 03:23.530 answer that square to stop that poem? 03:25.000 --> 03:26.050 Well, that's true. 03:26.050 --> 03:26.480 That's true. 03:26.500 --> 03:33.610 The king can't answer that square, but the king can actually play to 85 with the threat of entering 03:33.610 --> 03:38.920 the square, but also with the threat of king desex. 03:40.090 --> 03:52.750 So again, black has to lose a tampoe because if age free hair, then king desex age to see seven where 03:52.750 --> 03:55.060 queening here both sides of queening. 03:55.690 --> 03:56.810 It's an even possession. 03:58.430 --> 04:04.980 So after King five, if black has to lose the tempo, then mission accomplished. 04:04.990 --> 04:10.500 We've actually cause black to lose enough time for us to catch. 04:10.630 --> 04:12.410 Now this pool. 04:14.110 --> 04:14.530 Yeah. 04:15.190 --> 04:17.140 A beautiful study by Richard Reti. 04:18.220 --> 04:23.560 If this is the first study you've ever seen, you know, it's it shows that even in super simple positions, 04:23.950 --> 04:28.420 you can create these really difficult, like, super puzzles. 04:28.870 --> 04:31.720 But they aren't technically technically called studies. 04:31.730 --> 04:32.740 They have composers. 04:33.070 --> 04:34.950 There's a whole composition in chess. 04:37.060 --> 04:43.450 Garry Kasparov, one of the arguably, you know, strongest possible time, he swore by studies when 04:43.450 --> 04:44.850 other people were solving puzzles. 04:45.610 --> 04:47.110 He was trying to crack studies. 04:47.920 --> 04:54.910 And that kind of enriched this chess and giving him great ideas during actual games for solving positions. 04:55.420 --> 04:58.850 It really stretches the visualization studies of super hard. 04:59.680 --> 05:00.250 So here. 05:00.250 --> 05:05.410 Yeah, King G7, though, remarkably, save the day. 05:06.530 --> 05:07.120 OK. 05:08.300 --> 05:08.810 As much.
