WEBVTT 00:01.380 --> 00:10.410 In this position, Towne's is playing baff and he blunders actually, he actually takes this form, 00:10.410 --> 00:16.770 which is kind of lucrative perhaps to take the call, but you need to be very, very tactically aware 00:16.770 --> 00:18.030 in chess and games. 00:18.030 --> 00:20.460 Tactics pervade all aspects of chess. 00:21.000 --> 00:23.970 And here, you know, that seems to be the intuitive move. 00:23.970 --> 00:27.000 But sometimes the intuitive move is not the right move. 00:27.390 --> 00:31.440 The right move here, much stronger move is actually King Sifry. 00:32.010 --> 00:35.040 That is actually, believe it or not, a king safety issue. 00:35.550 --> 00:43.830 And if King Sifry, you know, this is a very, very different scenario where, you know, Black has 00:43.830 --> 00:47.700 to be careful because of this dangerous Pontypool coming down the board. 00:48.840 --> 00:52.770 So for example, King F7 rotates takes. 00:52.770 --> 00:56.870 This situation should only be about equal. 00:56.870 --> 01:02.790 If I want to try and preserve that pawn, then, you know, White can do this to try and preserve the 01:02.790 --> 01:03.350 people. 01:03.900 --> 01:07.200 You can see that because whites pawns are kind of disconnected. 01:07.620 --> 01:12.660 It's difficult to actually win this situation with the fragmented pawns. 01:12.900 --> 01:14.730 If had, you know, that would be a mistake. 01:14.730 --> 01:21.660 Not repeating rechange sex because then black hood folk the rock and pawn and be well on the way to 01:21.660 --> 01:25.320 at least, you know, equality back in the game. 01:25.440 --> 01:32.420 You know, this is a remarkable thing about what happened in the game that we actually didn't play Kingsly 01:32.430 --> 01:35.070 free, but rotates Eighty-six. 01:35.070 --> 01:42.090 And there's actually a tactical solution now, a tactical continuation, which is rather amusing and 01:42.090 --> 01:49.290 brutal and gentle at the same time would say, can you see what you know, Baff plays in this position 01:49.290 --> 01:49.860 to win? 01:53.510 --> 02:00.680 If I give you five cents portfolio, OK, Beth actually just attacks the rook, you're forcing moves, 02:01.100 --> 02:02.780 limit the opponent's replies. 02:03.140 --> 02:08.180 Where can the move you know, none of these squares are available because of that, that neutze you 02:08.180 --> 02:10.100 know, none of the squares are available. 02:12.050 --> 02:16.670 And if the rook moves here, then there's no Afri and that would be Chac winning the rug. 02:16.970 --> 02:20.860 So the rooks only got one square H5. 02:21.350 --> 02:23.870 And guess what, a brutal move and gentle. 02:24.140 --> 02:30.980 I would say that both plays in this position and she does like towns in the story. 02:31.670 --> 02:37.250 But yeah, guess what black plays here if I give you five cents for every. 02:39.930 --> 02:43.560 And it's a it's actually a really quite amusing situation. 02:44.490 --> 02:51.330 I have to say, if, OK, black plays kinky sex so the rook cannot move here because of a free check 02:52.050 --> 02:53.130 for kinky and rock. 02:55.200 --> 02:57.810 So we can remove cannot move there because I'm not afraid. 02:57.910 --> 03:03.740 Jack Kerouac cannot move move here because of the free check for King Kingara there. 03:04.830 --> 03:06.030 And so he tried this one. 03:06.030 --> 03:11.520 But funny enough, yeah, believe it or not, might be free track folks, King and Rock. 03:11.940 --> 03:14.640 So Townes had to resign here. 03:15.510 --> 03:18.290 Yeah, it's pretty hopeless losing that rock like that. 03:18.480 --> 03:22.970 So quite brutal showing actually, you know, tactics for me. 03:22.980 --> 03:24.300 I'm a big fan of tactics. 03:24.300 --> 03:26.330 They aren't be the undo button in chess. 03:26.340 --> 03:28.140 You've got to be strong tactically. 03:29.130 --> 03:36.750 I hope, you know, you try and become a tactical monster in particular as a result of this course, 03:36.750 --> 03:43.650 because it provides all aspects of opening mental game in and game, even as it turns out to be quite 03:43.650 --> 03:46.830 tactical because of the king's position and forcing moves. 03:47.190 --> 03:53.040 So sometimes, you know, your intuition could be letting you down, you know, in a particular position. 03:53.040 --> 03:55.080 You've got to check each kind of respect. 03:55.080 --> 04:01.680 Each position on its own unique merits and tactics gives you that kind of healthy respect for positions, 04:01.680 --> 04:06.060 the brutalities which might be contained within your particular positions. 04:06.450 --> 04:13.650 OK, so rotates and takes turns out to be a big mistake because of kings absolutely winning for black. 04:14.400 --> 04:16.320 OK, and so much.
