Hi there in episode three, nicknamed Doubled --'s as in Double Pawns and Chess.

00:08.730 --> 00:11.460
We see that there are signs of difficult situations.

00:11.470 --> 00:12.770
That's like the metaphor.

00:12.780 --> 00:18.870
And if you look at the pull structure section, at some points in this course, you'll see that, in

00:18.870 --> 00:24.230
fact, all the apparently untidy power structures do have the up and down sides.

00:24.930 --> 00:34.650
So Benny is showing this position and BEF and another person call out a move for whites and they say,

00:34.690 --> 00:35.880
like to take the pawn.

00:36.150 --> 00:42.980
Can you work out why taking the pawn here would be a very, very big mistake.

00:43.260 --> 00:44.100
Queen takes pawn.

00:44.100 --> 00:46.590
Can you actually visualize that in your head?

00:47.520 --> 00:51.720
If you can force if you can tackle checks and see if you can calculate this.

00:55.110 --> 00:55.710
OK.

00:57.680 --> 01:03.200
And it does the position did actually have double points, but the real game it was based on didn't

01:03.200 --> 01:04.910
have actual double pawns.

01:04.910 --> 01:07.810
It was those opponents of sex and the actual game was based on.

01:08.600 --> 01:11.010
So, OK, why is queen --?

01:11.010 --> 01:12.020
That was a mistake.

01:12.390 --> 01:17.930
If you do chacal checks, even the outrageous ones, which I hope is a very, very big takeaway of this

01:17.930 --> 01:18.440
course.

01:19.100 --> 01:22.010
Chacal checks captious and major frat's.

01:22.010 --> 01:29.180
I really hope you take that with you as your major tactical equipments, privatisation of forcing moves.

01:29.540 --> 01:33.380
You see that this is a way of losing the queen because a rookie one check.

01:34.490 --> 01:35.540
And the problem is.

01:35.570 --> 01:41.870
So if we take care takes and the other problem is if the king moves, can you see, well, what black

01:41.870 --> 01:42.530
plays her?

01:43.490 --> 01:44.740
You've got to kill a common square.

01:44.750 --> 01:47.450
But how to use the kind of common square?

01:47.450 --> 01:49.070
Can you use it in a careful way?

01:50.150 --> 01:52.670
Five seconds to pause, video blacks play.

01:54.860 --> 02:03.160
OK, Queen, H1 is Chameides, so the work has no contact with H1 there, so not one and one can take

02:05.810 --> 02:07.610
so Queen H1 would be Chemie.

02:08.150 --> 02:16.010
So yeah, it was actually based on again, Mays's against Rusedski in 1945.

02:16.460 --> 02:23.090
Rusedski was a very, very famous child prodigy and kind of a rival of Bobby Fischer, but older than

02:23.090 --> 02:23.720
Bobby Fischer.

02:24.230 --> 02:29.200
And sometimes they had clashes, you know, they wouldn't play in the same Olympiads.

02:29.630 --> 02:36.050
So, yeah, there's quite a lot of interest in the character of Riseley generally in real life, if

02:36.050 --> 02:38.740
you check out Rusedski as well as Fisher Bahía.

02:38.750 --> 02:40.070
Yeah, Queen takes CIFOR.

02:40.070 --> 02:40.910
Big mistake.

02:41.630 --> 02:43.340
So you've got to be tactically alert.

02:43.730 --> 02:48.920
And I guess, you know, they're showing obsession with double paws because the theme of the episode

02:49.520 --> 02:56.180
and later Beth is to play Benny and Benny is actually accepting double pawns again, showing the upside

02:56.570 --> 02:58.010
of having double pawns.

02:58.280 --> 03:00.500
But yeah, there's a life metaphor as well.

03:00.800 --> 03:02.060
You can't get metaphor's.

03:02.930 --> 03:09.920
You know, Smolov has a book, you know how chess imitates life.

03:10.760 --> 03:13.940
And so he's kind of interested, interested in those metaphors.

03:14.450 --> 03:17.750
So sometimes in difficult situations, there are upsides.

03:17.750 --> 03:18.920
There is a silver lining.

03:19.550 --> 03:26.630
So here, OK, black has good pressure in this position and what has to be careful and the actual game

03:26.630 --> 03:29.570
it was actually sidesteps where he won black.

03:29.570 --> 03:31.300
Did, you know, go on to win.

03:31.340 --> 03:32.900
The actual game was slightly different.

03:32.900 --> 03:33.680
Putin's Russia.

03:34.340 --> 03:36.500
OK, that's a much.
