Why they're in this election, I want to show you an interesting example of the so-called discovered
check.
So here, how do you think we can check the opponent's king?
Well, in fact, we could move a piece which doesn't directly change the opponents king, but indirectly
we can move this rook and wherever we move this rook, it's a check.
And I hope you can see why.
So in my more advanced course of the complete go into tactics, which you might want to check how I
cover all sorts of tactical ideas, but I always say there's three golden rules when looking at chess
positions for each of you have to look at the weakness of the last move.
The common squares that your pieces creates and the discovery effects around the board and here is a
discovery check example, there is a discovery that this bishop is now checking the opponent's king
and we can choose the most advantageous way of doing this.
Like here it would be check if we move the rook here, we can see it's check.
So this makes chess even more exciting that your opponent might sometimes be confused by these moves
and thinking, well, am I in check?
My mind check?
Because they look at just your last move, but they don't look at the whole position.
So in chess, you really need to look at the whole position.
When it's your turn, it's you don't you can't just look at where the opponent's piece just moved to
see all the dangers.
Sometimes there's discovered attacks on things and it might not be your king, it might be your queen.
So here it is.
Check and the most valuable thing you can do, the best move, in my view here, is to take off this
knight.
Yes, you're allowed to do this.
So you've not only taken off an opponent's piece, they have to oblige to handle this check.
So you're having a really fun time here, because if they move the king now, we can take the rook.
Isn't that absolutely amazing?
Discovered checks.
It's called like the dive bomber of the chess board.
It's a very, very exciting tactical tool disposal.
So, you know, discovery checks, they're very, very powerful and often decisive in most games, especially
so discover Checks is discovering a check against the opponent's king.
So it means just remember that you should really be looking at the whole board, not just where your
opponent's last move is, OK, and so much.
