Hi, they're in this lecture, say you're playing white.
It's your turn to move.
What would you play in this position in terms of capturing?
There are a couple of things to capture, at least.
In fact, there are multiple captures in this position to consider.
You could consider 1965 wrote AIDS.
Bishop of seven, queen of seven, queen takes a seven.
So what would be the wisest capture available to you in this position?
And have a look at that point system we have to factor in recapturing when the opponent recaptures.
So I hope you can pause the video here and work out what would be the absolute best capture in this
position.
OK, the absolute best capture would be to take the queen because the queen is worth nine units.
And if we look, there's actually no reCAPTCHA there in check, actually, there would have to move
their king.
And we're in great shape here if we'd if we had played Bishop takes F7 Chank.
Well, they can recapture.
We have to look a little bit ahead to see the recapture.
So we haven't actually gained that much compared to the previous position.
We gained just one unit perform and we lost the Bishop three point five.
So overall we made a loss there.
If we had played 1995, in fact, aurochs hanging a piece is hanging.
It means it can be taken or Rook is hanging.
So we'd actually be losing a whole rook five.
That's not a good idea generally.
If we talk here, this is one of the worst we you know, we're giving the option for the opponents to
take a drag queen or rock.
So that's not so good either.
It's not as good as the others anyway.
It's not as good as taking the Queen Mother.
So if you look at this position, look at those points, values generally you want to win material.
Material was one of the most important elements of the position.
There are other elements of the position to consider.
It's not just material, but in your initial like learning about chess, it's important to be able to
keep track of material balance in a position as a high priority.
So have Rook takes eight was the right capture from that point system we introduced to that point system
and we say the king's infinite.
If you're going to checkmate opponents king sometimes, then you can even give up material, as we'll
find out later in the course.
So, yeah, I hope you've considered the captures in the recaptures and basically there's a hanging
queen in its position.
If you identify hanging piece in particular and it's Wacek, so that's a bonus.
So yeah, it rotates queen here.
OK.
Have you got that.
That's much.
