Either in this like, shall we revisit those relative value of the pieces that we talked about earlier
on in the course where we actually mention that a pawn is just one one?
Well, in that case, is black winning because a rookie is one, five is black winning here?
Let's assume the race won't play a move.
Now, based on what we know about the special abilities of the pieces and pawns, you might discover
a reversal of values here.
So in this position, who do you think's winning white or black, if it's white to move?
OK, it turns out well, because pawns can queen that special ability that we talked about when we got
to know the peace more, it makes them very, very dangerous to pawns.
On the sixth rank, there's even a famous chess quotation to connected passports on six rank are worth
their weight in gold.
So this is a classic example.
So here we can actually try and queen one of the pawns.
First thing to queen the rook can go behind that pawn to try and stop it.
But there's a move here which actually just wins in this particular possession.
Can you see what that is if I give you five seconds to pull the video?
How does one win this?
OK, be seven, this is we'll talk about rotation soon, but be seven for the moment is like --'s
B seven, you just say be seven and now Sadef rooked tanks --.
Then we just queen.
We turn into a queen check and then we're taking that rock and we're queen up.
So, yeah, the initial possession, it looks as though we've only got two units.
That's why that should only be taken with a pinch of salt.
It's not on your exact position.
It's that guide to the relative value of the pieces where we said a pawn is worth one, rook is worth
five and is worth three.
A bishop is worth four and a half.
The King's infinite is only based on the peace mobility.
If they're stuck in the center of the board, you might want to hold on.
Hold on a second question.
What about these checks back?
Keep checking perpetual check.
The king can walk over here in this case and stop any perpetual check.
Then went back to this situation.
We play this and then, OK, there's one or two more checks, but then here there's no more checks from
the rook being captured.
You know, check here.
We're just going to we're going to take that route.
So we're back to that situation where we're winning.
So this is just one example of millions which make the game of chess very beautiful and dynamic and
unfortunately not as clear cut as, say, watching a European football match where you know what the
score is.
You can't just count the pieces and know what the score is on the chessboard.
You have to treat each possession on its own merits.
But that also makes the game very powerfully attractive and interesting.
So just bear that in mind, the value of the pieces really depends on the position you're in.
So this is just one example of that.
OK.
That's a much.
