High that in this nation, I'd like to introduce you to a scare tactic example so hair won't play,
can actually use a scare tactic, but you might want to have a go to see if you can find the best move
hair.
There's one or two moves in this position which are really good.
I make use of a securitising.
Can you find out the best move if I give you five seconds to think about this position, you want to
clean the --, so you're going up the board and you know you want to be able to win from this position.
So what's a very, very good move?
OK, there are two good moves.
One of the clearest is just rook hair.
And basically you're threatening to queen.
So they end up having to take the pawn here.
And now we have a skewer this chac.
So the skewer is a bit like a reverse pin in that there is an arrangement of line pieces.
It's the line pieces like the rook, the bishop and queen, which can indulge in skewers.
So this is not the realms of knights and pawns.
We can see the rock is tracking and as the king moves, the king has to move.
And it's going to be an absolutely winning position now for weight.
So that's a great use of a skewer.
And also, by the way, if you thought of this move, we get the same thing here.
If plac takes and then we check take.
Yeah.
So essentially, even if King f7, we can just queen here.
And that's also winning in this particular position, we're still going to win that rook.
So the skua is like if you look at the arrangement, it's like a reverse spin.
Sometimes it's known as in some quarters as a reverse pan in that.
There's the arrangement of pieces where instead of the pins peace being the less valuable to the more
expensive piece, the more expensive piece is in the center here and the less expensive piece is here.
And now this kind of skewer is actually called an absolute skewer, like absolutely has to react when
it's a relative skewer, like a relative pin.
There are often options in some in some cases just to ignore the relative skewer.
But here is an absolute skewer and it absolutely wins from this position with either G AIDS or eight.
So we're setting up a skewer essentially in my arms.
But hold on.
Hold on.
King's Cross, you want to check these checks are only in the short term.
The king just walk over here and then eventually, you know, the decision will have to be made.
At this point, I'd like to take that form.
And so we get that skewer.
So this is an absolute skewer.
So it's a very, very important tactic to know about.
You can think of it a bit like a reverse pan, and it would still have the two forms, you know, the
absolute pan or the relative pan.
We have here an absolute skewer because it's the king in the center and you can have a relative skewer
where it could be a queen, usually a queen in the center.
So it's usually a more expensive piece being skewered, you know, and there's a kind of less expensive
piece.
There's also you could think of it as this piece, the rook is kind of x ring the rook here, but we've
set it up in this position.
We've actually set up a skewer by offering that point to get this placement, this alignment.
So sometimes these alignments of the opponents pieces in a line does make them ripe for skewering.
So, OK, this is just a very basic example and it's also very important for your component endings
as well.
So two birds with one stone.
I hope you'll make use of this kind of rope move in.
And games like this, we want Queen of Pawn and you're a bit frustrated.
You don't see a way of not losing it.
So the answer is actually just lose it.
Get this translate this passport into a skewer.
That's the way to win this position you're translating into sometimes.
It's also called a royal skill when when it's a king and center, but technically it's an absolute skua.
OK, so that's the principle of obscure.
Let's look at some more examples.
That's so much.
