Hi there.
In this lecture, we see a very, very interesting example of a skewer and we want to link the skirt
to actually a winning probability.
There's no good doing a skill for skewers sake where you're not actually winning, you're just treading
water.
There's actually a very, very powerful winning skewer available if you play your cards right here.
So I wonder if you can spot that.
This is from a grandmaster game example, Nigel Short against Rafael Loganathan.
So won't play.
What do you think, Nigel?
Short played.
OK, the crushing blow is bishop, if I check, it's kind of detaching the king away from the queen
so that now you can play, I hope you spotted this Quincey free check.
So, yes, this is a royal skua, an absolute skua.
The king moves and then black loses the queen.
This is so much more effective than just a plain vanilla check.
For example, Quincy Free Jack is just harmless, mostly homeless Camp seven.
And so what it will be, you know, someone's obviously kind spending still, you know, but there might
even be a draw.
Usually Straub's accomplish things.
So so essentially the skewer is really created here.
The effective power, powerful winning skill is created by dragging the king here and they're still
in alignment.
This is the thing to note that on the same line.
So if you're a user interface design specialist, by the way, in computers, you like things neatly
aligned.
Now, in chess, it's not sometimes good to have your pieces neatly aligned like it can lead to disasters.
This alignment is bad in this case because of Queen suffering.
It means that because your pieces are in the line, this tracking is picking up the other one, which
is also aligned.
So yeah, sometimes alignment of your own pieces can be a bad thing, but it's kind of encouraged her.
Yeah.
By this E5 So perhaps there were better moves for black to avoid this possibility.
So but on the other hand, if Black Hand played kinky sex as a bonus puzzle, can you see what White
could play here?
And this doesn't look good either for black.
OK, here we have it, just a double take a fork, and so they'll be winning.
So, yeah, there was there was a method in the madness for that to allow that.
Yeah.
More subtle attack, more subtle tactics.
So the game actually going on here in the game, it was this check and then black kind of was encouraged
to align like this.
And the alignment was kind of made use of by making this detachment of the king away from the queen
and black.
And she was there.
But if it continues, you know, this is a beautiful skua example.
So have you got that idea that Bishop E5 really, really nice.
Bishop E5 crushing blow.
They're emphasizing the power of a skewer.
OK, that's a much.
