Hi there.
In this example of a skua, which is coming up, Garry Kasparov is playing against Stefano Tarty.
So this is in the 1986 Chess Olympiad.
So Kasparov to play play is actually a very interesting move to start off with a move, 39 queen aged
six Czech now after King is seven.
Do you move the night bank?
It's a tax, isn't it, by both queen and King, or do you do something extra special here?
Now you'll notice that actually Black's pieces are in alignment here.
They are neatly aligned.
So when your opponent's pieces are neatly lines, maybe that's a kind of sense that something might
be up in terms of a secure.
So what do you think is more of a plate here than a retreat, the knight or does he play something else?
I'll give you five seconds to pause the video.
What would you play?
OK, he played an absolutely crushing move, Kwangju seven Jack.
And after King takes Desex, we have a beautiful skua, they are aligned, still make the lines and
that's a bit of a downside in chess.
Sometimes Queen Efate check and Black has to resign.
Blacks can lose the queen.
So, yeah, look out for neatly aligned arrangements and you might ask how long.
Hold on a second squasher.
What about King here?
Well, actually, Queen Efate Jack is winning here as well.
If King size seven, can you see what white plays here?
If I give you five seconds here, extra bonus puzzle within this puzzle, puzzles can be taken from
real games, by the way, they don't have to be artificially constructed or they can be from variations
which didn't even occur in a particular game.
So like here, this didn't occur.
But we can still make a kind of chess puzzle out of it.
Might be five chac.
So that's attacking the queen and also Czech, which needs to be addressed.
So this would be winning the Queen as well.
So yeah, when your opponent's pieces are kind of neatly aligned, you know, look out for these skewer,
skewer possibilities.
I enjoyed that one as much as me.
OK, thanks so much.
