Hi there.
In this example, the great Bobby Fischer is playing against Edward Stephan's and Black is just played
B5.
Now it looks as though intuitively, perhaps it's one of those positions where in opposite side castling,
usually it's like just a race to checkmate each other's kings, black, maybe a little bit too incautious
playing this B5 move because actually white doesn't even have to move the pawn or go for sex.
There is something far, far stronger in this position based on.
A kind of alignment which can be created here by whites based on B5, can you see Fisher's next move
and why it can lead to a potentially dangerous skua possibility?
If I give you five cents for the video, how can you actually make the allowing the opponent's pieces
is the first question, because sometimes these cures are very subtle.
You know, subtle downsides in the opponent's position needs to be brought to the surface.
So the instinct is to try and just rip open the AFL generally in this kind of and situation.
But in fact, Bobby Fisher played Meeteetse Sex of the Queen takes.
We do have this kind of alignment of pieces.
And is there a move which kind of taps into that with a big advantage here?
OK, there is and it's again, it's not a poor move, it's just tapping into this Niek figuration overly
needs downside rather than downside.
The available configuration, you could say 95 and it threatens 1967 CHAC.
So a mighty fork there for King, King and queen.
And the snag is, if black takes, then there's that skua queen against Rook.
So black actually is in a bad way here.
And in fact here is an exercise for you.
Puzzle situation Queen Bee seven.
There's still that alignment.
Isn't there a queen and rook?
What would you play in this position to explain skua if I give you five seconds here?
OK, you can actually play nice, safe sex chat, so they have to respond to the Bishop D5 skewering
Queen against Rock.
So, yeah, it's these these neat alignments can be to the opponent's downfall.
So after 19th Queen 95 in the game also, by the way, I mean, let's have a look.
When we hear quinsy seven is another type of tactic.
I hope you can spot it.
There's a witness to the last move.
It has neglected the B Square.
But also, you know, although the pieces are not aligned, they are kind of forkball because they're
on the same color.
If there's a light around and you've got pieces on the same color, yeah.
Then they can come in and -- the queen and rook there.
So that's no good either.
Yeah.
So black in the game.
Tried this catch eight.
We have nine takes six.
And because now of this horrible bishop d5 if black recaptures yeah there will be bishop d5.
Ouch.
In fact this is like winning an entire year.
There's not even a recapture at the end of it.
It's one of those situations which is more ideal.
The the most ideal winning highest winning percentage usually of obscure is when they can't even recapture
when you've taken that low valued pace and they can't here immediately recapture.
So that is particularly painful.
So painful, in fact, that black just accepted the loss of a night and just carried on.
It was a young for sure at this time, 957, pretty young.
Fifty eight of us open.
So blacks just played on playing on a piece down.
And now another kind of kind of pin really this is are pinning the lower rated, the lower valued pace,
rather, to the high value.
So Fisher pens that bishop.
So you can see that the pen is also, you know, the peninsula kind of related.
Let's do with the line pieces.
So Rook's bishops queens to do things in alignment.
It's just you're being more specific where you're saying the more valuable pieces in between and there's
a kind of X, right.
And you still have this concept of relative skewers, an absolute scarce or relative Penns an absolute
Penns here.
It's a relative pin and it means that now Bishop takes forsakes as Bishop takes Rook.
So the opponents just played that and now Bishop takes T7, checks away.
It's just a piece up with the weakened line squares.
Just your interest.
The Queen is now threatening to come in Queen six and then the effects will be crushing.
So Black has to do something about that.
Just put that on the board.
This is a little bonus, a better insight.
Check and see here.
Then have sex.
Check will be mating.
So yes, it's absolutely devastating in handling of sex.
There's no easy way of defending the so black played on a few more moves, lost the sex.
And, you know, it's just absolutely crushing position.
And in fact, yeah.
Another sweet tactic here by Fisher Queen takes f7 check, creating a nice -- in the end.
Now I absolutely love Fisher James because he's a real tat's cool monster even as early as 1956, basically
game in the century.
And that's why if you want to check out Fisher, check out my Fisher courses.
I'm absolute fan of his tactical genius.
So you can see even to the very end, he didn't let the opponent off.
He might use all of his tactical possibilities.
And yeah, he's like Hawkeye vorst for these skua possibilities.
So here Rook takes the seven and now depending on the ponies, hotsy down on zero.
But yeah, the key point of the game is earlier, where our base instincts of the B5 wouldn't be immediately
to look out for the skewers.
But there's another way around this.
You don't have to look out for alignment necessarily.
Just look for, you know, prioritization of forcing moves.
Sometimes the patterns give us leverage.
And, you know, the census follows patterns like pieces in alignment give us leverage as well.
But if we prioritize forcing those, we should be able to shackle checks, captures and threats of maintenance.
So this capture should be calculated.
And this this is kind of frat.
It does limit the opponents replies because it is frightening.
1987.
And then by the process of calculation, again, if you calculate all the captures, you end up looking
at 98 and then Bishop 85 is a threat which limits the opponent, implies it can be calculated, this
stuff.
But in the game, you just gave out a piece.
So you can also in theory, you don't need, you know, any patterns, whatever.
Computers don't need to be fed patterns.
The reason we've had patterns where humans it's like we've got a very, very advanced kind of neural
network style brain where we're given examples, examples, examples.
That's why I like giving you examples, because it's kind of reinforcing, you know, our brains detection
of those patterns, but also during a game.
Yeah, you can do a bit of work on your calculation, prioritizing the forcing moves.
So look at all the checks the captious and the frat's like of beating one or two especially.
OK, so the skua kind of the behind the scenes.
And let's have like just not recapturing because of the almighty score the five.
OK, thanks very much.
