Why they're in this position, a lot of the initial legwork has been made for you.
This is Raymond Keane finishing off someone in a semi, and he actually plays the most precise move
in this position, which is a clearance stall tactic.
So what would you play in this position if I give you five seconds to pull the video for the absolute
best move, which actually forces a checkmate?
In very short order.
OK, the move is actually bishop G-7.
It clears out this connection, if we look, the connection we want is essentially Queen seven, we
don't want to give the opponent any micro upsides when we play on moves.
And sometimes to do that, you know, it might involve a sacrifice like this.
If you play Bishop takes our fate, although this is technically winning, it delays things because,
you know, King takes off check night.
We are still technically winning.
Sure.
But it's not as clear cut, you know, game on for a little bit.
But with this move, this is really the end of game one is now threatening queen checkmate.
So what does black do?
It's very, very f, you know, winning in short order if a queen, 87 Shammi as well as Queen, I mean,
if King takes, then Queen 87 is checkmate.
So, yes, it's just sometimes we need to clear our pieces, but bear in mind, we we don't want to
give the opponent any kind of micro upsides and do that.
You know, we should be prepared to sometimes sacrifice material to make sure nothing is given to the
opponent.
This might have been a blitz game.
You might need to finish the on, you know, just like that I was going to lose on time.
So it's good sometimes to be optimal and efficient.
It's always trade offs, though.
In other situations, you might not want to use a sacrifice if you can't calculate it all very clearly
and cleanly.
So, I mean, it's all trade offs and chess, but this is a nice clarance start finish.
Very precise on this particular in this particular position.
It's absolutely crushing.
OK, so I hope you found that a much.
