Hi there.
In this lecture, we see a pain being exploited.
Can you find the right move to exploit a pain in this position if I give you five seconds to pause the
video?
OK, the power of the pen, peaceful pawns illusionary, so hopefully you've identified that this pawn
is actually penned absolutely.
To the king.
Can we make use of that?
Can we celebrate those illusionary squares which the pawn is not really protecting?
Because those are real, actual downsides of the opponent's position.
For example, this square is not really being protected if something took that pawn off.
This point is not going to be able to recapture.
So I hope you've spotted the first move.
It looks as though our Brooks attacks, though.
Hold on our rogues attack that we want to move the rook.
The thing is, if we take time to move the rug.
Sometimes opponents can really ruin our plans.
So there might be a strong move than actually addressing this France.
And that stronger move is actually Quig says, yes, letting it hadn't even taken its high road buys
us some time in effect.
So they take our rook off the King G2.
They can't really check us too much from here.
They can only find Rody to check or maybe Jiwon equally pointless after King Jeoffrey, they're going
to run out of checks.
Their queen is on the line, square and blocked in.
So what checks that I have either Ruchi 083.
So let's say we're free.
We just take with the pawn to leave our queen on six and how black actually handle this frat's of queen
size six mating you might think.
Oh well maybe it's not mating.
Maybe you know the bishop moves.
Yeah it's still actually chapei here because the pawn actually controls the escape square.
That is checkmate.
So you might want to hold on King's Cross.
This is all a bit flash is in this all about flash?
What if we just did move the rook wouldn't we've had time bronze thing.
He is an uncrowned king of the game.
He had a very close match against makeable.
And he said quite often the player with the move is in a great position and that is a big advantage
to have the move.
If he has the move here, they can actually maybe cause some issues.
If you give them the time to have a move, then Queen D7.
This is why it's quite good to keep things forcing, limiting the opponents replies so queen D7.
And now all of a sudden the hold on check and we've got complications here.
If we play here, you know Bishop see five check.
And is this so clear now.
It's not entirely clear is it.
We're going to be Penns.
This isn't right.
Clever Bishop takes effort to check and here they can even unbend.
Now with Queen takes E5.
What a total disaster.
So yes, sometimes being flash is also being pragmatic.
If you severely limit the opponent's replies that Queen's allowed to centralize in this position.
If we move on Rook, you can see we could be swindells here when we had this delightful queen Gesang.
Absolutely delightful with the Queen still asleep on C8.
So these tactics, sometimes they're not just flash, they aren't actually essential.
Rather than plain vanilla, we call them plain vanilla moves sometimes are inferior to flashy moves
like leaving a rock hanging.
It trades off a little bit of time.
Time can be of the essence, especially if the Queens friends come and centralize and start checking
you.
So I hope you enjoyed this example and got some points from it so much.
