Hi there.
This is a very tricky one indeed.
I have to say, you have to kind of remove the defensive hero before giving it another go.
Your first go at this might actually fail.
You might need to work out how was there any defensive hero?
And that's part of the reason why it fails.
So it's almost as if you do some analysis on the position and kind of do a post-mortem and say, what
if there wasn't that defensive piece?
And then you realize actually from the outset you could have nudged that defensive piece away.
So this is a close to you.
It's it's very, very tricky.
But we can actually make use of pins here.
It's a very advanced use of pens.
So what do you think the crushing move is if I give you five seconds pause video.
So very, very tricky.
OK, the first crushing move is actually rookie six.
And if you look at this, the queen has to stand by for the rook.
We're making use of this kind of relative pin.
So if.
Offtakes we play rotates a fake check and we'll be meeting.
That's pretty clear cut.
So we nudged the queen away that way.
And if the queen goes here, we're just taking her.
You know, it's a weakness.
We must move.
The queen has to stay on duty over Efate.
Can't go there.
Same reason.
So the queen hasn't got that many moves.
And we can't take the to rotate the face of the queen stands guard on Efate.
So what have we actually done here?
We've created a weakness of the last move.
We've created a kind of neglect of F7.
And now how do we exploit both a kind of relative and an absolute pin with one move here, which is
absolutely crushing?
OK, can you hear what now you play?
OK, it's Ruggie six, so there's an absolute ping going along here and it's a kind of roads have been
here.
So this is out of the question taking.
So what does black do?
There's only one kind of defensive resource, RUGGIE eight, and it's here.
This is a weakness of the last move in the glass f7, but it only neglects F7 making a significant witness
the last move because we've nudged that Queensway earlier and we can actually crash through with rotates
f7.
So we're threatening here.
Chatterley, which is very difficult to defend.
What Black can do is try a few checks.
This Jack Kajita and now there is no check available on Bates.
So this is why this is really tricky.
That's the only check from the Queen, which is kind of legitimate.
If Queen Desex, we're going to take Queen somewhere.
But there is a check, Jeoffrey.
Now, Black really is running out of checks.
Black really can't handle this maiffret.
So Black can try checking to try and drag the queen away.
But we don't want to drag queen away because then route takes desex.
So we actually move our king to H1 if we move our king to G.
Well, I did tell you, this is tricky.
I know this is a really unfair puzzle, but I mean, the follow up is you don't have to see all this
follow up.
I mean, you'd have to be a GM grandma to see this by this, you know, could cause some problems as
well.
Or doesn't it doesn't really.
We aren't we are protecting Jeoffrey.
More accurate is actually king age one.
So and then the checks will run out like this.
We can just move OKing over and then just, you know, take care.
It's just checks per check sake.
There's no real defense on H7.
So, you know, can I get MITers so you might want to.
OK, squasher what on earth.
Like I did try on this and I found, you know this desex.
Yeah.
Why, why is this so different.
Well the thing is Ruchi AIDS rotates.
Yeah.
Because we f7 is not available.
Yeah.
So thanks, guys, we can try rock left, but, you know, blacks got resources here if we try rock
left to try rock for.
I mean, on the surface, it looks a little bit as though this could be dangerous.
But black can actually defend this way, for example, the one check and you know, Rook Desex says
as one example.
And if Ruggie for, you know, Jesus is defendable, I know this is a bit of a naughty, pretty advanced
scenario.
However, it does have Penns involved and it shows a kind of great application, a kind of killer application
appends to take away the defensive heroes before you start getting to work on the Chapman.
So that what that is what makes jazz so unbelievably hard.
You know, this is why there's so many thousands of, you know, ratings in chess.
Chess is not like north and crosses.
There are seriously difficult positions where a certain player might see the increased subtlety of things
going on rather than someone lower rated by the higher ratings might be able to knock out the opponents
from this amazing rookie.
Six.
First, the lower rate players might be trying RUGGIE Sex and the opponent.
Just offense, you know.
RUGGIE And it's really inadequate.
This attack, in fact, you know, desex immediately as well.
We don't even have to run a check and blacks are actually going to be better off here.
So, you know, sometimes there are tactics and there are tactics.
But I'd like you to bear in mind that also sometimes you do calculations to gain an insight into a position,
and that insight could be, well, what was the key hero and why it didn't work.
Almost as if you've done a postmortem but with a vengeance, because I actually.
Hold on.
You haven't yet committed to that.
It's only in the mind's eye, right?
You only committed to that sequence of the mind's eye, whether it was the defensive hero.
So because you haven't committed I mean, is there anything you can sort of adjust things, the outcome
by removing the defensive hero?
It's a very, very advanced one.
Very, very tricky if you got this, you know, 10000 points instead of the usual thousand points.
OK, thanks very much.
