Hi there.
In this lecture, we see an iconic example of deflection, the great make up of former world chess champion
against Paul Karez, an uncrowned king of the game.
He was world championship material for sure.
And so here McConnell, poverty has the move.
Paul Karras has just defended, crucially, the for --.
If one gains access to this --, it would be menacing.
What would be frightening?
Kinect seven checkmates.
But alas, the queen is the defensive hero for the moment.
Can we make the defensive hero go on holiday?
Can we deflect that pace?
So deflection is a kind of removal, not removal of the offender, but in effect says it is the remove
and is telling them to go away.
You don't always have to remove the defender to stop performing its defensive duty.
We can't remove the queen, but we can persuade the queen to go on holiday.
So that's also very, very useful here.
How do we do that in this position?
So if I give you five cents for the video, can you see an amazing iconic diffraction move, suspend
as long as you want to find this?
This is a really classic example.
OK.
Now, when you when I say check who checks, captures and frets about one, there might not be any checks.
But second best sometimes is checks on the queen.
They are valuable tempo gainer's.
They kind of limit the opponent's replies.
And here for sure, we're not just gaining a tempo with this next move.
We're using a deflection and it's the eight.
Deflecting the Queen away from each for the Queen hasn't got easier because the night
has not have sex, because the night has not g5 because the bishop.
So the Queen is forced away from age for.
And the game actually ended here, if Queen Saxbe ain't Queen age four is decisive, how can Black actually
defend H7?
Black can try and check, but just catch one.
There's no more checks here, which are any any use, if not G5, that's the last straw.
But just Bishop Jakes G5 eliminating that defender and we're going to be checkmating.
You know, if I quit Eighty-seven check and I could make this case cause covered by two pieces, the
Knights and the bishop here.
So it's a very neat deflection stall tactic, which is heavily celebrated as a major example.
Rootbeer, it's a beauty for sure.
Hope you spotted it and found that interesting and insightful.
OK, thanks so much.
