Hi there in this very high profile example, Vishy Anand was playing against Garry Kasparov and it seems
all is kind of lost here.
In fact, it seems as though Vishy Anand is being crushed, but it is a blitz blitzing cancer.
And the faster the time patrols, more outrageous things can happen.
And there's an expression in chess, no game was ever won with resigning.
You'll win probability, go to zero when you resign.
So Vishy actually was hoping maybe for a nasty TASC tactical accident and it was delivered.
Kasparov in this position played Queen takes every there were so many moves, which actually has a massive
advantage, like F five.
At this level, this is it's just a massive advantage if you can't afford three, four, five, one,
two, three, four, five, six, seven.
And not only that, as a form pawn here, which is one of my favorite pawns, it's like a go hanging
pawn.
So it's a massive advantage on our five also, you know, black just castling.
It's a massive advantage or take in the night.
It's a massive advantage or even Lightsey free.
All of these are massive advantages.
It's Garry Kasparov, but he actually played Queen takes every guess what white can actually turn tables
here.
So this is the both, you know, former world chess champion, especially.
Anand's an amazing world chess champion.
Garry Kasparov, not only an amazing world chess champion, many regard him as the strongest player
of all time.
So you can't get a more high profile, for example, here than this one world champions meet.
So what do you think White played here?
And Garry Kasparov was visibly annoyed.
So if I give you five seconds to pause video, can you spot anything on the forking or double attack
kind of pattern?
A double attack, technically.
By the way.
Can be when you make a move and it's it happens to be there's two attacks on your parents position,
they might come at you from different places like, you know, technical nuance, which you don't really
need to know about, but if you're interested.
So anyway, this is a kind of four double attack.
They can be used quite often interchangeably.
The terms for called double take.
So do we have any kind of full or double attack here basically with the same piece that's actually.
More than two things attacked.
With this announcement.
It's so powerful, so when you have a move which does so much, it's like overwhelming to the opponent
and it's Queen 64.
So as one of the principle move, which we've played, which, you know, if you're playing online,
you will be distracted by the move play.
But look at the effects on the whole position.
The first golden thing I talk about when calculating, let's look at the whole possession of facts,
not just where you've moved the discovery of facts.
And there is a discovery on the queen as well.
So in effect, in effect, the queen has attacked the rookies, attacked the bishop, is attacked or
with one move.
And unfortunate because part of the knights is protecting that rook.
There's no queen takes rook.
So, yes, Small has to make a Kazakh concession here, and it enabled Vishy Anand to get back in the
game.
Kasparov just canceled and lost his queen.
And later in the game, there were there were no moves after essentially what was back in with a shot.
So, yeah, and the kind of ingredients for this double attack is an unprotected piece on C8 That's
why, you know, a lot of these other moves are actually including castling.
They're actually, you know, not defend their thing, just the act of casting sometimes make sure looks
defend each other so your rooks are less prone to being attacked if they're not fundamentally undefended.
You know, when you have these theoretical downsides, you know, the double attack is one of the ways
in which the opponent will expose those theoretical downsides, you know, so just counseling, there's
no problem.
No problem at all.
And also this, what we see here is also a weakness of the last move that queen takes, although, you
know, glorious looking, any move you'll find in chess and the stronger the opponent, you'll be also
intimidated psychologically by huge ratings and reputations.
But just remember, they have to make a move.
And when they make a move, there's always a weakness of the last move.
This is the first golden principle I like to emphasize.
You're looking out for weaknesses of the last, but it doesn't matter who they are, what their reputation
is, if they're world champion, don't worry about it.
Kilocalories squares is the second principle and the effects on the whole position.
So there's actually a weakness of the last move here as well.
Demonstrated then it's actually neglected.
This queen takes although glorious looking it's neglected for.
So that's the emergent opportunity here.
That G4 has been neglected.
So it's not only pouncing into that weakness, the last move, it's leveraging a kind of more move,
more than two pieces being attacked on this occasion.
So a mighty fork, a free piece is being attacked in this glorious example, so, yeah, it's a powerful
weapon.
When you double attack, you're overwhelming the opponent.
So even Garry Kasparov slipped up with the kind of wins of the last move here, allowing this crushing,
you know, not crushing, but it definitely got back in the game significantly.
OK, if you're wondering.
Yeah, she took the queen.
This is how the game finished.
So that form form was taken away and there was still a bit of fighting.
Kasparov is not going to go down that easily.
So the game did continue.
And this is beyond the scope of this selection to really explain these moves too much by the is kind
of exposed the night Queena coordinating.
So there's a further concession here because of the multiple fronts that takes was played at.
Kasparov is trying to meit's, by the way, he's not giving up hope as well.
He's trying to maximize his win probability.
Set up a maiffret overcatch six.
You know, if the creation of that would be meeting I just put on the board if a for this would be meeting.
So why it has to be careful.
This is checkmate.
So it has to be careful.
Yeah.
So Gitanes gives the king some air escapes from Jeoffrey, but the game eventually, eventually was
wrapped up.
I mean, Kasparov must have been really, really annoyed about the initial Forkan here.
There's a lot of pressure on J7, which is very difficult to parry between the queen and Rook.
So, OK, yeah, I had to say the rest of the cards, but yeah, the folk the major folk incident occurred
here.
Queen 64.
Yeah.
I like to say a few things along the way.
And each of these, these lectures, you know, about unprotected pieces in general, you don't want
to give yourself theoretical downsides of unprotected pieces.
It's the focal of the attack, which is often going to pick that up to overwhelm you.
You know, you wouldn't have had to handle this extra kind of move frat's if it had been a protected
rogue.
If Blacket just cancelled, for example.
You know, sometimes, you know, that's also a basic principle, the opening strike early.
But usually we associate castling early, you know, with bringing the rock towards the center and improving
the King-Size.
But there's also this other aspect that might also be protecting, you know, other pieces as well,
adding some security to your position in the kind of materialistic sense that the pieces are protecting
each other in general.
That's the good state to be and makes the positions easier to play.
OK, so yeah, I made a slip up with Quintet's Alone, this quintet's G4.
OK, thanks very much.
