Hi there.
You're playing black in this situation, can you spot anything really wonderful that you can do here
if I give you five seconds to pull the video?
Can you arrange the so-called smothered pattern, big clue so shackle checks doesn't matter how outrageous
they are.
Can we set the tone for this pattern so the king would be surrounded ideally by all of its own pieces
taking up escape squares?
So in this position, is there such a move?
OK, so five seconds from now.
OK, Queen Jiwon check.
It doesn't matter how they recapture this, it's going to be a smothered meat pattern.
If they take the night, it's night have to and that's checkmate.
If they take the rook again, the king is surrounded.
They have to is checkmate.
So I love this map with my pattern.
And believe it or not, you won't believe it.
But this game is from sixteen.
Twenty.
That's right.
16 20 is one of the earliest recorded smothered Mike Patterson games and no name Salatin, actually,
but we like to call it nothing against the Sheikh Yassin El Greco.
So Grecco, one of the earliest writers players of the game.
So this is amazing kind of artifacts of chess history.
I can't help but show you how the game, almost 84, is a good movie, five and both points came out
and both bishops came out and this might be one of your games might look one of you like one of your
games.
And what happens for it to be such a disaster might push the pawn.
1964 happened while 1964.
You might want to put your 1964 is reCAPTCHA.
Well, the Queen came in and hits both of these two pawns and it was a very difficult situation.
We ended up playing my afraid, but we should have some empathy here if we don't play Jeoffrey.
Yeah, can you spot how we shot my hair as a puzzle?
OK, we'll have a more common garden as support checkmate where the queen is supported by the night.
So, yeah, 1964 created a kind of weakness of the last move because the noise is no longer standing
golden age for like the Kompong.
Yeah, we're bouncing in on that new golden opportunity that we lost when we sacrifice the whole piece
there to get the situation.
And it's a very dangerous situation.
And in fact, there's there's another kind of sad puzzle here.
If Bishop takes there's another kind of mating pattern I haven't introduced yet.
But if age takes one is black play here for 500 points bonus.
It's another kind of mating pattern that they've been given names.
There's loads of these mating patterns.
But the two I want to introduce you in this particular course emphasises the background smothered by
his.
Here's another mating pattern just in this game.
There's one game we have Queensrÿche for.
It's delivering the checkmate and the king is stopped from using Jiwon.
So yeah, this classic game from sixteen twenty.
We learn all of this stuff about chess in this game in sixteen twenty.
And believe me, there are millions of games being played each day now.
So if we can get this level of insight from a game played in sixteen twenty.
Yeah, there's a lot to learn in chess.
But here I'm saying that the main crux of it is this mother, the main outcome of this particular game.
So I hope you enjoyed that.
And a historical artifacts from sixteen twenty.
That's so much.
