Hi there.
White has an amazing combination hair which leverages the so-called Blackburne mating pattern named
after a British player, Blackburne very, very strong British player.
So I wonder if you can spot it.
If I give you five seconds for the video clue, this burcham is kind of x raying some escape squares
of the opponent's can.
Also that escapes who has been taken by both bishop and queen.
So there's not too many squares for the king to escape to in principle.
So sometimes when that happens, when there's a lack of escape squares, we're looking to deliver a
killer check.
The scene is set.
So I wonder if you can spot it.
Five seconds here.
What would you play in this position?
OK, all checks, even totally outrageous ones, Queen six 87 check very limited replies to calculate
night takes and the liberation effect of that move.
When you calculate variations in general, even if you didn't know this mating pattern, it opens up
the bishop.
So you're looking at weakness of the last move, kellow, common squares and also kind of in effect
clause.
In effect, you've opened up the bishop to the HHS.
So the effect of that move isn't just taking on that --, but now we can play.
Bishop takes H7 and it's checkmate.
So a key feature.
The bishops are working together to deliver that checkmate.
And here the night is controlling that escapes quite as well.
So it's working with the bishops to checkmate the opponents.
King like this, the Blackburne mating pattern, something to be aware of.
OK, have you got that one?
That's how much.
