Hi there.
In this example, we're going to see the Max Planck checkmate.
So this is named after a player called Max Max Lang.
Believe it or not.
So this is kind of, Anderson, one of the strongest players in the world at the time in 1859.
It's a little bit of analysis.
Apparently, it's not a real game.
It's a bit of analysis.
Now here, how this black actually checkmate here.
Can you spot how if I give you five cents portfolio, can you work it all out?
There's a clever mechanism which is definitely worth knowing about and recognizing that you can actually
checkmate quite effectively with just Queen and Bishop sometimes,
OK?
It starts with Queene one chank.
So we've got a killer common square, it seems.
Jiwon between the bishop and Queen, we have an inch thick Helicon and square.
But if we play Queen Guancheng, the king can run away a little bit.
Jeoffrey, we don't want the king actually running to Jeoffrey.
And in fact, we can make our attack work with just checks and see now the accent, believe it or not,
as we chat, checkmate in the final move.
So, in fact, the key move here, what do you think the key move here is if I give you five seconds
for the video?
Sometimes you want more of a good thing whilst the bishop is controlling an escape.
I wonder if the bishop could control Jeoffrey as well.
Is that really mega ambitious or achievable, it's actually achievable here for Bishop Jiwon check so
here on King H1, guess what we play?
OK, we actually have to check and it's all running a check, so this is a free of charge to do this,
we've essentially improved our bishop.
A little micro has been generated.
We're controlling an escape, Squire Jeoffrey, now, which means that on King to guess what, I hope
you can spot it.
Queen Jiwon is my very, very efficient stuff with Bishop and Queen, the bishop controlling the key
escapes going here.
So if we look at this again, quite often, this will be the case where you want to use this mechanism
rather than, say, driving the king out and having a lot of hassle, etc..
So this is the way to do it.
Bishop, do you check?
It's a very, very neat mechanism indeed.
Very elegant, in my view, how the bishop controls that Jeoffrey escape square and got that through
checks kind of free of charge.
When you gain tempo's, it's like you're doing things for free.
You're gaining time in the process.
OK, I enjoyed that one.
And recognize this Max Lang male pattern.
Or you could think of it like a clever bishop and queen working together.
OK, that's so much.
