Hi there.
You may recognize this position.
This is from the famous opera game of pool Morphy, or you might not have seen it before, but anyway,
I won't play here delivers a fantastic checkmate.
If you check all checks, all the forcing moves, you may be able to find this wonderful checkmate sequence
from here.
So white playing.
What would you play here?
So even the most totally outrageous tracks, consider them go a little bit further, see if there's
any killer common squares where more than one of your pieces combine on a key square.
So that's the art of calculation, the process of calculation as well.
But we can admire the pattern as well that results.
OK, the key move is Queen Bee Achak after nighttime's, it kind of liberates that rock looking all
the way down to the eight, which is a killer common square so we can play Rook the eight chameides.
So in this case, the rook is actually the one delivering charmayne supported by the bishop.
So it's named after this particular game.
This opera might you might have wondered how.
Hang on, King's Cross.
Why wasn't the movie named after the opera game?
That's actually a good question.
No, there's more people, Wolf, he gets to chat, is named after him, basically two for the price
of one.
That's good news.
Is that so there's this opera that was quite specific, is that there's the construction and the bishop
supporting the rook.
Does the chemie and the poor Morphy make to distinguish is where the bishops like doing the checkmate
and the work is controlling the escape square.
So interesting to contrast the two if you want to remember these patterns.
But the essential thing is it's yeah.
Rook and Bishop cooperating quite well and sometimes it's not the answer.
Chakma is not quite correct and Squyres it's.
Certain of your pieces are controlling all the escape squares and then you got a cherry on top, you've
got a killer check on top.
So the art of chameides is that art.
You're essentially taking out the escape sequence systematically.
Opponents can deliver a wonderful Chamique check made at the end to celebrate that lack of escape squares.
So those making that constructions, hopefully you get better and better in real games, also being
highly alert and sensitive.
So whenever there's even the slightest change, any opponent's escape squares or lack of escape squares
start looking out, honing in for forcing move sequences, which can really celebrate that fact of the
chess board.
If that is in the magic facts of your current position, you really want to celebrate that potential
downside, downside being lack of escape squares.
OK, so Opera Checkmates named after the famous opera game.
That's so much.
