Hi there.
In this example, Black has just taken the pawn on E4 now as part of this lecture.
I'm going to introduce you to something really, really important about chess, that you're going to
win most games tactically.
And that's why my course, the complete Glad's chess tactics, by the way, is so important that you
check out after this course.
It's essential because you're going to win most games tactically.
You're going to force the opponent to react with tactics.
It's not going to be some long term.
You know, in 20 minutes time, you might win.
Tactics are more immediate.
You're getting an immediate reaction from the opponents.
And here you can get an immediate reaction from the opponent.
But to create wonderful tactics, you need to have a certain mindset.
The mindset is the prioritization of forcing moves.
One of the major tricks, like magic tricks about chess.
And you'll see this from Beth Harman.
The Queen's Gambit Netflix series is how she could visualize positions in advance, but that's often
helped.
If the number of choices of the opponents is reduced, you'll be able to see more moves ahead if there's
actually less choices, if it was more or less forced.
And as a result, you really need to prioritize looking at forcing moves and a common way to help you
look at the most forcing moves is to consider the checks, the captures and the threats of Matsen.
One or two, especially checks captures in France, is a common expression you could use in your games
and in any possession.
If you want to prioritize the forcing moves, look for the checks and the forcing moves and see where
they lead, because sometimes you can literally win a possession by force.
Now here, why its play can actually win this by force.
Can you see an important check?
And you have to disregard sometimes, by the way, the scores that we mentioned at the start of the
course, that's an overview guide.
It really depends on the position, what the value of the pieces are.
So here, just be open minded and check all the channels, even the most outrageous checks, they need
to be checked out and this will win you so many games, so many.
And I say this to you now, because if you do start to get put off, if you lose a few games, just
train this aspect of your chest.
TotEx, train yourself to look at forcing mauves as a high priority.
So check all the checks, all the captions, all friends of mine wanted to say, hey, is there a key
check which might be useful?
And we evoke a kind of back chromate pattern because if you notice here, the king hasn't got that much
air.
The king's on.
So it's not like it's on.
So it doesn't have access to F7.
It's only got access to these two squares.
But already the noise is actually controlling G-7.
So the king does seem to be in an awkward kind of back rotating position.
If only we could somehow.
Prove that that there is a risk.
How can you prove that your opponent here?
So if I give you five seconds, what would you play in this position?
So prioritize forcing moves and what you come up with.
And if you do, I'll give you a thousand virtual points if you find this next move.
And I hope you start seeing the beauty of chess as well, Queen takes physics check very, very forcing.
The opponent has to react.
Now, if Kingsgate then we just play Queen G7 checkmate.
So Rook takes and now we bring our rook down and it's a back row.
Checkmate.
It's going to be anyway.
Black can technically delay with this and then with this, but we end up with Jack and the king can't
escape.
I really hope you like this example and the examples in this section.
And then you're joining me to have a passion within a passion, which is chess tactics within the broader
passion of chess.
I really hope you join me in that passion within a passion and be strong tactically.
That was one of my hallmarks.
And, you know, later I even won a national under 18 in 1989, Lloyds Bank junior under 18.
I was always strong, you know, from the get go tactically.
And that's why I will put a spin on tactics in this course, because I want you to experience the joys
that I did and you're going to get most results tactically.
So try and be a tactical monster.
That's your mission in the next few days and weeks.
Become a tactical monster.
Start solving a few tactical puzzles each day like this one.
Try for accuracy, quality over quantity.
Try and get 100 percent right.
If you only tackle ten and it takes you hours, only tackle time.
But make sure you try and get them 100 percent right.
Don't try and tackle thirty and get something right.
Go for quality accuracy to start off with and then later work on speed, but try and get them all 100
percent right and ideally without guessing.
So from the initial position, the ideal here is not to guess any moves to see the whole thing from
the outset.
If you're going to start doing that, you two will be taking your first steps to become a tactical monster
in a good way, a tactical monster in a good way.
So Queen takes physics, ignites this very important back from eight percent.
And this is, by the way, you know, it's a historical game.
A guy called Henry Byrd, a British spy against Johannes Zucker Tortes played in Nottingham, 1886.
And we have it because chess is recorded with notation.
That's the beauty of our game.
These these move scores recorded from hundreds of years ago.
Think about that as well.
OK, hope you enjoyed this one.
Thanks so much.
