Hi there.
In this lecture, we see an absolutely amazing, amazing combination.
I wonder if you can sponsor if I give you five seconds, pause video.
So check all checks, pronouncements, the forcing moves, try and visualize in advance and.
Just make sure it's absolutely checkmate, that there's no defensive resources, sometimes you might
be thinking of another mating pattern, but if there's defensive resources, then it really doesn't
work in your current position.
The expression it all depends is very important in chess.
It really has got to relate to your exact position, not some other position.
So, yeah, OK, I hope you've worked out this amazing checkmate sequence, 10000 points of it, because
actually it's quite tricky.
Queen G-7 Chank Night takes rotates g7 chac.
And here is the key points.
A very, very important key point.
There's something you must not be tempted by, especially if you've seen another baiting pattern, you
must make sure the opponent doesn't have any defensive resources available.
There is a way of doing that in this position.
So which checks do you want to use?
Check all the checks.
Some checks are far less controversial than others.
It all depends, as they say.
Yes, I once asked Firuzan, a koban in Gibralter, the secrets of chess, and he just said, You know,
it all depends.
It wasn't very helpful but OK, we have here a killer move and it actually is a double check.
This is a double check.
It forces the king to move.
And we'll know here that the bishop comes across this tigerland cutting across all the escape squares.
And that is something in itself one should be excited about in the process of calculation for the availability,
the probability of making use of a mating pattern.
If you've got escape squares, covid, you're just looking for a can of CHAC.
And here we have that with rooked one Chac.
There's only technically 25 afterwork do 25.
That is checkmate.
So this happened in the game and of Ansen brilliant player, one of the best players of his time in
1860.
He was white against Berfield, silly, silly, not silly.
And he didn't play in a very silly manner did he.
If he played, you know, for example, you might be tempted by the mating pattern for mating patterns
sake.
But no, you know, black has resources.
Our late night takes me two.
It really doesn't work.
So you need to find out what works and your obsession.
And sometimes you need to check out even the most ridiculous checks, especially double checks, are
always worth checking out in general because you're really fine tuning the opponents responses.
You're limiting them to a king move.
So once you investigate that situation, when you've got the escapes most covered, you know, this
is the art of checkmate generally.
Even if you're not, I don't think it's recommendable that you can go through 2011, make patterns your
head.
The fundamentals of mating patterns is essentially the art of taking Artscape squares and delivering
the killer check on top of that.
So in real games, the excitement level, your excitement level should go up once you see any escapes
was taken up even in the process of calculation.
So it's an interesting one to see this queen sack.
This is a really beautiful combination.
It's really fantastic if you start seeing this kind of thing.
And fundamentally, if we look at this, we've got this semi open phone.
I have a lot of fun and entertainment generally with Salmiya out and phones where you have a pawn missing.
It's like one way traffic.
It's like a one way road or motorway.
And these are often very dangerous.
So fundamentally, the position seems to me here to have some downsides for the black position in general,
that focal point on G7 massively leveraged with this lovely double check from the bishop and the rock.
It's a pattern well worth reinforcing, maybe even just playing for this example, just to make sure
you reinforce these patterns at the back of your mind, they add extra kind of mating awareness when
when when you're calculating variations, OK, and so much.
