Hi there.

00:02.160 --> 00:08.160
In this example, is there something special we can do in this position if I give you five seconds to

00:08.160 --> 00:11.220
pause the video, try and tackle checks?

00:12.480 --> 00:18.720
So those forcing moves, you need to prioritize, what can you play in this position, which really

00:18.720 --> 00:21.900
limits the potential employees considerably?

00:26.130 --> 00:28.590
And can it lead to anything really special?

00:28.950 --> 00:31.480
OK, so five seconds, pause, video.

00:32.210 --> 00:38.040
OK, now here you can use the so-called Doublecheck 1993, essentially a double check.

00:38.370 --> 00:40.140
Double checks force the king to move.

00:40.140 --> 00:42.920
They severely limit your opponent's replies.

00:43.140 --> 00:48.420
The king usually has to move if we'd chosen another type of discovery.

00:48.520 --> 00:51.560
Check here in this position.

00:52.200 --> 00:53.750
Then there's other options.

00:53.760 --> 00:56.850
The king doesn't have to move a single check.

00:56.850 --> 01:00.120
S. Going back or here reveals a check.

01:00.480 --> 01:03.120
But, you know, another option is introduced.

01:03.570 --> 01:09.080
You know, five is introduced as well as Rook have to as well as the king moving.

01:09.090 --> 01:12.780
Other options are introduced when you play a double check like this.

01:13.500 --> 01:17.820
So we have to check, say, the move there, which happened in the game.

01:18.270 --> 01:21.360
So the doublecheck forces the king to move.

01:21.900 --> 01:29.060
The king goes to H1 and can you see that smothered meIt's pattern emerge here?

01:29.370 --> 01:34.770
What can you play in this position which leads to a smothered might if I give you five seconds pause

01:34.770 --> 01:35.130
video.

01:41.620 --> 01:49.210
So check checks its Kuningan one check, we drive the rock to surround the king, totally the king surrounded

01:49.210 --> 01:53.160
by its own pieces, all the escape squares taken out.

01:53.560 --> 02:00.040
When you sense that even, you know, in any situation, if you sense that the king hasn't got too many

02:00.050 --> 02:01.750
skyscrapers, be on the lookout for that.

02:01.750 --> 02:07.500
Checkmates a checkmate is, after all, just the check whether the opponent has no king escape.

02:08.170 --> 02:10.270
So you should be read to a bull.

02:10.270 --> 02:14.820
You know, you should be looking out for the chameides when there's a lack of escape squads in here,

02:14.830 --> 02:20.440
you know, you have to do is check and mate someone with Mapleton.

02:21.560 --> 02:23.390
OK, that's much.
