Either in this lecture, I want to introduce you to one of the most common checkmates patterns, so
they called patterns because we can remember these patterns visually.
So back Frank is one of many checkmating patterns you'll find out about and.
Here is an example, the feature of it is that the king, although it does have defensive patterns around
it, doesn't have many escape squares.
The king is actually restricted by its own pawns.
And if it's going to move here, why it has a winning move.
I wonder if you can spot it if I give you five seconds portfolio.
OK, we can actually play the rook down and it's checkmate so the king can't escape.
Yeah, it's actually just checkmate a back chromate and believe it or not, this doesn't actually happen
quite a lot in chess games.
Generally, back chromate patterns happen quite a lot in a more sophisticated way.
Even Magnus Colson, at the time of this recording yesterday, he fell for a kind of back chromate tactic,
which I can show you in the next example, actually.
So that's hot off the press.
So bear in mind, the idea is that the king is kind of restricted by its own pawns and this can lead
to terrible trouble later.
OK.
So I hope you got that major point and let's look at some more examples of this very, very important
chat, Mike Patton.
