Hi there in this election, we have another example of queen and rook against King, the king is not
so conveniently placed for us now it's here rather than on the back row.
So how do we make the opponents king here?
Well, we can actually use a kind of staircase method, if nothing else.
I mean, there are more precise ways of planets, but a simple way is kind of like getting the king
to walk up a staircase.
You can restrict the king first by playing move like this as the example, say the move here, we can
push them up the staircase.
We've restricted the king.
Now we check them, pushing them up the boards and we can check them again.
And so they go over here and they've set a little trap for us here.
We can't go ahead.
They're going to just take us.
So what do we do here?
Oh, dear.
Are we stuck?
Well, what you can do is just put the queen over here, safeguard the queen.
Just wait.
No, they're not going anywhere.
They've had it.
So say they do go here now.
We can push them up the staircase again.
And then the queen does support the rock.
We can do this, then we can do this and it's checkmate.
We've driven them up the boards almost like driving a staircase for that final chat.
My so yeah, the situation was slightly more advanced than our previous example.
The King less conveniently placed, practiced this with a friend, M.S. and make sure you don't need
of you make the mistake when you get this kind of position to end this, that would be a key mistake.
I might want the Kings Cross you can you actually staircase it with the queen rather than the rock here?
Would that be more efficient?
Yeah, there's different ways of winning this.
You can mistreat the king like this.
And so they volunteered to go up here.
If you check them, they could go back, so it's kind of in a way, it's kind of makes consistent sense
if you just do this to restrict them from coming back before pushing them.
And they can't go next to the queen for restricting them again.
So they go ahead and use them again.
So I hope you get the general just there now.
Hey, you can't play this because they take.
So be careful.
So we want to try and restrict them with respect to them a bit as we get ready to restrict them.
I go here now.
We can check them back onto that fast track.
And here I hope you can spot the way to checkmate.
We're going to checkmate with the rook because the queen is controlling these escape squares.
So this example was slightly more challenging.
Prentis with friends make this perfect.
They both got the general idea.
You don't want to play a move like this sort of waste time when you've got an immediate me.
I mean, you can, you know, like a cat playing with food or something.
You don't want to do that.
But generally, you know, if you play more professionally, you go you're up against the clock.
Sometimes it could be in a time scramble.
You've got that much time to mess around.
So anyway, here's here's a method kind of staircase method.
Just avoid the trap of, you know, not routinely going to check with your queen.
So you get this kind of staircase going.
And this would be inefficient.
This would be the checkmate here.
Very efficient.
So Rook and Queen Princess with a friend driving that king from, say, this position at the board until
they're checkmated, take turns, spread the joy to your friend and vice versa of making each other.
These are essential, essential and game positions.
So the more armor you have in your end games, this Omri of different types of ingame musicians, it
means all your efforts when you learn good opening's little game, like the great Cuban player Capablanca,
your efforts will be rewarded.
Your advantage is that you gain from your opening a little game.
You'll be able to finish off the opponents in the end games.
Capablanca was the great master of the endgames in this course.
I favor two players for you to study and look up Paul Morphy for your tactics, Capablanca for your
end games and for me.
One of my favorite players, Bobby Fischer, was like an amalgam, a combination of Paul Morphy and
Capablanca.
But this is absolutely essential and gain knowledge about restricting the king, driving up the board
systematically.
So we want to avoid the queen being lost.
We don't want to play queen C7.
When I come straight, the king and the final efficient move is to do the checkmate.
Yeah.
So I hope you can practice this.
Get this one hundred percent right each time both you and your friends or you and your relative of your
dad, sister, brother, just practice this and going with each other and master it.
It's essential.
Absolutely essential.
OK, that's.
