00:00In 1993, the last round, I already secured my first place in the tournament, but played Garakamski, wanted to win the game, and it was a good game, built up my attack, and as you can see now, white is winning, still the same number of pawns, but black pawns are very weak.
00:20But most importantly, black king is in desperate position, while white king is well protected, black king is in danger, but to deliver the final blow, queen e7, we just have to close this diagonal to make sure that black's queen doesn't protect e7 square anymore, and of course f6.
00:43We know that it's quite simple, but being simple, it doesn't mean it's not deadly, so when I played f6, Garakamski resigned, because after taking this pawn, white queen shows on e7, and the game is over.
01:00And now we move to one of the best examples for interference, blocking the square, preventing opponent's pieces from defending their king, and not surprisingly, comes from one of the Bobby Fischer's games.
01:30It's famous U.S. National Championship with Fischer winning all the games, that was the last round game, play against Benko, Fischer developed quickly, very strong attack, but for a moment, for a moment, I guess Benko thought maybe, maybe I could survive, maybe the worst is behind me, because of course white created very strong attack, and the pawn on e7, you could see, it's potentially, it's a mate, but we have to open the bishop.
