00:00That makes its most perfect combination because it helps us to understand the geometry and also we know we will be finding ways of winning against a stronger piece.
00:15Now let's investigate. New position, it's worth always taking time.
00:23In theory, if we ignore the concrete aspects of the position, black has an advantage.
00:30It's queen versus rook and bishop.
00:32But as we could see, you know, black queen is slightly awkwardly placed there and maybe we can start using tactics.
00:40In this case, many variations of skewer to win the material.
00:45So the first move, and I think you can guess it now, we attack.
00:50Rook attacks, queen.
00:52Now suddenly the powerful queen, imagine powerful queen, the piece that can move everywhere, you know, right, left, the center.
01:02Suddenly it's under attack and there are not so many options.
01:05If queen takes to rook, then first skewer, bishop a3 check, queen is lost.
01:16Now if queen goes to e6, then another skewer, rook a6 check, queen is lost.
01:22Queen goes on d5, another skewer, bishop a3, actually it's a pin, but it's just, you know, we may call it, you know, a variation skewer.
01:32Queen goes on c4, skewer from the other side.
01:36And if queen goes on h7, then suddenly it's trapped.
01:42It's bishop g6, queen takes, and then we have this skewer, rook a6 check.
01:47So black has no more options but to take on a2.
01:52But the rook is still pursuing this queen, rook takes a4.
01:58Rook takes a4.
