00:00In theory, if we ignore the concrete aspects of the position, black has an advantage.
00:07It's queen versus rook and bishop.
00:09But as we could see, you know, black queen is slightly awkwardly placed there.
00:13And maybe we can start using tactics.
00:16In this case, many variations of skewer to win the material.
00:22So the first move, and I think you can guess it now, we attack.
00:27Rook attacks queen.
00:30Now, suddenly, the powerful queen, imagine powerful queen, the piece that can move everywhere, you know, right, left, the center.
00:39Suddenly, it's under attack, and there are not so many options.
00:42If queen takes the rook, then first skewer, bishop a free check, queen is lost.
00:52Now, if queen goes to e6, then another skewer, rook a6 check, queen is lost.
00:59Queen goes on d5, another skewer, bishop a free.
01:04Actually, it's a pin, but it's just, you know, we may call it, you know, a variation skewer.
01:08Queen goes on c4, skewer from the other side.
01:13And if queen goes on h7, then suddenly it's trapped.
01:19It's bishop g6, queen takes, and then we have this skewer, rook a6 check.
01:24So, black has no more options but to take on a2.
01:32But the rook is still pursuing this queen.
01:35Rook takes a4.
01:36Now, if black takes this rook, nasty rook, then bishop e8, another skewer.
01:44So, black has no other way but to go back on g8, but then rook attacks again.
01:49And no more a2 square is available.
01:51The only square left is queen h7.
01:53And then we finish the game with another blow, bishop g6.
01:59Rook goes on theologies.
