00:00Two bishops, black bishop on e3, white bishop on e4, and white has two extra knights.
00:04One is there on the 8th, and one was on c7.
00:08Now, what do we see in this situation?
00:11Black king is at the corner, and it's stalemated.
00:16So if we take this bishop, that's a stalemate.
00:20Again, black uses this mechanism.
00:22It attacks the bishop and tries to force the exchange of the bishops.
00:26So how white can, you know, avoid these stalemating motifs?
00:31For instance, you can move this knight from c7, protecting the bishop, then it's an exchange,
00:36and you have a funny position.
00:39You have two extra knights.
00:41Well, technically, two knights could mate the king in the corner, but it's not a force mate.
00:47Unless your opponent is trying to help you, it's a draw.
00:51So black king can always escape, or it will end up with a stalemate.
00:56So what white can do?
00:58So it seems that, you know, the white is desperate,
01:02because black bishop will attack the white bishop,
01:05and the stalemate will be a saving mechanism.
01:10It's a miraculous escape.
01:12But if your opponent is trying to use a magic wand and to create a miracle,
01:18so let's think whether we can do the same.
01:21And we also have a trick.
01:26When opponent's king has almost no moves,
01:30it means that maybe we can create a mating threat.
01:34So suddenly, yes, we can discover a move, a very nice move, knight b6,
01:41which looks a bit odd because we put a knight on the square where it could be taken,
01:46both by the king and the bishop.
01:48But also we leave the bishop under attack.
01:51Now let's see what happens.
01:52If black takes our bishop on a four, then knight c4.
01:56I told you that two knights...
