00:00Queen. That makes its most perfect combination because it helps us to understand the geometry.

00:07And also, we know we will be finding ways of winning against a stronger piece.

00:16Now, let's investigate. New position, it's worth always taking time.

00:21Now, in theory, if we ignore the concrete aspects of the position, black has an advantage.

00:31It's queen versus rook and bishop.

00:33But as we could see, you know, black queen is slightly awkwardly placed there.

00:37And maybe we can start using tactics.

00:40In this case, many variations of skewer to win the material.

00:46So the first move, and I think you can guess it now, we attack.

00:50Rook attacks queen.

00:54Now, suddenly, the powerful queen, imagine powerful queen, the piece that can move everywhere, you know, right, left, the center.

01:04Suddenly, it's under attack, and there are not so many options.

01:07If queen takes the rook, then first skewer, bishop a free check, queen is lost.

01:15Now, if queen goes to e6, then another skewer, rook a6 check, queen is lost.

01:24Queen goes on d5, another skewer, bishop a free.

01:28Actually, it's a pin, but it's just, you know, we may call it, you know, a variation of skewer.

01:33Queen goes on c4, skewer from the other side.

01:37And if queen goes on h7, then suddenly it's trapped.

01:44It's bishop g6, queen takes, and then we have this skewer, rook a6 check.

01:49So black has no more options but to take on a2.

01:53But the rook is still pursuing this queen.

01:59Rook takes a4.
