00:00But as we could see, you know, black queen is slightly awkwardly placed there, and maybe we can start using tactics.
00:08In this case, many variations of skewer to win the material.
00:13So the first move, and I think you can guess it now, we attack.
00:19Rook attacks queen.
00:21Now suddenly the powerful queen, imagine powerful queen, the piece that can move everywhere, you know.
00:29So right, left, the center.
00:31Suddenly it's under attack, and there are not so many options.
00:34If queen takes the rook, then first skewer, bishop a3 check, queen is lost.
00:44Now if queen goes to e6, then another skewer, rook a6 check, queen is lost.
00:51Queen goes on d5, another skewer, bishop a3.
00:55Actually, it's a pin, but it's just, you know, we may call it, you know, a variation of skewer.
01:00Queen goes on c4, skewer from the other side.
01:06And if queen goes on h7, then suddenly it's trapped.
01:11It's bishop g6, queen takes, and then we have this skewer, rook a6 check.
01:15So, black has no more options but to take on a2.
01:23But the rook is still pursuing this queen.
01:26Rook takes a4.
01:28Now if black takes this rook, nasty rook, then bishop e8, another skewer.
01:35So black has no other way but to go back on g8, but then rook attacks again, and no more a2 square is available.
01:43The only square left is queen h7, and then we finish the game with another blow, bishop g6.
01:51So it just shows you geometry, which is a very important element.
01:56Somehow it's difficult for humans to appreciate.
02:00So it's difficult for humans to appreciate.
