00:00Bishop and it has to think about escaping, you know, maybe just opening, you know, some
00:04square for a king by playing h6 or d6. But you have to evaluate the situation and to find out
00:12whether there are options for you to escape from double attack without losing material.
00:18Sometimes it's more difficult to see double attack if it's not an opponent's piece attacking
00:31two of your pieces, but also creates other threats because the threats are not of the
00:37same level. And obviously for beginners, for amateurs, it's more complicated. Though advanced
00:44players, they immediately recognize what is the most lethal threat in the situation. But
00:52it may not be only just double attack. Sometimes if your opponent uses more powerful pieces like
00:59queen, it could be even triple attack. It could have multiple threats and then you have to
01:06think how to defend against them because some extraordinary measures could be required.
01:14So let's just have the situation with black's queen on d5. And we do understand of course
01:22that black queen or white queen, any queen in the center controls most of the squares and
01:28it could cause tremendous damage because it looks all over the board. So black king is on d2.
01:35Now we have white king is on a3. Put black pawn on a4. And then we have two white rooks.
01:44Two white rooks on a8 and h1. Now let's assess the situation. So black queen attacks rook on h1.
01:53It also attacks rook on a8. If we have nothing else, forget it.
