00:00Queen versus rook and bishop, but as we could see, you know, black queen is slightly awkwardly placed there, and maybe we can start using tactics, in this case, many variations of skewer, to win the material.
00:15So, the first move, and I think you can guess it now, we attack.
00:20Rook attacks queen.
00:22Now, suddenly, the powerful queen, imagine powerful queen, the piece that can move everywhere.
00:30You know, right, left, the center.
00:32Suddenly, it's under attack, and there are not so many options.
00:35If queen takes rook, then first skewer, bishop a3 check, queen is lost.
00:45Now, if queen goes to e6, then another skewer, rook a6 check, queen is lost.
00:52Queen goes on d5, another skewer, bishop a3, actually, it's a pin, but it's just, you know, we may call it, you know,
01:00a variation of skewer.
01:01Queen goes on c4, skewer from the other side.
01:07And if queen goes on h7, then suddenly it's trapped.
01:12It's bishop g6, queen takes, and then we have this skewer, rook a6 check.
01:17So, black has no more options but to take on a2.
01:24But the rook is still pursuing this queen.
01:28Rook takes a4.
01:28Now, if black takes this rook, nasty rook, then bishop e8, another skewer.
01:37So, black has no other way but to go back on g8, but then rook attacks again, and no more a2 square is available.
01:44The only square left is queen h7, and then we finish the game with another blow, bishop g6.
01:52So, it just shows you geometry, which is a very important element.
