00:00With Rook, because Bishop from c5 cuts the only escape route from g1.
00:07And by contemplating that, you could see the right move for Black.
00:12h7, h5.
00:14It's an amazing move.
00:15The Queen is still hanging.
00:17But we all know the end of the game is checkmate.
00:21And if you checkmate opponent's King, it doesn't matter how many pieces left,
00:24your pieces left on the board.
00:27And there's no way White can defend.
00:30Because if White takes the Queen, then h takes g4.
00:34Suddenly it's opened.
00:36And now the Rook enters the game with decisive effect.
00:41If White gives a check, it just doesn't solve anything.
00:45Black King simply walks away.
00:47And it just doesn't change the configuration of the position.
00:50And if White takes this pawn, then Black simply takes a Queen and a f5.
00:55And it's quite an easy win.
00:58So it's a bit tougher for defense for White, but it still doesn't save them.
01:04So it shows you the power of this discovered attack and the surprising effect that it could have on the opponent's army.
01:17Discovered attack, as I mentioned already, could be missed even at a high level.
01:28But from my own experience, I can tell you that I managed to win a game, a very important game, a game at the World Championship match against no one else but Anatoly Karpov in 1985.
01:44And it was a discovered attack that helped me to win the game and to equalize the score in the match.
