00:00They like checks. They want just to make too many checks and I have to warn them
00:03against using checks all the time because it may not be the best way of protecting your position.
00:11Sometimes checks could make it worse, but looking at the check as a first counter option
00:18if you are under double attack, that can be recommended.
00:22I think maybe I just have my own game.
00:34It's a game against a famous grandmaster, Alexander Believsky.
00:40That was a game played in 1991 in the Super Tournament of Linares.
00:47I played white and it was a tough tournament.
00:53I didn't do well at the start and Believsky had this great start.
01:01He was leading. He was point and half ahead of me before that game.
01:07So that's why winning the game was kind of a must for me if I wanted to stay in the tournament
01:19fighting for the first prize.
01:23I set up this position so at the very end of the game, as we could see that I did it well in the opening.
01:30My piece is dominating.
01:32But domination is not the end of the game, so you have to finish your opponents off.
01:37And here I just made a move that created multiple threats.
01:41That's like talking about double attack.
01:43My knight went on c7 and it forced the exchange of the rooks because, you know, black rook is in the attack.
01:50And then everything is hanging now.
01:53Pawn on b7 hanging, bishop on e6 hanging.
01:55So black position totally collapsed.
01:56So it's a simple example, but, you know.
