00:00Rooks, two knights, four pawns, it seems there's no more excitement left.
00:08But for a moment, black created this potential problem,
00:15having rook and knight at the same line.
00:18But if white simply tries to pin with rook and free,
00:22then king defends the knight.
00:24And we have nothing.
00:31We don't have any way of putting more pressure on this knight.
00:35So that's why all we need is just to make an intermediate check, rook e2.
00:41We're attacking the king, and if king runs on d4, then we do a fork.
00:46Remember? Fork.
00:48Double attack, king and rook, winning the material.
00:51And if king goes on f5, then we'll go rook e3, and then we'll win because of the pin.
00:56Black has no way without sacrificing an exchange and having a totally lost endgame.

01:04Just another important thing, intermediate move.
01:08Often happens.
01:09You can easily miss it.
01:11Because, you know, you look at moves like rook f3 to create immediate threat,
01:16but actually rook e2 wins because it destroys black's coordination, so pushes the king.
01:25So that's also quite a useful example.
01:28Very few pieces left, but I think it's quite instructional.
01:33Let's have a look at this position.
01:44White has material advantage.
01:46It has, you may say, extra piece.
01:48Because queen is roughly equal to two rooks, but white has an extra bishop.
01:54But the problem is that this bishop is pinned.
01:56And it's an absolute pin because...
