00:00Sometimes it's a double check, but even without double check, it always unleashes the power of opponent's army.
00:06Hopefully it's your army and you can cause this damage.
00:16Look at this position.
00:18Clearly, White has decisive battle advantage.
00:21Black sacrificed a lot of material, two pieces, just, you know, to get a chance to attack White's king.
00:28The king is cut on H-file, but how to deliver the final blow?
00:34Because if we give a check, then Rook goes on H-5, and White's material advantage will be decisive factor.
00:46It seems that Black lost its attacking potential because two other pieces, two Rooks, they're far away.
00:54But just look at this Rook.
00:56Look, it's sitting there, it's waiting, and just imagine that if we can open H-file, then it could be a mate.
01:08You don't need a queen.
01:09You can just mate White's king with Rook because Bishop from C-5 cuts the only escape route from G-1.
01:19And by contemplating that, you could see the right move for Black.
01:23H-7, H-5.
01:25It's an amazing move.
01:27The queen is still hanging, but we all know the end of the game is checkmate.
01:32And if you checkmate opponent's king, it doesn't matter how many pieces left, your pieces left on the board.
01:38And there's no way White can defend, because if White takes the queen, then H takes G-4.
01:45Suddenly it's opened, and now the Rook enters the game with decisive effect.
01:52If White gives a check, it just doesn't solve anything, Black king simply walks away, and it just doesn't change.
