00:00There's another construction. It's a very famous construction, and it's a game from a Moscow International Tournament in 1925 between a renowned Mexican player Torre and the second world champion, Emmanuel Lasker.
00:22And it's quite amazing that Lasker having very good position in this game, actually, winning position at one point, he relied on the pin on the fifth rank, expecting this bishop to be lost, because if it moves, the queen, white queen is under attack, and missing a beautiful combination.
00:43It's a windmill that made Torre very famous, because it's not just about the beauty of the combination, it's not just about discovered attack that led to this windmill harvest collected by White,
01:00but it's also the fact that Lasker, Emmanuel Lasker, the world champion, well, at that time, ex-world champion, was a victim.
01:09And after bishop f6, you know, the windmill against this operation.
01:16So queen takes queen, rook takes g7 check, king goes on h8, no other moves, now check, king goes on g8, check again.
01:27So king h8, rook takes bishop, again check, there's no other way, king g8, check, and now it's time to actually win the queen.
01:38Rook g5 check, white took the queen, and quickly won the game.
01:43Here's a position that I want you to look at, and to make first, first make an assessment.
01:57It's an end game, it seems that if not.
