00:00Something that you like or you don't like this is the rule you have to follow this rule and you have to make sure that
00:05you apply these rules
00:07accordingly in every situation so
00:11Another rule is an opposition. So that's opposition is simple when you have two kings
00:16facing each other and as we know that when
00:20There's a king and a pawn versus against king and a pawn opposition is a decisive factor. So
00:27everybody knows
00:29That's the classic
00:31That's the only move for black to save the game is to go back
00:35To g8 king f6 and king f8 keeping the opposition
00:41But even if you know this rule you have to be quite precise in applying this rule
00:46Yeah, if we look at the position with white king on f1 pawn on g2 black king on c8 pawn on h5
00:55Couldn't be simpler
00:57but
00:58It's a very tricky maneuver
01:00That to secure
01:02victory for white king f2 was threatening to
01:06Attack the pawn king g3 and king h4 to win the pawn and
01:10to win the game black goes h4 and now
01:13Now
01:15We have to do something that goes against
01:18Common sense because you want to go king f3
01:21But then black plays h3 and of course we know that if we take on h3
01:25The side pawn doesn't win
01:27And if we go g4 and black manages to
01:30To bring the king
01:32In front of our pawn and it's a draw
01:35So the only way to win
01:38Would be to go back king g1
01:41Now our king is ready to attack and after h3 we go g3
01:45And
01:45Black doesn't have enough time
01:47To bring its king in front of the pawn because
01:51We're winning the the opposition
01:54And
01:54Again
01:55I trust you know how to win this position
01:59You
