00:00Pawn on a6, knight on g2, bishop on a3.
00:09Looks like a dead draw.
00:12How can you win if pawn goes on a7, rook on a1?
00:16Rook, open board.
00:20You won't believe it.
00:22In order to dominate the rook, we have to sacrifice our knight.
00:28Let me repeat, sacrifice our knight.
00:30Knight f4 check.
00:31Rook takes f4.
00:33And now we go bishop d7.
00:36And you have to take a deep breath, make a pause,
00:42and to understand that black cannot stop white pawn from advancing to a8.
00:46So as I always do, put a queen there just to remind the opponent that it's inevitable.
00:51It cannot go anywhere because a4 square is taken on f1.
00:56We have, remember, it's the check.
01:01It's winning.
01:02It's pure.
01:02And there are no other squares.
01:05So if rook goes on f6, a7, rook a6, we have another check.
01:09So bishop dominates the rook.
01:11So domination is an important trick, and I urge you to learn more about geometry.
01:19Sometimes it probably makes sense for you to look at the computer studies,
01:23where you have five pieces, six pieces, and just to understand how it moves.
01:27It's just to see that there's many things that can happen at the open board.
01:33No pieces.
01:35But miracles tend to happen if you know how to create them.
01:40And before we move to the openings, let's do what I promised.
01:53Let's figure it out.
01:54How you can mate a lonely king of your opponent if you have bishop and knight?
02:00How you can mate a lonely king of your opponent if you know how to create them in the open board.
