00:00And look whether there's something else, maybe even stronger, even more powerful.

00:06Just imagine for a moment the bishop is not on d2 but on e1.

00:11It's still, you know, makes move bishop c3, perfectly legal, and it's winning the rook.

00:19But there's also another option.

00:21Because we look at queen and king at the same diagonal.

00:26You can put this bishop on g3.

00:30This time pinning the queen and winning the queen.

00:34So just, you know, always look at position, you know, trying to maximize the effect of your attack.

00:43Okay, with bishop on d2 is only bishop c3.

00:45With bishop on d1 you have even more powerful, more powerful move.

00:48There's also a few practical things that we can learn about a skewer.

01:00And one is in the endgame.

01:03So very often we have this pattern in the rook's endgame.

01:11And rook's endgames are probably most popular endgames.

01:15Happen very often.

01:16Even in the games of the beginners.

01:18So, and we have this position with white king on f2, rook on a7, pawn on b6, and black rook was on a1, pawn on a2.

01:27Pawn is close to the promotion square.

01:30But it's blocked.

01:32And typically when the rook is behind, so opponent's rook is behind, it's very hard to make progress.

01:37Now, as I already said, always, you know, look at even the minor details in the position.

01:46So does it matter whether white king goes on f2 or white king goes on e2?

01:51The answer, yes, it does matter.

01:53It does matter a lot.

01:54It makes all the difference between winning, losing, in this case actually drawing or losing.
