2
00:00:15,109 --> 00:00:17,310
everyone this is kevin from the chess

3
00:00:17,310 --> 00:00:19,260
website calm and today we're going to be

4
00:00:19,260 --> 00:00:21,779
going over a very important technique

5
00:00:21,779 --> 00:00:23,310
that every chess player needs to know

6
00:00:23,310 --> 00:00:27,720
and that is pins and skewers and a lot

7
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,060
of people know kind of what a pin is and

8
00:00:30,060 --> 00:00:33,600
how to find you know easy pins and easy

9
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,770
skewers today we're gonna be going over

10
00:00:36,770 --> 00:00:39,360
advanced skewers and advanced pins and

11
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:40,770
how to find them in their own game and

12
00:00:40,770 --> 00:00:42,420
how to implement them into your own game

13
00:00:42,420 --> 00:00:44,190
so first thing we're going to look at is

14
00:00:44,190 --> 00:00:46,950
the is the pin and most people can tell

15
00:00:46,950 --> 00:00:49,230
just by looking at it that if it's

16
00:00:49,230 --> 00:00:51,090
White's move the best move for white is

17
00:00:51,090 --> 00:00:54,539
going to be move rook to f1 and

18
00:00:54,539 --> 00:00:55,890
basically what we're doing is we're

19
00:00:55,890 --> 00:00:59,149
pinning the Queen down to the King and

20
00:00:59,149 --> 00:01:01,170
black really doesn't have a lot of

21
00:01:01,170 --> 00:01:03,000
options his best option is just going to

22
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,400
be to take this rook and after we

23
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:06,750
exchange why it's gonna have a pretty

24
00:01:06,750 --> 00:01:10,740
easy in game black cannot move his Queen

25
00:01:10,740 --> 00:01:13,340
because it's in needle to illegal move

26
00:01:13,340 --> 00:01:17,189
on the flip side we will take a look at

27
00:01:17,189 --> 00:01:20,490
a skewer and basically what a skewer is

28
00:01:20,490 --> 00:01:24,180
is if the more powerful piece the King

29
00:01:24,180 --> 00:01:26,130
is in the front basically we're going to

30
00:01:26,130 --> 00:01:29,220
skewer the Queen away or skewer the King

31
00:01:29,220 --> 00:01:31,229
away and capture the Queen so that

32
00:01:31,229 --> 00:01:33,950
basically looks like rook to f1

33
00:01:33,950 --> 00:01:35,759
attacking the king and the King's gonna

34
00:01:35,759 --> 00:01:38,009
have to move and in return we can just

35
00:01:38,009 --> 00:01:40,740
take the Queen so obviously as you can

36
00:01:40,740 --> 00:01:45,119
see in these two examples what a pen and

37
00:01:45,119 --> 00:01:47,970
a skewer are a lot of the times though

38
00:01:47,970 --> 00:01:51,700
in your game your opponent's not gonna

39
00:01:51,700 --> 00:01:54,730
baby feeds you the easiest pins and

40
00:01:54,730 --> 00:01:56,890
skewers you're gonna have to find some

41
00:01:56,890 --> 00:01:58,600
pins and skewers on your own and so in

42
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,370
the next couple examples we're gonna

43
00:02:00,370 --> 00:02:01,750
take a look at some more advanced

44
00:02:01,750 --> 00:02:04,540
concepts in this example you can

45
00:02:04,540 --> 00:02:07,150
probably see that the best move here is

46
00:02:07,150 --> 00:02:11,740
to simply move rook to a eight basically

47
00:02:11,740 --> 00:02:13,810
making a skewer here where the king is

48
00:02:13,810 --> 00:02:16,540
gonna have to move and the Queen will be

49
00:02:16,540 --> 00:02:18,190
hanging and we can trade off our rook

50
00:02:18,190 --> 00:02:21,100
for a queen which is very good for us

51
00:02:21,100 --> 00:02:25,030
but let's go ahead and take a look at if

52
00:02:25,030 --> 00:02:27,160
we change up pieces from the beginning

53
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,360
and instead of having our rook here we

54
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,739
have our queen so before we had our rook

55
00:02:35,739 --> 00:02:37,090
here and our queen here and we just

56
00:02:37,090 --> 00:02:40,989
switched them now if we move our Queens

57
00:02:40,989 --> 00:02:43,800
to a a which a lot of beginners will do

58
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,530
once the King moves then the Queen can

59
00:02:47,530 --> 00:02:49,739
capture but then black can immediately

60
00:02:49,739 --> 00:02:53,530
recapture so what we need to do is we

61
00:02:53,530 --> 00:02:57,400
need to find a more advanced skewer and

62
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,640
basically what this looks like is we

63
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:02,350
need to find a way to get this Queen

64
00:03:02,350 --> 00:03:05,920
away from the square that it's on so

65
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:08,920
that we can skewer with a eight and what

66
00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:11,110
that move is gonna look like is rook to

67
00:03:11,110 --> 00:03:13,930
g8 basically you can see this skewer

68
00:03:13,930 --> 00:03:17,140
right here where the Queen cannot move

69
00:03:17,140 --> 00:03:19,510
because the King is behind it so the

70
00:03:19,510 --> 00:03:20,980
Queen's going to either have to stay

71
00:03:20,980 --> 00:03:22,840
here and get captured or capture this

72
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,150
piece now obviously a lot of people

73
00:03:25,150 --> 00:03:26,769
would just say hey you're losing a rook

74
00:03:26,769 --> 00:03:30,310
but once black captures this white rook

75
00:03:30,310 --> 00:03:33,440
then Y can come into a a

76
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,710
check the king in sewer the black queen

77
00:03:36,710 --> 00:03:39,470
so now when black moves is keen now

78
00:03:39,470 --> 00:03:42,050
white can come in and capture the black

79
00:03:42,050 --> 00:03:45,050
queen and now we have traded a rook for

80
00:03:45,050 --> 00:03:47,630
the black queen so as you can see this

81
00:03:47,630 --> 00:03:51,140
is a little more advanced than just your

82
00:03:51,140 --> 00:03:53,780
normal skewer but these will come up a

83
00:03:53,780 --> 00:03:55,400
lot more often where your opponent may

84
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,800
not see where you can kind of distract

85
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,870
them and then go in for the skewer that

86
00:03:59,870 --> 00:04:01,610
you're looking for so we'll go ahead and

87
00:04:01,610 --> 00:04:04,450
take another look at a different example

88
00:04:04,450 --> 00:04:06,470
let's go ahead and take a look at this

89
00:04:06,470 --> 00:04:08,630
example right here and take just a

90
00:04:08,630 --> 00:04:11,240
minute what you think White's best move

91
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,520
hit move is here in this particular

92
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,040
situation you can pause it take a minute

93
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,680
look at and see what you think and

94
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,670
hopefully you came up with a lot of

95
00:04:19,670 --> 00:04:23,480
beginners like the last example would be

96
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,760
completely fine we'll just bring in the

97
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,820
Queen to b8 and when the King moves then

98
00:04:28,820 --> 00:04:30,440
just trading off Queens here but that's

99
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:35,780
not the best move here we have the best

100
00:04:35,780 --> 00:04:38,330
move of rook to b3 which does two things

101
00:04:38,330 --> 00:04:42,380
one that skewers the black Queen and

102
00:04:42,380 --> 00:04:45,800
King but it forces black to come down

103
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,210
and cap Travie see if he does not

104
00:04:47,210 --> 00:04:49,220
capture then we can just capture with

105
00:04:49,220 --> 00:04:51,560
our rook on the next move so once black

106
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,590
captures now the white queen can come to

107
00:04:54,590 --> 00:04:57,680
b8 and skewer both the king and the

108
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,160
queen basically leaving the black queen

109
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,000
hanging so it's these little advanced

110
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,700
moves finding the the skewer that can

111
00:05:07,700 --> 00:05:10,370
really change your game up we'll look at

112
00:05:10,370 --> 00:05:13,730
one more example of one of the easiest

113
00:05:13,730 --> 00:05:17,590
ways that you can start to look for

114
00:05:17,590 --> 00:05:21,130
different advance fewer plays in your

115
00:05:21,130 --> 00:05:22,750
own game so let's go ahead and take a

116
00:05:22,750 --> 00:05:25,180
look at one more let's go take a look at

117
00:05:25,180 --> 00:05:27,250
our last example and the first thing you

118
00:05:27,250 --> 00:05:29,260
need to notice in this example is that

119
00:05:29,260 --> 00:05:32,020
black has a very big weakness and that

120
00:05:32,020 --> 00:05:36,150
is along the a2 to the GA diagonal and

121
00:05:36,150 --> 00:05:39,100
one of the good things that white has is

122
00:05:39,100 --> 00:05:40,720
we have our light squared bishop that we

123
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,720
can anytime come to b3 and attack the

124
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,530
King on g8 so one of the things that

125
00:05:47,530 --> 00:05:50,470
you'll see a lot of times players do is

126
00:05:50,470 --> 00:05:52,810
try to let's say black tries to take

127
00:05:52,810 --> 00:05:55,540
away this diagonal from white obviously

128
00:05:55,540 --> 00:05:59,080
white cannot bring his Bishop to b3 or

129
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,450
then both bishops will be traded off and

130
00:06:01,450 --> 00:06:03,970
Y will be losing its active Bishop and

131
00:06:03,970 --> 00:06:06,400
blacks giving up his act his bishop it

132
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,030
was not very active black also feels

133
00:06:10,030 --> 00:06:13,930
like this is a good spot because white

134
00:06:13,930 --> 00:06:17,050
can't capture with his knight because

135
00:06:17,050 --> 00:06:19,960
the queen is defending it and since this

136
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,730
is a great outpost for the knight at the

137
00:06:21,730 --> 00:06:24,400
moment blocking this F pawn and

138
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,160
supporting porting this supporting this

139
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,070
area at any time he can jump in black a

140
00:06:30,070 --> 00:06:31,810
lot of times a fool pretty safe well

141
00:06:31,810 --> 00:06:33,520
black doesn't realize is white can

142
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,210
actually capture this Bishop on d5

143
00:06:36,210 --> 00:06:39,550
without being recaptured if black were

144
00:06:39,550 --> 00:06:42,700
to decide to capture this Bishop on d5

145
00:06:42,700 --> 00:06:46,000
he would miss a very powerful pin with

146
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,290
Bishop to b3 so a lot of players miss

147
00:06:50,290 --> 00:06:52,030
this in their own games they're always

148
00:06:52,030 --> 00:06:54,190
looking for the obvious pin or the

149
00:06:54,190 --> 00:06:56,500
obvious skewer and a lot of times they

150
00:06:56,500 --> 00:06:58,210
don't realize that if they look just a

151
00:06:58,210 --> 00:07:00,550
few moves ahead they can find an even

152
00:07:00,550 --> 00:07:02,860
more powerful pin or a more powerful

153
00:07:02,860 --> 00:07:06,520
skewer so in your own chess games always

154
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,470
be looking a few moves ahead and see if

155
00:07:08,470 --> 00:07:12,400
you know if you capturing a piece if

156
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,040
your opponent recaptures can then you

157
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,750
set up a more powerful skewer or a more

158
00:07:16,750 --> 00:07:17,470
powerful

159
00:07:17,470 --> 00:07:19,930
so hopefully you guys enjoy the video

160
00:07:19,930 --> 00:07:21,970
hopefully you can implement this in your

161
00:07:21,970 --> 00:07:23,920
own game hopefully you guys learned a
