This position happened in one of my games. I had the White pieces - how did I get a quick CHECKMATE? |
Yes, White played Ng5-f7+. Now if Black takes the Knight White has a BACK RANK MATE. So instead Black played Kh8-g8, with this position. Where's the Knight going next? |
Yes, the Knight has to go to h6 - to control both f7 and g8! It's DOUBLE CHECK so the King has to move to h8. You know what to do now!! |
Can you see how White can force a quick CHECKMATE here? |
This example features several different CHECKMATES - some of which you've seen before. Can you find White's winning move? |
|
It looks like White can't meet Black's threat of mate on h2 - but at least it's his move. What can he do? |
On your left you'll see what looks like a quiet and peaceful scene. Black's trying to exchange queens, but does White really want his Queen off the board? What do you think? |
Very quickly, now, use your CCTV again and tell me what you'd play here. It's White's move again, and you know what happens to kids who don't castle, don't you? |
All you need to find it is - guess what - a CCTV! |
Place your bets on White's next move now! |
