      @@rianpon231 the reason why that guy laughed like that was because his management at the news station made them all wear jackets to look more professional, but none of them wanted to wear jackets. So when she made the comment about not needing the jacket, it was actually funny, instead of him just overreacting.

    at 18:00 they say he should've taken b4, why is that? i know it forces the king to move making it a free move but I don't see how it's a better position

    • @kevinm1317
      @kevinm1317 Před 4 lety +2

      Its not taking b4, just moving there. The issue is that g7 is covered by the bishop, so the king has to go to e8, which is on an open file opposite the rook. That allows discoveries such as Bf6 - the king is in check from the white rook, and it has no legal moves. This the black queen has to block and give itself up for a rook.

    • @TheSheepwall
      @TheSheepwall Před 4 lety +1

      Potential mate in 3 if King moves after Qb4, maybe? Im not sure. But like this: Qb4, Ke4, Bf6 (check by discovery), Qe7, then queen takes queen and mate? But only if king moves on that first check. Probably missed something, someone tell me
