How to play Quadular

Well , the main point behind this move is that we're unleashing the bishop .

Ok ?

We're creating this really serious threat .

We'd like to push this pawn forward and just checkmate the king .

That's what we're doing now .

It's weird because we're putting the rook where the pawn can take us and it's with check .

And so that's what black does takes it with check .

And now we move our king somewhere .

If you'd like to pause , where should we move our king to , if you had a chance to look at that , the move .

And again , I'm following the puzzle solution here .

But the move is king to G two , which is another weird move because you're staying in line with the queen .

And after check , now we have to move our king again .

And now the move and I'll just tell you this one is king to G one .

And the point is that we've essentially gotten out of the checks and we have this crazy threat on Blacks king .

We're gonna push this pawn forward .

Well , if you had a chance to look at that , the move is king to age two .

And the point is that we are leaving the pin , so we had to get out of the check .

So we're , we're leaving the pin here with our bishop and we're gonna play fa queen next move and black is not gonna be able to take us .

So for example , if they pushed this pawn , we simply get a queen and his checkmate , the queen is pinned , right ?

And if black decides to take our bishop , the same thing's gonna happen , it's still check mate , right ?

Doesn't matter notice it was important that we move to H two not to H one because we didn't want this to be check .

So we had to get off of the the first rank .

So pretty amazing , right ?

Pretty nice move .

However , like I mentioned , there is a flaw in this study .

So I'm gonna go back and at some point along the way So let me just refresh your memory .

We played Rook here , black captured with check .

We went here , black pushed the pawn with check .

We went here , black played bishop F seven .

We took it black captured here .

We got the queen and then we pushed and played king to age two for the win .

Somewhere along the way , there was a flaw , there's a flaw .

So would you , if you would like to pause or , you know , go back through these moves , I'm gonna put the , the position down below .

Feel free to check that out on an empty board yourself .

Uh Don't , don't look at stockfish yet .

Just try to think through it .

But what do you think the flaw was in this puzzle ?

Go ahead and take a minute to do that when you're ready to come back here and then we'll , we'll keep going .

All right .

So hopefully you had a chance to look through that on your own .

Maybe you came up with an idea .

But here is the flaw that stockfish finds .

After we go here , captures , we go back , pond goes forward , we go back instead of bishop to F seven .

Stockfish says no , no , no , no queen to a four .

You just attack the bishop .

And here's what I'm thinking , guys , I'm thinking , how did a first prize study that was in a tournament ?
