welcome.
00:02 - 00:03
My name is Stefan,
00:03 - 00:06
and I want to show you a bit about the scholars
00:06 - 00:10
made or how to checkmate your opponent in four moves.
00:11 - 00:14
Essentially, I want to show you Where does it come from,
00:14 - 00:19
Who can play it and how has it played? And obviously, how do we defend it?
00:19 - 00:25
Um, it all goes back to this 16 56 published book, but Francis Bailey,
00:25 - 00:27
who essentially translated the whole thing from
00:28 - 00:28
Italian
00:29 - 00:32
and the guy here on the cover sheet, is
00:33 - 00:39
neither of the original authors. It's Chance, the first of England King at the time.
00:39 - 00:41
So what is the scholars made?
00:41 - 00:45
The scholars made essentially centred around the idea that the square of
00:45 - 00:49
seven is extremely weak because it's only protected by the king,
00:50 - 00:52
and this will be the final set up.
00:52 - 00:56
So we try to essentially checkmate the king on the force,
00:56 - 01:01
move from a white perspective with our queen, um, supported by the bishop.
01:02 - 01:03
So who can play it?
01:03 - 01:04
Obviously,
01:04 - 01:08
scholars made in the traditional sense is only be playable by the white pieces,
01:08 - 01:13
But there are iterations, alterations, essentially where black could do similar
01:13 - 01:15
seeing on the other side.
01:16 - 01:19
Um, the original plan was to
01:19 - 01:25
played both centrepiece pawns and occupy the centre of the chessboard and
01:25 - 01:30
then bring our queen out quite aggressively on the second move.
01:30 - 01:31
Already
01:31 - 01:37
black seems to ignore the whole thing, and then place the night
01:37 - 01:38
two
01:39 - 01:46
c six and we get our bishop out and essentially start preparing this attack on
01:47 - 01:48
the F seven side.
01:49 - 01:49
Yeah,
01:50 - 01:54
As you can see, the Bishop black pieces are ignoring the whole thing.
01:54 - 01:57
And, yeah, they just want to develop the pieces here.
01:57 - 02:01
We were essentially then attacking with our queen.
02:01 - 02:02
So
02:02 - 02:04
the easiest thing to do
02:04 - 02:12
is essentially, instead of playing our night on the B 26 c six,
02:12 - 02:17
we could immediately play our night here on the F
02:17 - 02:21
six field and Tactic Queen on the other side,
02:21 - 02:24
and that would more or less disrupt the whole plan.
02:24 - 02:25
For white.
02:25 - 02:29
That will be one of the more easier, um, defences. Essentially.
02:30 - 02:37
So let's give it a try. Thank you for listening and hope you'll enjoy playing chess
