One of the best chess studies ever!

In this video, I analyze an outstanding chess study composed by Matous in 1975. White exploits the motif of discovered check creating an amazingly efficient battery that helps the king, the bishop, and the pawn to beat opponent's queen accompanied by knight and pair of pawns! 

This study teaches us the power of well-coordinated pieces. Even a few correctly placed pieces can create deadly threats!  

A battery is one of the most dangerous weapons in chess! It reminds me of the loaded gun: everything is ready, and the only question is whether it is a good moment to fire. The threat is very often stronger than the execution, though.

Enormously beautiful and extremely instructive: what more could one expect from a chess study?
