I like how it's also a puzzle :)
So as of right now you have decoy and clearance, right? Super interested in this series and I hope that it becomes a playlist on your channel

@@thechessnerd I'm guessing that the next episode for this series is either about deflection, intermezzo, or interference
Such a great series, these puzzles were very good and bring some excellent examples on a cool tactic to learn.
really loved the explanation and effort in the video. Thanks sir!
I love this series, your explanation is also very easy to understand.
This guy is good. He gets underneath the finger nails of the most difficult but most critical thing in chess...tactics.
Great video!! I thought I have solved the 2000-2200 puzzle but then you showed the stunning qd5😂
great video, hope to see more tactics in this series! would love a 10 levels of Novotny theme (double interference) next!

@@thechessnerd yeah it's a slightly more rare and advanced tactic, I did a free chessable course (chess geometry) that covered the topic and really enjoyed it. definitely would love to see it in your series though
This is so useful! Sadly, I can't use this tactic to clear all of my problems 😢

This is cool. This video is actually helping me learn new types of sacrifices cause I only know the Greek gift sacrifice. And this is helping me a lot
Please continue this series. It’s great 😊
Great tactik, i love its
Great video Zach!!! Keep up the great work ❤
Great puzzles.
in 1500-1800 elo puzzle after sacrificing horsey i found bishop h7 check if kh8 bishop g6 discovered check king g8 sac rook and then queen g5 check and after that checkmate and if king tries to escape you checkmate him with queen am i wrong?

Same, but there is gxh6 after discovery
In level 4 9:45 after Kf8 exciting subsequent move is Rd8+, after this black plays Qe8 forced, and another rook gotta take on g7 for mate
Love your content bro
i completed level 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 i failed level 7, 8 (i found the first move but played Ra1 afterwards), 9 (i found the first move), 10, final boss (I found the black pawn promote to queen variation)
great video as always Zach! If only I could use the clearance sacrifice to clear my crippling depression..
Thanks so much for posting more content like this! Could I suggest you do one on the removal of the defender tactic or deflection tactic? P.S. Love your content Zach! Keep it up for my sake 😅

16:06 (after sacrificing the bishop at level 7) Nxf6 Kg7(if black Qxf6 white Qg7 check mate) Qg7 Ke6 Rh6 check mate
I guess I found my favorite chess channel.
thankyou Sir
9.25 it also contain wind mill tactics which I see ,i didnt see check mate,thanks , 1.Rf7xg7+ , Ke8-f8 2.Rg7-f7+ , Kf8-e8 3.Rf7-c7 get queen
great aonother excellent tactic to help me blunder all my pieces :)
hey your channel is supreme, good job
15:48 the black bishop don't is obligate to capture the white bishop, insted can capture the horsey in e4 what is the Best move The puzzle is wrong😅
WHAT HOW DID I MANAGE TO SOLVE LEVEL 10? I'm just 800 ELO, I am genuinely so blown away by myself this time. You guys probably don't believe me, I wish I could show proof that I managed to solve it but just, oh my god dude Amazing video btw I solved everything except for level 9 so far, but I haven ot yet seen the final puzzle, I jsut casme down here to comment a bit becasue of how schocked I am I just like I started calculating that wohle line, and I was "No way this is the actrual right answer", but I didn't see any flaws with it, so when he actually dpalyed it exactly how I imagined it it was so satisfying

Dude you can't even spell let alone solve chess problems 😂
As an 1100 I am very happy to have fully solved levels 1-6 and even partially solve Level 7 and 8. This series is amazing thank you!
in problem 6 instead of rh8 immediately you can also premove bh7+ bg6+ rh8+ Qh5+ Qh7# it's 1 move slower but checkmate is checkmate
bro starin in our souls
Level 8 smashed baby!
Can you make this type of video but with the exchange sac if it's possible?
I love the way you present these puzzles! One question, at 18:40 would black rook to A2, connecting the two black rooks, not wreck the plan?
Good series... Maybe you can suggest a book of puzzles with these themes...
Do we have clearance to use this devious tactic?
Chessnerd on lvl 4 turned around like dr. Evil 😂 love u chess nerd !
In Level 8, I was thinking of rook B2 (Defelecting black rook) If takes then bishop E5 check forced move G8 then mate with knight. If rook to E4 then rook C4 (Defelecting again) To options take my rook then same mate thing, if he takes my bishop then we up with an piece I REALLY DIDNT SEE QUEEN D5, if that happens then there we loose a rook because we have to move my king to H1 and he can takes my rook after giving check with queen but it also depends upon when he plays like if he play queen D5 after my Rook B2 then its not a problem but if he plays queen D5 after C4 then its a problem and he will win a free rook
30:48 How does Bishop to G5 stop anything? Queen captures pawn is still a checkmate in this position!
@nathanaeltoms9289

Because the bishop puts the white king in check.
Does Rxg7 not work in the first example?
1500 - 1800 somehow took me 10sec
do you have a fide?
For the level 5... What about rook h8, pawn f7 and rook h1?
in lvl 8 cant we just attack his queen with rook if he takes it we get a queen for a rook and threaten mate but if he slides it we can just take our queen to d4 directly and go for mate?
it will be easy if you flip the board if black to move
Hey isnt be5+ a good move on level 8? Cuz if rxbe5 Nxre5, and white is advantageous, but if be5+ and kg8 then nh6#. Im i right?
at 35 minutes, 25 seconds you could also play rook f6 which is the same line.
at level 8 theres Be5 Kg8 knight-h6 checkmate if he takes the bisshop then itake his rook. 50 50 chance thou.
level 6 also uses a deflection tactic, try to find it
Can't we launch a windmill attack at 9:12? I think that will be fun
In level 7, I thought of first knight G5 then bishop H7 check King has to move somewhere like H8 or G7 and then its a mate with bishop G8 If king takes bishop then its a mate with queen NOW I GET IT WHY THAT WONT WORK
11:21 I found Rxd7, doesn't seem to have any drawbacks.
Level 1 - couldn't happen to a nicer bloke
14:05 after Rook h8 can't the king just run away to f7 and block with g6 if needed?
Forgive me if its obvious but for level 3 at 11:26 i saw rook sack then pawn takes on f7 threatening rook to h1 checkmate. Queen can block but is ultimately captured. I see that its more moves but does it work?
@raghaviyer3650

Rook e6 saves it for black after pawn takes, since when white goes rook h1, black can block with rook h6
Bro in lev 8 place the queen at f2 rest you can think by yourself
I SOLVED ALL LEVELS LETS GOOOOO🤩🤩🤩🤩. The last two ones might have taken 2 minutes or so but as long as you look for attacks and captures and checks you’ll be fine
6:41 it literally took me 3 seconds 😂 (im a 1700 btw)
i solved 3 and 6
I kinda like the thumbnail but yes smiley imrpovent can be done there Btw love from nepal❤❤
The 1500-1800 was easier than the 1250-1500
Love the content, but please flip the board to the POV were playing as!
I suck at clearance sacrifices apparently
I had a close position to lvl 2 but I sac'd my queen for a knight instead of fork allowing me to fork his king and queen
Level 3: Can't we checkmate rook on g7?
Level 5 was easier than level 4 ngl (fewer variations)
Iam 1800-1900 ish and got the 2000 apmost right. I had the right idea but after that i was completely lost
i made it to level 6 then got it wrong (makes sense im 1500 rn) although i saw the line he showed i thought it was wrong because i forgot the black queen would no longer be protecting h5 the line i found was knight g7 then slide the rook up if they take once he showed the line and it showed the black queen move i right away knew how to win lol (didnt see the second way he showed tho prob cuz i didnt think abt it after i saw the first way)i got level 7, missed level seven but i saw Be5 and if he doesnt take with rook Nh6 is mate so he either takes with rook or loses and if he takes you also have a fork between knight and queen on the way, didnt get level 9, def didnt have level 10, and 100% didnt have 11

Level 8, black's pawn to E5 after queen check is black winning
12:40 Doesn't Qh5 work? Black's queen is trapped or forced to exchange and the only safe square is e7 and Nxe7 is mate.

im about 1250 and I solved level 6 before you even stopped talking lol
Yippie
be honest do you recognize my username zach?
7:21 bishop blocks first 11:50 queen blocks first reached level 8 btw...level 8 was pretty easy..didn't even bother attempting level 9 lol Also, I don't believe that any super gm would struggle to solve that last puzzle.
Ok nerd
3:36 saying "white to play and win" really threw me off cause i was looking for checkmate in 2 or 3 moves....i did see queen sacrifice on g6 then Kf6 with a royal fork but you said "play and win" you did not say play and have an advantage....trickster🤨
