    Challenge idea: Protect the VIP (very important pawn) At the beginning of the game, one of your pawns is selected at random to be the VIP. You must protect this pawn at all costs because you can only deliver checkmate with the VIP. Losing the VIP means you can get a draw at best. Promoting the VIP transforms it into a "very important piece" so it stays the VIP.

    You can also play this game against another playel, where both of you have a VIP, but you don't know which pawn is the opponent's VIP. Figuring out the opponent's VIP can lead to a lot of mind games when deciding whether to sacrifice pieces or not just for taking a pawn, which you assume is the opponent's VIP.

    The hard part in the second puzzle isn’t finding the best moves, it’s the freaking end game afterwards. I was able to get a queen for white, but then a Queen vs Rook endgame is so tough because the king and rook just dance around eachother in the middle of the board, so I can never get my queen and king close enough to threaten it, and I have to constantly worry about not just hanging my queen, but not letting the rook take my queen at ALL. Because even if I’m protecting it with my king, black can just trade its rook for my queen and stalemate.

    at 3:07, he says the only move is to move the king up, but you can also block with the rook. and after he takes and checks again you move on b7 and than if he comes on b8 trying to trap you, you just escape by going where the rook was on c6 and you escape checkmate

    In the first puzzle, after Na6, black can play Rb7. Ng6 and Bxc6 then no longer work and draw the game. Even if we follow the line of 1... Ra7 2. Bxc6 Rxc6 3. Nd7+ black has an amazing move, namely Rc8. It sacrifices the rook in order to prevent a mate in 3 if you play Kb7 as shown in the video. White will still win, but it's a long one (31 moves).

  • @maxscherzer9521
    @maxscherzer9521 Жыл бұрын

    The main line is incorrect too. You said that after Nd7+, "Black has to take us", but actually the strongest defense for Black is playing Rc8. The line continues Rxc8+ Kb7 Rb8+ Kc6 Ndxc5. Now we're in a RNNvR endgame, which is a tablebase win for white, but it would take 16 more moves with perfect play.

  • @aliensconfirmed3498

    At 7:40 the best move is actually Kf3. Both are winning and only 2 winning moves but Kf3 leads to a cleaner victory whereas Bf7 leads into a Queen and Rook endgame which is winning but very tough.

    So I analyzed the first puzzle with Stockfish, and.... it found a way to draw the game somehow. I don't know why it did it like this, but this is apparently what my engine after analysis and making moves found what to do to save the game as Black. (first move was White's, of course) Thought it was fascinating because white was to play and WIN, except White doesn't win. Stockfish busted another puzzle it would seem. 1. Na6 Re7 2. Ng6 Rb7 3. Nxc5 Rbb8 4. Ne6 Ka7 5. Rg7+ Rb7 6. Rxb7+ Kxb7 7. Bd7 Ra8+ 8. Kb4 Ra1 9. Ne5 Rb1+ 10. Kc3 Re1 11. Nc4 Rc1+ 12. Kb3 Rb1+ 13. Kc2 Re1 14. Kd2 Rf1 15. Nc5+ Kc7 16. Be6 Rh1 17. Kc3 Kd8 18. Kd4 Rd1+ 19.

    No this is not the En Passant rule. Pawns can only capture diagonally upwards, no exception. Even En Passant is no exception. En Passant means "in passing" and happens "literally" during the move of the opponent. It can only happen if your pawn is on the 5. rank (for example d5, or for black d4), the pawn of your opponent on the file next to your pawn is on its starting position on the 7. rank (for example c7, for white c2) and your opponent moves this pawn 2 squares forward (for example c5, for white c4). Your opponent play the move c5, this means his pawn on c7 moves 2 squares forward to c5. But he don't jump, he starts from c7, passes c6 and lands on c5. Note: If your opponent would play c6, your pawn on d5 could capture it from d5 to c6 diagonally upwards. The En Passant rule means, even if the pawn moves to c5, your pawn on d5 can capture it from d5 to c6 diagonally upwards right in the moment he is passing the c6 square. Of course, this means you can only capture it on your next move and not later in the game. This also means, your pawn don't capture the pawn next to him, it just looks like on the board, you take the opponents pawn from the c5 square, but you move your pawn from d5 to the c6 square, because your pawn have captured "in passing" or En Passant from d5 to c6 diagonally upwards. Note: If your pawn is on the 6. rank (for example d6, for black d3) and the opponents pawn move from c7 to c5, of course there is no En Passant, because the passing square is c6 and you could also not capture if he had moved to c6.

    Challenge: assassin chess. Pick a random non-king piece and capture it before capturing anything else. Then pick a new one (and so on). Other versions: only pick major/minor pieces and no capturing pawns until all major/minor pieces are taken. No checks until all major/minor pieces are taken.

    for puzzle 2, after Rook a1, Bishop h6, what about Rook f8 - check? If white moves the king, then yeah, nothing really changes, white still wins. BUT If white blocks with the Bishop then Rook takes f4 check, King g2, Rook h4, King g3, Rook h6, King g4, Rook h1, King g5 white will draw by repetition by shuffling back and forth on g5 and g4, because going anywhere else at any point in this sequence loses both of White's pawns: the G pawn to Black's King which can now approach it with impunity, and the H pawn to Black's Rook Stalemate / Black win I'm sure there's some other way for Black to salvage this situation, but I genuinely wouldn't know, I barely started chess a few weeks ago

    Blocking with an undefended piece makes no sense, because it will be taken and you are still in check, you have just lost a piece ;) What do you mean with stalemate? A stalemate is when you have no legal moves while not in check. A stalemate is a draw. Both kings are in open space, so there will be no stalemate.

    Challenge idea: Alternate diagonal and straight moves. On odd moves, you can only move along a file or a rank. On even moves, you can only move along a diagonal. Non-capturing pawn moves are straight moves, capturing pawn moves are diagonal moves, including en passant. Castling is a straight move. Knights are special, they can always move, counting as either a diagonal or straight move. (Alternatively, for a hard variant: Knights cannot move).

    For the final puzzle, what if the rook moves to h5 first instead of checking the king? That would stop it, wouldn't it? It would at least stop the bishop sacrifice and result in losing the bishop without the g pawn getting to move since it would be a check. I checked this on an analysis board, and it is not a mate. The time stamp is 7:22.

    2:20 Really the best try? How about rook b7?

    Wild suggestion , but in the arrangement at 8:26 you could promote the pawn to a Knight, then all your pieces are covered and you can move the bishop away to let the other pawn through. Even if they sack the rook to take the pawn you can with Bishop and Knight.

    nah rg5+ and then he sacrifices his rook for the pawn and knight and then its a draw, nice idea though

    @@koi_brandon9928 Ah yeah if he immediately sacks the rook it doesn't work. Never mind.

    Hi Nelson, greetings from Argentina. In the 2nd puzzle you skiped the option of black king simply taking the pawn... and game over for white Cheers from NE Patagonia. BTW: I´m a new subscriber here.

    If king takes pawn, you just promote the other pawn and rook can't take it because bishop is blocking it

    I think it would be a good idea to make a video about a bot such as Martin or anyone you choose, where if you take a piece, the piece comes back and u have to capture it 3 times to fully kill that piece, and checkmate u can do it only 1 move and don’t have to checkmate 3 times. You can do it like 1 one time if it is hard or whatever you would like

    Fun idea for a video against martin: Infected Chess, Everytime MARTIN takes a piece, it becomes his, when this happens you go back 1 turn, and change the piece he took into his color. See if you can win. I think this is pretty hard but winnable against Martin

    2:56 Couldn’t black block with Rb7 instead of taking the bishop? I don’t know if you addressed what that line would look like
