Watched the first half. Excellent rollercoaster. I had thought of Rook to the back rank, but I did not see that a stale mate was possible. My guess is people tend to over look stalemates. The only time I look for a stalemate is when I feel like I'm lost.

Yeah, I play chess often and currently go to a chess clinic to sharpen my skills. When I am winning, I either make concise moves and mate them quickly or play with them for a while while not making blunders. But if I'm losing, then I go for stalemate.

Rook to A6, that leaves black with only 2 options : 1. Take rook with Pawn - then white pawn delivers checkmate by moving to B7. Option 2. Bishop moves to any other valid square and Rook takes black pawn on A7 and delivers checkmate. :)

Move rook up 1 space, so if he moves his pawn up 1 space just move onto a different white space lined up with his king. If he moves his pawn up 2 spaces take his pawn and that is check mate. If he moves his bishop, take his pawn with your rook, and that is check mate

8:28 Rook moves to a6 then black pawn takes the rook and finally the white pawn moves to b7 and checkmate! I figured it out on my own.

I actually had this move as a possibility, but missed the second line and how it forced the pawn capture. I was thinking you had to put pressure on the king or the bishop could move wherever it wanted. But as soon as the bishop moves, there’s no longer protection for the pawn. >.< Still too new.

8:35 the solution is 1: Ra6!!, bxa6 2: b7#

Whoa that second puzzle blew my mind, and it served as a good lesson.

Your style is very interesting and pronunciation clear.👍 The puzzle should have been "white to move and win in least possible moves" to be a bit challenging. 2 moves restriction is a giveaway. Rook to a6, if pxr, p to b7+#. If bishop moves, rxa7+#.

Didn't see the winning sequence. It always looks so simple when you do. Which makes it well worth the time to look for simple answers. Thanks! Good for life lessons, too!

If you haven't done so already, you might want to find one of Blathy's monsters (100+ move mates). Generally, they're solved by using some sequence of moves that gives White a free move; then White repeats that sequence all over, and White makes another free move, etc., and eventually wins. (That's what I was expecting here.)

exactly, stockfish finds the solution immediately (it's just a mate in 8 after all)

Answer÷ rook to a6. If bishop moves anywhere the rook to a7 is checkmate. If black take rook with pawn,then white moves to b7 with an awesome checkmate.

White Rook In A file except for Ra7, You can hit the Rook somewhere from Ra6 to Ra2. The only option Black got is to move Bishop out. Then Ra7#

Could you please provide a FEN in the descriptions in the future so we can easily try for ourselves on a board?

Ra6 black is left with only two legal move which are i) exa6 and after that white can play b7 which results in a mate and ii) to move the bishop and after that Rxa7 is also a mate

I am very much thankful to you as I have upgraded a lot watching your videos 😊😊😊. I passionately play this game.

I did not solve it myself but I take great pride in the fact I clicked onto the idea the moment I saw the initial queen move.

I completely missed the trick of checking with the king. So obvious king had to go up but I missed this beautiful technique.

It's really helpful Thanks for it sir😇✨

Ra6 is a killer move if he takes the rook then b7 is a checkmate other wise if have to move his bishop and then Rxa7is a chechmate.

1. Ra6!! bxa6 2. b7# is a beautiful checkmate 1. Ra6!! (Any bishop move) 2.Rxa7#

Ra6! now black has two options 1) move bishop anywhere and then Ra7# Cooler way: 2) bxa6 and then b7# is a beautiful mate! I had actually solved this puzzle OTB like a year ago and felt Nostalgic! Ty sir ❤

59 years playing chess and I still get amazed about "The Game Of Kings". The chess composers have minds not of this realm! The endgame composer Troitsky (Hope I spelled that right!) came up with mind blowing compositions way back in the 1880s. There is a chess composer tournament where the player who can build the best composition wins a prize. I dont know the name of it. Ask FIDE they will know.

Both puzzles were soo awesome 👍👍

Sir, you always present something new and mind blowing lessons in chess. But this time it was done as a story teller which also gives us life lesson . Really wonderful, heart touching video💝💝💝

Jeetendra sir. The answer is a rook sacrifice, Rook to a6 If black declines the sacrifice then he has to move his bishop as the bishop is the only piece which can move freely. After the bishop moves, believe it or not Rook a7 is a beautiful checkmate. And, if black takes the rook then pawn to b7 is a beautiful checkmate.

Do more videos like this dude

Bring more videos like this please

I am a new subscriber and I really enjoy your videos. Keep it up!

3:33 actually, whoever has the move will win. Black needs to play Ka5 or Ka3 and the white king will have to move to d3 or d5 to protect his pawn. Afterwards black will move to b3 or b5 and put white in Zugzwang. The white king will have to move away from his pawn, which he will then lose.

Can you make such more videos like this?

I was really looking forward to the puzzle until I noticed it’s one I’ve done countless times :(

Puzzle Solution : 1 . Rook to a6 2 . Pawn takes a6 because if (the only legal move left is to move bishop and if bishop moves , rook takes a7 is mate) 3 . Pawn to b7 is a beautiful mate

I love how so many videos will say something like "The engine couldn't even find the line." I'll then go and run the position through Stockfish and it finds the solution almost instantly every single time.

Perhaps Mr. Stockfish, the designer of Stockfish, saw this video and hand-coded the solution in just so it wouldn't look foolish? /s

In the first one what would’ve happened if the bishop moved it to f3?

Ra6 if he takes with his pawn then pb7 is a checkmate. Or If don't take the rook there is no lagal move so he have to move his bisop then simply take this a7 pawn with rook it's also a checkmate.

Thanks, I really enjoyed this.

for story 2, couldn't you just put the queen onto the b3 file, forcing the king to only shuffle back and forth from a1 and b1 letting you walk your king all the way to take out the b4 pawn, then move king to a3 which in turn gets you queen a2 checkmate?

Chess puzzles speak for itself

Puzzle Solution: Ra6. If black takes the rook, b7 is a beautiful pawn checkmate. Any other move, which would have to be with black's bishop on b8, would allow Rook takes a7 checkmate, since our king controls the b8 square. That is why I think the puzzle solution is Ra6.

Rook to a6. If black takes the rook push the pawn up for checkmate. If black leaves the sacrifice and moves the bishop somewhere instead push the rook onto a7 checkmate. Love the content!

The puzzle answer: It is amazing Ra6! if black take the rook. b7# is absolutely beautiful mate. In other hand, black has no good move too, if he try to move the bishop anywhere, guess what rook take a7 is a stunning checkmate.

For anyone wondering why a chess engine couldn't figure out the solution, stockfish and most others are programed to ignore repetition so because the black king just went back and forth the engine wouldn't have continued the position
