White -Ra6 Black has 2 options 1st Black -Move the bishop anywhere But, White will finish the game by R×a7 checkmate Rook is supported by the pawn and B8 is covered by the king Black pawn is blocking b7 , white king is also covering it 2nd Black -B×a6 ( B = pawn) and ( a6 =Rook ) and ( × = captures ) But, more toxic way White -B7 check mate with the pawn (pawn 1step forward) As a7 is blocked by Black pawn Pawn is supported by the king Black Bishop is blocking b8 ya, white king is also covering it

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.

Ra6!! He is now in zugzwang. If he takes the rook b7!! is a shockingly beautiful checkmate! If he moves the bishop ANYWHERE, Rxa7 is mate!

yeah i am happy i saw it after about 10minutes of thinking

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.)

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.

I’ve done this puzzle before in my Chess Club at school. The answer to the puzzle is… 1. Brutal Rook Sacrifice Ra6, bxa6 is the only legal move. if the bishop moves then Rxa7# 2. b7# Checkmate with a Pawn. Puzzle Solved!

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

Chess puzzle solution= White-Ra6, black now has two options, if your opponent captures the Rook on a6, the b7#, and if doesn't capture and moves his bishop, then R×a7#

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.

Puzzle: Rook is moved to a6 if black pawn captures it it's checkmate when u move the white pawn forward to b7 and it's checkmate

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

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.

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.

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.

Sir the way you teach us today by saying a story it was nice pls try to make like this.

This might be the best chess puzzle video I have ever seen, I am left in awe.

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

The Second story could easily end by Eat b5 then king a2 or a1 then queen a5 king 1b then queen a6.

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.

You should never resign, always play to mate, because your opponent can always blunder away a winning position.

Not only did I solve the second puzzle, I found an alternate solution that even fools LiChess' Stockfish! You can start with Kb7, and Stockfish yells BLUNDER and evaluates the position a draw. But Stockfish is wrong! Follow up with Qe8 and Stockfish realizes you still have the win. The rest is just like the main solution. Bonus: If you play Kb7, then play as black against Stockfish, it fails to find the winning line and you can draw it.

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?

If he's not in check he will promote the pawn.

Actually it’s a very interesting puzzle. White to move...Rock Ra6...black have to capture with b2 then b7 is a beautiful checkmate. 😊

For the puzzle solution, the move is Ra6. If we move the rook anywhere else on the A file, black will push the pawn to a6 and create a fortress. If we move the rook to any other file, Black will capture the pawn on b6 and again it is a fortress. Capturing the a7 pawn doesn't help as bishop recaptures and again it is impossible to break in. So, we are left with Ra6, but the reason this works is because if bxa6, we have b7# where the pawn smothers the king to mate. Only other legal moves are bishop moves but as soon as bishop leaves b8, we have Ra7# as the rook is supported by the pawn on b6 and can't be captured.

The win in 2 moves seems easy: (as the Rock pins the pawn, force move of bishop then checkmate): W.K:c8->d7, B.B: moves wherever (only legit move, but probably treats on e5) W.R:a1->a7 checkmate.

Answer to the puzzle 1) Ra6 means to bring the rook on a6, black has two options, he can either capture the rook or move the bishop anywhere. If he captures the rook then pawn to b7 (also called b7 is simply a checkmate. What if after moving rook to a6 black does not capture the rook and plays bishop to any square lets say c7 for example then Rxa7 is a checkmate
