0:01 for devil vortex

Hey Nelson. The first puzzle in the video isn't actilly possible to achieve in a normal game, but it is a meme position. It references a famous geometry dash meme. Geometry dash is a game where you jump over obstacles and try to beat the level without running to a wall or a spike. Some levels in this game are really difficult, especially the ones made by the community. One of these levels is Devils Vortex. Some parts of the level were automatic, so the level was way easier. The creator used these to fake verify the level, and to not act suspicious, he removed the pads and added saws to the top, in a very similar position to the 1st chess puzzle position. He was called out, and those saws were immortalized into geometry dash memes.

I found another way of beating it. You can move king to (from our perspective) h2. There, if the black king tries to attack, the white king will attack him and if he tries to run, the pawn will attack him.

@HippopotamusPencil

Жыл бұрын

@@balkan495 I have no idea in which puzzle the King can go to h2, but I think what you're saying is to move the king next to the other king. This is not allowed in chess, mainly because your king would get captured by the king. Even if you can capture the king back on the next move, that's second place, which isn't a great score in a game for two players.

It's actually a useful skill. In a tournament game that I played, I dropped some pieces, which took the air out of me. After a couple of moves, I realized that he had started ganging up on my king, but it was in a stalemate position. Then I got the stalemate idea and ended up drawing the game. I'd post a position from it, but the sacrifices turned out to be unsound; there was a way for his king to escape the checks without stalemating me.

Hey I really liked that second puzzle and was wondering if that endgame win was still possible if the queening square was on the opposite color of the bishop. I think there would be complications for the King's ability to block out the knight nearing the edge of the board but, it could just be the same end result I don't know. Love these showcases and the video itself!

for the second puzzle I was looking at the line Kg5 as second move, followed by K x pawn on the forced ..Nf8 (to avoid promotion) and it feels like it can also win

I like the defensive way in the second puzzle you used to trap the knight. In chess u can either move Ur pieces to give them more strategic roles and take other pieces which we can call the offensive way. But u can also play to limit the choices of Ur opponent. And maybe give him no good moves which is the defensive way.

king b8 is mate in 2, d6 pawn to d7 so you can't move back, then king goes to a8, and e4 bishop to b7 mate. if white decides a7 pawn to a8 promote to queen then black moves d7 pawn to d8 queen mate, if white promotes a7 pawn to a8 knight then it's mate in 3, b6 king to c6, a8 knight to c7, d7 pawn to d8 queen mate. unless im missing something, just about every move from b8 is mate. Could always check stockfish to make sure but white's only move is to solve the puzzle.

I did pick up the key move in puzzle 1 with the underpromotion theme. :)
