The pawn on f7 can go to f5, preventing the checkmate. I was also wrong about this one

Position 1: En Passant also stops the queen blocking, which was another reason that simply pushing the pawn couldn't work.

#1 Puzzle i thought whoch move Black played so i can find it i knew and saw En Passant

For puzzle #3, one can deduce the checkmate in one without the ranks being numbered (and the files being lettered) by the mnemonic "Queen on her color"; meaning that at the beginning of the game, the black queen always starts on the black square. In this setup, the black queen is actually on the white square, which means that the king and queen would be in reversed positions from the initial setup if black were to start on that side of the board. Such a position would be impossible to achieve from the correct setup, which could only mean that black had to have started from the other side of the board.

@@chessscape For puzzle 1 the other possible solution, if the squares were not numbered, was the black and white positions were reversed with the pawns moving in the opposite directions allowing a mate in 1 by the bishop.

I saw the first one as soon as I saw it

For puzzle #1, i thought the checkmate in one was d6 discovered check but then i saw the pawn that could go c4 which i think is a good move because if the bishop that checked captures the pawn, the rook will capture and the white rook will capture and rooks can NOT capture diagonally

These puzzles do stretched my mind 😅, I almost can't find checkmate in puzzle #3 until you revealed the final and true answer. Impressive puzzles.

I guessed right 4 out of 5, the 3rd one I already knew so it kinda doesn't count. I missed the 4th one, I thought it was Bxg4+, didn't notice that the pawn could block.

3rd puzzle was so frustrating haha. I realized the ranks were swapped, but it did not calculate in my mind the way it affected the pawns

Me too, but I didn't realize f5 until I read the comments

For the 4th chess puzzle first i see there are many pieces in the board i see that bishop takes knight and it also covering the square of f5 and it would be a checkmate i experting that he say bishop takes knight but he say knight d4 checkmate i was really confused there are two checkamtes and he didnt say bishop takes knight

3:19 I got to this exact and I mean exact position in 90 moves. Do you know anywhere I can paste the PGN?

When you touched the king, i saw that you can castle and realized 😅

That Castling scenario messed with my head. But then I'd had a few 😎

I havent even press video on 1st puzzle and I solved it on thumbnail

1. If that guy move his pawn double step at last step, then it's solvable. 2. If king and rook didn't move, then it's solvable.

What is the out of the box reason for you to be wearing sun glasses in a dark room?

Welp the checkmate in 1 is forcing your opponent to resign buy telling them there's checkmate in 1

The second one made me punch myself 😂

Puzzle 1, not even 3 seconds in I screamed EN PASSANT!!!!

Thanks man i learn something from this vidio to look much deeper for possible checkmate

En passant is forced 💀

1. Dxc6 en passant mate 2. Castles queenside mate 3. Nd3 mate 4. Nbd4 mate 5. Kc5 mate

i just looked at yhe thumbnail and thought d6 immediately

Got them all. On the third one, a huge hint is that the black king and queen are on the wrong squares to be in the initial position.

Why can I not checkmate with the bishop?

That was fun, thank you.

some of these puzzles are in the Soviet Chess Primer book, which I'm reading so I could figure them out easily

3:20 If the ranks weren't swapped then this would be a possible position. The black knights can jump out and capture the white pieces, then hop back
