Come for the chess puzzle stay for the chest puzzle.

awesome problem, at the very end when Ke5 was played so the rook on b8 "couldn't give more checks" I wondered what about Re8+, turns out that doesn't work because Ne7 would block the check and also is a discovered check, followed by Kb8 and Rb7+, since the knight is taking away the c8 square Ka8 is forced allowing discovered checkmate by moving the rook back on the b file

the answer of the three chests puzzle is obviously chest A, since the message on B and C are contradicted, one of them must be true, that means the message on chest A must be false

@mehdimarashi1736

The problem is A and B are symmetric. The same can be argued about gold being in B. This chests puzzle paradoxical and didn't have a solution. C can't be true, if C is true, both A and B are true. So, C is false. Now, if A is true B is false, and if B is true A is false, both options are available and we cannot eliminate either with the given info.

@@mehdimarashi1736 you cannot argue gold being in B by this method, because the message on B claims the gold is not in B, while the message on C claims the gold is in B. Since the gold cannot be in B and not in B at the same time, we know either must be true. And since we know there are only one true statement, that means the message on A (gold is not in A) must be false, therefore the gold must be in A

Exactly, I wonder how long would it take for Magnus to analyze this situation, not easy to see all the traps ^_^

I usually get right idea but not all other complications. This one I am thinking Rook to C7 check > b8 rook blocks leads to checkmate so other rook blocks > knight to a6 > Now black is in a zugzuwang moving the unpinned rook will lead to checkmate. If pawn move then that pawn can be simply captured. If bishop moves and gives up c7 then also a smothered mate. But pretty sure I missed some tricks there.

At 7:19, in the resulting endgame with Rook vs pawn, the win is not trivial since the white king is so far away. If black plays b5 in that position, white must play Rd6 to cut off the Black king off from advancing down the board to support the pawn. If the pawn gets 2 ranks away from the king, white’s rook will be able to capture it by itself. If black doesn’t play b5, white’s king has time to come over to the b-file.

This tricky win for white speaks for itself

Rc5. If black blocks with the pawn we can safely take with the bishop. R8b7 leads to Rc8+ and R5b7 is met with Na6. If, black now moves the rook, Rxc8 is mate. Else, we play Rc7. If the bishop captures on c7, Nxb7 is mate. If not then, Bxb7, Rxb7, Rc8+, Rb8, Rxb8#. Edit: Nvm. Overlooked Na6, Bb6, Rb7, Rg8+ and white loses the rook and the game.

How do you get a Rook to the h-file? Are you imagining 5.Rg7 Bf6, 6.Rg8+ or something like that?

Chest A is the answer. Chest B and C are contradictory statements. One has to be true and the other has to be false. Therefore, Chest A is false and the gold is in Chest A.

Wait wait wait how did this happen? Pawn D7 didn't just move there. Why didn't black take rook on the previous move. I don't see how we could realistically get into this position.

I would argue in this case it comes down to king safety. Black's king is completely stuck with checkmate threats left and right. I suppose it's two sides of the same coin, the piece quality is high because they are targeting the king so nicely.

The gold is in chest A. 2 of them are lying. The 2 liars cannot be A & B because that would mean the gold is in both A & B but it can only be in 1 chest. B & C cannot both be liars because that creates a paradox in chest B where it simultaneously has and does not have the gold. So the 2 liars must be A & C. If A is lying, then the gold is in A.

Chest c. If c is lying, it’s not in b, and a and b tell the truth, meaning c has the gold

If Chest C is true, then the gold would need to be in chest B and that would mean chest B is false ... so the second "false would need to be chest A ... which claims the gold is not there... so it iS! But that creates a conflict since the gold would have to be in chest B for C to be true. So chest C has to be false .... which means the gold is NOT in chest B. That leave A and C ...but since chest C is false .... and B is true ... the other false statement has to be from chest A ... which claims the gold is not there ... lying chest!

The best move for white would be Rc5 to prevent the black pawn move d5 from covering the white bishop along the diagonal because the white bishop would just take it. Now, either of the 2 black rooks could block the white square on b7. If R5b7, then Na6 and black could either move its other rook to c8 or bishop to any black square; if R8b7, then white Rc8+ mates. If bishop moves, then white rook moves to c7. If black bishop captures white rook on c7, white's knight mates by taking the black bishop (suffocated mate). If black bishop does not capture white's rook on c7, then white's king moves closer to blacks pieces to win. There would be no stalemate because blacks bishop is free to move. To summarize, WHITE BLACK or WHITE BLACK or WHITE BLACK 1 Rc5+ R8b7 1 Rc5+ R5b7 1 Rc5+ R5b7 2 Rc8+ mates 2 Na6 Rc8 2 Na6 Ba5 3 Rxc8+ mates 3 Rc7 Bxc7 4 Nxc7+ mates
