Checkmate by En passant
During one of the livestreams at / chessnetwork a viewer proposed I try to give checkmate via En passant to the computer. So we had just a little fun one day with this challenge, attempting to do such against Stockfish Level 1 with time controls 5|2. When I challenged Stockfish Level 1, I mistakenly challenged it to a game where the side with black was without a queen knight. Whoops! Fun fact: I only realized this error when I was editing for this very video. :) En passant is a special move in chess, one that far too many players do not know about. Maybe with the help of this video more players will learn about this unique pawn capture. In my experience, those unaware of the En passant rule can be found not only baffled when it is observed during a game for the first time, but sometimes also accusatory of an opponent that he/she has cheated!! :)

I'm pretty sure the destination square of your pawn is the one you write down. I think the idea behind e.p. is that you capture the pawn while it is moving past your pawn. In this case while it is on f3.

Sorry, yes I meant 86.f4 gxf3 e.p.#. My point was shouldn't the checkmate symbol go after the whole move notation, rather than before the e.p.

If you do not know what En passant is and/or do not know why black is starting without a queen knight, read this video's description. :)

I thought you were going to set it up where the White King was being checked by the black F pawn after En passant was conducted. In other words, some hypothetical arrangement where the White King is on E2 or G2. (Basically, I thought the pawn would be the checkmating piece...)

I had thought the same situation. And I thought it could actually been done. On move 66 where is black to move at 7:08 : Kc2 Rc4 Kd2 Qf4 If Ke2 Qd4 If Kd3 Qd4 Ke2 then any move that don't give check with rook on b8, queen on h1(it has to stay in the 8th rank, or bishop on g7. And white will be forced to move the pawn. But the only problem here is that white doesn't need to move the pawn 2 squares ahead... :(

I once played a game where after my pawn move, my opponent stopped and said to me, "You know, there's this obscure rule called the en passant..." I then replied to him, "I know, and you can do that if you want." He looked pretty excited to do it just because it's something you hardly ever see. However, after that en passant it was mate in 4, my game. It was pretty funny.

My level of anxiety is going up because its only one move to be checkmate
Of all of the hundreds of videos I have watched I have to say, this is one of my favorites.
That was amazing! But I think he was ready to do it just before he said "I think I'm ready to do it." At 6:22 there's a forcing (I think) line 64. ... Qd3+ 65. Kc1 Bh6+ 66. f4 gxf3# e.p. The situation in game, where the queen gives check on e4 instead of d3, gives the king the option of going to c3 instead of c1. Stockfish conspired a little bit.
the knight was so tricky even Jerry forgotten about it
Can you do a video of the style of your how to solve chess puzzles where you try and solve the Christmas puzzle from lichess?
Let's up the ante by requiring the pawn to be the checkmating piece.
Way to Go Jerry! Amazing game , love you!!!
at 6:22 you had qd3 kc1 bh3+ f4 gxf3#, which would've been mate a few moves earlier potentially?
Wow, can't believe you didn't notice that there wasn't a queenside knight. Even i didn't notice until i read the description LOL
is it possible to give a smothered mate through promotion of a pawn to a knight... against stockfish 1?
awesome dude, thank-you for your videos.
Is he setting the level and move that he is training to win by in the beginning? I'm a noob
At Minute 6:14: You could have played Qd3+ and Bh6+ to win earlier and with the same idea.
Amazing! Really cool video!

This was fun to try and to see done, very cool idea.
amateur in chess question: why would the rook jump from its home position to D7 in front of king? Where do I find this answer?
I about had a stroke watching that checkmate then I saw the title
Why did computer (white have to move two squares instead of one)?
how can i change lichess to this black theme ?
Would you play the challenge again with both Knight's?
That really showed off some skill! very well played :)
you went for it! wow pretty amazing
i did it after a couple attempts and its pretty HARD. but at the end of the match your happy and proud that you did it.
That was like watching a cat batting a mouse around for 9 minutes before finally eating it.
That was sick
Could this be done with just the pawn?
lol at the commenters calling you CheeseNetwork when you kept moving the Queen around to buy time. But hey.. it was perfectly legal to do so.
this was so cool
That was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in chess
Why bishop f3 instead of g2?
totally worth the watch
It's funny because I just watched your "greatest endgame puzzle" with the pawns promoting to knights and what not, and I thought to myself "the only thing crazier would be an en passant checkmate on top of it all".
I didn't even realize that there was no queen knight in the starting position.
You're a clever guy, I'm just a mushroom
Were u aiming for mate with en passant or just mate?
I once seen a game in an old book where a very strong player wagered a weak one that he (the stronger) could force the weaker player to mate him. Stalemate and 50-move rule draws were considered a loss. The entire game was well over 100 moves, but the stronger player forced the weak one to give mate by capturing all but one Bishop, pinning it on b8 with K on a8, when K could only move from a8-a7, eventually lifting the pin at just the right time so a check along the a-file forced the B to interpose and give mate. I've tried to do that a few times against my engine, always either mating, stalemating or drawing by 50-move rule. Even saving back pawns to reset the rule eventually failed. You should try it. A live human would even be harder, it seems to me, as the computer doesn't understand it can win by giving away or blockading its own pieces, but a human could try those tactics.
That was beautiful. Thank you.

Your level of coolness has just increased.
Wouldn't you have been screwed (or at least would have needed to reconfigure) if instead of the King moving to c1 he moved to c3? How did you know he would make that move instead of moving towards your rook?
You sir. Are doing great mind exercises. You remind me of myself.*cries in proud tears*
My man didn't even realize he was giving Knight odds to a computer, lol.

very cool, Jerry.
Nice Mate!
Nice one Jerry
This was painful to watch. He had the board under control but weaved the king around the board. But maybe it's not as easy as it looks
So you need the king on corner or last line. Block with rocks the 2 lines and with bishop (or Queen) the last room. Later cheak with bishop forces to block by pawn. Very tricky. Cool strategy
You should try checkmate via castling
good job Jerry!
That was cool, though I was expecting the en passant pawn to be attacking the king.
Damn that was pretty sweet
Had to take every single piece. Woof

WOW! Worth making a KZread series with different type of mates against Stockfish 1?
Brilliant

I remember a game I played where I took en passant and the pawn that took gave checkmate.
nice touch with the chat !
If chess were made today: You cannot make that capture because you do not have the "En Passant" Power Card equipped. (Hint: Purchase loot boxes to acquire Power Cards!)
