At 7:00 Black promotes first, which leads to a Queen trade.

These really show the importance of king centralisation, how much more dangerous pawns are per each rank advance and that the relative value of a king is at least 2 or maybe 3 pawns

indeed, most people disregard the kings importance, especially in the endgames

Hi, Nice video, however in 2:38 c8=Q would be a mistake, because black would play Qh3 and win the white Queen. So instead of Ke6 maybe Ke7 should have been played.

c8=Q+, it comes with check, meaning they can't do that.

@ChessCrafters-lk4dv

white will promote with a check, so black doesn't have the time to move Qh3, because he must first move his king. I am glad you liked the video!

If black plays Qh3+, they would immediately lose due to illegal move since they are in check

This puzzle is very nice and incredible. i think this is called the The Crooked Path, when the king has to take strange geometrical paths to reach a goal. there is a simplifice puzzle that is similar like this with a black pawn on h4 and the white king on g7 i think... where the king has to go down diagonaly to move both closer to the black AND closer to the white pawn in that case also on c6. This seems with some added layers with 2 more pawns.. incredible stuff. ah now i see you have a video on that.. the pawn is on h5 not h4, great stuff. ty.

Very nice derivate of the super famous puzzle (Reti's study) without black f and g pawns, with pawn on h5 and white king on h8. This one is "spicier" with f and g pawns.

What if at 07:07 black doesn't move the king to b7? Instead is promoting the pawn f2-f1 to Queen? Then check white until gets the black Queen??? #CheckMate

Because black would not have a check that will force a queen trade

this is an application of the Reti endgame study, I don't think it happened in a real game, I mean I am pretty sure that at least a variation of it has happened in a real game, somewhere. But those positions are usually created to prove a tactical pattern.

​@@MrGoMario yes but then the white c pawn promotes

Hmm what if Blacks first move is Kb6 and when white plays Kxg7, Black moves f5 and keep moving the F pawn until it is promotes. If white Kings take the H pawn after f5 White will lose. Instead White has to move Kf6 and Ke5. Meanwhile Black just advances the f pawn until it promotes. Now both Black and White get a Queen but Black then still l have the H pawn. Can't Black win that endgame ? Edit typos.

@ChessCrafters-lk4dv

No, black can't win that endgame, even if he has one pawn up, because, with the correct play from white, he wouldn't be able to force a queen trade. If he would try to promote his pawn by playing H5, white will give checks until a draw is achieved. Both ways is a draw

I don’t understand. If black simply captures the white pawn , without moving his own pawns, and then marches his king over to his own pawns, white is helpless. This position is a certain win for black isn’t it?

@ChessCrafters-lk4dv

Black will need 2 moves to capture white pawn and in those 2 moves white will capture the G pawn and the F pawn. And the white king being on the F file could reach the H file first, by moving on the diagonal path, to be able to stop black from promoting

@@jesnjoseph4907After the first move Kg6, white is just 1 move away from capturing the g pawn, while black is 2 moves away from that. If you still cannot get it, I suggest you put this endgame in stockfish and play against it as black, that’s much faster than figuring it out by just reading explanations in words.

If your opponent finds this they're either a GM (They're not), an engine, or cheating.
