Ian had a WAAAAAAY harder position, you can't even imagine how crazy is to win a normal Queen vs Rook endgame, this position is already a victory, meanwhile here can mate in 16 and is already a victory, in normal positions like Ian had it is mate 26+ that even some engines say just +60 and not seen a mate

@@Deathf1yeryeah its very difficult in Blitz in most titled Tuesdays there’s always one guy in a rook vs queen ending. The weaker side shifts his rook back and forth for 50 moves on the third rank and then it’s drawn. It’s impossible to figure out the procedure otb. The defence was discovered by the bell computer (making it the first time a tool discovered something mankind didn’t know) and Walter Browne passed the 50 move rule. That was in a classical game so good luck in a blitz game.

"... in this position..." Yeah, what if it's not?

coming here after Magnus vs Nepo :)

I think you should give pgn of the position so that the viewer could try out different variants.

Very useful ! Thanks!

Qa5 is also winning bro 😁 if Kc8, then Qa8+, Kc7, Qa7+ if Ke8, then Qb5 pinning the rook if Rc7 blocking the check, then Kd6

Qb6+ is better. After kc8 you play Qc6+ and take the rook on the next move. If Ke8 then you just pin the rock and take on the next move.

You're correct. There are several ways to win in this position. But since you mentioned Qa5+, did you consider Qb6+? Qb6+ is more efficient. In fact, I prefer it to his move because Qb6+ begins with Check. It is the first move I considered.

I probably overanalyzed this, but the sequence I found started with Qb6+ with three variants. If Kc8, Qc6, getting the rook regardless of the next move and winning. If Rc7, Qb8+, Rc8, Qd6+, Ke8, Qe7 mate. If Ke8, Qb8+, Rd8, Qb5+ where you can find more variants. If they block with Rd7, Qd7+ and it's winning by material. If they do Kf8, then Qf5+, forcing Kg8 because of the mate on Qf7 if Ke8. After Kg8, Qf7+, Kh8, Qf6+ with a fork. You win the rook and eventually the game. Needless to say I felt extremely dumb after seeing how simple the actual answer was.

Nice but you did a lot of miscalculation, First you are right there's 3 variations. Qb6+ followed by: 1) Rc7, Kd6 and you will win the rook on the next move because of the pin (i found it easier). Or your method. 2)Ke8, Qc6 pinning the rook to the king and you will win the rook on the next move. You went for unnecessary check. 3)Kc8, Qc6+, Rc7 is what you missed I'm not saying it is not winnable but it has a lot of variations and it is not easy Best way to win this type of position is to attack the rook first.

Loving these videos! These tactics have been quite useful, I made my first brilliant move today (and it wasn't accidental) and it's been super fun to get back into chess! Keep up the great content, it's very encouraging!

The trailer is impressive. Where is the full movie?

Queen d5 pinning the rook then after the king moves any square you take rook and go on to win the game

I saw Qb6#, followed by Qc6 regardless of where the king goes, because either way you win the rook. It's more moves to mate but far easier to find imo

Beautiful

When it gives a check

What about Qf8 the king is forced to the left, do that one more time, take the rook, and do any methods to check mate king

You basicly use the advantage of the queen can go diagonaly

Does Qb6+ also work?

This position is unfortunately not easy to reach

Qa5+ will work as well as any move made by black will have him lose the rook

Just put Qb6 and in like 2 moves he will loose his rook and there's still another checkmate

Why does this guy not look like an actual person?

My goofy ahh checking the king with queen a5:

It's important to note that Qc6 is not a blunder. It is just not advancing towards mate. Because after rook check King can go to f6 instead and there's no stalemate

@PrincePugsJr

Жыл бұрын

No. After Kf6, black still plays Re6+, forking our king and queen. We are forced to take otherwise we lose the queen and the game. However, after we take we end up in the same position and it is a stalemate.

@ishanjoshi1350

Жыл бұрын

You're right about Kf6. But Kf5 instead

Queen b6 check, if the king moves to e8 then you c6 and pin the rook to the king, and if the king moves to c8 you again go to c6 this time with check and after king moves you grab the rook Edit: nvm, after king goes c8 and you go c6, then he can move his rook to c7 and prevent the take for now but at least I tried

Bro had a faster mate queen b6 check only move king e8, queen b8 mate

I don't think this explains it for when the pieces are near the middle of the board

I thought of Qb6 Ke8 and Qb5 pinning the rook to the king

Would Qbg+ work? That’s what I thought

So in summary dont put your queen in the same vertical or horizontal line with the king

Can f8 work too?

why not when rc7 qb8 checkmate?

What if the rook is on the other side of the board?

I’m not a good player but you can pin the rook to the king in 2 moves

does Qb6 work?

What about Qa5 if king go to the right u pin the rook on the king if not thers Qa6

Yup, this is easy all the time, and never miss it. 😁

there are 2 also possibilities I. Qb6,Ke8,Qc6 pins rook II. 2nd one was my opinion if queen was there at c6 from the we can go after this tactic Qa8 Kc7 Qa7 Kc6 wins rook

A5 check e5 check then take rook

A much simpler way to win is to go check on b6 yea?

I found other checkmate lol

qb6 qa5 take the rook if blocks kd6

Why doesn't Qb6 work

Not c6 you go to b6. Any move next is wining rook

We could have given qb6 check

I tried this for myself and it works

What about b6???

What about Qb6

After rook c7 can't you just queen b8 checkmate?

U could've mated before pining the rook

id just align rook and king to skewer king

I’d rather get Queen a8 to win without taking the rook lol

im dumb can someone explain how taking the rook is stalemate?

Doesn't queen b6 also work? If king c8 queen c6 wins the rook with checkmate the next move If king e8 queen c6 with the pin also wins the rook the next move And if rook blocks with c7, king d6 same thing Am I wrong?

Wouldnt have Qb5 to Qb8 won the game?

Take the rook

What if he played king e8?

Queen e7 would also capture the rook than you go for a chdckmate
