You cant en passant from that square@@herewithyou888
Excellent examples. That trapped queen puzzle is also one of my favorites!
Great content as usual! Please cover tactics on a regular basis.
The way you talk through the puzzles makes it so easy to understand them and most importantly be able to find them ourselves next time
That's one of the most helpful chess video I've ever seen. Thank you for such amazing content.
Hi gauri I used to struggle to understand that what limited my chess learning where I was struck at one point and now you gave me the clarity how to approach the game thanks.. And also love your youtube shorts..
Nice! So many good skills to learn I hope I can apply it on my game. Just subscribed
Great video and like usual amazing teaching skills.
This was a fantastic video!!! All the puzzles were amazing but the last one just blew me away with how many squares the knight was really covering. 🤯 It’s no wonder the knight is so tricky! You’re such a great teacher Gauri :) I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, you’re one of my newest favourite chess influencers. Your authentic style with delivering these great lessons and even watching you play your games is a welcome edu-tainment!
I'm so happy I found you Gauri! Just subscribed. Not only do you have superb content, but you're so likable aswell! Hope to see some collaboration with you and Rosen sometime. Would be awesome!
I didn't realise how much of my moves were hope chess. Definitely something I'll think about now:)

I’m pretty terrible at the endgame so this was very helpful and informative
Your video is so underrated! I appreciate all your good work and shared it with my chess friends :)
Hello Gauri, I worked on the same study a few years ago and I remembered an incredible solution involving stalemate. Now I know what's missing, the white king should be on d8, giving Black the b8 square when b6 is played. Then when White promotes, Black also promotes and you can't take the queen. The only move then is Qg8!! and there is nothing Black can do. If Qe8?, Qg7!, blocking the king. If Qf8? , Qa3! is a draw.

1500 USCF and this was really helpful. Thank you. Also I love the term hope chess
OMG the coolest way you explain chess..
Hey Gauri, just wanted to say your videos are great, the puzzles are super instructive. If you’re having a hard time with them, don’t give up! Taking a while to think these sort of problems through can really make you a good chess player. Right now, it may seem very hard, but it’s mostly just ideas and pattern recognition, and like Gauri said, being able to piece together your ideas and your calculation. You can do this!!!
Great video , puzzles are beautiful like your voice ,huge respect for this man 🙏
Keep up this content bro!
Excellent... ❤ These type of videos are enough to improve chess skills
To everyone confused, regarding en passant in the first puzzle, it's crucial to note that executing this move on the 7th rank, while you're positioned on the 6th rank, isn't possible. To better clarify, you must be on the 5th rank as White or the 4th rank as Black to successfully perform this maneuver.
You're great bro, so insightful ❤❤❤❤❤ this
this is amazing dude, I love it
Awesome video 👍

This dude is great
thank u sir
I didnt fully solved any of these but i learned a lot. That last puzzle looks a bit like the Townes vs Harmon game in the Queens Gambit (kentucky championship) with the idea of a king and knight covering enough squares to trap a rook
in the 3rd puzzle, the rook could directly go a5, queen takes, then knight to c6 forking the queen and king. If black defends with pawn it would still be the same thing.
20:27 well, not really e6 because if the rook was on e6, that would be check and the K would have taken it
I got all except second cos I was greedy and thought that king f5 would work and didnt think much
16:36 two worst enemies working together
you’re a great teacher! subscribed!
Do you have more puzzles like this? Maybe you can upload pgns? They’re pretty fun
Thank u

In the first puzzle what if after the white best move the kingfollow one of the pawns to protect them?
Hey Gauri can you tell us where did you found those chess puzzles and can you recommend us a good chess puzzles book. Btw i solved the no 3 postion on my own and i was feeling like Magnus carlsen lol.
On second puzzle can you sacrifice the rook on e6, opponent takes and then you queen.

No,,white could take en passant if the white pawn was on a5
Conclusion: Understand your goal in the position! Be logical. Search for ideas for your win. Meanwhile use your computer-like part of your brain and look for forcing moves to reach your goal
