of course ... other moves for white lead to obviously lost positions so it quickly finds the ones that don't
One of the most beautiful and instructive puzzle i've ever seen! Indispensable and subtle chess principles as sustaining tempo, move sequences and maneuvering, and zugzwang were all demonstrated. Loved this.

The sustaining of tempo was unnecessary after the pawn promoted to a queen. The game is ended in white's favor in fewer moves by Qf8, followed by Qg7 mate, no matter what black does. Edit: I was wrong. Qf8 leaves black with Qa1 ch.
fascinating puzzle! all of the moves are so intuitive, yet they create quite the interesting combination :D

More or less my idea. It is quite possible that I would have found every individual move over the board in that given position - not being sure whether it would win the game.
Absolutely brilliant. Shows the endless possibilities of Chess moves, the power of the Queen, and finding the way to win!
Perfectly shows the power of the queen and the importance of tempo.
Your chess videos are immensely superior. You explain it well, and illustrate it well. I learn something every time.
Incredible position! Black had so many pieces and was forced to lose all of them. Crazy! Amazing video as always Nelson!
I immediately saw the first move and the next few logical continuations, but I had absolutely no idea of the subsequent complications. Very nice!
Outstanding presentation! Videos like this should be used to spread the word about problem chess!
I had no idea what the moves were supposed to be, but I did know one thing: don't stop checking. Check every move, no matter what.
Wow, like 9 mini puzzles in one position. Amazing composition. I love how your channel has unusual puzzles like this.

Okay
Apart from the pawn-clearing, I recognized this pattern from the outset. The first 3 moves were literally my first try and it took me a moment to work out the specific tactics at 2 of the checkpoints. A queen out of position is no queen at all. A very instructive video on how powerful the King is in a mating attack in the endgame.
i’m so proud of myself, i actually saw almost all the moves as nelson explained it
i would literally ragequit chess if this happened to me like usually you'd think the queen checks would end after a while but they dont and then u realise that the queen is taking all your pawns and piece slowly, with check and when u think it might be a draw it becomes a checkmate
At 3:20 I was convinced that the next move for White was to move Queen to F8, but then I saw that Black can just move Queen to A1 to Check.

Excellent demo. Very instructive. Congratulations
Watching these puzzles is helping. I actually came up with the correct moves this time.
Amazing puzzle, easy to follow and understand yet still complex and full of small details
Love the geometry of the queen moves. I was surprised how far I could calculate this without seeing the position. 1. Re7+ Kf8 2. d7 Kg8 3. Re8+ Kh7 4. Rxd8 d1=Q 5. Rh8+ Kxh8 6. d8=Q+ Kh7 7. Qc7+ Kh6 8. Qxf4+ Kh7 9. Qh2+ Kg8 10. Qb8+ Kh7 11. Qxa7+ Kh6 12. Qxe3+ Kh7 13. Qh3+ Kg8 14. Qc8+ Kh7 Here I decided to set the position on the board to calculate from that because I wasn't too sure where the next couple of moves were leading. That was very helpful. 15. Qd7+ Kh6 16. Qh3+ Qh5 17. Qe3+ g5 18. Qxd3 (queen has to guard g6 square so there are only two moves - g4 and Qe8) g4 19. Qe3+ Kh7 20. Qe7+ Kh6/Kh8/Kg8 21. Qg7# 18. ... Qe8 19. Qh3+ Qh5 20. Qf5 (threatening Qxg5+ -> Qg7# and Qg6# so black's queen is paralysed) g4 21. Qf4+ Kh7 22. Qc7+ Kh6/Kh8/Kg8 23. Qg7# Gotta say I had a chess orgasm after solving this. As I said before, the geometry of the queen moves is truly fascinating.

@@ecospider5 That's good. The most difficult it seemed to me to realize the plan and the moment with the queen moving it to the lighted squares.
The greatest chess puzzle I've ever seen in my life.
I think I learned more about end game positioning in this one video than all the other resources I've seen. Of course there are endgames with no queens and just knights and pawns. But it's these sort repeated check opportunities that demonstrate how you can hang on without feeling compelled to resign.
Puzzles like this make me wonder how many times people have resigned seemingly obviously “lost” positions when in reality they had a forced win.
Judging from the opening position, the key for white was a series of forcing moves. And what's more forcing than a check? QED
At 10:20, ...Qf7+ forced White to take. It's still a mate, but because the mate is not 1 move later, it's the only "tactic" left for Black to pull off a stalemate if White isn't exacting. It's again mate, but it's worth noting how this final stab Black takes heightens the level of how exacting White must be all the more so, up to this last ditch effort.
Superb... Keep posting this kind of puzzles
Amazing puzzle! Thanks for this great explanation.
Nice show! I hope your channel will remain longer without another interruption.
Good stuff, Nelson!
Really cool puzzle, beginning was easy but that final trick with repositioning queen escaped me
When I first saw this, I got the first couple of moves pretty quickly and realised a rook sac might be necessary to allow a white queen to arrive. I thought that White's ability to threaten mate might mean that black wouldn't even have time to promote his pawn, but it turns out that black can make a queen, but white will still win because his own new queen can get active immediately. Tempo is so important. It pans out a bit differently if it is black to play at the start.
Awesome!!! That’s bud. I really enjoy learning from you.
so this is how you win a level 12 computer since they do not make mistakes like humans and play the best possible moves. I'll keep watching these videos to beat it. Thanks a lot
This is like a reverse psychology puzzle. I feel like the super obvious moves are never right in higher level puzzles but that was the case a few times here
@bjornlangoren3002

Reverse is the key. I suspect the puzzle is indeed designed with the ending first, and then rolled up with forced move after forced move, and putting down black pieces in the path of destruction as you go.
Indeed ,i saw many puzzles,but this one looks like a match's middle game,truely magnifisant.
Mindblowing is the correct expression, thanks a lot for this wonderful puzzle
As a 900, I am proud to say that I found the first half of the moves

I thought there was a simpler position for checkmate in 6 white moves from the initial position, diverging at 2:09, but that's because I didn't see that black's bishop was there to prevent that exact ending. At least I'm getting better about seeing paths and solutions!

It looks like start of the video white can play two moves for checkmate
On the 2nd puzzle you should have went down to the white square because from there there is a checkmate in 3 or 4
I saw all these steps in the beginning during the short pauze. Easy puzzle.
5:00 - I would have guessed to go Qa1 to check, but I see the king can "escape" to h8, but that does leave open going BACK to h2 for a check to force the same position. So if I was playing this, I would have played Qa1 just in the hopes of a mismove of the king to f8. :P
@thetaomegatheta
Жыл бұрын
The only queen that can get to a1 from that position is the black one, but it's white to move, and Qb8 is a check that forces Kh7. There is no opportunity for black queen to go a1. If you want to go a1 with the white queen at some point shortly after, black just takes with their queen and white loses.
with the help of SF14: This is a true Mate in 24 for white! All other moves are Mate in at most 12 for black. Amazing,
I saw a simpler solution with king g7 and let black promote since you can check mate with rook E7. Basically cut off the king. The king can’t move and if black moves the knight moves to check the king simply move the king to g8 which avoids the knight while keeping the pin on the king. Then when they promote since they don’t really have any other option, check mate with the rook since it’s protected and the king can’t enter the squares next to your king. The pawn promotion does nothing since it’s blocked my tbe bishop and by the time it moves to defend it’s too late

@@thetaomegatheta I see. I was assuming black would promote its pawn rather than take the rook.
the intereisting thing is that a lot of players will play every move but nearly noone of them sees from the beginnint to the end. For me it was oh lets play Re7 i dont see to the end but it looks nice and after that d7 seemed the only one not loosing imidiately and so on . i found each single move but most of them because they where the only ones holding white into the game and not because i saw the checkmate.
Always love the queen puzzles!
that was amazing!
Chess is such intriguing game. Ancient say it imitates battle field and I agree
Nelson, I know you did a video on how to destroy a fianchetto, but is it possible to make a video on how to fianchetto effectively and use it as an attacking and a defensive weapon?
Wow! Brilliant puzzle shows vulnerability of king pinned to side of the board!
The nice sample of the meaning of Tempo and using bad position of the black king .
So mindblowing
I thought I had the solution like 7 times throughout that whole thing but was wrong repeatedly until the very end
Really nice and educational
Brilliant.

Great puzzle!
What a beautiful windmill combination.
queen on open board with exposed king can often let a skilled player maintain tempo long enough to force a mate
At 4:05 why not Qc7+? king goes down, now you play Qh2, they have to block with queen, Qf4+ they have to block with queen again or they get checkmated by the lines shown in the video, but you can just take it. edit: the pawn can block that last check and there's no good follow up

Amazing windmill queen tactic checkmate
Can also repeat the queen move and then checkmate :) as in, after taking the first pawn, instead of continuing the line, isn’t it possible to go Q back to c2, have that Bosnian king go to h6, queen to h2.. and GG?
