This knight dancing was so fascinating and the checkmate is so cool. This puzzle is so fun and cool

plz make a video about tips for beginners, such as how to avoid traps and how to set traps

Knight's purpose 1. Control closed positions 2. Support passed pawns 3. Block passed pawns 4. Protect king from checks 5. Fork pieces 6. Do silly dances to assert dominance over enemy bishop Edit: Thanks for the heart and all, but how come I'm the only one that got it? Is this comment special? Lmk Edit 2: Nvm 2 seconds afterwards I saw others got it too

That was a pretty cool puzzle. The checkmate looked very nice as well and I have never seen anything like it. Thank you so much for sharing that.

both amazing and informative chess from this guy

Would not have spotted mate, but a couple of days ago I made check with a fork on their knight and it just so happened to be mate. So, if you speculatively check the king, you stop a stalemate and if you are lucky you might discover an accidental checkmate. Subject to a blunder check that you don't lose the attacking piece, of course.

Found the correct idea; the opening move, the zugzwangs, and black's attempted defense but didn't work through the knight's laddering checks to re-establish the zugzwang nor did I see the checkmate-in-one at the end. EDIT: I was in error and missed "White to Play" (sometimes my wife and I are competing for volume when I start these) so I deleted my comment and started over.

Beautiful checkmate there

One of your best postings. Thanks for sharing.

I looked at this a few time to see alternatives but once white puts the knight on to D4 black as no squaree to move the bishop to. Any square you think of to get the bishop onto that critical diagonal is covered. Nice.

However, this wouldn’t work against chatgpt, it would just take its own piece to escape check

"You must to see 1 move checkmate in order to win" Martin: "My time has come, thats what i was born and living for"))

Seems a like a rare open position, in which N is better than B

i think this types of puzzles are the best content of this channel.

Great puzzle. Saw everything except the end checkmate!!

I expected that Nf2 move. And the 2 other moves by the knight but I missed the final crazy checkmate.

Nelson: bishop is slightly better than knight Also Nelson: this particular knight dance prevent bishop check and literally win the game

it didnt prevent a bishop check

I would have liked to see the line where once white is one step from getting the queen (6:40) instead of pushing the pawn, black sacrifices the bishop (A4 to C6) to get the knight out of position, then pushes the pawn. I think it's still checkmate, but it takes white a few more moves.

@Benji Buell , and taking the knight would probably buy even more time, but that wasn't the point. Any line where white queens but black doesn't is probably an obvious win for white.

puzzles just make a day shine.

To correct you, if they play a6 first, its actually a win for white, because i am playing black.

Should i get the queen with a pawn that isnt defending king even if its a sacrfice?

What if black sacrifices their bishop on c6? Wouldn’t black then be able to get a queen right after white does, and Qh8 would no longer be mate since the knight would be out of position?

Before watching, I'd play knight to f2 to cut off bishop before racing a rank pawn

You are my favorite KZreadr. Your vid’s always make my day❤

I'm gonna be honest I was expecting a dance to reach F5, since in that position knight to f5 would be mate. Sure, your opponent has a move when you threaten F5, but being able to threaten mate and then move off to do something else is a good way of buying momentum.

If you do play a7, and they play bd6, I'm pretty sure there is still a winning line from nd1. If they don't play e6 you can win their bishop (or else checkmate) and safely queen, and if they do play e6 you can force a trade of knight and h pawn for the bishop, again letting you queen safely.

@@thetaomegatheta ne3 attacks their bishop, but more importantly it threatens checkmate with nf5, so black cannot move their bishop. They can move be4, but then you can promote your a pawn to a queen and if black takes it it's mate in 1. If they played e6 after you played nd1, the M1 threat is already guarded against, but you still have ng4+,kg7,h6+ and from there depends on where black moves their king and has their bishop placed but you can play moves like nf6, kg5, etc. Until you can take their h pawn creating another queen threat. If black blockades the h pawn with their king, you can bring your own king in as backup, and ne8, nd6, nf7 moves your knight around to checkmate the king. a8Q is also a checkmate if the bishop moves off the controlling diagonal. There are a lot of variations to follow, but I'm pretty sure it's a win for white.

@@matthewparker9276 'ne3 attacks their bishop, but more importantly it threatens checkmate with nf5, so black cannot move their bishop' I don't get what line you are talking about. Nf2 Bc2 a6 Bxb3 a7 Bd5 Nd1 Ba8 Ne3 Kg7 The move Ne3 doesn't threaten anything. The bishop is already gone, and the king just moves away without issue. And this line is the fastest that you can go Nd1 after a7. In the other variations black has even more time to evade the threats. None of the rest of what you wrote makes any sense, as it all hinges on Ne3 threatening the bishop and the checkmate, but there is literally no way for it to do so unless black just wastes turns.

I actually had a similar checkmate against martin except my queen was guarded by a rook and it was right next to the king

I gotta know, would this be the same without the D pawn? It didnt do anything at any moment

What if You do the dance and then bishop moves back to where pawn was and goes on the diagonal next move

Chess but martin moves queen u need to move pawn

But when knight d4+ then king g8 and when a8 Queen+ king g7 and there’s no queen h8 checkmate so isn’t that just a draw Edit: Nvm I put it in stock fish and the bishop and king get forked

Amazing chekmate

I wonder if Martin can see this 1 move checkmate

I can't believe that I actually saw the checkmate.

Kf2, bishop to f5, pushes pawn, bishop to e6, pushes the pawn to a7 , bishop to d5, pawn stopped This way black stops the pawn. Correct me if I am wrong 😅

Neither of the kings can go to f2 from where they start right away. If you meant 'Nf2', then this goes basically like in the video, and no pawns are stopped. Nf2 Bf5 a6 Be6 Ng4+ If black goes Kg7, then things go just as in the video. If black takes the knight with the bishop, then white retakes, and then goes to promote the pawn unopposed.

Hello dear, Chess puzzle for you Brother. It's white to play and win. White. Pawns: A2,E7, G2 and H2 Roozks: D8 and E1 Queen: E1 King: G1 Black. Pawns: A7, B7, B4, F6 and H6 Rooks: C8 and E8 Queen: F5 King: G8

Howdy! Challenge vs Martin. Swiss banker chess: moving your pieces cost money to move! $$$! The price to move them is the value of the piece: knight/bishop 3$, rook 5$ and queen 9$. To generate money, moving a pawn 1 square gives 1$ and 2 squares 2$. The king is rich though, moving him grants 5$, castle gives 10$. Promoting a pawn gives 20$ (Grand Prize). Use your money wisely Nelson! Stay sharp, play smart and have fun!
