    I believe that is not only this particular player. Look closer at ALL of the IM and GM norm tournaments. Look at the number of "draws" and "wins" by the "young prodigies" that seek those norms. Selling points is a common plague even Karjakin had the suspicious tournament where he got his "the youngest GM title".

    What am I missing here? If you're hitting 100% correlation against any modern engine at a reasonable depth when playing people around your rating, you are almost definitely cheating. Not only would it make you as strong as the engine for that game, but it would mean your decisions are IDENTICAL which is even more unlikely than being the rating of the engine.

    After a long time thinking and analyzing it i couldn't get a solutions with 4 movements for each of the players, I got one with 4 white and 3 black movements but it's impossible for me to see a 4-4 solution, as the black player needs 3 pawn movements one being capturing the bishop. Anyways, it's a brilliant problem and I would love to see the solution Pd: u are awesome bro, love your hat

  • @TheChessViking
    @TheChessViking4 ай бұрын

    THERE is ONE and only ONE solution. Black can only makes 2 pawn moves...but how to spend the other two and in what order is the tricky part. I wil give you the start... 1.e4 e6 2.Bb5

  • @miguelramos9187
    @miguelramos91874 ай бұрын

    After thinking for ten minutes I haven't been able to find the solution. The pawn on d7 is either captured by the white bishop, or is the one who captures said bishop on c6 or e6, having the white bishop previously eliminated the black pawn from the corresponding file. In the first case, Black's moves would be e6, c6, capture the bishop on d7 and return the piece to its original square, but this is not possible since after playing c6 and e6 in any order, 3. Bxd7 is illegal. On the other hand, it is not possible to follow the second strategy either, as it is impossible to deal with the problem of losing time. Black should make c6, e6, dxc6 (or dxe6) and one more move, which makes solving the puzzle impossible. Trying to capture the black pawn on c4 or e4 also does not lead to a valid four-move solution. 1. e4 e6 2. Bc4 (2. Bb5 Qe7 3. Bxd7+ Qxd7 4. Nf3 Qd8 5. Ng1 c6) 2... c6 3. Bxe6 dxe6 "Solutions" of three or five moves are very simple. Does this puzzle as formulated have a solution? I think it's brilliant whether it has it or not.

  • @miguelramos9187

    ​@@TheChessVikingThanks to the knowledge that there is only one solution, I have managed to find it, because with that in mind you only have to focus on the differences that there could be between moving the c-pawn or the e-pawn first. Thank you very much ^^ When checking the solution on the Internet (1. e4 e6 2. Bb5 Ke7 3. Bxd7 c6 4. Be8 Kxe8), I have seen that there are people who have had problems because when sharing the FEN of "this is the position you have to reach", the black king could still castle. That is why the video format is better to share this wonderful puzzle.
