with puzzle 4, after the bishop is double pinned can't you just play Bc6+, winning the queen?
In puzzle 3, after Rb6 I get the sequence shown but seemed odd not to mention that black could just take it with their pawn on a7. Isn't that also winning? (the knight can't stop the pawns on its own)
On puzzle 3, why not just take the rook once it takes the bishop?
"This one's kinda long, so I'm not gonna let you pause." Pauses anyways
Honestly in the 3rd puzzle at 8:15 white could win with rook to b 5 as it still defends the knight and there is no way to attack the rook
Those are some great puzzles. I'll say though, I definitely prefer the more natural puzzles. When they're clearly crafted for effect, it just doesn't have the same impact for me.
This are honestly plays you might never do, BUT they teach you how to think outside the box to win
This one on the title it was smothers mate
1st one promote to a knight move it to f6
The 6th one was insane !!
6:41 how about d3x
At 6:15 the reasonable move would be for black to take the rook, not the knight. Superior numbers and an ability to cripple the enemy's superior mobility will likely win the game.
puzzle 3: what if I go E5 with the knight after they go to a5 with the pawn
Puzzle no 3 is the pearl of poznan!
Puzzle 1 is magic π€©
In puzzle 2 is knight b3 not just mate in one?
On the last puzzle I started grinning after the double pawns realizing what was about to happen
I normally don't care for puzzles but these are all works of art!
0:26 is the easiest one
3:00 Nc2
Puzzle 4 bishop c6 is good because of check and then queen capture queen
Me who knows they wonβt solve any puzzles but watches anyways
Firrrssssttttt
why not take the rook early on in puzzle three?
17:08
Chess vibes: you have (k)nights on the board
Me: Five (k)nights at freddys!
Sorry for the horrible joke
Nice
The last puzzle is my favorite
Hi
only five comments?!?!
Hey Nelson! These are my favorite of your videos. I know it's a little more work but could you post pgns for puzzle videos like this in the future in the description? I'm just not good enough at visuslization for some of the harder moves and remaking the position is a chore especially when there are 8 of them! Thanks so much and keep making puzzle/endgame study videos!
Position 2 is from the post-mortem analysis of a blitz game between Koskinen (which is a common Finnish name, not to be confused with the chess player Henri Koskinen in the databases, who was born in 1964 – so likely the first name Henri is wrong in my sources) and Juha Kasanen, Helsinki 1967.
in puzzle 2 what if you don't take the rook?
The last one was so much better than checkmate in one lol
the 5 knights puzzle is just a normal saturday afternoon for hikaru
That last one would just be a cruel way to end the game.
You pick beautiful studies and assignments, really! If I may advise, please add the author in each assignment each time. The retrograde problems are also beautiful, for example by the German mathematician and teacher Werner Keim. But some are very, very difficult to solve. They require a high IQ and especially patience. I believe they are harder logic problems than Einstein himself invented!
Im a 600 and i got the unstoppable double 100% WHAT IM JUST 600
Edit: double screwer or X and in the puzzle 6 uh i got that position but i lost my chance but got a win anyways puzzle 7 its a knight mate lol PUZZLE 8 IS SO COOL get traped my comments are cringe also puzzle 8 has a pawn move just to win can you find it?
7 is legendary
8 is too many for 1 video. 3 or maximum 5 is better imo
2nd puzzle. What if the rook is not captured and white plays a defensive move instead
3rd puzzle, why didnt black take the rook?
Puzzle 6 was a real Check Republic. π
Why can the e5 pawn just go to the e6 position to take the night when he goes there
The puzzles from you are my favorite I have missed them.
Your pick of studies and compositions are amazing.
Though that line of "Want to be 1500+ to read this book" made me go. "Welp never getting that book then."
solving the thumbnail: pawn promotes, any move, pawn over there checkmate
That was a gorgeous smothered checkmate (#8). π€£π€£
checkmate with a gazillion knights was a fun one to watch
No on puzzle 4 β¦ Black wins ! As of 11:10 Bc6 check !
Puzzle 7 is 5 Knights at Freddy's
