  1. You should have put the Queen on h1 and have black to move and ask people to find the best move. He's ahead by two pawns, has the move, and not in check. And yet despite this, he's still lost. I think you can even put an extra black pawn on the f file and have him three pawns ahead and still doomed.

  2. this is why i never play the french defense

  3. Chess Vibes what an awesome awesome video. No didnโ€™t spot the win by white. Pausing it.

  4. 00:09 Imagine playing black, white offers a draw and you arrogantly decline with two passed-connected pawns up, Then your opponent thinks for a while, moves Qh1, and smiles back at you. ๐Ÿคฉ

  5. Holy crap THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IVE ACTUALLY SOLVED ONE OF THESE PUZZLES! I donโ€™t care if my elo is low Iโ€™m proud of myself ๐Ÿ˜Œ

  6. At 3:35 it's a draw. If you have common sense to grab the b5 pawn after queen trade and then to take a file pawn also. NOT EXPECTED FROM NELSON TO SAY LOSS.

  7. I can proudly say, that I figured this one out!

  8. i think im getting better at chess puzzles ๐Ÿ˜€

  9. Can somebody want play with me "No capture peaces" chess match?

    Normal chess rules, but no capture, if you capture one peaces, you are lose to games

  10. Nice one! I got them all correct, even the ladder part, but I failed to find the last blow.

  11. 3:25 actually, after the queen trade the king can go down and capture both of the pawns since the black king is too far.

  12. At 3:28, after the queen trade, Kxb5 deaws the game if white plays correctly and white doesn't lose.

  13. I have the same elo as black when they make mistakes

  14. as a 700 it was nice to have a puzzle that I was able to keep up with.

  15. "The starting point of all achievement is desire." —Napoleon Hill

  16. Great one…
    And it made me feel good that I immediately saw that the answer had to be Qh1 to avoid the Black's checks , and then I saw the staircase idea seconds later. I did miss the idea that Black could move his king, but once he pointed it out, was able to see what to do in that instance.๐Ÿ˜Ž

  17. "White to Win" why not Black to Win? are you raci-

  18. It is not a very difficult puzzle because there is nothing else to consider but it is pretty cool that white is winning here

    6:19 why donโ€™t you force a stalemate by Qa8+ ?
    More funny ๐Ÿ˜†

  20. Im sorry but can someone explain why the staircase is not considered draw by repetition?

  21. @Chess Vibes theres a Rare Alekhine's defence that only happens on 10 games which is called the "Monkele MBembe", can you make a video about that?

  22. Im 200 elo (i just reached yesterday), and i found out 3 moves that he said, im just better, im just that guy

  23. i would have just played queen a8 forced stalemate

  24. wow i made all of them :D, i love how i can do easliy chess problems, then actuall game ๐Ÿ™

  25. Ina time he had quenn a8 for forced stale mate
