And if you add black rooks on all white squares except f5 and g4 and g2 there will be mate in 1

I knew the mate would have to be top left or bottom right corner from playing checkers.
Very happy to see your channel growing!
It's not that different than a rook+king v king end game. Just turn your head 45 degrees 🙂
Great black bishop wall just make chess board a checkers board. There is no material advantage.
cuz of it i dont play e4☠️🆘
Before watching: should work out like a king and rook endgame. Just think of the diagonals as "rows" and work from there.
When black has like 8 bishops, he has material advantage
But when black has 32 bishops like this, he has, well, material disadvantage
I'm glad I didn't try to work within the 50 move rule, since I first wanted to see if I could corner them in any ol' corner. But I suspect only the white corners are possible (Like a typical bishop mating pattern)
How in the world do computers come up with this position being drawn?! Yes, there are possibilities for stalemate, but it's a simple funneling of the king into the top left or bottom right corner, some people put this in a similar vein as a rook (or perhaps queen) and king vs. king endgame. Drawn position?! Please. 🤦🏾♂🤦🏾♂
indeed crazy
In stock fish of lichess it is showing Mate in 9 from the first position.
Funny, although too easy.
Cool
Cool
I just got this position yesterday, I didnt know I could win
great example of weakness in the light squares!
This game can actually be reduced to having 7 white dark bishops, each holding 1 diagonal, instead of 32 black bishops
And as we all know 2 opposite color bishops can mate the opponent king, this might as well do it
👍
Since the dark squares can be discarded, the bishop becomes essentially a rook, with the diagonals being the "rows" and "columns". So the strategy is the same as a rook mate: use the bishop to block the king's escape, then use your king to push the opposing king further and further into the corner.
That's just like a bishop knight checkmate but easy version :/
This puzzle is clear proof that knights are stronger than bishops after all. 🤓😆
What about 31 Bisops?
This is why you shouldn't play the Caro Kann
One of your easier ones, but still nice!
