I had it up to the knight promotion but then lost it, but the bishop idea hit as you approached it. For the puzzle at the end that was easy. I've seen something like it before.

This is why I love chess. One wrong move and boom… the tables have turned.
Double rook sacrifice was answer
Double rook sacrifice then queen kills
Hi suren
So simple
1. Rh8 kxh8
2. Rh1 kg8
3. Rh8 kxh8
4. Qh1 kg7
5. Qh7#
Again nice puzzle with forced moves but why should white accept the rook sacrifice? Queen A7 is mate instead of taking rook. Please correct me.
2:24 game ends Qa7 is check mate. Isn't it?
suren how many elo do you have?
Rh8+, king takes h8
Rh1+, king goes to g8
Rook sacrifices itself in h8 square with a check, Rh8+
Kh8 is brutally forced.
Now white queen joins the game from h1 square with a check, Qh1+
King goes to g8, Kg8
And now white queen jumps to h7 square, Qh7# Checkmate!
Solved it in seconds, lol.
The puzzle , I guess is the Damiano's mate with two took sacrifices on h8
Interesting puzzle game, like it 👍👍👍👌👌👌☺️👌👌
Windmill tactics to solve puzzle
Why underpromotions? It doesn't matter if white captures the rook with queen or the bishop.
Rxd7 to free queens path , then Rh8+ , after Kxh8 , Q h1 the Kg8 , #
1. Rh8+ Kxh8 2. Rh1+ Kg8 3. Rh8+ Kxh8 4. Qh1+ Qh2 5. Qxh2+ Kg8 6. Qh7#
Anyone wants to play with me than pleas reply myy rating is 1822
Fantastic ! White can lose with one single wrong move…… and this despite several passed pawns. And yes, the perpetual check for a draw is always hovering. Great puzzle !!!
Why didn't the rook capture the dark colored Bishop @3:08?
Thats so far the best chess puzzle ive seen,even if i didnt seen!awesome!
Also solution for second puzzle is
Rh8
Kxh8
Rh1
Kg8
Rh8
Kxh8
Qh1
Kg8
Qh7
This might be my favorite puzzle of all time
3:10 why not Rxe3?
Black's stalemate tries near the end can be played in multiple move orders. For example, after white's 5.gxh8=B d4 6.Bxd4, instead of the suggested 6… Rb3, black could play 6… Rc3. (7.Bxc3 is stalemate). Play could then continue with 7.Be3 Rxe3 (or 7…Ra3) 8.e8=R Ra3 9.h8=B Rd3 10.Bh5 Rb3 11.Bg6 Rc3 and finally 12.Re1 ends black's stalemate tries.
Weird problem, in that the moves for black are much harder to find than those for white.
… was indeed difficult for me ! Thanks !
Rook h1 to h8 check and king to takes h8 rook d4 to h1 check and rook h8 check and again king takes h8 and queen c1 to h1 check and queen h7 check mate
winner white 👌
My answer
h8x
Rh8x
Ra7+
Kb8
c7+
Kc8
Be6+
The main puzzle is very good. The beginning was easy, but I missed the stalemate ideas. The second one is easy.
3:08 – why can't black take the Bishop?
I love it!!!!! Best freaking puzzle ever!!!!!!!!
In move no 8 after Be3 why not black will play R×e3
This is not a puzzle black could always have steal mat and steal mat is 60% win for black
4:20 X3 check with Rook then queen come and mate 😀
Do the chess engines get this puzzle right? I love the chess engines do puzzles videos the best.
Rh8 kxh8. Rh1 kg8. Rh8 kxh8. Qh1 kg8. Qh7#
Rh8+ Kxh8 Rh1+ Kg8 Rh8+ Kxh8 Qh1+ Kg8 Qh7#
Incredible puzzle, Suren
Incredible puzzle, Suren
The answer of the first puzzel : Ra7+ kb8 ra8+ kxa8 b7+ ka7 bxa7= N+ ka6 gxh8= B d4 bxd4 rc3 if Bxc3 stalemate so on rc3 white cannot capture the rook so be3 on rxe3 e8=r if on be3 black plays ra3 again then h8= bishop and this is a winning position for white
This puzzel was difficult for me but after 5 -10 minutes I found the answer.
The answer of the second puzzel : rh8 + kxh8 rh1+ kg8 rh8+ kxh8 Qh1+ kg8 Qh7#
I find it
Why not capture bishop at 3:11?
2:28 If you do not have your a5 pawn it will be a checkmate.
Rh8+ KxR 2.Rh1+ Kg8 3. Rh8+ KxR 4.Qh1+Kg8 5.Qh7+ mate
