Dude how do I know if black is going up or down the board
What happens if black moved their room from B4 to B2 when we play KE4?
3:34 what if black doesn't check and opens and escape with the rook?
I has hoped you would say a bit more on why white has to capture black's bishop on a6. I suppose this is also revealed only later in the calculation (e.g. 4:24) where it would be detrimental to allow black another check on white's king.
Amazing puzzle. Can anyone show how to get 7 pawns on one side? Or prove that you can't?
I now know what to do if I ever find myself in this situation
1. Nf4+ Kc5 2. Ne6+ Kd5 3. Nxc7+ Kc5 4. Nxa6+ Kd5 5. Nc7+ Kc5 6. Ne6+ Kd5 7. Nf4+ Kc5 8. Ke4 d5+ 9. Ke5 Bf6+ 10. Ke6 Nd8+ 11. Kd7 [any move] 12. Nxd3# (or Nd3# if 11. … d2)
My first calculation was the same except I didn't take the bishop on a6 after capturing the queen. However, I discovered that if we follow the same idea 6. Kd3 d5+ 7. Ke5 Bf6+ 8. Nd8+ 9. Ke6 there is 9. … Bc8+!! which saves black.
You will never, 'till the heat death of the universe, reach this in a real game
dont take the bishop, an u are faster 😉
why so many dislikes ? 125
This is why I never play the Sicilian
damn i literally got the idea instantly. that was nice.
2:05 why not king E4 then knight E6 or E5?
For the first time in my life I solved the puzzle from the Thumbnail and I'm pretty proud
WIIIILLLLLDDDDDDDDDZ
Wha happens is black plays pawn – D2 after King E4?
Wow
Easy, fork fork fork and fork
Easy, fork fork fork and fork
Cool video. It would have been nice if you said what way the pawns move before you ask us to pause and try to solve it though. Not everyone remembers who starts on 1/2 and who starts on 7/8
(But I probably still would never solve something like this anyway)
I thought I could skip NxBa6 but then I saw that move can't be skipped. If black later plays Nd8+, the bishop escapes and plays Bc3+, if KxBc8 the black king escapes, if Kc7 black plays Ne6+ then if NxNe6+ BxNe6 or Kb7 and the white king no longer traps the black king.
NxP would let the king escape, also on Ne6+ also ✔️ the square d4, the black knight can simply capture on e6.
I’m very proud of myself, I was able to see all the moves ahead of time. Now if I could just trick my opponents into reaching this position…
Why capture the bishop?
Pretty easy for what the title made it out to be. Lol.

Is the capture of the bishop on A6 necessary?
I'm glad I actually solved this one! I didn't see why taking the bishop was necessary though, so there's always room for me to plan further ahead! I'm getting better at these videos after just finding your channel a couple days ago.
I am so INSANELY bad at chess that i always make the bad moves and in a lot of these puzzles it is the right move even if it is counter intuitive.
"Final checkmate" YO IS THE WHITE KING THE SHOTGUN KING?
up to 2:45 is obvious, and then its not that hard to find how to checkmate since you will notice that the white king can block blacks king eventually
I saw the basic idea and the line up to where the Knight takes the bishop (which I didn't do). I don't think it's necessary, because after Kd7, the game could continue with … Bc8+ 11. Kc7 Ne6+ 12. Nxe6 mate! Unless, of course, I'm missing something …
This has now happened to me twice and I wasn't able to figure out what to do here…
Puzzles like this show the power the knight has if played effectively.
Bruh I’ve seen one of ottos puzzles that was forced mate in 290
