The Horse’s Chess Puzzle – Episode 5
The guy on the horse be like: "look at my horse, my horse is amazing…" ๐ต
Loe this series
i love the concept of a horse that absolutely refuses to go anywhere until a chess puzzle is solved. "yah! yah…. ok fine, c3 Ba5 b4 and the bishop is trapped"
Next episode:
Bobby Fischer – man gives move suggestions for Ding Li Ren and Ian Nepomniachtchi
another great addition to the series!
The question should rather be: HOW IN THE FRICK did we end up in a Position were both Bishops stare each other at the same time not blundering one of them xD
6:46 What about Bf7?
Nice
wow
After Be2, black can move his White bishop to Bf7.
If we capture with our pawn, he capture with his king. If we move our pawn to g7, his king move to g8. And from there, what we can do ? I donโt see any move who isnโt ร draw end game
Actually got most of this one before the first move was shown. Well, at least till Kd7 which is kind of a logical move as the king's the only piece not doing anything. For a moment I thought the key move was Bh8!? to keep protecting the pawn from the front but that doesn't cut it. The criss-crossing bishops makes sense in hindsight. Four bishops and one pawn leads to a position like this, the game keeps amazing me every day.
Bobby Bo show the fisherman is too good
My horse is also a special horse. It travels in a W shape because it never takes Ls.
Bro thinks he is Bobby Fischer
Where did you find that map by the way? Did you draw it yourself or use an AI engine or something? The art is really nice.
Seems kinda cruel to be riding a horse that can understand chess
I got it
Why's would a horse not have a knight themed puzzle. Smh. Jk fun series
i found it๐
I'm not very good at endgame puzzles, it really felt like a draw to me.
What an absolute of a chess RPG
4:50 what if you go f7 with the bishop so the jing has to take then take the black bishop and the king has to take the black bishop ir go in front of the pawn.If it takes then simply you get a queen and win and if it goes in front of the pawn then you bring your king and win
Wow so good
This one was kind of a disappointingly easy one.

This series is like a bedtime story for chess prodigies ๐
I love these small stories
3:41 bat wat abaot protekting with bishop to h7?
Best series ๐
Where is that map from
5:57 why does Bd2 not work?
Love the story Iโm so invested ๐
I dreamed of you beating a 3300 rated 10 year old :/
White always can win.
Man the people in this universe really like chess.
Awsome
Delightfully silly, I don't know why the setting adds so much, but somehow it does.
I really like the bits of story added to these puzzles. It really makes me look forward to them.
First they were looking so hard but now im improved thank you
It's nice to see you back..
That's a pretty strange horse. All my cat does is flop down in the middle of the board and disrupt the pieces… I guess it's better than the legendary pigeon "playing chess" though…
This puzzle island lore is getting deep .
Love this series! Let's expore that map! (Bonus points if you can make the puzzle somehow match the location! Should be fun with Crystal caves!)
When he asked to see if we can figure out why Be2 is the winning move, I found out the reason and it was really fascinating to see that White found a checkmate without a pawn promotion.
This is 13 moves mate puzzle. Black King is a4 squares but checkmate to h8 squares.

You can win the game in a much easier way. If you take the bishop on g8, the king has to take it or else we take the other bishop and win. Then, we take the other bishop, and if the king doesn't take it, then we move the bishop to h6 to protect the pawn and we win. After the black king takes, we can move our king to d6, e5, and then f4 to reach our pawn before the black king takes it. After that, we can easily get a queen and win the game.

it must be very difficult for the fishermen to continue their journey now, as their newly acquired steed can only travel in L shapes
ะะฐะบ ะฝะฐะทัะฒะฐะตััั ัะพะปะธะบ?
But if you take the white bishop and then the black bishop, you can make it in time to defend the pawn. Black king ends up on g6 and white's on f4.
