I’m kind of fascinated by all these sets. How many sets does Nelson have? What actually were those ghostly looking ones from last episode? Reminded me of the haunted house Laurel and Hardy.

A knight is really strong three squares away from a bishop on the edge of the board, but that only controls four of its escape squares. I've never seen it control so many squares just because the position of the king makes all those forks possible. That position was amazing.

For the puzzle at 3:45, I was trying Kf2 to lure the black king to h2 but the issue is both sides lose a tempo because of the check. I tried to find a win after g3+ Kf3 g2 b7 g8=Q b8=Q+ Kh8 but even though black is stuck in the corner there's no way to force mate. The key is that by playing Ke2 we force black to h2 without stepping on the f file.
@alekhinesgun99972 жыл бұрын
Kf2 also wins but for a different reason, if you play Kf2 Kh2 Kf3 Kh3 Kf4 Kh4 b4! g5 Ke3! And you’ve created a similar situation where you can either catch the pawn or you’ll eventually force the king back to h2 and create the same position

@crazypomp9272 жыл бұрын
In position 3 with the kings and one pawn each, playing Kf2 first does still win, but it takes a few extra moves. The line given by SF14 NNUE is: Kf2 Kh2 Kf3 Kh3 Kf4 Kh4 b4 g5+ Ke3! g4 b5 g3 b6 g2 Kf2 g1=Q+ Kxg1 then white queens and wins. After Ke3! if black at any point tries moving the king instead of pushing their pawn then black just loses a tempo and loses a couple moves sooner. For example, g5+ Ke3! g4 b5 g3 b6 Kh3 b7 g2 Kf2 and black can't queen because if they try Kh2 then b8=Q+. So yeah Kf2 first still works as long as after g5+ white avoids Kf3?? and plays Ke3!

4:10 oh i could find that fairly quickly, I played the wrong move first vs computer (no analyzation just play it out wrong first) to see what's going on in the position (inability to kick the black pawn with our king because he can just "follow" us, plus the pawn can check us with tempo - these were the 2 problems) and then Ithought about what if I lure the black king into the check position on h2 and stop my hunt there. Ofc without us getting into a check by the pawn. Thanks to the diagonal walk capability! To be fair I only thought about all that thanks to your other puzzle videos and 3 step processes and your puzzle run with explanations. I really appreciate your lowplayer-friendly videos. Also just nicely made. Thanks. edit: same for nr.2: I found the check as you revealed later and by that an unkickable knight and I only won vs the AI. Never had to play King to H1, hmm.

If the king is ahead of a pawn in the column A or H and he is mirrored by a black king on the knight column or if the black king is any way in the rectangle determined by the white king and the corner with the 2 adjacent columns then the white king is stuck and can't make way for the pawn to be promoted.

Here is a promotion hierarchy based on these puzzle videos I came up with: 1. Queen: most powerful piece. 90%+ promotions. Best to think of it as the default promotion and justify others in comparison. It’s only weaknesses are it cannot recreate the coverage of a Knight and needs at least two turns to recreate its movement, and it is the most likely promotion to stalemate your opponent in what otherwise would be a position with a chance to win. 2. Knight: vast majority of other promotions because of its unique movement. Look to use it to immediately threaten/stop/create checkmates/perpetual check/forks/forced trades/fortresses/defense that no other piece could accomplish. It is also the best piece for stalemating yourself. 3. Rook: Selected only when the additional coverage of a Queen creates an undesired stalemate threat, and there is nothing for a knight to do immediately. In this scenario, now the Rook becomes the default selection because it is better long term than a knight or bishop. 4.Only selected in the same circumstances as the rook, but with the additional condition that it stops/creates/threatens checkmates/defense of a piece or promotion square/forks that a Rook cannot. Definitely other people have had all of these ideas before me. At least the ones that are correct lol. I’m interested to hear other peoples input on this.

I thought there was another solution to the 2nd one: 1. Kf2 Kh2 2. Kf3 Kh3 3. Kf4 Kh4 4. Kf5 Kh5 5. b4 (because at this point, if we both get queens, we can mate on the next move with Qh8). But that actually doesn't work because of 5. - g6+, forcing our king off the spot making mate possible, and once we've moved the king, both sides again get queens and it's a draw.
@kisslas2 жыл бұрын
Actually, no, that does work. After 5. ... g6+, we can go 6. Kf4. Black can't just do 6. ... g5+ because of 7. Kg3, and if 6. ... Kh4, they lose a tempo which wins us the game (7. b5 g5+ 8. Kf3 Kh3 9. b6 g4+ 10. Kf2 Kh2 11. b7 g3+ 12. Kf3 g2 13. b8Q+ etc). The idea is sort of the same, the black king is forced to end up on h2 which means we promote with check and thus can prevent Black also promoting.

9:22 black King to B7 can force a draw

On the first one, doesn't Qf4 also lead to checkmate as well?

For the record, it HAS to specifically be a Knight to get the win in the last puzzle. As mentioned the Queen forces the stalemate with rook d7. But if you get a rook, black puts their rook in a7 and wins with checkmate. If you get a Bishop to counter a7, black moves their rook to d8 and YOU are stalemated and cannot move anything. Only the Knight wins the game, with the fork.

More hints pretty please. So, after the pause. (allowing a 2nd pause which others could skip). It's would be nice to half-solve it instead of getting the solution right away. It still gives the opportunity to fully solve it yourself for advanced users by finding it in the 1st pause. I try to apply all the information and guides you gave in other videos, such as chessmate patterns or step processes and can't really find the M2s myself. Feels unsatisfying when you can't find it yourself not even a bit. I also think that's how good riddle makers and teachers do it, they give small hints when the scholar is not getting close to an answer. As long as you care about those less gifted people - namely your viewers - that is. Which I know you do. Quite a nice channel in general by the way.

edit: I did find the solution at day2 and actually just after 1 minute of looking at it again. Rather unapparent indeed and the more beautiful.

I think I've watched too many of your videos. I saw that last one and thought it was easy and everything you said I thought to do. And im really bad at chess. I just love watching the games and saying how do they think of this stuff.
