An AMAZING Study where White must give up 10 Pieces to win!

[@cjxchess17]

This video took me over 8 hours, so I would really appreciate it if you could subscribe :) A brilliant chess puzzle where white wins a rook and a queen with a single knight: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYSblYZqarSCsNE

The weird thing is that white could have took rook with bishop 10x over

[@sumedhshah7047]

Checkmate can also happen in one move. The white pawn on G4 must move to G5. The G file is protected by the Queen on G8, and the Pawn on H5 is protected by the rook on H3. Black's own pawn is on H7, but even if it wasn't the Queen on G8 is always present. By this, the King on H6 is checkmated. If there are any escape squares, you're welcome. Turns out the 8 hour editing and 7 minute video wasn't needed at all.

[@cjxchess17]

@@sumedhshah7047 White's king is in check the whole time until the end so G5 is not possible Other than if you commented this the 1st second you saw the video I don't understand how there is such confusion

I remember when someone got my king in a fortress, surrounded with my pawns, blocked by his pawns, there was a bishop, a rook, together, they made my king unable to move. Only my rook could move, and I remembered _sepuku stalemate_ tutorial, so I decided, that I CAN FORCE stalemate, by checking king with my rook. My opponent took it and it was a draw lmao.

True, though also this position would never appear in a grandmaster game as (a) black would have resigned ages ago due to the material disadvantage and (b) white would probably be too smart to get into this kind of desparado stalemate-or-perpetual-check scenario.

[@Zeraora_]

If I ever get in a situation like this, I'll probably re consider my life choices and accept a draw instead of being chased for an eternity.

[@zhiwui2114]

yeah this puzzle is too difficult to fully grasp every nuance

[@PHeMoX]

Actually, it is kind of simple though. The obvious mistake to make in this puzzle is wanting to capture the rook when it would result in stalemate instead of white winning, so you _have_ to go along with perpetual checks until you reach a position in which you force the rook to make some more space to prevent the stalemate ending. Not that hard to grasp, but much harder to see the solution when playing obviously.

[@MermaidTyrone]

@@PHeMoX Well you can see the general idea pretty easily but the small stuff like getting rid of the a2 pawn in order for you to not have to capture the rook after rb1 check like 50 moves beforehand is almost impossible to see.

[@VaoDxArchAngel]

@@PHeMoX It is not that simple because you have to avoid draw by repetition as well. It is such a sharp puzzle that needs the correct sacrifices at the correct time or else you run into perpetual pretty easily

[@levistepanian5341]

[@pure2291]

looks pretty doable. you probably wouldn’t get there on purpose but it isn’t impossible like some puzzles

[@SamuelPearlman]

Me with White: Ok, I'll settle for a draw.

[@Player-df7ny]

some people say its M106 for white, but the final position (pawn endgame) is not a win, just a winning position, so it takes some more moves for white to win. I checked with stockfish, and after Kc4 it's M13, so 106+13= M119

[@botran8714]

Does anyone feel as annoyed as me when the Rook keep checking the King even there are so many pieces but all of them can not do anything to the Rook? :((

[@ethanl.1699]

Yup, the only piece that could have helped and avoided stalemate was the queen

[@UncleMerlin]

Immortal rook

[@gamenyte]

Dude its beyond me why that bishop couldnt just take the rook... I DONT FREAKIN KNOW

[@UncleMerlin]

@@gamenyte it would result in stalemate because the enemy king can't move. This is because in chess, your king *cannot* move into check. It is simply a rule. Therefore, with the pawns being blocked and unable to go forward and the black king being surrounded on all sides with no-go zones, the rook is the only thing that can be moved and thus the black rook cannot be captured if White wants to win.

[@AverageLowElo69]

@@UncleMerlin that’s what I’m wondering though. How are the black pawns pinned?

[@misharatkevich9808]

The amazing thing is that the initial position doesn't even look that hugely contrived, aside from white's _huge_ material advantage. The pieces are all in fairly natural spots, and even black's previous move (rook to b3) is a natural attempt to force stalemate... holy shit, what a whirlwind.

So grateful for the rook to encourage the king to exercise, ignoring the fact that the rook assassinated almost all of the king's pieces.

[@skyeez2461c]

Poor white king he must be suffering from PTSD after this game

[@PHeMoX]

It would be interesting to see an analysis of why the engine doesn't like certain rook checks ( for example 0:52 , why no e7 check?). I mean, black couldn't possibly win here, right? Or could it force the queen to e6 with the black king escaping stalemate position? White queen to e6 is both a check block and a check to black king. Seems like a potentially highly crucial move for black actually. There's a potential for the black king to capture quite a few pieces before white reaches a checkmate position. White would remain a heavy favourite all the way through. But it would not end in white having 1 pawn, a queen and two rooks vs black just one pawn in checkmate.

[@Alkuf100]

I saw all of that when I first saw the position. Basic stuff really its only like a hundret move main line with a few 20 move variations

[@cjxchess17]

I guess you are very talented at chess then. It took me a very long time to see why white needs to sacrifice both queenside pawns before sacrificing the bishop even after seeing the solution, and on my own I probably would never have realized that white needs to capture black's E-pawn in order to win.
