[@praveenanookala4457]

Answer to puzzle 1. Qd6+!! The king has to capture the queen or black loses its rook, therefore ....Kxd6 White plays 2. Bxc3+ winning a bishop and it is a discovered check to the king by the rook. (Black's queen cannot capture the bishop as it's king is in check) After the king escapes to any square ....Ke6 , then white simply captures the queen on A5 with the bishop 3. Bxa5 ! White will be left with an extra bishop ( +3 points )

[@kurtzipagan6704]

Sure white keeps his bishop pair but in the first place,black have extra piece so when this puzzle is solved,white manage to equalized the game and keep its bishop pair.

I decided to watch this video and took note of SWOT right before playing chess with my brother, and I checkmated him for the first time!

[@chho75]

In the puzzle at the end, Qd6+ is the best move. If the Black King takes the White Queen, then Bxc3 is a discovered check because of the Rook on d1. After the Black King moves, Bxa5. The end result would be a Queen trade and a free Bishop for White. On the other hand if the Black King does not take the Queen after Qd6+, White can take the Black Rook on b8 for free.

[@xenia3143]

I thought White queen to D5, black cannot take the queen without losing it’s own queen. White queen can take the black pawn after, it’s check mate. Black has to move the king. Then the white queen can take the rook

I just stared playing chess. I’m up early in the dining room watching this. I just evaluated this move I made. Strengths, Im comfortable on the couch, my wife isn’t bothered any more by me making noise in bed. Weakness, there are some dishes to be done, I’m hungry. Threats, if my wife realize how much time I’m playing chess and ignoring the dishes, that could be a problem, if I make my self some thing to eat and forget her, that could be a problem. Solution, take five minutes to do the dishes, make us both breakfast. Reward, play chess for along time, and get lucky. Thanks chess talk, you saved the day.

[@omarkrekeshtv6162]

8:36 what a great advice. Not just in chess but in real life as well.

[@ivanganic3984]

Puzzle answer 10:11: white have huge advantage here...Best is white queen D-6 give attacking king on E-3 and figure on B-8 same time...if he take queen, you take d-2 to c3, making suprise attacking king again with D-1figure , he need to move king or defend with queen(is same result on the end), you take qeen. so he lost bishop and queen, you lost only queen what is good trade and best what can black take...if he not take queen he gonna lose rook on B8 for free and lose chance to win game.If is black move he have check-mate in two moves, just take bishop c-3 to d-2 forcing rook to take bishop, than black rook play B-8 to B-1.

Especially the one at 8:00 was very useful. My 660 rapid mind didn't even see the opportunity of Bishop taking the black pawn with a check.
