For the first puzzle, what the comment in the video missed is that this is a Zugzwang theme. Blocking the g-file is not the point of Qg7, since the g-file is already blocked in the starting position; moreover Qg7 does not directly threaten any mate: g5 is (still) defended by the knight, Qg4 leaves h6 as escape, and Qxh8 leaves g6. However: * taking the pawn gives a checkmate on g4 by Q or B as the video shows * any other knight move gives Qg5 (taking the knight if it went there) mate * rook move on rank 8 gives Qh7 mate, and Rh7 similarly Qxh7 mate * finally Rh6 allows Qg4 mate. Actually quite nice

If you move the rook (anywhere), it's still mate in two. Here's how: 1.Qg7, Rg8 2.Qh7# 1.Qg7, Rh7 2.Qxh7# 1.Qg7, Rh6 2.Qg4#

Black can try try to interrupt mate in 2 with R-G8 or R-h7 But Q-h7+ or Qxh7+ does the trick

I did not watch the full video but here's my answer . . . White to move 1. Qg7 (Key move) Queen is able to lock G file and h6 square which makes only move for king to capture the pawn and 2. Qg4#. But if the opponent doesn't move the king here are the following scenarios...... 1st scenario Moving the rook horizontal in any squares or 1.....Rh7 This will lead to 2. Qh7# (or 2. Qxh7# if 1.....Rh7) 2nd scenario 1......Rh6 , This will lead to .... 2. Qg4# 3rd scenario Moving the knight any direction (except for 1......Nxh4) This will lead to 2. Qg5# (or 2. Qxg5# if 1.....Ng5) 4th scenario 1....Nxh4 , This will lead to ..... 2. Bg4# My answer is based on my observation, hope you like it

Nxh4 then 2. Bg4# If 1. ... Rg6 then 2. Qg4# If 1. ... Ng5 then 2. Qxh8# Any other Knight move loses to 2. Qg5# and any other Rook move (including 1. ... Rg8 or Rh7) loses to 2. Qh7# Hope that helps.

@lexsoft39694 жыл бұрын
Seeing such pawn positions in 2nd puzzle, an experienced chess puzzle solver will immediately think that the solution is pawn promotion which won't make a stalemate for black. So either promotion to a knight or bishop. For this case it's promotion to a knight. There are other puzzles that I have seen which involve two consecutive pawn promotions to different pieces such as : knight followed by bishop or vice versa or combination of promotions to rook/knight/bishop. Usually those are found in 3 or 4 moves puzzles which therefore are more difficult.

In first puzzle, what about Black's moving his knight to G5 to block the queen and give his king the (temporary) escape square of H4? Queen can't then take the knight, must work around it for her next move. I can't see a way for White to mate in one more move; Black's king would be on a black square, so bishop would be useless; and I can't see any way for White's queen to check Black's king that the king cannot escape for at least one more move. I don't think you've shown us the correct solution yet--if there even is one.

Can somebody help me with this chess problem?? Seven figures join the white queen, who waits, facing the board. The black queen, the black rook, and the white pawn stand on one side of the board. The white bishop, the white rook, and the black bishop stand opposite. The black rook stands to the immediate right of the white king and directly across from the white bishop. The white pawn stands directly across from the white rook and to the white queen's immediate left. The black queen, white pawn, white king, and black rook leave the board first, each one following the other.. The answer is a 4 letter word. There is this drawing too with a black rectangle with the white queen been on left side of rectangle and with 3 lines across the top of rectangle. First line has letter A on top then second line has the C on top and then the third line has the E on top.. Then, on bottom of rectangle there are another 3 lines across the bottom of rectangle. One line has letter B, second line letter D and third line letter F. and on opposite side of rectangle across from white queen is another line with letter G on it . I think I gotta use this as a clue to unscramble the 4 letter word. I used my chess board to tried to unscramble it by placing chess pieces just like the instructions said but iam confused about the drawing and the last part of the clues

@@PatrickFestaPatman No, it is required to avoid double solution. Suppose there is no pawn at a7, then Ka7 will be a solution too, an ordinary one. So the pawn is placed there in order to result in a single solution, i.e b8 promoted to a knight which is impressive.

First problem composed by L B Salkind, published in Deutsche Schachzeitung 1907. Full solution is: 1 Qg7! ( ) R~ ; 2 Qh7 # Rh6 ; 2 Qg4 # N~ ; 2 Qg5 # Nxh4 ; 2 Bg4 # Kxh4 ; 2 Qg4 # (The symbol ~ means 'makes any random move at all'. The hashtag is used to show checkmate. Empty brackets means 'no threat is made, White is simply waiting for Black to make any move). This is a neat block problem in which the bN and bR each make a self-blocking correction move (Nxh4 and Rh6). 1 Qg7! is the ONLY solution (the key), and those who thought they had another key should look again more carefully. Those who thought that 1 ... Ng5 prevented mate (!?) note that 2 Qg5 # means white Queen goes to g5 CAPTURiNG the knight if it has gone there!! Second problem was composed by the great British problemist T R Dawson and published in Chess Amateur in 1920. 1 b8=N! ( ) Kxe8 ; 2 Qg8 #. (Set-play: 1 ... Kxe8 ; 2 b8=Q #) The whole point of this one-line problem is that it is a complete block. In the diagram position, if it were Black to play, he would have to play king takes knight, when White would mate by b-pawn promotes to queen (or rook). This is known as set-play. However White cannot make any simple waiting moves which would simply allow that line of play to happen. So the 'set mate' 2 b8=Q is changed to an immediate under-promotion and leads to a 'changed mate'. This is simple and neat example of a 'mutate'. I think Patrick may have a copy of Colin Russ's excellent book Miniature Chess Problems from Many Countries (?) which is a brilliant collection of light-weight chess problems.

A more elegant solution is queen takes rook at H8, black king moves G6 since thats the only option, and then pawn moves H5 which is checkmate. This is better since black has only one possible move of king G6, as compared to multiple choices in the solution provided. Thanks!

You can not checkmate in h5 coz the king down to g5 haha.
