[@TheAnshuman1974]

Puzzle: Re2 is the winning move! 1. If Rxe2, then Qxc3 wins the queen against the rook. 2. If Qxf6, then Rxe1+ Kh2 gxf6 wins the queen and rook against the queen. 3. If Qa1 trying to support the back rank, then Qxf2+ Kh1 or Kh2 Qxg2#.

[@Axiomatic75]

Rook e2 wins

[@albertdeckel9429]

Thank you for this excellent lesson. Solutions to puzzle: Good solutions: 1) ... Re2, 2. RxR QxQ (black wins Queen vs white wins rook) 2) ... Re2, 2. QxQ, RxR +, 3. Kh2 g7xQ (black wins Queen and Rook vs white wins Queen) 3) ... Re2, 2. Qe3, RxQ , 3. RxR (black wins Queen vs white wins rook) not as good solution 4) ... Re2, 2. Qa1, QxQ, 3. RxQ Rxc7 (black wins Queen vs white wins rook)

[@zetacrucis681]

for 4) Qxf2 instead of QxQ leads to mate

[@frithjofspeetjens2818]

What about: ...Re2, 2. Qa1? --> QxQ 3, RxQ or RxR, 3. QxR Looks even to me...

[@robertorandle9397]

Thank you for all your help. I am a novice but you explain concepts. I am older and not able to memorize complicated traps and such. But your overall attacking strategy has really helped me a lot. I just won my first game against a rated player. Even when I made a blunder I kept up the attack when before I would resign. I am focusing more on my plan of action rather than being passive. Thanks again!

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

Great to hear, Robert. Good luck with your attacking chess games.

[@kalistadrake5226]

Can you teach us anything about the Giouco Pianissimo from white's point of view ?

[@crism777]

That's all well and good, but a very complicated trap, most games when you try something like this the opponent rarely makes the moves needed to implement the strategy, leaving you out of position

[@Dessan01]

That’s why it’s always a poor idea to try and memorise cheap traps - if you want to improve you are better off deciding on an opening, sticking to it and learning it. Work on your endgames too. But in all honesty if you are a novice player just playing a lot and not worrying about any of this will be all it takes to see your game go to the next level.

[@ghosal6557]

Sometimes within an hour I get 100+ elo. Next time when I play it comes back to the previous level. 😁

[@hanyshawky1467]

4:46 I wouldn't play ng6. Nf5 was the way to go attacking this annoying pawn twice by the two knights and there would be no way that white could defend it.

[@jmcamposano1999]

Great

[@nikablagidze955]

Rook to e2 is the best

[@hazemelkady9087]

d5 to d4?

[@frankbeerbaum5593]

Re2!! and if White takes the Rook Rxe2, then Qxc3. If Qxf6, then Rxe1#

[@edlawrence5059]

How is it mate? The black King can escape to h2.

[@gregoryd1074]

It's not mate, but it'll be a queen playing against a rook should be easy mop up.

[@cikonianiggra1415]

My temporary aim to be better in chess is to see all your videos /probably without attending your free courses in the chess - for me it would be another expenditure of time/. How many videos have you produced? Thank you for your valuable work.

[@cutl00senc]

After white plays Qe8 check, black has Kh-f8 blocking. After white plays Ke-f7 check, black can move King to H7. So the game is not really over.

[@malcolmirwin5641]

But wouldn't knight go to g6 instead of f7 Check mate

Wow

[@vigneshdevendran0312]

I think Re2 not such a great idea... We need to kick off the black queen from dark squares... I think d4 could do the trick... Qc4+ could be only thing white could do... so simply we just move our king to dark squares like f8 or h8... even if he plays & exchange rooks, we could have an equal endgame

[@ems3832]

...Re2! IS a great idea. It's the best move, and it wins.

[@naklabtimothy2462]

d4

[@tiny4lurv]

Rook can almost move anywhere except on the e file except E8,3,or x1

[@pakemijoshua9068]

Re2 is the only winning move because white has the d2 square and we must take away that square for retreating. Re4, Re6, Re7 white will just play Qd2 and it's ok.

[@tiny4lurv]

@@pakemijoshua9068 OMG thank you!! I will give you a shout out when I get to the Candidates

[@valvennis]

Puzzle Re2..

[@toxic_subh.5921]

I don't find the best solution. I think the best move is D5he want. To safe his queen if queen goes D2 we simply captur rook queen capture rook and the position is equal.
