There were a series of chess rules made in the 1800s. One was the instant pawn promotion. Before that, a promotion was the use of one turn. However, the rule stated, the player could promote to ANY piece. Then came a chess puzzle where the winning move was to promote to an opposite colored knight to block off the opponent's king in a discovered checkmate. To figure that out so quickly is how one becomes a chess god.

Great examples when to underpromote and how underpromotion can go wrong. I have seen otb that a player placed a pawn on the 8th rank without promoting it to something and pressed the clock too fast without placing a new piece. In that case the player will not choose but get a queen and the opponent will get 2 minutes because the other player made an illegal move.( a pawn can not be on the 8th rank at the end of the turn)

SUGGESTION FOR CONTENT: Don't we all love scientific experiments? I surely do. You could make a series of scientific experiments (one experiment per video), where you would invite people to play against each other without them knowing the rating of their opponent, or actually having their rating changed on purpose. The aim of this would be to assess how much influence knowing the rating actually has on the probability of winning. For example, does an IM play considerably better against a GM if they don't know against whom they are playing? Of course to answer such question you would have to invite many many people. There may be a more convenient way to set up the experiment. Unfortunately you couldn't be playing because you'd know (i.e., it needs to be a double-blind controlled experiment). P.S.: Sorry for the caps lock at the beginning. I just had this idea and I think it would be quite cool. No one doubts that there is a difference in skill very much correlated to the rating, but on the other hand the rating sometimes seems to have a psychological effect that makes things harder for the lower rated person (as you have described plenty of times).

There’s this awesome puzzle, I think it’s on Chess Vibes, where on each different king move by black you can only win by promoting to a different piece. The puzzle includes all of knight, bishop, rook, queen. It’s an incredible position (which’ll likely never happen in real games, but still). Love the examples here, very nice! 😍

I had a game once where I actually was able to promote to anything I want, rook and queen would have been mate with the promotion and bishop and knight would have been mate one move later. And the best thing is that my opponent couldnt do anything about it because he could only move his pawn on the other side of the board. I think if I would have promoted to a knight/bishop, he would have promoted as well but still couldnt do anything against mate. Unfortunately he resigned one move before I promoted my pawn... :/

Levi always manages to both educate and entertain, but I love it when he manages to surprise as well. I saw the first couple of bishop promotion games and thought, “If I ever get a situation to promote to a bishop, I am sure I won’t have the skill to see it, I would bungle it, guaranteed!”. Then he showed the Ray v Fabiano game. It’s beautiful because the idea is both brilliant and simple at the same time.

You actually should have a forced mate in the Andersen-Hjartarson game after promoting to the bishop with Bg6+, forcing either Kg8 or Kh8 into Rd8+ which forces Qe8 and then Re8#, or it forces queen takes bishop on g6 followed by pawn takes queen which forces the king onto the back rank again because the pawn is protected by the knight, and Rd8 is just a mate.

When I was younger we would always play so you could only promote to one of your pieces that had previously been captured. (even after we knew that wasn't the official rule) It's only recently that I found out that some people in Europe were using that as their 'default' version of the rules before there was a near-universal "official" one. I still think that's a good way to play chess, even if it sometimes makes strategies a little screwy.

you know why i watch your videos, besides the inflections, funny jokes, compelling material presented, energy? - your NYer attitude including the language, the accent, the gesticulations. i miss that when i used to be in the States. as far as i'm concerned, you are a GM for loving the game so much and making it available to us all. thank you and all the best!

Not long after Fabi promoted to a bishop, I was playing a quick rated tournament and had the same scenario. I promoted to a bishop with check and my opponent, who was maybe 8 or 9 asked me during the game if I meant to promote to a bishop.

9:23 I would've moved g5+. Rook is guarding the pawn, so the king can't take it and the rook can't take the pawn either because it's pinned by the other rook.

20:10 I read online that there are no positions where a bishop promotion is the only winning move. So I looked over this Andersen vs. Hjartson sequence again, and I thought I found a loophole. I thought, "Wait, why can't the king move to f8 after the queen sacrifice (Qf7+ followed by Nxf7 and exf7+)? It turns out, white can follow up with Ng6+, checking the king and forcing black to lose his queen. Then I looked again: "Is Nxf7 the only defense against white's queen attack?" The answer was yes - if the king moves to any of the h-file squares, it's mate in one for white. So that loophole backfired too. If white promotes to a knight and follows up with Nf6+, forking the queen and king, the pawn can just take the knight. That leaves only one other option: White would have to promote to a rook, and somehow beat black's queen with his knight and rook. And I don't know if that's possible without black making blunders. So... are those sources wrong after all? There really are positions where you have to make a bishop? And I just wasted over a half hour re-analyzing a chess sequence for nothing?

Yes, Levy, your videos are compelling, which is why we keep returning. I have played two games where I have trapped my opponent's King on one edge of the board, and if I was to promote a Pawn to a Queen, it would have been a stalemate. I did not want this to happen, so I promoted to a Rook in both games, and won them. I have never promoted to a Knight or Bishop before, and I hope to do so now that I have watched this video.

At the very beginning of the video, I was saying there might be a situation for every promotion except for the bishop. But that Bishop promotion just blew my mind over.

19:17 actually at first glance I thought that promoting to a knight wins to because knight is almost trappes but when I tried to beat stockfish in this position there were always stal mate tricks, meaning that instead of 3 moves i takes you 30 to win knight6

Well there's one very common situation, which wasn't mentioned in this video, but well known in quite many tactics - pawn and King vs Rook and Kings, when promoting to a queen leads to immediate checkmate, and the only one saving move is promoting to a knight with check. Smth like this PGN positiom: 4K3/5P2/4k3/r7/8/8/8/8 . And I had this situation in live rapid game, and I was quite happy to finish the game with two new things in my chess career - underpromoting, and calling the arbiter for move count. And holding this, of course, even if this wasn't very easy :)
