The Solution to This Puzzle is Absolutely Gorgeous

[@thebattosai7814]

I just want to say I just crossed 1700, I am so happy I stayed with you all these years. Thank you for making me fall in love with chess and teaching me with your amazing videos

[@bjoernf73]

I just discovered the guy. But I just love these videos. The beauty of it...

[@Crow-k4v]

The first move i found out rf6 it was close but not the perfect thing 😂

[@Kat-dp4rh]

You forgot one important move! After 1. Rd6, if black plays 1... Bc8, you would think it's the same as 1... Ba8, 2. Rd8 and either 2... Kxd8 3. f8Q+, or 2... Kxf7 3. Rxc8, but no, it doesn't work because black has again the intermediate move 2... Ba6+ and then they can take the pawn next move, as their bishop is safe. Which is why, the correct move, which also works after 1... Ba8, is 2. f8Q+, then 2... Kxf8 3. Rd8+ is a fork, and we win the bishop

[@yoramshacharr]

Nice puzzle, but one small correction - Rd6 doesn’t put black in a zugzwang - White threatens Rd7+.

[@zehahaha2005]

When exactly are you talking about? After rook d6, u wanna move to rook d7+??

[@yoramshacharr]

@@zehahaha2005 Yes, I do. Rd7+ forks the king and bishop. The rook can’t be taken because the pawn promotes.

[@Kat-dp4rh]

Yep, whether black plays or not, they are losing

[@8_by_8_battleground]

What was wrong with Rf6 for the first move?

[@azharahmed6992]

I thought the same and is best

[@Kat-dp4rh]

If 1. Rf6, then 1... Kf8, and you can't do anything. While if 1. Rd6 Kf8, then 2. Rd8+, and if black plays 2... Kxf7, then 3. Rd7+ is a fork, and if black doesn't take the pawn, we queen next move.

[@cruelpirate78]

I saw Rf6 Kf8 Rd6 now Ke7 Rd7 wins (Kf7 of course loses to Rd7) but then bishop to the e or d file holds for black. Now I see we have to utilize Ke7's bad placement in the beginning. Great puzzle!

keep posting pls.

[@MPராஜவர்மன்]

You can tell every checkmates

[@jetsar3816]

eval bar says its king f2

[@affan_billy]

The move I found was Rf6

[@Isiah_stuart]

Guaranteed queen probably

[@HNImanshu]

KF6 will lead to endless spiral

[@emuschemre]

This is art

[@pannenkoeksus]

Why does Rf6 not work?

[@BigDBrian]

Kf8 and eventually bishop will reroute and capture on f7. The reason why Kf8 doesn't work for Rd6 immediately is because of Rd8+ threatening to queen and after Kxf7 there's Rd7+ fork. But by playing Rf6 Kf8 first, even if you go Rd7 now the bishop will move off the 7th rank and white has nothing.

[@SRgoonz]

I found Rd7 with the idea of Rd7+

[@JetKumar-it9rk]

Wth are these puzzles just mind blowing 😱

[@martinschranz2081]

Does rook to F6 also not win ?

[@shaan702]

That was my thought.

[@shaan702]

I think if we did his move(rook e6), the king could block the pawn and avoid the fork by going king f8. If we do rook f6 you have a better chance of winning with queen v bishop.

[@subdoggy-853]

rh7 first move?

[@chantalveillerette8534]

Ohohoh 😍 !!! il est beau 🥰 !!!

[@thebattosai7814]

I can just imagine gothamchess seeing this and screaming "THE ROOOOOKK!!!!!"

[@36kamele12]

What about Rf6?

[@chessbram23]

There is king f8 and there’s no way to make progress

[@emuschemre]

But black king can go f8.

[@Isiah_stuart]

Rook f6 no way he can stop the queen though right?

[@lolololololololololololo5854]

0:16 how about.. Rook f6?

[@Kat-dp4rh]

If 1. Rf6, then 1... Kf8, and you can't do anything. While if 1. Rd6 Kf8, then 2. Rd8+, and if black plays 2... Kxf7, then 3. Rd7+ is a fork, and if black doesn't take the pawn, we queen next move.

[@proplaypk]

Can somebody tell why can't we play Rook h8 Plz somebody give sequence I think we can play this move

[@shaan702]

King takes the pawn

[@shaan702]

Rook F6 is better imo. You sacrifice the rook and get the queen

[@JoseMorales-ro5ld]

Rd6

[@ironmiketeam4689]

Rook F6

[@Kat-dp4rh]

If 1. Rf6, then 1... Kf8, and you can't do anything. While if 1. Rd6 Kf8, then 2. Rd8+, and if black plays 2... Kxf7, then 3. Rd7+ is a fork, and if black doesn't take the pawn, we queen next move.

[@JoseMorales-ro5ld]

Rd6

[@RavensTheNextDynasty]

[@dirknash4113]

Beautiful

[@Darkfish16-dj7gm]

Hi chess lovers 🥰

[@jjakjjakjjakjjakjjak]

Can someone answer my question Rather than rd6 why not rf6 protects the pawn and they don’t stop promotion bc either they take the rook and you promote or they don’t and you queen

[@RandomGuy-bf8wq]

they can block the promotion square with their king
