We are looking at a odd position but if we play it right as white it's winning. How?

It always takes me about 10 seconds to solve it. It always takes you about 5 seconds to point out my dumb mistake that would instantly result in black winning.

Very cool puzzle. Saw it partly, the ending surprised me.

Naturally, not to disappoint, I fell into the stalemate trap.

This is just brilliant as always. Not only we are learning to solve puzzles but it also helps in improving our own chess, tactics, etc. Thank you very much.

Very interesting puzzle. Combination of the four standard situations, so beautiful! Many thanks, huge respect for the full and comlex analysis!

Only saw it as far as getting our queen and decided that was job done. Didn't realise the stalemate issue.

I've seen this puzzle before on a different channel. After a bit of thought I remembered the stalemate trap and the need to promote to a bishop. Very nice puzzle with the unusual ending.

I solved it, but didn't notice the need for an Underpromition until the game developed. Once we got that far I saw the stalemate trap and the need to get a bishop.

Awesome👌

@disasterpiece7583 Ай бұрын

i'm proud of having seen the move d5 and underpromotion immediately. Great puzzle!

@giovannicorno1247 Ай бұрын

I guessed the first move but missed the simple d5, I went directly to take the rook and did not see the way to victory😶‍🌫️😏

Is it weird to say that I love this guys voice and accent?

@petervanvelzen1950 Ай бұрын

I didn't see the stalemate, but I did see a Bishop was winning.

@lennyvlaminov9480 Ай бұрын

To hard for me to solve but what a lovely puzzle! Would never see the promotion to a bishop from the starting position (only a 1800 player).

@plamenjelev8238 Ай бұрын

RC8 only move to take pawn to B7 he goes B8 with the king then we push the other pawn to d5 he is out of moves except Kc7 then we take the rook and promote to a rook cuz its a draw if we promote to a queen

@Adam-pu6jg Ай бұрын

Promoting to a rook is also a stalemate! You can only promote to a bishop.
