This Puzzle Is Older Than My Grandpa

[@prestonotes]

You forgot to mention the author of this superb study : Hermann Neustadtl, composition from 1897 published in "Deutsches Wochenschach".

[@BernardWKobes]

Thank you. It is unethical to post serious chess compositions on KZbin without crediting the author.

[@Adam-pu6jg]

I think us people can appreciate this puzzle but I'm pretty sure the bishop doesn't appreciate being sacrificed 😂

[@chessoeht]

I guess it's important to say that on 7:51 black do has a way to prevent white from queening immediately by playing Rh6+ and then Rh8 but white still wins because of d6

[@kzkaa.]

Rh6+ isn't a legal move in that timestamp

[@johnwoo2016]

4:50 Rook can just ignore the Bishop sacrifice and just Check the King on A2. On Black’s following move, they can move Rook to E2.

[@GDFel1pe]

I think that the solution is the next: 9:05

[@johnwoo2016]

@@GDFel1pe Arr yes similar. But after thinking over the board positions: Moving the Rook, to Check the King on A2, doesn’t save Black’s fate. If the Rook next went E2 , to threaten the Pawn; White could just move D5 to D6. The only difference is White would still be in the winning position…..and with a Bishop as well. 😅

[@GDFel1pe]

@@johnwoo2016 with those plays, Black is only delaying its inevitable fate (Translated by Google Translator because my English is basic (sorry ☹)) (I don't know if the translation is well written. Correct me if you notice any writting errors to improve (And yes, this is also traslated by Google Traslator))

[@johnwoo2016]

@@GDFel1pe Yes, thank you. I replied to GDFel1pe above; stating that White would end up in the same place, plus retain their Bishop.

[@sol_mental]

Real nice sacrifices! Absolutely wouldn't think of that myself for like a loooong shot

[@abisakthi6858]

Bro as per your variation after the sacrifice of bishop to the pawn,then white pawn moves to e7, I excepted you also tell the variation of giving check by rook in h file and moving to h8 to prevent the promotion happens in e-file, but there also two pawns were acrossed 6th rank so the plan fails with another variation of rook to a8

[@hcgreier6037]

Nice puzzle! What a brave Legolas this is. Sacrifice you must! 🤗

[@andrewbennett5911]

Fabulous puzzle ! Many thanks

[@nathanaelstricker9056]

The very first thought that came to mind was pushing the right side pawn forward. Black’s pawn blocks the rook, and then you have your bishop for protecting your pawn until it reach the back row.

[@TyrantSupremoDark]

Ive learnt so much from videos like these. Thank you !

[@gaurangpilankar269]

I knew the idea but didn't know there were so many moves to win!!!!

[@chessnoob4461]

White can force the promotion of one of his pawns: 1.e6 ch Ka2 2. Be5!!(If black takes then white has 2 connected passed pawns versus the rook) so Black should move his rook to his first rank 2...R a8! Then 3 Bxd6 and white still has 2 connected passed pawns versus the rook. When white gets a queen it becomes merely a matter of technique for the queen to win the game for white.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

This is the original ‘he sacks the Rooook only it’s a Bishop instead

[@amireyvazi9251]

Beautiful puzzle.

[@aramisscabott6747]

I would have loved to see the beglected variant of Row a8 inmediately after the beshop captures instead of advancing the king and how would that play out.

[@crowreligion]

[@ChiefBeef7]

Just saw this yesterday, then in a game today I had almost this EXACT situation come up! Sacrificed the bishop, got a queen eventually and won. I couldn't believe it!

[@jomo87]

Having never (to my knowledge) encountered it before, I literally just won an endgame using the sixth rank trick! I decided to give up my rook for an enemy pawn threatening to promote, leaving me down three points of material (two pawns vs a rook), but I could see I'd be able to get both pawns safely to the sixth rank... So thank you, Nelson!

[@GabrielL-r8z]

[@وسامباكير-ز2ه]

please nelson have a look at the game between salem saleh vs fedoseev in SHARIJA masters, GREAT ONE indeed

[@k0u0s0h0a0g0r0a0]

7:40 It won't take time because rook and king are in the same line.

[@limonlx7182]

You would be correct if you were the only one making moves, but no, that's not how chess works, it's black's turn and black can just move either rook or king out of the way. And even if it was white's turn, pinning the rook to the king wouldn't achieve much, since black can just move the king towards the rook and protect it.

[@Mr-someone-on]

Good luck Nelson

[@Surreal_Wizard]

Black wins, easily, because 1) The rook stops white pawns from promoting, 2) The rook easily picks off White pawns, and 3) Rook vs Bishop is a draw at the very least, more often a victory for the rook side.

[@uduehdjztyfjrdjciv2160]

For me it was obvious from start you have to move pawn, not take pawn or other move

[@jetlee44]

[@mncdssctn9110]

By method of probability, white wins. First of all, their pawns are going up which is a telltale sign, and also because as you’ve said yourself, about 99% of all composed puzzles is white to play and win 😂 Also, on a more serious note, I’ve seen enough puzzles to know that even though it’s tricky, it’s extremely rare for a rook to stop two connected pawns that far advanced especially if the one with the pawns can get support from a piece.

[@alwysrite]

Nice !

It is illegal to move the king into check. Just think of it like whose king is being captured first. If yours, then you lose; therefore, it is illegal.
