Hmm I'm not exactly sure what you mean - not sure how Black wins one of my knights here

The correct answer

Yes! But then Black takes back with the e8 rook with mate

@@extravirginoliver what about pawn to e1? (also im a beginner im like 150elo)

@@dark_is_chad6569Naah you trolling us mate

@dark_is_chad6569 no worries! Good on you for starting your chess journey :) in chess pawns can only ever move forwards and since White's pawns start on the second rank it's not a legal move to move his pawns backwards to the first rank. To elaborate a bit on how pawns move, there are just a few things to remember: 1. Pawns begin on the second rank 2. Pawns move one square forward at a time 3. Except on each pawn's very first move it can choose to jump two squares so long as the square in front of it is not occupied 4. When an opponent's piece is diagonally adjacent to a pawn in its forward direction (e.g. if you have a White pawn on e4 and Black has a piece on either d5 or f5) the pawn is able to move diagonally to take (aka "capture") that piece (a pawn cannot capture by moving forward) 5. If one side moves a pawn two squares to a place where it is directly horizontally adjacent to the opposing sides pawn, the opposing side has the option (on this move only) to capture the pawn as if it had only moved one square forward instead - this is known as "en passant" (translation: in passing) 6. If a pawn moves all the way to the very last rank it has to be promoted to any piece (except a king or pawn) of that side's choosing (99% of the time a queen though on some occasions it makes sense to "underpromote" to another piece) It might seem like a lot to remember but that's just because it's hard to describe it in a purely textual format - I highly suggest watching some beginner RUclips videos (John Bartholomew is my go-to suggestion for beginners) or interactive lessons on either lichess.org or chess.com. Best of luck in your chess growth and feel free to let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks Alexi! I haven't played classical chess in over a decade so I had no expectations but I'm really happy with my performance :)

Thanks Aarush!

Thank you kind stranger

@@omeiga ahaha I just googled to see if this was a real thing and the AI suggested this: "Bermuda mate could refer to the mating display of Bermuda fireworms or a clothing line inspired by Bermuda."

hell nah lmao i play vrchat a lot and there's a dedicated chess world for it, 's how i fell back into playing chess more seriously, and i saw someone in a group call bermuda mates and general idea is the mate should form a triangle from the knight that moved from and to its new square connected with the two check lines, they named it after the bermuda triangle so i think it's cool and nifty :>

@omeiga no I actually love that I might have to steal it from you

do it man! it's all cool, if i run into ya on chess i'll make sure to give it all i got lol

Would have been cool too but I thought Nf6 double check and mate seemed more aesthetic haha

​@@extravirginoliver no pwan check mate is cooler because it's the weakest piece

I'll dedicate my next pawn checkmate to you 🫡

​@@Mhmh980iit's not a pawn checkmate e3 is hanging when you push d3. I mean it'll still be mate but not a pawn mate

@Jett-x8l if by he you mean me then the answer is usually no but this time yes 🤠

@ good job cuz I said take the queen

Happens to the best of us 🙈

I've been playing this lately -> ruclips.net/p/PLfP6i5T0-DkLXbx1xtfsVjbnH_Afbx-oK&si=WR3w8-8BbFPaNjgc but I'm putting together a playlist to get streaming licenses for so hopefully I'll have more of my own library in the near future!

You're absolutely right haha I just didn't see it 😂

Hi! I'm not a part of any team at the moment haha but open to trying it out :) might also create my own team once I have a large enough audience to warrant it!

Should've done that! That would have been so cool good find!

The hero we need but don't deserve

That also would've been cool! I just thought Bg8 looked like an aesthetic move 😂

What?

Whoops, my bad. This comment was supposed to be in another short. Damn, RUclips's getting drunk nowadays...

This might be my favorite comment ever - congrats on being my first pin 🤠

Thank you kindly 🤠

Thank you kindly 🤠

Would've probably lost on the spot if he had haha

@extravirginoliver 😂😂

Unfortunately Black can block with the pawn there but Rg8+! was pointed out by some other commenters because after Kxg8, Rg1# is mate! Super cool idea I didn't even consider

As pointed out by some other commenters, Rg8+! would have led to a pretty spectacular mate even though I didn't find it!

How???

​@balancemaster55 it's a double check so rook can't take, after king takes rg1 is mate

That's such a cool idea haha I was so focused on the windmill I didn't even consider it tbh

Thank you!

I was planning Rxe7 exd4 Rxd7 in that case! Although it's a moot point since some other commenters pointed out that I actually had mate with Rg8+!

I actually missed a really spectacular Rg8+! which would have led to mate after Kxg8 (forced since double check) and then Rg1# (I can't claim credit for this - some commenters on my RUclips Short pointed it out)

Damn you’re right. What’s your elo? How long did it take for you to find that?

@polpot9869 i saw that before Nd7, i'm actually quite surprised he missed it

@@lubietruskawki870 dude that's so cool I didn't even see this looking back at it

Rg8+ would have been so good haha I guess I was just excited I had a windmill but that would have been so much better

yeah rg8+ is probably the only winning move, cause taking on f7 isn't even a successful windmill right? Knight/bishop blocks, e pawn blocks as well, and at the end material will become equal (excluding some pawns)

Unfortunately all I could see at the time was the windmill but Rg8+ would have actually led to mate as pointed out by some other commenters!

Boom goes the dynamite 💥💥

That would have been so cool haha unfortunately once I saw the windmill it was all I could see 🙈

@@currentmood9568 all available on my channel if you click the play button above title of the video!

That’s how he removed blacks knight to get that situation in the first place. If he didn’t sac the knight he can’t capture g7 since the rook wouldn’t be protected by the bishop on d4

Yes! The sac combines two tactics - a fork and deflection. The fork is between the Black knight and rook because the pawn on g7 is pinned so it's not actually defending the knight and deflection refers to making your opponent move his piece from a certain square where it's performing a job. In this case the knight is blocking my bishop from g7 so by deflecting it I'm removing the shield around Black's king so I can take on g7 with check :)

@AarushZala Hey! Thanks for the comment :) for 1 I don't have a FIDE rating though I might work on it one day and for 2 I just thought it was a clever play on extra virgin olive oil haha

@@extravirginoliverWhat about highest online rating of all time? The name is just funny and unique. I personally like it very much.

@AarushZala Hahaha trust me I know the feeling I think my longest losing streak must have been something like 30 games or something when I was tilted
