    To trap the bishop on a wide-open board with only king and rook is fascinating to me. In 5 lifetimes I would not have found that. Those who did are on an entirely different level than I, and they have my admiration.

      I saw the first move but didn’t see the 2nd one right away and the problem it caused the bishop. Was a nice one. Whether or not any of us ever encounter that position is debatable, and more than likely not.

    Excellent puzzle as always. Although its not easy but it needs some tactical thinking here. Just playing casually will not win this and you explained it in detail as always. I love your puzzles because you give a clear explanation on how our thought process should be. That is a great learning. Thank you very much.

    very nice. small addition: rook and king have to cover bishop moves along h2-b8 AND e1-h4 diagonals, in particular rook must cover d6 e5 AND e1; incredible that rook and king can cover 10 squares along two diagonals.

    I think if the King doesn't take the Knight there is still a good chance of trapping the bishop with Knight to g6, but I got lost eventually with all of the possibilities. Thanks for the enjoyable puzzle. I like the mix of two/three movers with the odd "you can win/save this" puzzles. Just like you have it.

      F5 is a white square so that is an impossible move. If you meant e5 the rook captures it. If you meant f4 the king captures it. Either way, we don't mind losing the knight to get the bishop.

  • @Dichotious
    @Dichotious 6 дней назад

    At 1:23 the easiest way to get out of that check, as far as I can tell, would be for black's king to move diagonally, then, regardless of where white's rook moves, there's still room for black to outmaneuver white; the kings are on opposite sides of the board, so there's not too much worry about black being boxed in. Plus, black still has their bishop to attack

    • @SkyYerim
      @SkyYerim 5 дней назад +1

      Well... Rooks will go to B8 and take the bishop. So, where the white's rook move after the black king's move matters a lot actually. Of course, white can decide to not take the bishop but why would they?

    • @Dichotious
      @Dichotious 5 дней назад

      ​@@SkyYerim Very true. Rook can easily take Bishop, but I still believe that my point still stands; as long as black is able to get out of check, there is a possibility for black to win this game

    • @SkyYerim
      @SkyYerim 5 дней назад +2

      @@Dichotious And you are wrong. King and rook against king alone win all the time, that's a very well known end game. The only hope for black at that point is a draw by stale mate but he will never win because a king alone can never take the other king. So black loses the game at the very moment he loses the bishop.

    • @flightyavian
      @flightyavian 3 часа назад

      Not only that, I would add on that checkmate with a king and rook is rather trivial. Maybe it could be possible to mess up on low time but that's not here. And even then, it's a draw at worst for white.
