    Puzzle: D5 Knight to C7 (check), king moves to D8 (only move), knight takes rook A8, black queen checks C3, white queen takes C3, knight E6, Queen to A3, the rook defends king on E8, after sacrificing pieces, queen checkmates. (I’m sure there is a faster way but that’s what I instantly grabbed towards. Solved in about 20 seconds.
    Not sure why, but there’s something about the kings gambit that I just love. It’s very unorthodox end, you can always tell if a middle game or end game started with this opening.
    For some reason when I play kings gambit I always completely control the board even against strong opponents. It’s very easy moves to understand, gets strait to the point and is definitely an opening for intuition based players due to the fast aggression. My best games where I completely dominate were from the kings gambit. Idk it’s like when I play this opening I feel right at home, this is the ancient way of chess after all.
    My strongest opponent that I absolutely crushed with this opening was from a very rare line in the kings gambit where I allow my knight to be captured by the pawn in the beginning, I castle, get checked and then have a massive attack when I move my king to H1. This opening uses blacks pawn as protection for my king. Found this opening from intuition and turned out to be a real Murphy game. My opponent was rated 2100 IM, beat him in 16 moves.

    There are about a dozen ways to checkmate in this position but the quickest (M2) is rf8, rxf8, nxc7#. You remove the rook from the queen's line of sight on the d8 square by moving the rook in for a check, then ending the game with the knight.

  • @STEVE_K_J
    @STEVE_K_J Год назад

    Hey, absolutely love your videos. For trap #1, the move Nh6 by black does actually defend the threat I believe, because after white plays d4, black can play d6 which attacks the knight. The knight cant attack the f7 pawn straight away. Therefore, after Bxh6, black plays dxe5 and the attack is over.

    • @philosopher24680
      @philosopher24680 Год назад

      According to the engine White is still winning and it's quite easy for Black to get checkmated. The counter-intuitive follow up is to trade the dark squared bishops, then check the King when he takes back. After this, lock up the Black Queen by playing the White King to F2.

  • @raphaelhudson
    @raphaelhudson 2 года назад +21

    The declined trap is quite useful as that situation is very common in many kg lines . I very rarely get people playing into the McDonnell gambit or muzio sadly. It's hard to lose in blitz if you get that position for white. But what does happen a lot at lower levels is that black plays f6 defending g5. You have to be careful as tempo matters here, but in many lines Nxg5 leads to either forced checkmate or a big material advantages

    1. Qh5+, Qg6 2. Rxg6… quite obvious but let’s say they don’t take and they make any other move except d6, then Rg8# (2x Check). If it goes 2. Rxg6, d6 3. Rg7+, Kd8 4. Qg5+, Ke8 5. Qe7#…

  • @jaycarrillo3915
    @jaycarrillo3915 2 года назад +3

    The best way to get a checkmate for the last one is Qh5, if black decides to move his king to d8 then you can move the rook to f8 and he is forced to trade rooks and then he has no choice but to block the rook with thier queen and you can take the queen with your queen and that is checkmate. If black decides to block the queen's check by moving the queen to g6 then you can take with your rook and if he takes your rook then you can take his h8 rook and that is checkmate. If he tries to do any other moves i have found checkmates for those too, but there is too much possible moves for me to disclose in on comment

    Awesome video! Thanks!! My guess for the answer: Nxc7+ Black King would be forced into the d8 e7 diagonal which would lead to a discover check and loss of the black Q with Rf6f4+ ! Wait - not the best discover check. Here is the best: the discover check queen attack combo can also be achieved with Re6+ which I think is actually better since the check cannot be blocked by Black's Queen - whereas with Rf6f4+ the Black Q can block after Kd8 escape!.

    Trap-2: If black had played d5 on move 6, the position would have had a value of -2.37 (depth: 27)

    I an a newbie to chess but I know that never start your moves with pawn on f lane unless you are master of chess or your opponent is weak. It's too difficult to defend after moving that pawn

    • @flacsomtodosclas2165
      @flacsomtodosclas2165 2 года назад

      Not really in a lot of línes you play with the F pawn but its not recommended to newbies because a blindfold advanced player has an better board visión than a newbie

    Can you help with this weakness in my game? In casual games, when I xastle queenside as whitevI very often create a massive weakness of my A pawn. I've been tying up a knight on c3, sometimes this gets pinned, but how do I avoid making this pawn a target. Moving it to A3 seems to create other problems- do I slide my king over, what other solutions are there? Thanks.

    Rook sacrifice from f6 to f8, takes with rook f8 then knight c7 checkmate . Is it correct?

  • @Mihindu-vm9wh
    @Mihindu-vm9wh Год назад

    Ans ;Queen to h5 givibg a check to the king /- only way to refrain from the check is to go to d8:next pushing RG8 then1) Rook captures rook then move Rg8 check..then black Qe8t hen white Qg5

  • @aliuzzamanbiswas3265
    @aliuzzamanbiswas3265 2 года назад +1

    after Queen takes e4 then white will play Knight takes c7 check then King d8 Rook f8 King takes c7 Queen to c5 check King b8 and Queen takes c8 is a Brilliant Checkmate.

    Excellent - as usual.
    By the way the "u" in Zukertort = Zuckertort = sugar pie should be pronounced like the "oo" in rook. I have no idea how his fathers name Jankiel Ezechiel Cukiertort was pronounced.
    It was not uncommon for Jews to adopt an artificial German name especially when they converted to the Christian religion as Zukertort's father did.

    NxP! any black response sets up the loss of black's queen to the Rook on f6 which is moved to attack black's queen while the black king is exposed to check.
