      As a beginner 600ELO player i want to play your b3 openning as white and as black also. If you learn us b3 as black that would be so happier☺️..
      And also you can make one of my favorite *Dutch Stonewall defence* thank you Sir☺️

    On the second puzzle I wish you would've explored some other lines since KxF8 isn't forced. I played around with Black responding to NF8 with KE8 instead of capturing the Knight, and I think that actually makes for another, perhaps even more interesting line!

    Thank you very much for the puzzles. I’m new at chess and it took me about 1 hour to figure out all the puzzles by moving them not in my brain. I have a very protective personality but you made me realize that in this game you have to give a little to to gain more hopefully.

  • @ayushsengupta2645
    @ayushsengupta2645 6 месяцев назад

    Solved the 1st and 3rd quite easily but in the 2nd puzzle, if we play Nc5+, then if black plays Kg6, then Ne5 by white after which if black plays Rb8, then Nf4 is a mate. If black plays Re8, then Rg7 is checkmate and if black plays Rh7, Nf4 is again a checkmate! Am I right Igor?

  • @VestedUTuber
    @VestedUTuber Год назад

    Alright, right off the bat, without watching further with puzzle 1...
    First off, you can't actually stop the black pawn from promoting. However, that's not a problem, because the solution actually wants the black pawn to promote at a specific time.
    1. Rb5. This basically gives the rook to Black with ...Kxb5, however it also prevents ...Kxb6 and forces the king out of position, as while Kxb5 isn't forced (I know you called it forced, but I guarantee that some lower-ELO players would do literally anything else at this point and blunder the game), it is the ONLY move that Black can make without losing their pawn. Honestly, I'd argue that Rb5 is actually Rb5!!, as it is a huge material sacrifice that in turn single-handedly wins the game.
    2. b7. At this point, it's a race to promote, and one white can't win. But white doesn't _have_ to win it. Black follows up with ...b1=Q. Promotion was inevitable here, but there's a big problem with Black's position here, which I'll explain with the next step.
    3. b8=Q or b8=R. Either of these works for the purposes of the puzzle. Because the Black king was lured onto the b file two turns ago, this skewers (I know you called it an "X-Ray attack", but honestly I've always just known this as a skewer) the Black king and newly promoted queen, forcing Black to move their king off the b file and allowing White to take on the next turn. No matter what Black does at this point, they've pretty much lost. They might luck out and White might blunder stalemate, but that probably won't happen unless this is a low-ELO game.
    Apparently I got it. Honestly, if I saw this puzzle just a couple months ago I probably would have been stumped.

  • @philip6419
    @philip6419 6 месяцев назад

    I have a question on the 1st puzzle. WHY can't the King just follow white pawn.. then capture when promoted? You have the black pawn promote.. but, black pawn is not in danger and doesn't need to waste a move by promoting right then.
    As a Master, YOU have made this channel VERY desirable for those of us who seek training. One way.. because of your willingness to 'listen' and respond to serious questions. Thank you.

    In the second puzzle the black has no moral obligations to take the knight.

  • @richardwagner7499
    @richardwagner7499 Год назад +1

    For your 2nd game why not kc6? It seems there are 4 black options.
    1. Move rook pawn whereby the sequence of kn-d5! Forces either kb8 with white kb6. Or kc8 with white fork. Or kd8 where black rook is lost with white rook check.
    2 Moving the rook to any white square the white knight gets it with a discovered check.
    3. Moving kd7 loses with ktd5! with rook lost on a knight fork or if king goes to 8th row lost with a rook check.
    4. Lastly rook moves on a black square where re8 seams the only possible out where it's foiled with knxp! Kb8 followed by white king to b6 and mate follows.
    Excuse my poor annotation skills. Did I miss something in my analysis?

    • @mapron1
      @mapron1 Год назад

      Because knight can not move to c6. Knight piece move that way: it moves 2 horizontally and 1 vertically. it can not move 1 horizontal and 1 vertical chess tile. That's why it's impossible to move knight to c6.

    @Pasan34 Год назад

    Got problem 1 and 3 correct. But didn't get 2 correct as I thought Kf5 as next move. Where if black goes to ... Ke7, then white Ne5+ with idea of forking King and rook. If black rook moves or if K goes to back row, then a whole host of white moves are possible, including Nxf6 or other ideas you discussed.

    • @scottgunderson4643
      @scottgunderson4643 6 месяцев назад

      You're exactly right about Kf5 on the second puzzle. That's the correct answer because Igor's move would have allowed black to force a stalemate.

  • @somebody4865
    @somebody4865 Год назад

    In the second puzzle, why wouldn't white play king to f5, and then kill the black pawn with the knight, also revealing a check, and since white has their king on f5, black cannot kill the knight, or move downwards, so they are then forced to move up, and they can't move their king to protect the black rook because of white's knight.
