A faster strategy is put your knights in harms way of the opponent's pawns at F3 and C3. The opponent will capture the knight, which will put it within reach of your pawns. It will capture a pawn on its next turn, allowing you to free your pieces.
Challenge: play Martin but you’re only allowed to move your pieces (and pawns) one square per move. That means the knights are stuck but all other pieces can move, diagonals are still 1 move.
@@kales901Easy against Martin because he can get his pieces outside of the pawn chain. This pawn prison challenge is way harder. This is shuffling pieces randomly waiting for Martin to blunder and let out more pieces. In the suggested variation, the NM can use actual strategy and has many many choices so even with slow 1 space moves he can defend everything and coordinate all his pieces together (except knights)
I think the play is to get a rook out, capture all Martin's pieces (not pawns), and then trap/stalemate the king FORCING Martin to move pawns forwards and capture
Idea: you can move a piece only if the original pawn in front of it was captured. This way you start only with pawn moves and the more you sacrifice, the more you can use
9:45 Nf1 discovered check, martin takes knight, fork of king and queen with other knight. Obviously stopped by king ignoring the knight, but it's Martin, so who knows
Just beat Elani(400) at this, then beat her at "can't take any pawns". It was depressing. In game 1, my knights traded for a rook and a queen, then she took so long to take a pawn while my rooks danced that I feared a draw. Then she freed one rook, who took everything she had but pawns and finally she pushed a pawn, freed the other rook, and made checkmate possible Game 2 was mildly more interesting
@@Jake_LBG thats not a forced capture, rook can slide to c1 and just wait there, if the queen captures rook then the king captures queen and theres no mate threat

At 27:49 you missed a winning move, Qd8+ after king move you can play Qxd4 and protect against the mate, and you can will the game. I played about 20 games against him to see what would happen and I won every time.

I just tried this myself. Martin was more cooperative than in the video, but it still took me 3 tries. The first time, he freed my queen almost immediately because he tried some sort of scholar's mate, then he forced me to trade queens (the only way out of a check), and we ended up drawing by repetition. The second time, I had to resign because he put me in check and my only legal move was to capture with a pawn. The third time, I finally mated him. It's rather fun!
Would like to see a variation of this idea but you choose where your pawns are before the game starts. In theory you could place all of them right in front of martins pawns and sacrifice them all or try to strategize
27:50 Qd8+ forces the king to move since there isn’t a way to block, then Qxd4 covers d2 and the mate in one. Then the just has to stay on the d file until less it’s checking the King to continue to defend. This may have already been commented, but can’t read all of them
Nelson, what you should've done was take the nights out, then move the rooks until he takes the knights with his pawns. once he did that, you give one extra move and he will open D file for your queen and bishop or G file for your bishop. I literally won in less than 2 minute, i just premoved all my rooks g1 h1 until he took my knights.

@@BRIN1783 Are you blind? He cant move his pawns so he cant defend his pieces with his pawns but he does all the time. This makes me question the intelligence of chess players
@@BRIN1783 The only reason it works is because the bot doesnt think that way and wont take because he thinks you will retake with the pawn since hes not aware of the challenge
next challenge: play a chess game against a good bot, but u can’t move your king. BUT, you can ONLY move it, when you have no other legal moves besides the king, for example when you’re in a check
Your checkmate at the end depends on your ability to capture the king with your pawns if he moves. However, you can't move your pawns. Because of this, your game only ended with a check as you immobile pawns won't put the king into check if he moves to them.
26:05 you did have a follow up where you could've potentially gotten the rook for free, while checking the king. After QH5, go QH4, then KH5. Depending on what he does with the rook you could take it, but his king will eventually end up on E5 which you can check again with QG3
Watching Nelson approach challenges that aren't regular-ass chess is more rage-inducing than watching mobile game ads. It is demonstrably bad to take and trade pieces and he's just like "Hmm. What if I remove all of my own options and give him less incentive to attack? Maybe that'll help."
Try opening your rooks up from the beginning by moving the rook pawns up the board as fast as you can for an opening. It might mess up a castle,---but you have tons of new play to develop that there is no written defense for.
Martin doesn't take protected pieces unless he has to most of the time. You might have been better served moving the rook back to home base instead of trying to bait him to take it while protected by pawns. Took me four tries and 145 moves on the final try but I finally beat him after three draws by repetition. Then I did a game where I could move only pawns until I have no more pawn moves. I checkmated Martin in 15 moves.
You are half-blind Yes, the knight can move there And keep in mind that in this precise timestamp it is white's turn, in which he played Kd5, so all works out
I think because you were playing so oddly, Martin didn't know what to do either! Ironically it might have been easier to have beaten a higher-rated bot.
22:51 The queen will come down and check the king Take out the queen with the rook The other rook will take your rook You take their rook with the king Mate is now gone If the queen diagonally checks you Move your king to the right The queen may come down again to check you Take her with the rook Mate is gone
The reason Martin doesn’t take is because he doesn’t know pawns aren’t aren’t a threat. so he won’t take anything that is sandwiched between your pawn wall and his pieces.
I feel like that last checkmate was a little cheap. It was checkmate only if you are allowed to move the pawns to capture the king (pawns are still pawns, you're choosing not to move them). If the pawns were replaced by a new type of white piece that was not allowed to move, then the black king could escape to the front of your wall.
@@RetsamX The pawns are not allowed to move. So therefore they cannot control squares or give check. Check is predicated on the potential for a piece to capture the king on the next turn if the threat is not dealt with. For example, a pawn could move to the space directly in front of them, but they cannot capture an opposing piece in that space. Therefore that space is safe from check.
@@chinareds54 what? That makes even less sense than just saying checkmate equals a pawn would move. For one, this would make the challenge unfun or even impossible and for two it's based in how you define it. You chose to define it so the challenge becomes unfun, so good job. 👍
I wish there was a chess robot that played like an actual person for realistic practice. It seems like all of them just defend their pieces and never go on the attack
I did it on 3rd attempt 😅. Has anyone tried to take all of Martin’s pieces, check mating him, but here’s the catch, you can’t lose a single piece, pawns included!! I have done it so it’s probably not that hard, just lucky.
In your first game you could have played Nf3 when the knight was trapped. Martin would have taken the knight and you would play exf3, letting the queen free.
With the checkmate in 2 threat, you could've moved you king to the right and then if he moved his queen to the spot still, you move your rook 2 to the right. He could sac his queen by moving down, but you don't take it. There won't be a checkmate threat any more.
Third game Martin didn’t have any mate in 2, all you had to do was move king to d1 then took to c1 and he has no forced mate… I was yelling at the screen “NO HE DOESNT” every time you were like”I don’t know what to do he has mate” 😭🙏
25:20 Sack the knight for the F5 pawn. drawing away the rook, then rook b1 threatens the queen. If he takes your queen, take his. Then your only real worry is shuffling pieces for 200 more moves xD
Martin desperately wanted to show off a new move he'd learned - but he needed you to push the pawns you had in order to en passant.
