What Inferno has in mind is that after 4. ....Ke7 there is 5. Nf5+ forking the black king and rook and directly forcing a trade of rooks after which White will be up a knight. Instead 5. Nb5 is recommended and I would like to know why it is better than 5. Nb5
If someone is confused on why not all pieces that attacked multiple other pieces are forks, a fork is a piece that attacks 2 pieces that would reward material
I mean, it's even better. 1. Nf5+, Kxd8; 2. Nxd4, Ke7; 3. Kg3, Kf6 Then we have the killer: 4. Kf4... Black is on zugzwang, d5 pawn is blockaded and White is going to push f and g pawns
For number 8 the whole sequence only wins one pawn because thier knight takes your pawn at the end, meaning the WAY simpler bxh5 which wins one pawn is just as good
I myself thought that 1. Bxa5! at the beginning must win at least a rook because the queen is overloaded with preventing mate on g7. It looks to me like Bxa5 is close to leading to mate because of all kinds of possible checks and discovered attacks on the black king.
@@renehenriksen1735did you see the NXg4? Moves like Qa7 and black looks fine( I am really low rating on chess) I mean BXA5 Qa7 Qg3 Ne4. Now Queen must leave g file and Qxa5. I may miss something I just see on my eyes and I am low rating
0:35 The black queen is also forking the white bishop and the white pawn and the white queen is also forking the rook and the knight. After Knight takes h5, White Bishop takes e8, if Rook takes Bishop then Queen takes Rook. After all this, White Pawn takes knight
On Puzzle 8, Another way to go would be: white bishop should capture the black pawn on his left as this move attacks black's queen and rook. So if black captures with queen its mate with white queen. If black moves the queen then white capture the rook first, then if black queen leaves row 7 its game over, if queen does not leave that row then white captures black pawn with rook on row D, forcing the queen out of row 7.
@@r3ktsoldier8If you look at the position carefully the knight can escape via b3 since there's no a and c pawn anymore and then escape to d4, the light square bishop could try to stop it but black can challenge the light square bishop with its own light square bishop and the knight will eventually escape
Can anyone tell me.. In puzzle 2 the white could have defended from the fork if he place bishop on c1 instead of capturing the queen or Could even place its knight on b1
Zach I got all of the puzzles lol there were a couple which were hard like the underpromotion to the knight but I eventually found it (in like 10 mins or so)
on level 8 couldn't you play bishop a5 to skewer the queen and rook to win a rook because the queen can't come off of the 7 file because of the mate threat
Puzzle 8: why not bishop takes a5 pinning queen & rook? Black queen can only go to D7 if it wants to protect the rook. But then we hit D5 with our rook and the queen is attacked again. If the queen moves to any other square on the 7th file then we take the rook for free AND we then can drop our knight to E7 check, protected by our bishop. If not the knight we can take the f6 pawn for free...
Level 8 is pointless If you take the pawn on the A file with your Bishop and skewer the Queen and Rook, you win a full Rook, because the Queen cannot take, otherwise white has mate.
Puzzle 8, why cant we go Ba5? Threatening queen? Only option Qd7 or Qe7(Ne7) to save black Rook! So if Qd7 , Rd5 threatening queen! So queen has to retreat! Mate or queen for rook. OR Queen takes bishop , then Qg7#
On puzzle 8 rather than Bd5 you could take Ba5 pining the queen to the rook, If queen move any where we take the rook ... and If queen take bishop a5, White queen g7 mate in one (elo 1500) 🥱
Can't you play Kc2+ immediately in the second puzzle? If queen takes c2(where the knight is) we take the rook(qxa1) and we're up meterial. If queen doesn't take the knight,we take the rook(qxa1) with our knight.
@@VincentvanRijn-gf5szwhat do you mean 2 pieces? The it's check. And after that if qxc2 we take a rook with us being up 3 points of meterial as 1 pawn + rook =6 6-3=3. And if he doesn't take knight we take the rook with our queen. But,the solution is better as 9-9=0(queen for queen) but we are winning as we are winning and up a whole rook,thank you for the explanation.
@@NormalMuslim7Knight takes c2 is a blunder actually bcuz this position is arrive by black sacrifice a bishop beforehand, so after your sequence of moves you are down two minor pieces for a rook and a pawn, and even though in theory they are equal material in practice the one who lose the rook and a pawn is actually better cuz pawn doesn't matter that much in the middle game and the bishop pair advantage and if he manages to coordinate his extra two minor pieces well he is going to eventually win the game
Chessnerd >>> Sorry for appearing so annoyingly questionable, but in Puzzle 8 it appears to me that 1. Bxa5! is simpler and more directly decisive than the solution recommended. I know the theme is forks but still. 1. Bxa5 seems so much more powerfull to me because the black queen must prevent mate. And when the bishop has captured the black rook nothing can prevent the white rook from taking on d5 and entering the black position, and if the black queen should take it it simply is over.
I am low rating but looks like NXg4 is huge threat from black. Maybe even play immidiatly or as threat after Q move. Maybe I miss something, but yes black threat Queen. I mean looks like BXA5, Qa7 Qg3 Ne4 and Qxa5. I tell you I may miss something huge
can anyone explain to me in round 8 isnt there a skewer with the bishop on the queen and rook as its brilliant cuz ur sacking a bishop but if queen takes then its mate as the queen is deflected off the square although if the queen doesnt take and moves away then we get the rook and are winning an exchange ? am i right plz do tell
feast with the fork
first lol, hi chess give me a shoutout or else 😈
Give me GM title or else🔫
eat with the spork
give me Premium pack or else 😈
Give me everything you have or else 👽
On level 7 could you have forked the king and rook rather than a desperado?
Yeah I thought that too
I was thinking about that.
You guys making it to level 7 😭

If someone is confused on why not all pieces that attacked multiple other pieces are forks, a fork is a piece that attacks 2 pieces that would reward material
12:48 isn't NF5 even better? I mean this way the opponent can't check us and take our pawn.
My 500 elo brain prefers to see a fork as a utensil used for eating
😂
literally me holding a fork while watching the video
My 2 elo brain doesn’t even know what a fork is
I hope the next levels include Exchange Sacrifice and discovered attacks
You're editing is so GOOD!
To be honest we need more chess piece and board unboxings
I have a question in puzzle 7 13:02 didnt u have NF5 forking the king and rook
So do I
I mean, it's even better. 1. Nf5+, Kxd8; 2. Nxd4, Ke7; 3. Kg3, Kf6
Then we have the killer:
4. Kf4...
Black is on zugzwang, d5 pawn is blockaded and White is going to push f and g pawns
Puzzle 8 i would play bishop A5 couse why not? It would win materilal or not?
12:41 why not Nf5??
In puzzle 7 for the last move, Nf5 is also another fork.
Yeah idk how he didn’t see that in a video about forks😂
Thanks for this series bro. I have been watching this series since the start, and wanted to thank you fir this great content on tactics.

MY FAVORITE SERIES RETURNS!!
On The 7th puzzle i was confused because We can fork the King and rook rather than Desperado, yes? Or no?
Ba6 looks super juicy on puzzle 8 cause of the deflection sacrifice and the laser beam
I think u mean Ba5 13:59
Idk man, after Nxg4 then Bxc7, the rook is just gonna slide away and you have an equal game
0:35 The black queen is also forking the white bishop and the white pawn and the white queen is also forking the rook and the knight.
After Knight takes h5, White Bishop takes e8, if Rook takes Bishop then Queen takes Rook. After all this, White Pawn takes knight
5:13 ; These pieaces are truly ffff....... forked (I thought you would say f.ed up)
Level 7 the answer was knite f5+ willing the rook instead of knite b5 attacking the rook
Probably the structure of showing the tactics in game w/ puzzles is marvelous, you've created a good material to learn, good 4 u
In the last puzle if we push a pawn and king ever tries to take that paw it will be stealmate
On Puzzle 8, Another way to go would be:
white bishop should capture the black pawn on his left as this move attacks black's queen and rook.
So if black captures with queen its mate with white queen.
If black moves the queen then white capture the rook first, then if black queen leaves row 7 its game over, if queen does not leave that row then white captures black pawn with rook on row D, forcing the queen out of row 7.
Puzzle 9: just take knight and it’s way easier because there’s just one attack piece
In last puzzle if u don't take that underpromoted knight its still a draw.
On level 7 you could take the pawn, when he take back the white pawn you fork the rook and king
Why on puzzle 7 you played Nb5 in front of Nf5 that would be check
Fork this tactic, I always miss it in real games
Why in lvl 9 black didnt took the knight with the bishop
On puzzle 2 could’ve you forked the rook and king and when queen takes knight I slide in and take the rook+?
But then you lose 2 pieces for the rook instead of 1
@@VincentvanRijn-gf5szI’m sorry I’m a bit new at chess but with the move he said don’t you lose the knight cause it’s trapped in some moves?
@@r3ktsoldier8If you look at the position carefully the knight can escape via b3 since there's no a and c pawn anymore and then escape to d4, the light square bishop could try to stop it but black can challenge the light square bishop with its own light square bishop and the knight will eventually escape
Can anyone tell me.. In puzzle 2 the white could have defended from the fork if he place bishop on c1 instead of capturing the queen or
Could even place its knight on b1
0:10 everyone's just forking each other
Zach I got all of the puzzles lol there were a couple which were hard like the underpromotion to the knight but I eventually found it (in like 10 mins or so)
As a player with a 1700 elo brain.
I cant play slow chess. I study chess tactics to see them faster for blitz and bullet.
It helps.
At 6:34, what if black takes our Knight instead of our Rook? Why is that trade 'forced'?
12:48 but couldn't you just go nf5+ fork? It's more forcing imo
What's wrong with bishop takes A5 on eight level? You get a rook for a bishop which has same worth as 2 pawns
15.:12 puzzle 8 black queen can mote to f7 it's a better move for win.
12:45 Bro I thought the move was Nf5+ and simplify the position xd
Before puzzle 1 isnt there a fork by white queen on rook and knight ...though both r defended...
on level 8 couldn't you play bishop a5 to skewer the queen and rook to win a rook because the queen can't come off of the 7 file because of the mate threat
Level 7 I would prefer the final fork rather than the desperado.
Puzzle 8: bishop take pawn on a5 forking queen and rook? With mate in 1 threat on g7?
Puzzle8
bishop take a5 is better, then take rook, queen can't take your bishop
Puzzle 8: why not bishop takes a5 pinning queen & rook? Black queen can only go to D7 if it wants to protect the rook. But then we hit D5 with our rook and the queen is attacked again. If the queen moves to any other square on the 7th file then we take the rook for free AND we then can drop our knight to E7 check, protected by our bishop. If not the knight we can take the f6 pawn for free...
Eighth puzzle.
Do Ba8, if queen takes do Nf7 checkmate. If they don't take, take queen or rook, whichever stays on the knife I'd call.
+ if they take rook back with queen, you can also do Nf7#.
Love this video ❤️
Ba5 for puzzle 8
12:47 there's a simpler solution though NF5 forks the king and rook and forces the rook trade
Hi great content ... i would like to ask which app do u use for recording ur videos ... ones which captures ur screen and selfie at the same time
The knight with this🥵
12:46 Why don't we play Nf5+ and forking the king and rook?
Oh man in puzzle 8 you could do bishop a5, is not that won a rook .I thought I found it the puzzle when I saw this😂
you could've forked the king and rook in the 7th puzzle instead of a Desperado
THE FORK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Level 8 is pointless
If you take the pawn on the A file with your Bishop and skewer the Queen and Rook, you win a full Rook, because the Queen cannot take, otherwise white has mate.
in puzzle 9 what if the bishop takes the knight
Idk I’m 1300 but on 13:58is bxa5 not good? And on 16:35 not just play rxf7?
12:47 bro can play knight f5 forking king and rook
Hi. I love this kind of content. It's useful and entertaining. Thanks. I hope you do the same with others themes. 😁
I have a playlist of 6 of these out :)
😅
12:45 isn't there just a fork with Nf5 check ?
in puzzle 8 wasnt bishop takes a5 winning?
12:46 Nf5????
Puzzle 8, why cant we go Ba5? Threatening queen?
Only option Qd7 or Qe7(Ne7) to save black Rook! So if Qd7 , Rd5 threatening queen! So queen has to retreat! Mate or queen for rook.
OR
Queen takes bishop , then Qg7#
What can we do if the bishop takes knight in the 9th puzzle?
why is Nb4 better then Nf5 in puzzle 7. fork the king and the rook and if Kxd8 you follow up by Nxd4
4. the queen forks the rook and the knight
In level 0
at 12:44 isn't Knight f5 better than Knight b5?
On puzzle 8 isn't it ba6 is also good or maybe even better?
There's an error on puzzle level 8, there's a better move
On lvl 8 does bishop a 5 work ?
May the fork be with you.
I am your fork
On puzzle 8 rather than Bd5 you could take Ba5 pining the queen to the rook, If queen move any where we take the rook ... and If queen take bishop a5, White queen g7 mate in one (elo 1500) 🥱
Already failed at level 2 😢
Puzzle 6 why cant we move the E pawn first?
Amazing video dude
On level 6
What do you mean by a study
In level 8, what about Bxa5?
If Queen takes the bishop, we have mate, and if not, we take the rook and win material...
Am I wrong?
Maybe black has another move that wins.
Oh, no, he could just take your Queen whit the Knight first, and if u take the Queen too, he just move the rook
I am stuck in 1300 elo i practice daily but stuck in same rating how to improve
Puzzle 9 , you can move the queen tob7
In 8th puzzle doesn't Bxa5 works
Best move is 1. Bxa5
How did i solve level 8 but not the others
In third could you do Bb7
Isnt bxa5 better in puzzle 8?
on level 8 can we play Ba5?
why not NXB7 in puzzle 7 so that he can't take our rook
Where you find these puzzle
THE ROOKKK!!
Can't you play Kc2+ immediately in the second puzzle?
If queen takes c2(where the knight is) we take the rook(qxa1) and we're up meterial.
If queen doesn't take the knight,we take the rook(qxa1) with our knight.
