Why is no saying saying rook c3? It's inevitable mate back cannot stop it, every says rook c6 which kinda works, if you're opponent is an idiot, it's true that pawn takes on c6 it's with a5 and rook to xa7 but what if he doesn't take there? A6 is not mate because then pawn can take and because the bishop covers the a7 square.

3:56 the puzzle solution is Rc6! Idea is if black takes our rook. We will have Qxc6+ and we force a mate, but we also now threatening Ra3 then Qc3! Our rook is also pinning a e6 pawn so black queen is helpless. Black can try Rhc8 but you will have Qa5+ Ba7 and Ra6! Threatening Rxa7 and funny enough white king is surprisingly safe. If black takes our rook we can just recapture it with our queen and in unexpected event. Black can stop this simple mate on a7. He can try Rc1+ but our king is completely safe
1. Rc6 seems to be best solution, just make sure to calculate it to the end after imho best defense 1. ... Rhc8 (see my solution bellow) First I thought 1. Rc3 is best, because it threatens Ra3 - Rxa7 - Qa5# so black might play e5 or Ba7 after which you can play Ra3 forcing black to play other move of those two and play 3. Qc5 and after b6 you can finish with Qd5+. Problem with Rc3 is that black can play 1. ... b4 which defends threat and you can still follow with 2. Rc6 making it virtually same as Rc6 in first move. So back to solution - 1. Rc6 Rhc8 (1. ... bxc6 2. Qxc6 Rb7 3.Qxb7#, 1. ... Ba7 2. Ra6 with threat of Rxa7+ followed be Qa5#, 1. ... g4 or something similar 2. Ra6+ bxa6 3. Qc6+ Rb7 4. Qxb7#, 1. ... e5 2. Qa5+ first and grab the queen, followed by Qxb5) now back to main line - after Rhc8 Ra6 does not work because black defends a7, b7 and c6. But you have sick rook sacrifice option... 2. Qa5+ Ba7 3. Ra6 threatening Rxa7 so black neend to take 3. ... Rxa6 and after 4. Qxa6 black can only delay checkmate by few checks. Note that black queen is so badly positioned that h6 is literally only square on board that does not allow black any defense.
Damn this puzzle, I spent a good hour on it. Rc6 seems to me the best idea. Black cannot take with the pawn 1. Rc6 bxC6 , 2. Qa5+ Ba7 and you can then mate with the queen or rook on a7. The other defence with 1. Rc6 Rhc8 also leads to a mate with 2. Qa5+ Ba7, 3. Ra6 bxa6, 4. Qxa6 at this point black can give a couple of checks, but you gonna mate on a7 after the checks are over. Generally it seems, that the only fair defence after 1. Rc6 should be either Ba7, 2. Ra6 e5, which leads to winning the black queen or after 1. Rc6 e5, 2. Qa5+ Ba7, 3. Rxh6 again winning the black queen.

Puzzle solution: Qa5+, Ba7 Rc3 (defending h3). If black plays Qxh3, gxh3 Rxh3, Rxh3. That way black losses queen and rook. Otherwise white plays Ra3 and mate after black plays any other move.
Key Points of the Video: The two bad habits that ruin your chess progress are: 1. tunnel vision, and 2. Not seeing the opponent's replies to your candidate move.
This is teaching me how to improve my THOUGHT PROCESS! I am currently on my 2200 ELO Journey, and my expert level thinking is hindering my potential. Now, I know WHY I must avoid tunnel vision.
not sure if that works, Rc5 is a great move if bishop doesnt take its checkmate, but if Bxc5, Qxc5 looking for Qa3# checkmate, black has the dirty e5, opening up the 6th rank for the Queen to defend the mate with Qa6. or am i wrong? good find none the less. I think Rc6 might be the better plan, if pawn takes bxc6 you have Qa7# mate, if Ba7, Ra6 with the same mate idea, then if he plays another move Qa5, bxa6, Qxa6, then no matter where black moves i believe its mate on a7 or b7 depending on blacks response
Rc5 definitely doesn't work, since e5 opens up the path for the black queen to block the possible checkmate. There's no defense against Rc6. With that move, e5 prevents immediate checkmate, but drops the queen and eventually the game.
1st Puzzle worked against 3 different bots: Rc6, Ba7 cRa6, hRc8 aRa7 checking the King, King has to take a7R, then Qa5 for Checkmate. It worked against 3 good bots. Black couldn't stop the Checkmate. It was basically mate in 4 each time.
Rc5. If black does not respond with Bxd5, continue with Qa5#. If he does, Qxd5, and then Black cannot stop mate. Qxh3 continues gxh3, Rxh3, Kg2, and black cannot continue the attack. g4 gives away Qa5#, and most other moves can't block Qa3#. b7 does not save the king because it gives the rook on f7 control of a7 and b7, meaning Qa3 is still mate. Rb8-c8 is a nice try, but white can respond Qb6, and there's no way to stop Qxb7#. Rc7 fails to Rxc7, and Rc1+ is easily countered by Kh2.
I don't think that is correct. After Rc5, Bxd5, Qxd5, black has e5 and then after Qa3, black can play Qa5 to stop the mating threat. After trading queens, black would be simply up a rook. Rather, Rc6 leads to mate. Taking with the pawn leads to Qc6+, Rb7, Qxb7#. If Black doesn't take, white goes Ra6+, forcing black to either take (with the same sequence as before) or to block with the bishop on a7, after which you can Rxa7+, Kxa7, Qa5#.
Rc6! If black plays bxc6, then Qxc6+, Rb7, Qxb7#, If black plays some other move like Rhf8, white plays Ra6+, and if bxa6, Qc6+, Rb7, Qxb7#. Black's best response to Rc6 is Ba7, and after Ra6, e5, sacrificing the queen, or white can play e5 immediately after Rc6, again sacrificing the queen. Either way, after Rxh6, Rxh6, the immediate mating opportunity is gone, but white has won the exchange.
This is the first line I noticed. 1. Qa5+ Ba7 2. Rc3 e5 3. Ra3 Qa6. Nothing seems concrete here for white and black is somehow safe. Then there's Rc6 to play Ra6 and preventing Qa6. The line I calculated was 1. Rc6 Ba7 2. Ra6 e5. White can play 3. Rxh6 and white should be winning this queen up endgame.
4:01 I think it’s Re6 !! If pawn takes then Qa5+ then Ba7 then Qxa7# And if not takes like something random like b4 which is probably the best move then Ra6+ !! If Ba7 then Rxa7+, Kxa7 then Qa5# If takes with the pawn then Qc6+ Rb7 then Qxb7#
Yes. At first I thought of Rc3, but then Black can play ...e5! (And the Queen gets to go to a6). So, Rc6! is there to prevent ... e5, really. And after ... Ba7, White follows up with Ra6! and Black can still not play ...e5, so gets checkmated soon.
I see two combos that could win. Qa6, rc3, ra3, qa2. The second rc5, ra3, qa2. That's probably the quickest. The first one happens right before you get mated yourself, but I didn't calculate long.
Puzzle: Rc5 is a great move if bishop doesnt take its checkmate, but if Bxc5, Qxc5 looking for Qa3# checkmate, black has the dirty e5, opening up the 6th rank for the Queen to defend the mate with Qa6. or am i wrong? good find none the less. I think Rc6 might be the better plan, if pawn takes bxc6 you have Qa7# mate, if Rc6, Ba7, then Ra6 with the same mate idea, then if he plays another move Qa5, bxa6, Qxa6, then no matter where black moves i believe its mate on a7 or b7 depending on blacks response, here e5 will not help back as the Rook on c6 and a6 x-rays the queen. probably wrong but thanks the puzzle enjoyed it and your vid!
your vedios are very informative and i would love a vedio about how to learn from your mistakes with analayzing as when i analyze i feel like i didnt learn much speachely when its not clear what i did wrong
5:34 that was indeed what I thought but then I saw the discovered attack and ended up with the idea of Nb5 achieving same as Ne5 just with the queen protected. This a viable idea? Edit: I guess it doesn’t do much because taking on c7 would undefend the queen. Still could win a pawn and will force black to move the king.
@@chinmay567 Then you can play Ra6+ and they either need to take with the pawn anyway, or alternatively they can block with Ba7, after which Rxa7+, Kxa7 only move, Qa5#.
Impulse moves come from people playing blitz and bullets and also from watching way too many youtube videos where pros play openings in few seconds. You tend to get this idea that you don't have time to calculate.
I watched the video 3 days ago. Today again. And even though that time I saw the combination of the first position I was unable to find it myself again. Means I am a hopeless case in chess, whatsoever quantity of videos I may watch or how many courses I study
Moreover 2 bad habits that ruin your chess is playing lots of chess and then pretending that chess study is important. It’s a colossal waste of time. Learn some openings and play for fun. Touch some grass go date some girls go do cool things on life. Don’t devote your life to chess. Igor has the best most entertaining videos hands down but based on some of the people that make comments here I tend to avoid reading any of them because ngl most of the people in the comment section are nuts all they care about in life is chess.
Informative videos but it's interesting that he has the tendency occasionally in his videos about top players in the world mainly to point out their mistakes and misses, he never praises how great they are . Is Igor jealous?😂
Puzzle: rc6 threatening 1.ra6+ bxa6 followed by 2.Qc6+ rb7 and 3.Qxb7 mate. If black takes bxc6 this leads to quicker mate 1.Qxc6 rb7 2.Qxb7 mate. If black does Ba7 as a response to prevent the check of ra6+ instead of using pawn on b7 to capture allowing the king to be exposed to forced mate from Qc6+, black still plays ra6, and black can't do anything to prevent 1. rxa7+ Kxa7 2. Qa5# mate
For the puzzle: first thing i tought about was Qa5+ Ba7 and Rc3 but i think black can just play b4 and i see no attacks for white. The second thing i thought about was Rc5 but i came to the conclusion that after Bxc5 Qxc5 black can just play e5 to liberate the path for the queen (after Qa3+ Qa6) and if Rf3!? Rbc8 and i only see a draw for white after Ra3+ Kb8 Qa7+ Qc7 Qc5+ (Kb8 Qa7=)(Qc6 Qxe5+ Qd6 Rc3+ Qd7 Qg7+ Ke6 Qg6=)(Kd7 and Kd8 both lose for black cause we play Rd3+ and pick up the rook and the king looks in danger, i think mated). Then i thought about Rc3 Bxc3 bxc3 but black can just play e5 liberating the path for the queen and we are losing. But i think i have found the solution after all of this calculation: we don’t need to make the idea of Qa5 work we just have to make the idea of Qa7# work. Let me explain: we can play Rc6!! threatening Ra6+!! bxa6 and Qa7#. Black has only two ways of defending against this idea which are e5 and Ba7. After e5 we just pick up the queen with Rxh6 and after Ba7 we play Ra6!! with the threat of Rxa7+ Kxa7 and Qa5# so black has to lose the queen by playing e5 Rxh6 and we win.

Puzzle ans- Qa5+ Ba7 Rc3(with ideas of Ra3)
Naahhh, after Rc3 , black would push pawn to e5 thqn queen comes at qa6
Rc3 first is a bit more accurate bro
@@chinmay567still up a queen
Always careful with my moves in Chess.😎
Rook C3, if Bishop takes then QA5 is mate, if he doesn’t take it protect pawn in front of own king and then can move to A3 to force a check mate
Rook C5!
First here (literally)
Here's your trophy lmao 🏆

White to play: 1. Rook C6 - BA7 2. Ra6 - Qh5 3.R x B - K x R 4. Qa5 checkmate
Puzzle: rc6 threatening 1.ra6+ bxa6 followed by 2.Qc6+ rb7 and 3.Qxb7 mate.
If black takes bxc6 this leads to quicker mate 1.Qxc6 rb7 2.Qxb7 mate.
If black does Ba7 as a response to prevent the check of ra6+ instead of using pawn on b7 to capture allowing the king to be exposed to forced mate from Qc6+, black still plays ra6, and black can't do anything to prevent 1. rxa7+ Kxa7 2. Qa5# mate
Парни, я заработал на новый телефон на этих кейсах. Они дают вообще лютейше!!!
Okay, but he keeps saying, “X-ray” when he means, “skewer” (attack on a high-value piece in order to win a lower-valued piece behind it.) 😢
I’ve heard both terms used synonymously.
For the puzzle: first thing i tought about was Qa5+ Ba7 and Rc3 but i think black can just play b4 and i see no attacks for white. The second thing i thought about was Rc5 but i came to the conclusion that after Bxc5 Qxc5 black can just play e5 to liberate the path for the queen (after Qa3+ Qa6) and if Rf3!? Rbc8 and i only see a draw for white after Ra3+ Kb8 Qa7+ Qc7 Qc5+ (Kb8 Qa7=)(Qc6 Qxe5+ Qd6 Rc3+ Qd7 Qg7+ Ke6 Qg6=)(Kd7 and Kd8 both lose for black cause we play Rd3+ and pick up the rook and the king looks in danger, i think mated). Then i thought about Rc3 Bxc3 bxc3 but black can just play e5 liberating the path for the queen and we are losing. But i think i have found the solution after all of this calculation: we don’t need to make the idea of Qa5 work we just have to make the idea of Qa7# work. Let me explain: we can play Rc6!! threatening Ra6+!! bxa6 and Qa7#. Black has only two ways of defending against this idea which are e5 and Ba7. After e5 we just pick up the queen with Rxh6 and after Ba7 we play Ra6!! with the threat of Rxa7+ Kxa7 and Qa5# so black has to lose the queen by playing e5 Rxh6 and we win.
Rc6
