      If you mean Nf6+ then capture the queen after the king moves, it would be an equal trade since your queen is already hanging.

    • @Cyano_Xchrono
      @Cyano_Xchrono 2 месяца назад +2

      But you wouldn't need to do that since after the discovered check from bishop after moving the knight to e6, black king would have to move Kh7 and then white Qg7 is checkmate, that's why he said mate in 2, no need to take queen with the knight

    Puzzle solution: Nxe6+, delivering a discovered check from the bishop on c1. Black's options are Kh7 and f4. Either way, Qxg7 delivers the mate.
    Oops, just noticed that black could also play g5. In that case, hxg6 e.p. is mate.

  • @scionescire
    @scionescire 2 месяца назад +3

    In game 3, at 11:54, after Bxd1?, white does not even need to recapture on d1, as Qg3+ would lead to checkmate on g7 (Bg4 and Bg7 don't really help).
    Puzzle: Nxe6+ and Qxg7#

  • @hugosuk563
    @hugosuk563 2 месяца назад +2

    Igor you made an analysis error at 11:41, if bishop takes on d1, the next move would not be recapturing with rxd1 attacking the queen, there is a stronger mate in 3 with qg3+, forcing a checkmate because the bishop is already off of the defensive diagonal.
