0:15 Rc4 is a beautiful waiting move that forces white to play either Ba4 or Bxc4, Ba4 loses to Rxa4# with an immediate mate (queen is pinned) and Bxc4 is met with Qxc4#
I think in the 2nd puzzle, after white queen a8, black queen can go anywhere from d-g8, and it's a mate in 3 after white queen takes black queen since white queen still needs to take black queen to reach h8. Might not be mate in 2, but decided in 2.
For the first puzzle, I'm curious if Rook to anywhere lower on the A column also works; only thing that can move is white pawn 1 space forward, Rook takes pawn #
Looking at 4:16, that knight on d1 is looking kinda vulnerable, like king takes and I've got at least two mates after. If Rook takes on e2 I have Queen F2 with mate. If Queen check on e2 then Rook takes on e2 with discovered mate unless I wanna drag the game out an extra move, can play Kc2+ forcing Qd/e1 and either way rook takes with checkmate.
@@chessscapehey, sorry, what will black do after king d1? If they give a check either with the queen or bishop, rook e2 is checkmate. Any other move leads to a checkmate with queen to f2 or e1
4:43 can I move the rook to G1 Making a double check and the only place for king to move is E2 then you can just move your queen to E1 an alternative mate in 2
Even though it’s not a mate in 2, it’s can also work in the second puzzle. The order goes: Rxd7 If they are smart and they prevent checkmate with Qh8, I play b8 = Q, creating a zugzwang. If queen takes, Rh7# If not, Qb7#. You can let me know if there is a way black can counter this move.
I am very much disappointed. I was trying to figure out MATE IN 2 from white side in the first puzzle for so longfrom the thumbnail before clicking on the video😂😂😂
Last puzzle: I went for White Rook h2 (check with bishop), only thing black can do (king is trapped) is Black Bishop g7 to block, White Bishop takes Black Bishop at g7 #; any holes in this play?
For the second puzzle, I was at first thinking Rook to f2, then King to e2 for the mate, idk if Black can delay that but then I saw Queen a8 was better
2:19 you can still checkmate the king by moving your king up and again and then movw your queen to h1 and the king cannot take the pawn because its protected by the king
4:07 wait, is'nt there an unstoppable checkmate after king takes the knight on d1. Queen F2 is unstoppable and even if the opponent gives a check, (Bf3 or Qe2) or defends the checkmate by playing Qf6, you can go rook e2, a discovered checkmate. Correct me if i'am wrong please.
Rook to e2 is not a checkmate Black’s bishop can still block the attack from white’s bishop on h3 After Kxd1, Bf3+ Re2+, Black sacrificing bishop by Bg2 Lastly white Bxg2# Mate in 3
Hi chesscape There is an another alternative for the last puzzle King takes night If Qe2 check then rook takes queen is mate If bishop takes on g2 then Qe1 is mate If bishop F3check then again rook to e2 wins the game If i am missing something please suggest me
You need to be rated 1800 or above in order to have the right to comment on these videos, newbie. Bishop F3 check, rook E2, black responds with Bishop to G2 - no checkmate.
@@SorakaOTP462oh wow some random commenter telling people that they can't comment. Hmmmmm. You probably added the rule of "1800 plus" only because you're 1800 and wanted to be included. Stop shutting people down for sharing their ideas cmon man

In the second problem with king e3 check,black king moves to h2,then move the king to f3 check with the rook,and when the black king escapes to h3,mate with queen to h1
It took a long time for me to solve this, I eventually felt I didn't have enough concentrated power. Suddenly I used a principal of "connect your pieces" then immediately solved it.
In the last puzzle, you could have just have moved the rook to g1, then when the king moves to e2, you can move your white squared bishop to f1, checkmate.
At 2:00 kf2 is still winning after the black king is forced to go to h3 the queen will just slide to qh1. Qa8 is just faster right? Please tell me I'm not crazy 😢
3:45 The only reason I didn't think of that was because I'm afraid the Pawn will take the Knight, then the other Knight takes the Pawn, then the King takes the Knight, so that's not Checkmate in 2. You failed to clarify which side was which, because this only works if White is on bottom.
In the last there is mate in 1 rook g1 is actually checkmate because the bishop protects the rook the queen protects e1 and the bishop is also attacking the king(but cool mate in 2)
In the last puzzle there is a another answer rf2 is a chek with rock and bishop there id only two moves 1 if kq1 the Qe1 is a cheek mate and if ke1 the nc2 is chek mate
On the 2nd puzzle it also actually has mate in 2 1.) Rook on B2 move to F2 or G2 Whatever the opponent plays can't stop it 2).move king behind the rook You just moved CHECKMATE Summarize: 1.RB2 to RF2/RG2 RF2+KE2=checkmate RG2+KF2=checkmste
Rook in F2.check..Knight take Rf2..Queen takes f2 checkmate..if its ignore,.the queen can move to E1 then Knight c2 check mate. if king move to g1 ..queen to h2 ..check mate
4:56 In puzzle four as far as I am concerned this variation also works 1. Rh2 discovered check Bg2 forced 2. Bxg2# This just made me realise that he lies about " only move " 💀 BTW Not always there is only one winning move
3:45 is false if you check them with queen to h4 it's mate in 1 after that move because if king e5 then you bring queen back to e7 however if he plays king f3 then you just movwe queen g3
0:15 Rc4 is a beautiful waiting move that forces white to play either Ba4 or Bxc4, Ba4 loses to Rxa4# with an immediate mate (queen is pinned) and Bxc4 is met with Qxc4#
Why explaining when Chessscape is the explainer?
He is explaining, because he most probable solved it and then wrote this comment without seeing the solution in the video.
We can do chekmate by the no. 4 rook taking ahead
The right notation is Ra-c4, because both Rooks can go to c4
Yesssss
1:51 Kf2+ is actually a good move because Kh2 is forced the Kf3+ Kh3 Qh1#

Wait, and 1:08 isn’t technically taking the bishop with your queen checkmate?
Then king takes the queen if queen takes bishop because rook only guards/attacks a straight line square and not diagonal
For the first puzzle, I'm curious if Rook to anywhere lower on the A column also works; only thing that can move is white pawn 1 space forward, Rook takes pawn #
For the last puzzle, Rg1; King must move to e2 since he’s in double check. Then Qg4 is checkmate. Mate in 2

i said Daruuk in the video.. you didnt watch the whole video :))
2:00 you can also move queen to d1 and then f3 and no matter what they wont be able to get to the queen in time

Not mate in 2
@Meowcenpassant yea me and pg were wrong
@Meowcenpassant I was gonna say that
4:55 RG2 to RF2 is check and if knight takes queen takes knight for a checkmate with the bishop watching the queen.
Bro the pony can't take da rukh cuz the queen also checks the king 👑 and it's a double check
King can go to G1 after RG2 to F2.

Unfortunately, in your solution Ke2 is the escape. I was thinking about Kxd1. Next move is always mate.
0:00 just tell me how did the bishop get there?its lock with front side by queen and the back for his own king and other both sides rook
1:24 Discovery checkmate is the best

Black bishop to g2 blocks white bishop. So not checkmate.

1:10 The rook move is good but they was the quicker way taking the bishop with the qeen because he can’t take with the queen because it’s pinned.

In the last puzzle, you could have just have moved the rook to g1, then when the king moves to e2, you can move your white squared bishop to f1, checkmate.
Rg1+ is a double check and those end up usually in a winning position in endgames.

2:00 isnt qh1 just mate? ok nvm its a 2 move checkmate

But the coordinates on the board already tell you which direction the pieces are travelling though.
The second puzzle had another mate in 2. Rook G2 pinning the king. 2nd move King F2 discovery checkmate.
Black Qa7. Now the white king cannot move to F2
In the last there is mate in 1 rook g1 is actually checkmate because the bishop protects the rook the queen protects e1 and the bishop is also attacking the king(but cool mate in 2)
2:49 what if he takes the b7 pawn using queen
Why not for the last puzzle do king takes knight than queen checkmate?
I’m too lazy to figure out if the first one can be solved by the queen taking the bishop but I think it would work.
In the last puzzle there is a another answer rf2 is a chek with rock and bishop there id only two moves 1 if kq1 the Qe1 is a cheek mate and if ke1 the nc2 is chek mate
Qe1 is not possible because the rook is on f2

actually has mate in 2

Whatever the opponent plays can't stop it
2).move king behind the rook
