Well yeah, once he basically gives it away. The same idea was MUCH better, presented in the Russian Chess Primer, where the author gave no hint of the solution, and you had to think "what the hell am I missing re an obvious mate in one?" for awhile, to see what was required to make the puzzle possibly solvable.
1:17 hypothetically speaking, if there is no rook on b7, the pawn still can't capture the pawn on e6 because the black king is in check by the bishop on b2 if the pawn were to move (again, assuming there was no rook on b7), it could only go f6, not fxe6.
@@luqmaanhay4957 yes, that's correct. i was just pointing out that the reason the pawn can't take the pawn is not actually the pin (as implied in the video), but rather, the bishop check if you were to remove that rook, the capture wouldn't still be possible
1. Tell yourself it's mate in one every move 2. If it's mate in one, you will find the mate 3. If it's not mate in one, you will not find the move 4. On step 3, rinse and repeat until you get a mate in one
I literally found every checkmate pretty fast, first one was easy mainly because I already knew the answer (I solved this puzzle a long time ago). I'm not lying by the way. Finding M1 is pretty easy if enemy's king can't move, or if... SPOILER ALERT ...its moves indicate what piece has to give a check :)
It would be nice if the first one was so constructed so that we could logically prove (by retroanalysis) that the previous move was the double pawn push. In the second position, the blind spot (at least for me) was that the Queen was pinned, so cannot move! In the fourth position, BOTH rooks could intercept, destroying the checkmate if the knight went to the wrong square. In te fifth position, Qa2+ doesn't work, since the rook can intercept it. However, if that answer is found, the correct solution would be trivial.
Third puzzle (how not to checkmate in one move) I did found the solution (Rc6), but I did think of another possibility first, namely to resign. Technically not a legal move though (for instance, stalemate is not avoided by the possibility to resign).
2 move checkmate: g5 takes g6, g7 moves to h8 to avoid danger, g6 moves to g8, it is checkmate as the horse on h6 is protecting the queen. (edit: the 2 move checkmate I was talking about was for the first puzzle, white moves first)
7:06 - 7:59 It bothers me how he kept forgetting that there is another rook on h3 that can come to b3 and cover the check and that Nc3# blocks both rooks from blocking
Qb7 for second puzzle. I'm not entirely sure, but Black's Queen is on b1 and it cannot stop d7. White's Bishop on h1 gives the White Queen protection so Black's King cannot take. The Black Bishop on g8 is pinned. I think it's checkmate and Black loses.
Hey @Chessscape ! for the first puzzle isn't Qf6 also a mate in one? I'm a beginner in chess and I've been trying to figure it out since an hour. Anyone please help.
I managed the first puzzle because I immediately noticed the bishop that would have checkmated if the pawn wasn't there, so I thought of en passant as the only possible solution.
Without watching the Solution of the first puzzle only the first 20 seconds, „you habe to know blacks last move“ that is quite a big hint, obviously it has to be a en passant, and the only possible en Passant i see here is with the pawn on d5
Listen, I’ve never had the chance of commenting early, but I just what to say, when I herd ur voice in the short, then saw what you actually look, and you look totally different 💀💀
If you've been watching the previous vids, you should've been able to instantly solve the first one 😎
Fr, en passant
true
💯
I did
So true
The second he says "only way to find solution is to know the last move" I knew that the first puzzle solution was dxe6 en passant checkmate.
Same it was the easiest of the bunch tbh
wrong. its actually called en croissant
Me aswell
mw aswell

Who else feels like magnus carlsen every time they solve these chess puzzles💀
Me fr🦅
4:26 Sounds like me when I try and find mate: (Finds only move that doesnt lead to checkmate)
why couldnt you just move the king?
@@Icantfindanoriginalhandlethe king cant move
@Icantfindanoriginalhandle bro think before you say
1:17 hypothetically speaking, if there is no rook on b7, the pawn still can't capture the pawn on e6 because the black king is in check by the bishop on b2
if the pawn were to move (again, assuming there was no rook on b7), it could only go f6, not fxe6.
But then it would be mate in 2, not 1
@@luqmaanhay4957 yes, that's correct. i was just pointing out that the reason the pawn can't take the pawn is not actually the pin (as implied in the video), but rather, the bishop check

I got all of these correct. I can now say that I can find any mate in 1 as long as I am told it's mate in 1.
1. Tell yourself it's mate in one every move
2. If it's mate in one, you will find the mate
3. If it's not mate in one, you will not find the move
4. On step 3, rinse and repeat until you get a mate in one
@@danielyuan9862 how to win every game
Same
Yes! Please post more mate in 1 content! Love it!
sure 😉
1:17 Why can't we just queen f6 ???? I said that instantly and im still confuse
King to h6 not a mate
I literally found every checkmate pretty fast, first one was easy mainly because I already knew the answer (I solved this puzzle a long time ago).
I'm not lying by the way. Finding M1 is pretty easy if enemy's king can't move, or if...
SPOILER ALERT
...its moves indicate what piece has to give a check :)
Found checkmate within 1 minute after looking for checks after accidentally looking for them instead of checkmate.
In 3rd puzzle we can not checkmate in 1 move, if we move rook to h6 then black can block the checkmate by pushing the pawn from g5 to g6
erm the pawns are going down not up
It would be nice if the first one was so constructed so that we could logically prove (by retroanalysis) that the previous move was the double pawn push.

In the 5th puzzle (9:10) knight g7 check mate right
Im also thinking that
You can't move that knight because it's pinned by the rook.
2:02 Rxg8 easy enough (M2)
Edit: 5:18 Rc6 blocks the discovery from the bishop so the rook on b7 can take
"Only one move to not checkmate the king"
Move king from g8 to f8 💀
So checking yourself is an option now ig
THERE IS A BISHOP
Bishop on c5: "Am I a joke to you? 🙎"
, queen
Where is the dark bishop in the not checkmating in one move part?
7:29 rook on h3: I Can block the bishop checks like my brother on c1
I found the last one in 2 seconds, but couldn't find any of the previous ones lmao
Hi, I like your vids and I have a question. Instead of doing qc4 can’t you do kg7 in 9:11. Keep up the great work btw.
Нет это не мат он F6
Wdym by "In 911" 😟
For the first one, I’m kinda confused why Qf6 isn’t mate. I stared at it for a while and I still don’t know. Can someone explain?
"Think about the last move made by black"
Me: EN PASSANT
Me solving these puzzles: easy 🗿🍷
Me while playing real games: h4 h5 go brrrr
Third puzzle (how not to checkmate in one move) I did found the solution (Rc6), but I did think of another possibility first, namely to resign. Technically not a legal move though (for instance, stalemate is not avoided by the possibility to resign).
2 move checkmate: g5 takes g6, g7 moves to h8 to avoid danger, g6 moves to g8, it is checkmate as the horse on h6 is protecting the queen.
(edit: the 2 move checkmate I was talking about was for the first puzzle, white moves first)
In the fifth puzzle if u moved the knight to c7 it would have also been checkmate
5:38 checkmate with bishop to from A8 to B7
9:13 knight e8 to g7 checkmate
Ng7 and nc7 are both mates
@@crackedleopardI was about to say that but you beat me to the punch
Actually, knight from e8 to g7 is impossible because it is pinned by the rook.
@@minecrafterandmoregames9989oh dang your right
@@crackedleopard ITS FUCKING PINNED
5:00 ah yes, from M1, to NOT M1.
The title is right😂
On the fifth puzzle, wouldn't Knight to c7 or g7 also be mate?
On 8:52, aren't Ng7# and Nc7#?
Knight is pinned... it cant move
@@kaybyubii thanks
Bro I solved the all the five questions except for the 2th
@Chessscape The puzzle at 08:00 minute mark in your video, isn’t knight to g7 checkmate as well? I didn’t spot the queen move though…
That s also an answer
how?! the rook covers right
No, you must have misplaced the rook on b8 😅
And the rook on h4 too because both knight to c7 and knight to g7 work
Oh we missed the pin I juste realised
I like that last one - the only way out of a double check is to move the King
um... in the how to not checkmate when you gave us the answer at around 5.55, can't you also move the white king?
bro just why he doesnt move the queen to F6 in the first problem
edit: im sorry i just noticed king can just take the knight and its not checkmate
1: dxe6#
2: Qb3#
3: Rc6+
4: Nc3#
5:Qc4#
6: g8=N#
7:06 - 7:59
It bothers me how he kept forgetting that there is another rook on h3 that can come to b3 and cover the check and that Nc3# blocks both rooks from blocking
i never thougt that finding mate in 1 was hard
Me too :/
What about 1. Nc7# in the puzzle where You moved Qc4#? Aren‘t there two correct solutions?
@user-mt2dp3ss6t You mean the rook on b8, but otherwise You're absolutely right!
For the 2nd puzzle what about Qg8 checkmate
Qb7 for second puzzle. I'm not entirely sure, but Black's Queen is on b1 and it cannot stop d7. White's Bishop on h1 gives the White Queen protection so Black's King cannot take. The Black Bishop on g8 is pinned. I think it's checkmate and Black loses.
On the second puzzle, somehow QB7 is also mate.
No, that is an illegal move. White will be in check if the white queen moves away from the diagonal, it is pinned by the black bishop on g8
Love this content!
More of these please
On the 1st one, could you do queen to F6 checkmate? Or am I just being blind
In the first, you van also move a Queen, no?
In the first one, What if the Rook on F1 takes the pawn on F7. Its a check, king has to go to h8 and Rook takes H7 is checkamate
Hey @Chessscape ! for the first puzzle isn't Qf6 also a mate in one? I'm a beginner in chess and I've been trying to figure it out since an hour. Anyone please help.
If Qf6+, king takes knight
I managed the first puzzle because I immediately noticed the bishop that would have checkmated if the pawn wasn't there, so I thought of en passant as the only possible solution.
nice thinking process 😎
@@chessscape did you see Qf6 checkmate on the first puzzle you cant block and you cant take andthe quee is on same diagnal?
5:50 that’s fine but if you move the king, it’s not checkmate either 😂
That's the problem, the king CAN'T MOVE BECAUSE OF THE BISHOP
For the first one couldn’t you just go Qf6# because it’s protected and is not being attacked by any piece but the king?
Maybe you can't believe this but i found every checkmates in just 5 second
03:20 -- Alternatively: Queen takes Bishop on G8 is also mate in one.
In the first one you just move de queen to f6 an its checkmate
you lose the knight on h6 😎
black takes the knight on edge and escapes
Is not.king takes knight on h6..
Kxh6
lad unoironically just hung a knight lmao
2:07 bro if he cover with the queen i can take the queen and its checkmate
thats mate in 2
The second one, i actually thought about it but i didnt relaize that knight on b7 is covering c8 square so i thought it wasnt mate lmao😂
in second puzzle we can just take bishp then take queen and checkmate why do we have to do the 1 move checkmate which is kinda harder to find.
9:03 Nc7 isnt mate too?
Knight is pinned by the rook, so it's an illegal move
In the first one, what stops you from doing qf6?
Edit: Nvm I see that the king could just take the knight.
9:12 if im not mistaken a6 is also checkmate
So is Nc7
Without watching the Solution of the first puzzle only the first 20 seconds, „you habe to know blacks last move“ that is quite a big hint, obviously it has to be a en passant, and the only possible en Passant i see here is with the pawn on d5
For the 3rd puzzle the position isn't even possible you can't have two light squared bishops
The chess puzzle which was set at 6:03 solution is Nc3
But what if you promote the other pawn, the pawn beside the rook?
5:39 knight to g3 is a checkmate
9:16 what about nc7
True. And ng7
9:11 I moved the queen diagonally where he put it I got it only in wrong direction/opposite dirrection
Chesscape: Train ur visualisation
Me: *when this is played in teh real game i resign*
Chesscape: 😡
in 2nd one you can also move the queen directly in front
Thanks soo much Bro I solved 5/6 its soo usefull ❣
Welcome 😊
1:08 but black could take the black rook on h7 right?
All of the puzzle is so easy. I solve them within 10 seconds
i ll come up with harder ones than 😅
On the third puzzle the bishops are on the same color 💀💀
The knight can also checkmate beacause the king is covering f7 and the other checkmate is kg7#
For the first one, the king can take the knight
Chess bites saved me 👁️👄👁️
puzzle 1 checkmate in 1 move 2 ways to checkmate
what?
Rc6 cancel the pin which allows the enemy rock take the bishop
For the first one isn’t Queen f6 mate?
I felt really proud of myself solving some until he said they were the easy ones
9:29 pawn becomes knight chekmate
In the first one, checkmate was forced, cuz en passant.
Is the third one O-O, assuming I am playing chess 960 and haven't moved the king?
for the first puzzle why didn't Qf6 work?
King can just take knight and escape that way
In the first puzzle you can move the queen to f6 and its checkmate
Apart from 1 and 3, I saw the other ones within 5 seconds of looking into it.
In last second puzzle u can checkmate with the knight on d8
In the rook takes bishop scenario or the bishop check scenario the queen is absolutely undefended
You can also play Qb7#, the queen is protected by the bishop, and the knights are protected by the queen
No you cannot.. The Queen is pinned by the black Bishop. She can only move back diagonally.
@@MWENSE1983 my bad, i think i skipped the video and didn't realize it
2:32 your brain really tricks you when seeing the puzzle (if its an actual game then this would be easy (only if they dont notice that one rook)
Night.. C7 is another checkmate for the puzzle 3
I saw night c7 too
He should’ve seen it
Chesscape, you should do an il vaticano puzzle or even a dea dei cavalli, it teaches people new moves and it would be very good for improvement
What about the king move not to checkmate
5:25 has bishops on both white square
Weird under promotion 😂
If you moved your knight to c7 in fifth puzzle it would have also been checkmate
I might be wrong but on the fifth one isn’t knight g7 checkmate?
YEAH I THINK IT'S ALSO A CHECKMATE
Why does it matter if you checkmate in two moves instead of one? You still win.
the first one was really easy, you could just move the queen to F6
The won where the King couldnt move and gets msted With the Queen can also be done With the Horse to b7
5:44 what about king f8?
That’s the only positions Martin is better than us
Listen, I’ve never had the chance of commenting early, but I just what to say, when I herd ur voice in the short, then saw what you actually look, and you look totally different 💀💀
GREAT VID this really helps and I can see these stuff better in chess games now!
