This video took me over 8 hours, so I would really appreciate it if you could subscribe :) A brilliant chess puzzle where white wins a rook and a queen with a single knight: ruclips.net/video/kS8dS45OOzo/видео.html
Checkmate can also happen in one move. The white pawn on G4 must move to G5. The G file is protected by the Queen on G8, and the Pawn on H5 is protected by the rook on H3. Black's own pawn is on H7, but even if it wasn't the Queen on G8 is always present. By this, the King on H6 is checkmated. If there are any escape squares, you're welcome. Turns out the 8 hour editing and 7 minute video wasn't needed at all.
@@sumedhshah7047 White's king is in check the whole time until the end so G5 is not possible Other than if you commented this the 1st second you saw the video I don't understand how there is such confusion
Thank you for this video, I am CONSTANTLY finding myself in a position where I am +29 but need to sacrifice 10 pieces in order to win and now I know how to do it.
I remember when someone got my king in a fortress, surrounded with my pawns, blocked by his pawns, there was a bishop, a rook, together, they made my king unable to move. Only my rook could move, and I remembered _sepuku stalemate_ tutorial, so I decided, that I CAN FORCE stalemate, by checking king with my rook. My opponent took it and it was a draw lmao.
I've had that happen in tournament lol. My opponent was frustrated, but I thought it was awesome. Of course, it was way simpler than the likes of this puzzle
True, though also this position would never appear in a grandmaster game as (a) black would have resigned ages ago due to the material disadvantage and (b) white would probably be too smart to get into this kind of desparado stalemate-or-perpetual-check scenario.
queen in regular games: a very powerful and useful piece, but also you have to be very careful queen in this puzzle: a random piece that makes you stalemate your opponent
Stockfish can't find a win. Lc0 can't find a win. Stockfish says - 0.00, Leela tries to take a pawn on e4 on 14th move and doesn't understand that would be a draw. Stockish starts to see a win only from 15th move.
Actually, it is kind of simple though. The obvious mistake to make in this puzzle is wanting to capture the rook when it would result in stalemate instead of white winning, so you _have_ to go along with perpetual checks until you reach a position in which you force the rook to make some more space to prevent the stalemate ending. Not that hard to grasp, but much harder to see the solution when playing obviously.
@@PHeMoX Well you can see the general idea pretty easily but the small stuff like getting rid of the a2 pawn in order for you to not have to capture the rook after rb1 check like 50 moves beforehand is almost impossible to see.
@@PHeMoX It is not that simple because you have to avoid draw by repetition as well. It is such a sharp puzzle that needs the correct sacrifices at the correct time or else you run into perpetual pretty easily
I remember a tournament game, it was a blitz and I didn't deserve a draw but he blundered from time a bit and I forced a stalemate, it is such a cheeky thing to do and I love it! He was like shrugs and took my last moved pawn which now all were blockaded lol
Does anyone feel as annoyed as me when the Rook keep checking the King even there are so many pieces but all of them can not do anything to the Rook? :((
@@gamenyte it would result in stalemate because the enemy king can't move. This is because in chess, your king *cannot* move into check. It is simply a rule. Therefore, with the pawns being blocked and unable to go forward and the black king being surrounded on all sides with no-go zones, the rook is the only thing that can be moved and thus the black rook cannot be captured if White wants to win.
The amazing thing is that the initial position doesn't even look that hugely contrived, aside from white's _huge_ material advantage. The pieces are all in fairly natural spots, and even black's previous move (rook to b3) is a natural attempt to force stalemate... holy shit, what a whirlwind.
some people say its M106 for white, but the final position (pawn endgame) is not a win, just a winning position, so it takes some more moves for white to win. I checked with stockfish, and after Kc4 it's M13, so 106+13= M119
Yknow, I had a moment like this in a real game of mine. Except the game was only 10 moves long and I blundered my queen immediately until I got checkmated. But close enough
I thought it was just gonna be “rook takes pawn check and then rook takes rook check and so on” and taking pieces on every black’s move, boy was I wrong
It would be interesting to see an analysis of why the engine doesn't like certain rook checks ( for example 0:52 , why no e7 check?). I mean, black couldn't possibly win here, right? Or could it force the queen to e6 with the black king escaping stalemate position? White queen to e6 is both a check block and a check to black king. Seems like a potentially highly crucial move for black actually. There's a potential for the black king to capture quite a few pieces before white reaches a checkmate position. White would remain a heavy favourite all the way through. But it would not end in white having 1 pawn, a queen and two rooks vs black just one pawn in checkmate.
@@junwei8480 I mean it is very possible that black will blunder in the first dozen moves and in that case I can win, but if black plays the perfect defence I won't have found the strategy to win

The weird thing is that white could have took rook with bishop 10x over

I can’t believe that even you could not comprehend the puzzle, as you are so skilled. That means This puzzle must be hard
Well tbh I did, although it was very difficult (to see why white must give up his A2 pawn before capturing on E4)

Damn, I don't think if anyone (even super GMs) got in this position they would go "Oh, this is not a draw, I can escape the perpetual checks"
True, though also this position would never appear in a grandmaster game as (a) black would have resigned ages ago due to the material disadvantage and (b) white would probably be too smart to get into this kind of desparado stalemate-or-perpetual-check scenario.
They wouldnt get in such a position
I think I need an aspirin after this video, my head hasn't hurt this much in years
queen in regular games: a very powerful and useful piece, but also you have to be very careful
queen in this puzzle: a random piece that makes you stalemate your opponent
"give up 10 pieces to win"
me when i'm losing: give up all of my pieces to make my opponent stalemate me
Alpha would find this over the board.
Stockfish can't find a win. Lc0 can't find a win. Stockfish says - 0.00, Leela tries to take a pawn on e4 on 14th move and doesn't understand that would be a draw. Stockish starts to see a win only from 15th move.

LOL .. same 😂
I knew it was going to be something serious since the video is over 7 minutes and the title mentions 10 sacrifices, but man... what the hell is this?!
If I ever get in a situation like this, I'll probably re consider my life choices and accept a draw instead of being chased for an eternity.
Imagine losing almost all the pieces for nothing and then playing only the best moves over two hundred times
Me with White: Ok, I'll settle for a draw.
So that of course was brilliant, but the real question is: "how did we get to this position in the first place?" 🤔
looks pretty doable. you probably wouldn’t get there on purpose but it isn’t impossible like some puzzles
I remember a tournament game, it was a blitz and I didn't deserve a draw but he blundered from time a bit and I forced a stalemate, it is such a cheeky thing to do and I love it! He was like shrugs and took my last moved pawn which now all were blockaded lol
"White has a winning endgame after giving up ten pieces in the last ninety moves."
Did you win?
White : YES
What did it Cost?
White : 10 pieces and 1 lac brain cells
Does anyone feel as annoyed as me when the Rook keep checking the King even there are so many pieces but all of them can not do anything to the Rook? :((
Yup, the only piece that could have helped and avoided stalemate was the queen
Immortal rook
Dude its beyond me why that bishop couldnt just take the rook... I DONT FREAKIN KNOW

@@UncleMerlin that’s what I’m wondering though. How are the black pawns pinned?
this is why you dont allow opponent king in stalemate

I'll *check* this video out
Next video, mate in 514 from the starting position
So grateful for the rook to encourage the king to exercise, ignoring the fact that the rook assassinated almost all of the king's pieces.
It's like a duel between two bored gods.
Most brilliant thing I’ve seen in a while. Glad I subbed!
When you realise you can sack the queen on the first move and win
It's check though?
The title on the homepage tricked me, it said:
An AMAZING Chess Puzzle where White must give up...
This is what it’s like to play the stealth missions while maintaining stealth
Everything I think I could be good at chess, I watch these videos to give me a reality check and realise....
I bloody hate chess, it hurts my brain
Stockfish be like: yeah this is mate in 237 moves
This is the literal defination of suffering from success
Black Rook be like : I am going on a killing spree hey boiiii.
It was one of the best puzzles you ever solved. I cannot stop watching it.
*explained, I would have no chance of solving this without seeing the solution first
this is how big my jaw is after i saw this video:
its still going
still not the end
it will not stop for 30 seconds
ok this is how big my jaw is
"See, you missed the mate in 37 with that move"
The game is still easily winnable without having to follow this exact sequence of moves
Poor white king he must be suffering from PTSD after this game
stockfish will never understand this position even if chess is solved because what kind of min max algorithm can find this position
you: just an NM finding brilliant puzzles
me: just a 1004 rapid player that usually makes blunders
you receive: losing position
i receive: a stalemate
that random brilliant rook move at around 4:28 tho
This just seems to be a weird chase scene with rook and king...
If this was me playing as white, I would have straight up blundered by taking the rook.
This guy explaining all this complex shit:
Me: Haha pieces go brrrr
all the 1200s would have run out of time before they could play this is a real game
Imagine getting this in a puzzle rush..
Yoooooo...I am so happy ...my favourite old voice is back
The best puzzle I have ever seen!
So that's what stockfish is trying to say when it shows missed win on the first moves
Yknow, I had a moment like this in a real game of mine. Except the game was only 10 moves long and I blundered my queen immediately until I got checkmated. But close enough
i would rather do a draw then doing this
by doing this you are forcing a draw
My brain hurts now lol
Ill would just take stalemate bro instead of thinking that much
"Draw?"
"Ok"
Rosen needs to see this
Amazing puzzle even stockfish cant solve it.
Nothing to say! Other than "brilliant" you are amazing!
:)
I thought it was just gonna be “rook takes pawn check and then rook takes rook check and so on” and taking pieces on every black’s move, boy was I wrong
The evaluation bar on this though
this dude escalated *very* quickly lol
One day my mind is going to blast after watching your Brilliant puzzles sir .
A reason to hate that stalemate isn't a win
I don't know if my brain is hurt or just tired? Don't do this to me! At least not too frequently.
Excellent and stay well.
We all knew this was coming.
The best sacrifice: the king sacrifice.
Can you imagine this shit happening in a bullet game
this is insane.. btw i like the tts boi, makes the video more funny imo
