What Inferno has in mind is that after 4. ....Ke7 there is 5. Nf5+ forking the black king and rook and directly forcing a trade of rooks after which White will be up a knight. Instead 5. Nb5 is recommended and I would like to know why it is better than 5. Nb5
If someone is confused on why not all pieces that attacked multiple other pieces are forks, a fork is a piece that attacks 2 pieces that would reward material
I mean, it's even better. 1. Nf5+, Kxd8; 2. Nxd4, Ke7; 3. Kg3, Kf6 Then we have the killer: 4. Kf4... Black is on zugzwang, d5 pawn is blockaded and White is going to push f and g pawns
For number 8 the whole sequence only wins one pawn because thier knight takes your pawn at the end, meaning the WAY simpler bxh5 which wins one pawn is just as good
I myself thought that 1. Bxa5! at the beginning must win at least a rook because the queen is overloaded with preventing mate on g7. It looks to me like Bxa5 is close to leading to mate because of all kinds of possible checks and discovered attacks on the black king.
@@renehenriksen1735did you see the NXg4? Moves like Qa7 and black looks fine( I am really low rating on chess) I mean BXA5 Qa7 Qg3 Ne4. Now Queen must leave g file and Qxa5. I may miss something I just see on my eyes and I am low rating
0:35 The black queen is also forking the white bishop and the white pawn and the white queen is also forking the rook and the knight. After Knight takes h5, White Bishop takes e8, if Rook takes Bishop then Queen takes Rook. After all this, White Pawn takes knight
On Puzzle 8, Another way to go would be: white bishop should capture the black pawn on his left as this move attacks black's queen and rook. So if black captures with queen its mate with white queen. If black moves the queen then white capture the rook first, then if black queen leaves row 7 its game over, if queen does not leave that row then white captures black pawn with rook on row D, forcing the queen out of row 7.
@@r3ktsoldier8If you look at the position carefully the knight can escape via b3 since there's no a and c pawn anymore and then escape to d4, the light square bishop could try to stop it but black can challenge the light square bishop with its own light square bishop and the knight will eventually escape
Can anyone tell me.. In puzzle 2 the white could have defended from the fork if he place bishop on c1 instead of capturing the queen or Could even place its knight on b1
Puzzle 8: why not bishop takes a5 pinning queen & rook? Black queen can only go to D7 if it wants to protect the rook. But then we hit D5 with our rook and the queen is attacked again. If the queen moves to any other square on the 7th file then we take the rook for free AND we then can drop our knight to E7 check, protected by our bishop. If not the knight we can take the f6 pawn for free...
Zach I got all of the puzzles lol there were a couple which were hard like the underpromotion to the knight but I eventually found it (in like 10 mins or so)
on level 8 couldn't you play bishop a5 to skewer the queen and rook to win a rook because the queen can't come off of the 7 file because of the mate threat
Puzzle 8, why cant we go Ba5? Threatening queen? Only option Qd7 or Qe7(Ne7) to save black Rook! So if Qd7 , Rd5 threatening queen! So queen has to retreat! Mate or queen for rook. OR Queen takes bishop , then Qg7#
Level 8 is pointless If you take the pawn on the A file with your Bishop and skewer the Queen and Rook, you win a full Rook, because the Queen cannot take, otherwise white has mate.
You know what after Bb7 Rc7 Rd1 Nb3 Rc3 and Nxc5 wins a pawn lmao, though you don't fork a rook and a bishop you fork a pawn and a rook but yeah you are correct this doesn't win a piece
can anyone explain to me in round 8 isnt there a skewer with the bishop on the queen and rook as its brilliant cuz ur sacking a bishop but if queen takes then its mate as the queen is deflected off the square although if the queen doesnt take and moves away then we get the rook and are winning an exchange ? am i right plz do tell
Puzzle2 black don't have any advantage at all. Black knight is trapped, at the end, after some trades stockfish see it as bishop and 2 pawns for a rook +0.2-0.3 for white(so basically drawn position).
