@@mrhacker4798 thx for the reminder now my answer is:b5, if It's Rc4 or Qd4 you just play Rg3 or pit it in the 3rd rank where the king can't eat Edit: and if Qc4 It will be the same thing
Jeetendra, I'm sorry to hear of your difficulties but I'm relieved you've found a way to work through them and keep producing great content. I really enjoy your videos and I look forward to each one. Namaste from America!
First puzzle was good example of zugzwang. Zugzwang is easy when you focus properly to reach a position where a side is forced to play a certain move. Also, when a puzzle has long solution, it's always easy cause it involves some pattern. Qe3 was logical for a player like me. Second one was easy for human but difficult for computer. One of the famous puzzle composed by William Rudolph (1912), I saw it before on RU-vid long time back and since my memory great I knew Ba4+ and the pattern. You selected nice ones. Over to that I haven't played for long and am going to make comeback on Lichess. For puzzle: We need to force Black to a zugzwang position where any possible move is a bad move. So, not a check move. White Bishop is x-raying the Black King. It has to be used but not possible on first move if we are to do mate in 2. If the d4 square was occupied, it would be Re3# Black has Rook and Queen so how to immobilise them? What about Qa8? It pins one piece and forces Black to play something. After Qa8, If Black plays Qd4 then Re3# If any move that takes control away of c5 square, then Nc5# If any move that takes control away of d6 square, then Nd6#
@UCz2y1xp3PhnItLiNxgK0oTQ I know, it's a weird move, and nobody would play it in a normal game, everybody would just go for a mate in 3 or whatever. Basically, after Qa8, Black is in zugzwang - he can only move either the Queen or the Rook, and because he has to make a move, he ruins his "perfect" defensive formation. Whatever piece he moves, he stops defending either the d6 or the c5 square, allowing White to mate with either Nd6 or Nc5. Unless Black plays Qd4, still defending both squares, but then it's just Re3 mate.
Solution to puzzle is pawn b6+ if queen blocks then Re3# double check rook defended by bishop queen blocks king and if rook blocks then Rc3# bishops cover diagonal rook blocks 3rd rank
The move is Nf5 because that will block the kings only safe square to run, then black can play whatever move they want to, and in the next move Re3 double check is mate.
The checkmate for puzzle at 9:09 is as follows- 1. White's turn - pawn from b4 to b5, discovered check 2. Black's Turn - Queen to d4, the only legal move 3. White's turn - Rook from f3 to e3 is a checkmate
❗❗❗ I have found a way to checkmate in 2 moves which no one has commented till yet (this outcome depends on a move which black has to play to go in white's favour). Here it is - Case 1 - The Knight of b7 to be played at c5, which gives a check; if black captures the knight with his queen, then pawn at b4 captures black queen at c5, and it is a checkmate#. Case 2(Sorry but this is mate in 3) - Now if black takes the knight with his rook, then white again captures the rook with the pawn, and it is a discovered check. Black may bring his queen at c4 to defend, but white queen captures it and it is a checkmate#. If black queen moves to d4, white rook at f3 moves to e3 and it is a checkmate#. I found that these are the only two winning possibilities for white. It is nearly impossible for me to find mate in 2. Dear ChessTalk if you reading my comment can you please confirm my answer? It will be great to know ❤️
Solution for the last puzzle: 1. White knight checks the black king Black uses the room or the queen to take out the white knight (it doesn't matter which piece) 2. White pawn takes out the piece that's used by black in the previous turn, to reveal a checkmate by the white queen.
9:04 b5 discovered check from Q : now only 3 moves possible for black : 1- Qd4 blocking check -> white will simply play Ra3 with a discovered check from Bg2 which is # 2- Qc4 blocking check -> white will simply play Ra3 with a discovered check from Bg2 which is # 3- Rc4 blocking check -> white will simply play Ra3 with a discovered check from Bg2 which is #
First white Pawn B4 to B5 and Give check with queen Black King can not move than Black is move Rook C6 to C4 OR Queen D5 to D4 than White Rook F3 to C3 and Check Mate
9:02 Queen takes rook leaving black's only best move Kd4 (pinning the queen), if black takes queen Knight captures being left with only 2pawns and a dream. after black Kd4, white queen captures queen ending with #
1 Qa8 and irrespective of what he moves and where he moves, it's checkmate next move Let's say he moves Rook, anywhere on the c file, then Nd6 is a checkmate. If he doesn't move rook and instead moves queen to guard the d6 square, we deliver a mate by Nc5 and if he tries to cover c5 square we deliver a mate by Nd6. 1Qa8 R(anywhere on c file ) 2 Nd6# 1Qa8 R(anywhere on 6th Rank) 2 Nc5# 1Qa8 Qc4 2 Nd6# 1Qa8 Qe6 2 Nc5# 1Qa8 Qd4(trying to guard both d6 and c5) 2 Re3# 1Qa8 Q(anywhere else on d file) 2 Nc5#
I found the way to solve the puzzle first horse c5 then black only have 2 choices 1.rook c5 or 2.queen c5 then white move soldier to c5 thats a check mate
The correct answer is:- 1. White Knight e7 to f5 Black moves queen or rook anywhere, doesn't matter. 2. White Rf3 to e3 is a double check and is a checkmate.
This puzzle was given to Magnus during CGC championship in video Tania presented this and magnus also took around a min . The solution is Qa8 and depending on what black plays Nc5 or Nd6 is mate
Qa8 and then no matter what he plays he cannot block the checkamate of the knight on two squares d6 or c5 and that's mate even if black tried to keep the queen on the d file still rook e3 is a mate
Nc5 is not mate if the rook stays on the c file. It would only be mate if the rook moved to Nc5 then your capture would be mate. But if the rook moves to say c1 it could move back and take the Knight on c5 Hmmm and that leads to a Queens sac mate. Rc1, Nc5, Rxc5, Bxc5 (hanging your own Queen) QxQ, Re3#
@UCz2y1xp3PhnItLiNxgK0oTQthe theme of all these puzzles is forced moves. None of blacks peices can move except the rook or queen, then mate is forced in 2. It is a dead lost position either way it is mate 20 different ways but only 1 mate in 2
1st move is knight to C5, since the king cannot move black has to capture the knight with his queen or rook, after that we will capture the black's queen or rook by pawn to C5, and it is a discovered checkmate since the king cannot move anywhere
Sir I have a doubt about the 2nd puzzle that you have explained the doubt is that in the start all the pawns are dioglal to each other so it might be possible that even if you give check to the king with white pawns the black pawns can capture the white pawns with the legal rule EN-PASSANT. Can you kindly solve my doubt??
1. Knight E7 to C6-----Taking the Rook. 2. a) If Black Queen takes the knight at C6. Queen A4 to C6-----Check and Mate. b) In any other case... Rook F3 to E3------Check and Mate (Double check by Rook E3 and Bishop G2 so the king has to move but the is no square left).
Looking through the comments I'm pretty sure I solved it first! I really enjoyed this puzzle, but I definitely saw that double check forced King move right away. Took me longer to see the obvious checkmate Knight to F5. Lol.
The answer of the puzzle is Qa8 now probably black only have one best move Qd4 even though then Re3 checkmate ........ Actually no matter what black plays after white plays. Qa8 it leads to checkmate in next move
1. b5,+ King unable to move, so need to block either with Rook or Queen, if Rc4, 2. Rc3, + also Bishop at g2 open check, checkmate. If 1. b5,+ if Queen c4 or d4, 2. Rc3, + the same finishing
First we need to move b4 pawn to b5 square and gave black king check with queen he block the check with queen and then we need to move b7 horse to b6 and then checkmate
1st puzzle better solution - White - Qf4 to Qf6 check Black has two options - 1. Qg5 or g5 in both cases queen cannot escape. now, White -Qf2 Black has only one option - Qg3 White picks up the queen and BOOM checkmate!
I found checkmate for the last puzzle!!! First, the knight on b7 goes to c5, attacking the king. If black takes the knight (which they have to) with the queen, then move the pawn on b4 and take the queen! King cannot move anywhere. If black takes your knight with the rook, move your pawn and take the black rook. Check! The queen has to move in front of the king (to block the attack from the queen) and from there, move your rook to e3. Queen cannot take, g2 bishop checks the king, and he can’t take the rook as it is protected by the g1 bishop.
Hello Chess talk last puzzle or mate in 2 ans is b5 discovered check and king has nowhere to move so it will block with queen then Qd4 is a brilliant checkmate
Last Puzzle answer... White moves Rook f3 to e3 and its double check from rook e3 and bishop... Black cant play pawn f4 , the only move it can play is Black King to d4.... Now white's second and final move is Knight e7 to f5.. Check mate... In Simple Term... White - f3 to e3 Black (Forced) - e4 to d4 White - e7 to f5
@@moneybhai6952 @moneybhai6952 lamo bro i think you misread my comment... i only said two moves for white... same as you answered... besides your move is not mate when Rf4 , black king can go d3 instead f4
rook to a3 giving a check to the king and then the king blocks with the pawn and then we take by bishop and checkmate. thank you for giving such an amazing puzzle
The solution should be→ 1) Nxc6, Qxc6, Qxc6 or, 2) Nxc6, (except Qxc6 whatever black plays), Re3. Explanation: White starts with Knight takes Rook on c6 (Nxc6). Then black can take the white knight with his Queen or refuse to take. If black queen takes white knight on c6 (Qxc6) then white queen takes back the black queen on c6 (Qxc6) and it's a mate. If black refuses to take the knight & play any other move, then white will just move his Rook on e3 square (Re3) with a double check, by rook & discovered check by white squared bishop. And the black king must loose his kingdom....
