5:13, what about black trying to castle on queen side (after shifting queen on very next move)? It was very good move by black and could have turned the table

I think that the temptation of Nxc2+ is always too great for a weak player like I. I see it as a mini-checkmate - a major piece for a knight or nothing, if you can get him out again. But if I'm fixated on it, my opponent will attack on the kingside. These are wonderful videos. Thank you.
@@PixelatedDude knight back to f3 as an intermediary move before finalizing your mating threat. Otherwise you can capture qxe3 as move one and then move it back to the corner, black has almost no way of stopping you (g5 would weaken his position too much in the long term even if it stops the immediate mating threat)
@@AkshaySingh-hv7ec OK? Two questions!! Why not answering Nxg6 with Rxg6! and Withe is lost! And second question is, mate in 4 is your "option" and the target was mate in 3 :-))
Kindly provide white’s next move if after Knightf3 black responded with knight g5? I’ve been struggling to find out the best reply by white. Thank you very much, sir and more power.
You just take on g5 threatening mate on h7. black has to give up the rook. Then mate on g7 is unstoppable. A quicker mate is Rh1! avoiding issues with g5
Rh1 Qxh7+ Kg1++ Interesting since several other move orders don't work. If you give black 1 extra tempo, the king can slip away, however on-board black has no useful moves and MUST defend g7++ with the rook
5:46 why you want to do Rf8, king can easily escape d2 -> c1 then after knight sacrifice at max, rest of the logic doesn't make sense. Also no one would keep bishop to c4 for such long, seeing these attack it can be easily eliminated, may be pushing pawn to d5 earlier
I didn't find either of the solutions given by other people here, which were Nf3 or Rh1, and both moves seem like valid and excellent solutions within my mediocre/impatient puzzle solving abilities. However, I did find a move for black which may technically break the puzzle for either solution, by forcing white to either mate in two, or then be unable to do any move that mates on the third. The move in either case is 1 .. Rg7??! Whatever white did for his first move, he must now capture the rook on g7 with his queen for a checkmate in two. Capturing with the pawn allows the black king an escape square on g8, from which there is no mate possible on white's third move. In fact white would blunder and lose his queen and the game if he pre-moved 2.Qxh7 on the 1.Rh1 variant. Thus the puzzle may need to state "mate in three moves or less" (or similar) to avoid pedants calling foul, but the only people I can think of who would disqualify a 2-move mate as a valid solution to a "mate in 3" puzzle are insurance brokers, gambling bookmakers, or FIDE representatives.
It's always mate in the stated number of moves, against the defence that holds out the longest. If Black wishes to commit suicide and play 1....Rg7(?), it just means White achieves the goal quicker.
h3 was an innacuracy by Fischer! He could play fxe5 and force Bxf3 avoinding h3 and thus saving a tempo (if you do not take the night and instead you capture back on e5 then bxf7+ Kxf7 Nxe5 forking king and bishop).
1. Nxg6+ fxg6 2.f7 Rf8 3.Qxf8# OR 2. f7 Qxf7 3.Rxf7 ( any random move for black ) Qxh7# OR 2. f7 (random move) 3. f8=Q RxQf8 4. Qxf8# plus you have even more possibilities which still end in an inevitable checkmate.
It all seems fine in theory, but what if black responses 4... d5! ? Things aren't so easy for white after this move, position is very complex and there are threats from black too.
Knight to G6, pawn must take knight ; Pawn to F7, Quen takes pawn, Rook takes queen...then no matter what black does the gig is up... Queen takes pawn H7 mate. Thank you ! It was fun.
@@GollumGollum1000 Well, I've realized long ago that it's pointless to discuss or disagree with an idiot or someone who's basking in ignorance, because firstly they'd drag you down to their own perilous level and then, ultimately, they'll be victorious due to their lifetime of experience performing 🎭
@@GollumGollum1000 Post Script: I beg to differ. Completely! The word "transpose" as used in Chess is descriptive of an alternative method for either defending or otherwise attacking the position currently indicated that will nonetheless be stressed and is forthcoming. "Happy Father's Day"
@@GollumGollum1000 Bwaah, haah, haah, haah!!!! Thank you. 😊 you just proved that point! You're completely ignoring all that was said so that you could make an ill thought of supposedly snazzy retort! That's the aforementioned attempt to bring the discussion down on your level! You're wrong about the opening and I showed you that, but you're far too experienced in the ignorance and unacademic arena for me to even consider trying to open your eyes. YOU WIN! IT'S A BEAUTIFUL BISHOPS OPENING. Thank you for clarification on opening Chess theory. Happy belated Father's day and have a great Juneteenth. 🍾🥂
Puzzle: Knight e5 takes pawn g6. Pawn f7 takes Knight g6. Pawn f6 to f7… 1) If Queen b7 takes the pawn f7. Rook g1 is ready to take Queen back. Any move black makes after that. Queen h6 takes pawn h7 and it’s checkmate. 2) If Rook g8 moves to f8, then Queen h6 takes Rook f8 and it’s checkmate.
