its already been clarified before that stockfish runs by making a branch of moves and analysing each move in the position, calculating 1-2 moves ahead, and removing what seems like bad moves using grandmaster like positional analysis but some moves the engine ignores might actually be the winning move. i once played a bishop backwards move setting up an unstopabble bodens mate pattern queen sac and stockfish couldn't find the move that was mate in 3 and gave the position +10
Engines are good but their end game play tends to be weaker than skilled humans alot of the time. Not just this, but this particular puzzle proves that a skilled human working with an engine, and playing against another skilled human + similar powered computer duo is a battle of skill. The better human player will win if the game is played on tight time controls.
One of the most beautiful studies I have ever seen! You immediately understand the basic ideas and that you need to give away your queen, but it's very hard to put everything together in your head when you have nit seen the puzzle before.
I tried Stockfish on this one and it solved it in about ten seconds at a depth of only 24 or 25 or so. That is nothing. Normally when I analyze my own games I go to depth 35 because it is well known that Stockfish is not reliable at shallower depths.
i dont understand chess, very new, but this channel and the way u talk about chess is just so nice and motivational. not that i suddenly get better lol, i just watch all this and go get checkmated in like under 10 moves anyway lol.
'...a pin and a fork, a pork...' 🤭🤭🤣🤣 Doggone it, I chose the wrong square for the bishop first move (I thought of Be7 first). 🤣🤣 What a position, checks and counterchecks galore, and zugzwang FTW. Great stuff, Gauri, keep them coming whenever you can. 👍🏾👍🏾
Brilliant!! But what I wonder is even when Stockfish can't see past a point, it appreciates Brilliant moves, Great moves, blunders etc. ! And how does the eval bar work ?! It's so beautiful that I watched it two times
Finally a decent chess channel showing really amazing chess puzzles instead of this tiring 'I have 700 elo and sacrificed DA ROOK!!!' nonsense. Keep up the good work!
But Pawn to G7 is almost a guaranteed checkmate because if the queen even tried to check the king she’s captured and if the queen tries to trade the bishop then it’s basically a checkmate in two
At 2:18 , I was more confused by what would happen after Q-f8. I had to watch a second time to understand that any legal King move still works because after Q-g7 (to block the discovered check, only legal move for Black), f8=Q (or =R, which I prefer because of the underpromotion dynamic) would be checkmate because the Queen is now pinned diagonally. These puzzles are amazing and entertaining, regardless of whether I can add helpful analysis (like I did on August 17, and I may or may not have looked through the "Social" tab of my e-mail notifications to find that exact date 👀) or end up overlooking something fairly basic (as was the case in the previous paragraph).
I hate other ytbers coz their aim is to earn money and makes their video by containing name of Magnus Carlsen and his photo but your aim is to make us learn Chess trick and solving puzzle it literally helps in my game ❤
the reason why stockfish can't find the first bishop move is because of how stockfish itself works. it works by analyzing 20-30 moves ahead and if you calculate it properly you can get unimaginable amount of possible moves and variation. because of the large number of variations, stockfish has to filter what "seemingly" an obvious bad move. but in this case, the "seemingly obvious" bad move is actually the only good move and stockfish completely ignored it until we played it, and stockfish realized that the move it deemed and ignored as the bad move, is actually the winning move.
Haven’t watched the video yet. Here’s my idea. I may not be thinking of something. White bishop to E7 Queen can’t take bishop otherwise king will take queen. So logical move for black is to take queen. White pawn then takes pawn on F7 putting the king in check. black kings only move is to go to H8. White pawn promotes to queen putting king in check again. Black queen must take the promoted white queen but sacrifices to the bishop in the process. Where we go from here.. idk lol Depends on what black plays but I’m guessing it ends in a draw.
