    What I absolutely love about your channel is the raw Information style. No cringy CZcamsr jokes, just a sympathic great chess Player who knows how to share his knowledge so that even a non- intermediate chess Player can follow you. Keep doing your thing!

    In the third position for a while I was really happy that I’ve found a move that only higher rated players have found (c4).
    “I’m playing like high rated players” - were my thoughts.
    “This just hangs a royal fork” - said the voice in my headphones.
    ;(

    Love those positions without any obvious tactic.
    It would also be interesting to see how many had the right reason on some moves for example on Na4, but i dont think there is an easy way to analyse the text comments.

      Let's give the 1600+ players the benefit of the doubt and assume they didn't blunder a pawn in 1 move without seeing the follow-up, though you never know since 25% of them blundered a queen in 1 move on position 3 🤣

  • @zoe7696
    @zoe7696 Před 2 lety +5

    in position 1 i was calculating qxf7 qxf5 nxf5 bxf7 rxe7+ kd8 rxf7 rxf5 and then you have to find the only winning move rf8 to trade the rooks and transition into a winning pawn endgame

  • @MichaelGrundler

  • @AeonQuasar
    @AeonQuasar Před 2 lety +3

    In position 3 what about Be4? Attacking the pesky knight for a potential trade and get defence to the F pawn.

  • @petesmith147
    @petesmith147 Před 2 lety +2

    Well, I missed every single one of the best moves. But I also found every single blunder and realized they were bad and why. So I think that's a win, right?

  • @hughparsonage4446
    @hughparsonage4446 Před 2 lety +1

    I love puzzles where the player to move is in a worse position: I find them much more applicable to my games. But in all seriousness, if you know a player to move is winning it makes the puzzles easier than they should be imo.

  • @teambellavsteamalice
    @teambellavsteamalice Před 2 lety +1

    The second and third one were really hard to find as there is no clear win. I kinda expect that in puzzles.
    Even if I'd found on the second one I could get the exchange I'd look on for a better move. And the bishop move does indeed the least bad position but I'd not find it in a million years. I might have made the move but then as an 'I give up, I can't find the checkmate or queentrap ' move. It doesn't do anything spectacular, there isn't a plan!

  • @arthurrtang9670
    @arthurrtang9670 Před 2 lety

    Someone in the chat already mentioned it, but after Qxf7 Black's best try would be to play Qxf5. After many exchanges, at some point you had to find Rf1 for White as the best move, where black can trade rooks and be left in a losing king and pawn endgame or allow white to have two extra pawns (connected on the kingside) when they move their rook away and allow White to play Rxf6.

  • @pdpgrgn
    @pdpgrgn Před 2 lety

    I answered Na4 not because I saw the line, but because I was completely blind to the fact that our pawn is being attacked and simply thought that the queen had to go to a7 and after Nb5, black's queen and rook are awkward

  • @ezra7088
    @ezra7088 Před 2 lety

    yes when I played knight a4 I definitely saw that the their queen could simply take my pawn and I then had an elaborate scheme to trap the rook, and didn't get embarrassingly lucky stumbling into the right move lol.

  • @richardknouse618
    @richardknouse618 Před rokem +1

    In position 3, what about Be4? This sets white up to bust the knight fortress in the center of the board without giving up any opportunities to black.

  • @endrankluvsda4loko172
    @endrankluvsda4loko172 Před 2 lety

    For the first puzzle, my thought was to send knight to g6 attacking the queen. If rook takes, then bishop can take rook. The idea is to get the pawn on f7 down to g6 so then rook can take bishop on e6 followed up by queen takes bishop e7. I'm really bad at chess though so there might be a reason no one picked that.

    • @isaiahlebron4451
      @isaiahlebron4451 Před 2 lety +1

      Knight to g6 unprotects the bishop on f5 so the black queen can take it, and then the knight on g6 is pinned, so it will be lost as well.

  • @jatinsachdev8459
    @jatinsachdev8459 Před 2 lety +1

    I discarded qxf7 in the 1st position due to qxf5 by black and after nxf5 bxf7 rxe7 kd8 rxf7 rxf5 white is just a pawn up and so i thought rxe6 was better

  • @crazypomp927
    @crazypomp927 Před 2 lety +3

    In position 2, I saw that b5 immediately didn't work because of Nc5. I thought Bxf6 was correct because I thought after Bxf6 Bxf6 Nd5, queen moves, Nxf6, black recaptures that then b5 would win material completely forgetting that black still has Nc5 😂😂. It's so funny how you can easily see a move in one position and then miss the exact same move only a few turns down the line.
    Position 3 was super difficult. I said Rg2 to defend the h pawn and preparing to double on the g file.

    • @petesmith147
      @petesmith147 Před 2 lety +2

      I said Rg2 as well. I thought "This doesn't look good, I don't think I can give up that pawn."

  • @Trewq79
    @Trewq79 Před 2 lety

    That 3rd puzzle was so difficult, I'll admit I cheatsie doodled a little. After guessing Qxb7, I looked it up on stockfish. There definitely were no "good" answers, just which one is the least harmful for you.
    Great lesson in a puzzle though. I'm so used to doing puzzles where I find the brilliant attack, when in reality you need to also focus on your position and defenses.

    Question and potential spoiler for position 1.
    What is the winning line after 1. Qxf7 Qxf5?!
    That seemed like the most critical variation to me but it wasn't covered.
    Am I missing something obvious?

  • @janpiet9921
    @janpiet9921 Před 2 lety +3

    Honestly I still like my move Rg4 more in the last position, even while knowing the stockfish evaluation. Sure with perfect play you can probably draw it but as a human I'm having a really hard time trying to find a way to stop black from optimizing their pieces and cracking the position open with e5.
    Rg4 at least gives some counterplay and gives black the opportunity to make mistakes, and if they find all the stockfish moves then so be it.

  • @steveboyer9299
    @steveboyer9299 Před 2 lety

    I have 2 different video requests. I'm a 1500 player and I constantly get people who just trade off all the pieces right away and it is very annoying. But it seems unavoidable. I would love to know how to avoid that. I can't improve my rating if I can't learn to play with the pieces. And the second is people at my rating seem to play moves outside of theoretical lines in the opening pretty much all the time and so it's hard to know what to do in those situations without studying every single move.

    I found Na4 on the second position. Yooo, let's go. I didn't actually see the rook trap thing though. I just understood that it was the right move via deduction. I did see the attack on the rook, but didn't know it was a trap. Just thought "There's some pressure; cool." Turned out to be the right one.
