  • This puzzle was published by the Russian Chess Master Alexander Petrov in Schachzeitung #6, in 1824. It is more than a puzzle, it is a morality tale.
    This is an ASMR video :)
    You can copy this FEN string into your chess program of choice to analyze it yourself 3n4/2p3p1/4prB1/n1P5/p1pP1rp1/4b3/1pP1Np1K/1k3N1Q w - - 0 1
    NOTE that chess engines like Stockfish will give the wrong answer, since they are unaware of Petrov's hatred for Marshall Kutuzov.

    In 1812 Napoleon had invaded Russia with a huge army (La Grande Armée, in fact). He had, through a military campaign that was devastating to both sides, managed to capture Moscow. From there he was driven back to Paris. This chess puzzle tells that story.

      4:10 the translation should have been "Men are like digits..." instead of number.
      In the sense that the digit 5 in the number 50 is worth more than the 5 in the number 15, because it got a better position.
      Nonetheless, that video is awesome

    The Scorched Earth tactic was used heavily against the Swedish invading forces of Charles XII during the Great Northern War (1700-1721) when he tried to reach Moscow, so by the time Napoleon came around it was already long since established.

    • @LilBagel
      @LilBagel Před rokem +1

      Old school for me is something reminiscent of Bob Ross’s the Joy of Painting. Just someone who was really relaxing and incredibly passionate about their craft. He accidentally became what is regarded as the pioneer of asmr style videos.
      Been watching asmr for a long while and I haven’t been this invested in an asmr video since French Whisperer. It was the only old school asmrtist who does wonders with history that I know of. I’m sure there were others.
      This video here reminds me of the techniques of Crafsman’s lighting and camera angles combined with the history of French Whisperer. You nail this format and your passion shines in this.
      I feel asmr these days is a little too focused on other forms of intimacy. While I respect that side of things it’s much rarer to find someone who is showing us something they are passionate about. It’s that element that makes this infinitely watchable.
