Puzzle: Ng6!
If Bxg6, then Qg7#.
If Rxg6, then Qh7#.
If Rf7, then Qxf7#.
Any other move, then Qg7# or Qh7#. At least one of these checkmate is possible.

Ng6. It took me 30s. Nice puzzle.

It blows my mind how minor changes in a piece’s position in chess lead to unreasonably large differences in outcome. This seems so different from real life, where it feels like small changes in causes generally lead to small changes in outcome. Then again, chaos and the butterfly effect exist. Maybe it is also our common sense “trimming” many nonsensical decisions (eg don’t walk on a busy highway) but because we don’t possess a “chess common sense” we cannot see blunders the way we see them in life.
Also what is amazing to me is that incredibly good grandmasters and world champions are making blunders and also failing to capitalise on each other’s blunders … yes it’s true that this is an endgame with very less time but still 😂 I feel better about my own blunders lol
And nice puzzle where the criss cross of the defending pieces’ paths prevent either one or the other from defending if the path is blocked. I forgot if there was a term for this, I saw this same concept in one of your previous videos. Thanks again for a really nice video. I like how you explore the position and try to understand it deeper and ask questions about it and don’t just blindly follow the computer.
