Position #2 is mindblowing. Literally every underpromotion works under a specific circumstance, and the queen is bad everytime. That's a truly incredible position to me, much more than the others.
-
Position #2...love that multi-faceted case where an underpromotion was the way to seal a win while queening likely blows it. πππΎ
-
Those puzzles were completely mind-boggling. Especially the second one, where there are 3 underpromotions in the different variations. What this teaches us is to never give up. Even if a position looks completely hopeless there may be some kind of crazy winning move available on the board. Thank you so much for the amazing video!

18:09 if anyone was wondering about the Qxf6 sub-line there it is: 2. ... Qxf6 3. exf6 Ke5 4. fxg7 ... 5. g8=Q 3. ... gxf6 4. f4 ... 5. c3# Edit: corrected the typo.
-
I feel like theres a whole genre of chess puzzles that require underpromotion to prevent these weird stalemate traps, but Position #2 is maybe the coolest one of those I've seen
-
12:20 the human move here is Ng3+ followed by Ng4. It doesn't force mate quite as quickly, but your two knights and bishop and two pawns will win easily, without having to calculate the weird ending in the actual puzzle.
-
6:53 if we move the right side pawn to h6, and the king takes the h6 pawn, it seems to also create a winning move
-
Sorry but isn't there a direct checkmate im position #2, on Rg1? After Rg1, it's a check. So the King is either forced to move to h8, or block it with the Queen or Bishop, which is useless and would lead back to h8. Then pΓRf8 and promotes to a Queen/Rook. Blocking with Bishop, again useless as RΓBg8 it would lead to a checkmate...

25:24 Thank you , your video really motivated me to think with you, try out the positions myself and have fun with chess and play it even though I'm not a good player at all. Great channel.
-
I actually was able to solve position 1:D finally some progress!
-
Third puzzle was the toughest. I got the first move on three of them. Feel good about that.
-
At 15:54 surely pawn to C3 is an immediate check mate.
-
You might wonder about the Knight in A8 in the third position, but thatβs to prevent 6.Ke6 threatening 7.Nc3# mate with 6. β¦ Nc6+
-
I have a question why in position 4 can't the queen capture the knight on f6?!?! D3 does not offer checkmate because the E5 pawn is not defended. If white plays f4 the Queen is free to capture f4?!? Please help what am I missing?! Figured it out exg6 if fxg6 F4 mate on D3 is unavoidable Forcing K e5 fxg7 and queens
-
Position 2. Why can't we move the rook to g1? Then, in any scenario, we checkmate in 1-2 moves.
-
15:47 No.4 Nice deflection by queen sac. I don't recall seeing that sort of deflection before. The sacrificing side forced the deflected piece not to block the king, or to unguard a square, or to unpin something, but to cross a critical square, ending up on the wrong side of it.
-
The amazing position 5 when the rook moves to get ready to capture the pawn, canβt the rook move to B8 and check the king, then the pawn can promote
-
i love it man u got that pedagogy that i can see trough the moove b4 you explain them like i dont know if im genius or your just a good profesor, plus 1 sub !
-
Position 4 gets really interesting if you decide to sac the queen for the knight. Getting the win for white gets tricky. as black has a lot of ways to spoil it. I originally analysed it missing a critical white pawn and was wondering if the study was flawed. Nope, just my eyesight :)
