It's incredible to me that there are composers who dedicate themselves to creating beautiful studies like this. The world of chess is so vast.
-
Amazing. This is now my favorite chess position. Seeing this, though, just shows how far away I am from playing perfect(ish) end-games, even when they seem to simple.
-
There was one fascinating study by Mario Matous where at the end, the bishop had to stay in one diagonal only, so you had to figure out what square in the diagonal is the best. And it came down to zugzwang. You had literally 2 available squares and one loses the game like 6 moves later and the other one wins. It was truly amazing.
-
Wow this study is beautiful, this really makes me smile knowing how beautiful our world of 64 squares really is
-
If somebody figure out this in a real game.. It would be a direct ticket to the hall of fame :) Amazing.. beautiful and super tricky
-
Something that might be helpful for videos like this would be to post a lichess link to the opening position so players can easily try this for themselves vs the AI.
-
Quick reminder to say whose move it is before you start explaining 👍
-
Amazing explanation . If possible please make series of this end game
-
Thanks Nelson, these kinds of problems are perfect to study!
-
Brilliant! Please more videos about compositions.
-
This is why endgames are my favourite part of chess. Every move has to be calculated with precision and a single wrong move can cost you the game.
-
Truly amazing. Thank you for sharing.
-
Super instructive!! Your a fantastic teacher
-
Great puzzle, you're a very good teacher, thank you.

You never brought up term for this type of strategy zugswang, where you keep putting opponent into position to have to make bad move. A simple example is when you have K and pawn against K and are able to maintain opposition with your K against opponent K, ultimately forcing him to move out of the way. Care must always be taken on each move to maintain the zugswang. One bad move on your part and the situation can be reversed.
-
Wow so cool! This is one of my favorite puzzles!
-
@10:45 I couldn't figure out at first why the bishop would not just sack itself for e6 check, causing pawn captures bishop and the black king would always be in the square to stop the pawns. But then I realized you could just move to e7 and you'd have all the time in the world to wait for your own king to come give backup. The king can never capture the f6 pawn without allowing a queen.

9:10 “this one is a little bit tricky so be careful” 😄 thank you for always taking care of us Maestro 😄 beautiful video!! now seriously thank you for your teaching and asking us to pause the video to decide the move I know I said this before but this not only makes us part of the video but helps us improve even more
-
I really enjoy these videos of weird and interesting endgames :)
-
Great video thanks :) wish more are coming
