At this point the old man smiled and placed a 12โ tall mechanic Godzilla on the board. โGojirra wins winsโ He exclaimed before making laser sounds and knocking all the pieces onto the floor. At this point the club realized the answer: the old man was crazy, and was promptly escorted off the premises.

I think probably the young girl instinctively thought this looked like a win for white because of how many pieces white has and the other players (who had seen more of these whacky puzzle positions) instinctively thought black would win or it would be a draw due to the nature of these puzzles and how often one side can do really well when the king has limited squares. Still Bravo to her bet she was chuffed at that.
-
Very sneaky of Nelson to show the Stockfish analysis while it is only at depth 18. I'd imagine by the time the chess engine gets to depth 20 it notices Qd3 and shows a high plus score or even a forced mate for White. So the other moral of the story is, don't trust chess engines when you haven't given them adequate time to analyze the position.
-
My gut instinct: White can easily draw by simply shuffling the rook back and forth for perpetual check, therefore this is not a win for black. Meta reasoning says that since this is a puzzle, it's unlikely to be a draw either, otherwise it wouldn't be much of a puzzle. Therefore it's likely a win for white through shenanigans, probably with some kind of fork block at some point.
-
That is an Epic solution. This is a perfect reminder for a chess player to think more critically and improve
-
I think the hardest part would be reverse engineering this puzzle to find out how three hell they got in that crazy position
-
There's actually another way for it to end! It's still a draw, but not by perpetual checks. 3:42 If White Bd4, black Qa5+, White Rc5, Black QxR+, White must capture, but whether he does with the King or Bishop it's actually a stalemate. The white Queen covers E1, E2, and G2 while the white Bishop covers F2 and G1.
-
I like how the most complicated way to draw is shown when white can literally just move the rook back and forth
-
It definitely looked like a perpetual check situation. Didn't see the queen sacrifice! Awesome stuff.
-
I thought it was a draw because black has perpetual checks and white's pieces could shuffle back and forth but I only saw the queen sac when the position before it was shown again
-
The little story plus stock fish with inadequate depth for the puzzle gave a lot to the puzzle - very well done. This kind of framing gives a chess puzzle - something very logical, abstract, definitive and solitaire - am open ended and social element.
-
And then they realized there was a random old guy in their chess club for kids
-
This is great! I like problems with tries that are plausible but wrong, and this one has tries at various levels of naivety/plausibility.
-
I noticed almost instantly this would impossibly be a win for Black due to Qa2+ Rc4 Qd2+ Rd4 etc. If it's 'weird', it must be a win for White (as otherwise puzzles like these are drawn) but I failed to think outside the box. Which, is quite literal here ๐. I'll save this one, thanks!
-
I was thinking about that queen sacrifice as it was the only unconventional option to simultaneously block the check as well as breaking the chain, all other pieces had one and only one way of blocking..although I didn't understand the importance of the sacrifice at first, so I thought it's suicidal, hence didn't gave much thought...but I was wrong..and right too. Another lesson for me, thanks :)

The name of this young girl ? Albert Einstein.

0:35 That day the little girl promise herself to take revenge on those who humiliated her
-
Bro your story telling was good and your inspiration from chess talk was new kind of content
-
I find it funny that none of the people tried to accont for the king
-
fun fact for me before subscribing to Nelson's Chess vibes, I actually subscribe to Chess talk so basically YouTube thought that Chess talk "promoted" algorithm to Chess vibes in my home page nice video as always
