Hello there!
My name is Mikael von Bargen. I´m from Sweden but post everything in English to be able to reach a bigger audience. I apologize for any language errors since English is not my native tongue.
I am a decent chess player with an ELO over 2100 and love to dig more into the game so I spend lots of time solving puzzles and checking out new cool openings. As a player I am super aggressive and always try to play some wild gambit whenever I get the chance. For me, chess should be fun and I just love it when games go crazy.
Follow my channel to watch my chess videos with problems, puzzles and opening tutorials.
Contact me at mikael@vonbargen.se if you have a puzzle or study to recommend, maybe even your own compositions. If I like them I will make a video about it and post on my channel.
Apart from my chess material I also have a vide variety of Supremacy 1914 videos that will help you develop into a master of Supremacy 1914 if you are a fan of this online strategy game

Got another one! Cheers!
Well sorryimate the blck in just 2 moves :). Rf7, black moves what he wants. Rg8#
Nice!
I saw the winning moves by White: the move Bb8 and later Bg3 and Bh4 immediatly, also certainly the moves g2 -g4 + But I have seen ALL studies by Wotawa long, long before. Many of the Wotawa´s studies I have corrected.
Excellent puzzle, thank you very much.
Didn't get it, but satisfied with the solution after.
Got it! Good real-world puzzle!
FCK that's beautiful

Anyone who considers moving the pawns right away should be doing simpler puzzles. You don't need to show these variations.
Rf6 fails to Ba3, Rf7 fails to Bf4
Solved it before opening... Rf6... The rest plays itself...^^
And if you move the rook to f6 ? When the bischop goes to f4, you take it and the next move is Rf8 ++ When the bischop goes to g5, Rf8. Bischop to d8, Rf8 ++
I guess black can play bishop a3
If the bishop goes to g5... Rf8+...Bd8 to block... I believe you meant Rxd8#...
@@zoranvucenovic3824 Yes of course 😄
@@Bernd_B I also thought about that. But I replayed it myself on a real chess board And I see my mistake. 1. Rf6 Ba3 2. Re6 Bd6 3. Re8 Bb8 And no mate in 3 in that case 😣😣
@@Bernd_B If ...Ba3 then Re6, no? Then no Bishop to block.
Rooks Rocks
Three movers are more than one-and-a-half times harder than two movers.
I disagree. The two move puzzles can be challenging to solve... The first move must do multiple things to achieve a mate in two...
@@zoranvucenovic3824 Perhaps. :)
Thank you, it was a nice puzzle.
This is very difficult one, and a player of IM level and above might solve this puzzle!
Easy peasy
For the first time, I got it in 10 secs.😅
Great one
One amazing line is 1. Qg4. If black plays Qxg4, then Nxc5+, Kb4 only move, then Nd3+, if black plays Ka4, then b3 is MATE!, and if black plays Kc4, then Ne3+ picks up the queen and i assume without queens white may win but I'm not sure, it looks draw-ish. Now, if after 1. Qg4 black doesn't take the queen, he's dead lost because his queen is hanging in check, so he'd have to play 1. ... Qc4, then, white can unleash Qe4, where black is in another zugzuang, the queen is pinned to the king, no pawn moves, if you take the queen then Nxc5+ wins it back and white has a winning endgame. So the only move is Kb4, and here white can play the silent but brutal Qe1+, which can not be rationally blocked, so after Ka4, Qxa5# is mate
At 5:10, you didn't play the optimum move for black. Instead of Ne5, you should have played it back to d4, preventing the Nd2 and Nb3 combo.
Oh, boy🙄 this was the only move I missed to try. I'm too good for this world!
Just here to say I got it from the tumbnail
Managed to figure this one out 🙂
easy, 4 moves.
Very tricky.
The best is the explanation about the right rook to choose to start!
I did it. First time ever. Queen potential sacrifice moving to h8. The king only has g6. Then bring queen up to h7
Except I was only 1/2 right 😂
I've been subscribed for a little while now and had been away from the game for a long time. I appreciate you for bringing chess back into my life.. damn stupid thumbnails drew me in and your voice and enthusiasm have kept me loyal to your channel . thank you.
same here... hahaha !! :D THOSE *THUMBNAILS!!* and his cool chill voice !! :D .
Solved this one before opening it... I didn't have to watch it... After one second... I liked the video anyway... Thanks for testing my skill :) I feel a bit "enhanced" after solving it :)
Easy. 1. Rd1+ Rd2 2. Rd3+ Ke7 3. R1xd2 The rest is work.
An easy way to understand whether 1.Rd3+ or 1.Rd1+ is correct is that you want to catch the rook on the first possible square meaning that 1.Rd1+ is best to counter 1...Rd2 with 2.Rd3+ Rxd3 3.Rxd3+ and 4.Kxh2. If we choose 1.Rd3+ we end up with 1...Kc7 2.Rc1+ Kb6 3.Rb3+ Ka5 4.Ra1+ Ra2! 5.Ra3+ Rxa3 6.Rxa3+ Kb4 7.Kxh2 Kxa3 and it is a draw.
Excellent variation, one small wrong Rook move and its an obvious draw but a great win, great learning. Thank you very much.
Aftwr so many tutorials, finally we have some homework.
Find It, nota even think on start with top rook😂
Very nice, got it eventually.
The X-ray tactic! It's often delightful when you can use it. Nice puzzle.
It looks so hard. But it is easier than it looks like. Actually i predicted the first 2 moves and i predicted that you could have to check by one rook and the other one leads to a draw.
I missed that I could take the rook at h2 😞
Nice puzzle, seemingly easy - but I chose the wrong rook, duh!
I also.
Sehr schön! Wichtig ist mit 1. Rd1+ zu beginnen. Es folgt Kc7, 2. Rc3+, Kb6, 3. Rb1+. Jetzt muss der Turm dazwischen, denn es droht 4. Ra3# matt. Auf 3. ….. Rb2, folgt 4. Rb3+ und schwarz verliert einen Turm. ! 1.Rd3+ ?? funktioniert dagegen nicht!
A small idea. But perfect made with an interesting thematic try 1.Rd3+? The white king can also stay on g3 instead of g1 with the same solution.
1. Rd3 does NOT work. Did you even watch the video til the end ?? -_- .
Does Q h3 also work
I was greatly surprised by the second move of the Bishop! I was thinking about keeping the Bishop somewhere where in could stop the black pawns, not somewhere where it could sacrifice itself!
d6 > d7
I managed to do all the right moves except I did not see the final mat. Beatiful puzzle!!
Wow, I missed both main points. Good video
At 04:08 Isnt that the moment for black to play King g6 ?
1...Kg6 2. d7 Bf6 3. Bc7 a4 4. d8D Bxd8 5. Bxd8 a3 6. Bxb6 and Bd4
beautiful puzzle
