    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.

    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

  • @mpeterll
    @mpeterll วันที่ผ่านมา

    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.

  • @jespernorgaard3795
    @jespernorgaard3795 วันที่ผ่านมา

    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.
