I fear I'm developing an inferiority complex. Does my inability to solve even the simplest of chess puzzles make me a bad person? My ego has taken quit a beating recently.
@@rogerkearns8094 I believe my main problem is an inability to visualize the board as I mentally move the pieces. If I were to break out my chess set and physically move them, I'd probably find the solutions more often. In any event, I'm an admittedly poor player but I still love the game.
Nice. I was surprised that I did not solve this. Then realized that it was because this is such a subtle problem. Nice. If you solve this within two minutes, you should be a strong player.
Interesting. Tried the right move on the 1st minute, but didn't figure out the 2nd move next. In 10 minutes returned to it and saw the mate in the end😂
Knight: guys, it's an easy mate in 3 or 4.
Other white pieces: KNIGHT SACRIFICE, KNIGHT SACRIFICE
Excellent puzzle as always. You bring out the best ones. Thank you very much.
Somehow I spotted this in like 5 seconds.
This is chess-art!!! Beautiful!
very cool but why should anyone sacrifice a warrior which fought for him before ? Thats betrayal :)
I always fail these
Took a bit longer than usual but eventually I saw it
Very easy. The key is to prevent escape to c7, then no that much possibilities ...
Made it relatively quickly, following almost exactly the same logics as in the video.
Nice problem, not very difficult, thank you.
Yessss, I saw the tactic to accomplish the strategy😂

Fraid so. Very bad. You’ll be ostrich-sized like me.
So many of us are that sized. I finally saw the solution after a couple of minutes, but second guessed myself out of it 😕
you have other talents bud.. like the ability to think critically about yourself in public.. Keep going as the one you are..
Nice.

Got another one!
We don't want the king to go to the seventh row. We want him to go to the fifth row instead. So that is where we put our knight!

Easy peasy, less than 10 seconds squeazy.
Easy but nice
STOP THE PRESSES. I got one.
Magnus Carlsen, how long did it take you to see that play? - I believe about three seconds. 😮
Interesting, but black is doomed anyway, whether in 2, 3 or 4 moves. Puzzles where black has options to fight back are more fun.
Looking at a7 and c7 would solve the puzzle!
