Martin is surprisingly scary if you give him a wall of pawns. He doesn't have many legal moves and almost all of them are good. And it's hard for him to blunder anything because the pawns all protect each other, plus he has so many pawns that the he has to make a LOT of blunders for you to win. Even the starting chess position vs 40 pawns is hard, let alone just 2 rooks.
Challenge request: Fire Chess, after Martin’s turn, you must spin the wheel. After the wheel stops, the square landed on catches on fire. (use another board to keep track on what squares are currently on fire) If any of your pieces lands on or passes through a square that is on fire, then your piece catches on fire. When a piece is on fire, the piece gets 3 turns to extinguish themselves. If the piece doesn’t extinguish themselves in 3 turns, the piece dies and gets removed from the board. If a pawn promotes while they are on fire, then the promoted piece remains on fire for the current duration. Martin’s pieces are firefighters, so all of Martin’s pieces can’t catch on fire. If any of Martin’s pieces lands on a square that is on fire, then the square is extinguished and is no longer on fire, However, extinguished squares can catch on fire again, even if the square was extinguished in the past. Squares on fire stay on fire forever until any of Martin’s pieces extinguishes that square on fire. The only way to get a piece extinguished is to capture one of Martin’s pieces while that piece is on fire. If the wheel lands on a space that is occupied by your piece, then that piece catches on fire. If the wheel lands on a square already on fire or is occupied by any of Martin’s pieces, then nothing happens. Knights jump over squares that are on fire. If the challenge is easy, make it harder by making fire propagate as well. After Martin’s turn, then pick one square currently on fire to propagate to an adjacent square, with a 50/50 chance of that square also catching on fire. After propagation rule, spin the wheel. It doesn’t matter if the propagation fails or succeeds, it can only be done once a turn. The propagation rule is mandatory so you cannot skip the propagation step for the entire game.
challenge idea, it's you versus max level stockfish but Martin is your teammate. Every time you move Martin makes a second move for you before Stockfish's turn. He might help you or he might do Martin stuff. Martin is not allowed to checkmate Stockfish and you cant put Stockfish in check
I think Martin has seen your other chess puzzle videos where you underpromote in order to avoid stalemate, and since you had stalemated him before, he wanted to avoid it.
These videos take a lot of work and planning. Having filler videos between should be enough. Not to mention the limited number of puzzles to draw from that are unique and interesting. Just be patient. :)
No he does not, martin plays bad moves intentionally but when he has mate in one he always finds it, you clearly didnt even play him enough to see that
A perfect thumbnail for this would be the move G1 or F1 and the double exclamation mark. Great video, enjoyed it. Martin got a bit too cocky with the knights there :D
This was pretty much a lost cause. Even if Martin had a rating of 0 and made a random choice from the list of all available, legal moves, he would still win. Just press the “Epic Fail” button here.
The lack of a video today (the next day, which shouldn't be concerning but you're definitely consistent and prolific with your videos so a skip in a day stands out) tells me you're definitely feeling worse than yesterday (day of this video). Take it easy, Nelson...chess itself is a game of patience. We can wait for more great videos...rest up!
Chess against martin BUT Each non pawn or king piece that is captured and is martin's, occupies everywhere with a pawn that is within its range. Note pawns will not spawn on occupied squares. Also note idk if promoted pieces should be included in this pawn strategy. Or if pawns should be aloud to spawn on Martin's promotion rank.
Next challenge: Give Martin 30 pawns instead of 40, HOWEVER you must capture all his pawns before you checkmate him. I think to make things more fair, you'd get 2 rooks and a queen in that challenge
Like playing Space Invaders with the Invaders starting on the second-to-last row and you get one ship... chances not looking too good, even with Nelson at the helm🤣
Lol you have to just take pawns every move and use both rooks and figure out which pawns you can take and if it doesn’t work take back a move and try again
ChessNuke has also recently uploaded a similar video, except white and black both have their armies. And apparently Martin missed mate in 1 in that video >:(
I have a martin challenge! You have to checkmate martin, while every piece is on the its homesquare, and you have to promote 8 pawns into queens and return them to their homesquares as well. Martin cannot sacrifice or capture anything! Hint: Checkmate will be a discovered attack while moving a knight to its homesquare.
sorry, usually like all your videos but randomly hoping the AI does not take your pieces does not make for a fun video, only tedious. may I instead suggest the following: you play vs martin, but you may only move the kind of piece decided by a random roll: 1- move any pawn 2- move any minor piece 3- move any major piece 4- move the king. if you have no pieces of the decided type, instead move the king. if the king cannot be moved, the game is stalemate. if a capture can be done with the decided type, you must make a capture.
I feel like I just took a master class in Martin 40 Pawn Opening Mainline Theory 😂
Martin played with 100 percent accuracy that first game
I could tell how happy Nelson was when he checkmated Martin :D
Martin was really GM in this game.
how do you know lol itds been 20 seconds
After all, what does GM stand for if not Great Martin?
@ChrL I know.
@@ninjuanibob is just too good
@ChrL brother
Stay sharp, play smart, and don't forget to back-rank checkmate Martin 😂
Martin truly is one the players in all of chess.
Pardon? Grammar? What are you trying to say?
He meant to say it like that. It’s a joke found everywhere

@@dillontarr8112 Thanks, I understand. But is it correct that also the word "of" is omitted?
I love how Martin decided to flex on you with underpromotions

This opening should be called the "Forty Pawn Defense"
New idea: Martin gets 3 or 4 moves in a row every turn unless he is checking you.
It looked like more of a riddle "find your way through pawns" than a chess game haha

That was hilarious. Well done Nelson for figuring it out.
Can you please do the chess puzzle adventure series more frequently? I really liked the idea of it.
Yes I agree a lot to let’s go back to the time we did it every other day
Ok

@@TheEthikos got it, thanks!
my favourite variation to play with martin is him having all the pieces and I only get 4 knights. i’d like to see you try and win.
Martin is a record breaker (in losing)!!😂
Nelsi is so smart that he doest only learn the theory, he makes it 🥶
Nelson unironically going for 'mainline' theory in the 2 rooks v 40 pawns variant.
Nelson: Martin never misses mate in 1.
Me: Martin always blunders mate in 1.
😂😂
No he does not, martin plays bad moves intentionally but when he has mate in one he always finds it, you clearly didnt even play him enough to see that
@@Melvin-14 you played him enough to see him mating you in one?
@@tiletapper4ever I put martin in costume positions where I let him have mate in one, he *always* found it, try it yourself
@@Melvin-14 you're confused, blundering mate in one and missing it are different things
A perfect thumbnail for this would be the move G1 or F1 and the double exclamation mark.
Great video, enjoyed it. Martin got a bit too cocky with the knights there :D
ur reactions made this very entertaining and I loved how u found a new opening against Martin
Nelson: What's he gonna do?
Nelson: 😐

Love these challenge videos with Martin.
Do this: give yourself 24 pawns and a king, and give Martin 2 rooks and a king. Caveat: you can only promote to knights.
You do not need promotion to checkmate if you have 24 pawns.
And he sacrificed THE ROOOOOOOOK!
And he sacrificed THE ROOOOOOK ( 35 Times)
superb patience there
man great video
And he sacrificed THE ROOOOOOOOK
The first game killed me 😂😂😂

that was actually hilarious

That was sooo much fun 😂
Next challenge: Give Martin 30 pawns instead of 40, HOWEVER you must capture all his pawns before you checkmate him. I think to make things more fair, you'd get 2 rooks and a queen in that challenge
I think the reason Martin made knights instead of queens was because of how many pawns there were the knights could easily jump over them
Like playing Space Invaders with the Invaders starting on the second-to-last row and you get one ship... chances not looking too good, even with Nelson at the helm🤣
10:27 It appears that Martin won't take a piece if it's trapped, but will if it is.
11:09 Maybe not.
I would love to know how Martin is coded. The fact that you can get a pattern like that is amazing and must be because of some quirk of his coding
Playing for a draw is a good idea here. There are tons of stalemate tricks maybe
Move the pawns back a row and put the king in the middle
Martin seemed to like deez knights
WHo else watched the entire thing instead of skipping to the win?
Didn't ChessNuke did this same idea. Like a week ago?
I really enjoyed this video so much this is more exciting than solving puzzles
THANK YOU for doing these crazy ideas that makes chess interesting. Nice book moves there btw.
I actually couldn't believe it 😂
Now try to lose against Martin in the same position as black
You should do a rook battle with stockfish (each side having 23 rooks)
At 21:00 you changed from draws to ties.
They've recently improved the martin bot
It's like playing a game of Simon.
Nelson, can you do the next chess puzzle story plz
Martin would literally have to blunder 15 moves in a row for anyone to win this.
Do it agin but you start with 16 pawns, have to capture all his pieces and can only promote to knights
ok now do it again but clear up all the black pieces before chekmate
You will never win against Martin with 40 pawns if he is 1400 elo
I think it would require GM skills NOT to win with black.
Lol you have to just take pawns every move and use both rooks and figure out which pawns you can take and if it doesn’t work take back a move and try again
So... No one is gonna state that Martin simply let him win?
I would have gotten greedy and taken every single pawn if possible lol
Dude you should make a puzzle about this😂😂😂
ChessNuke has also recently uploaded a similar video, except white and black both have their armies.
And apparently Martin missed mate in 1 in that video >:(
I'd love to see the game analysis 😂
Nelson you have a masochistic streak :) . Good win but I liked the stalemates more just for being more instructive.
I’m pretty sure they shadow buffed Martin a little bit ago
We want part2 of haking stockfish
This is too hard. Martin is the greatest GM, one of the best players in the world, rival to Magnus Carlsen.
Ngl this is harder than the billion rooks
Now try with 47 pawns
He's not as badas choosing absolutely randomly from all available moves but it's close
I have a martin challenge!
You have to checkmate martin, while every piece is on the its homesquare, and you have to promote 8 pawns into queens and return them to their homesquares as well.
Martin cannot sacrifice or capture anything! Hint: Checkmate will be a discovered attack while moving a knight to its homesquare.
Tell me is it considered to defeat match while stale mate
Why didn't you try to take all of his pieces from that position? That would have been metal!
GM MARTIN
This is scary. If a nm loses 26 times and draws 8 times just to win once against the worst bot, I think humanity is doomed. :o
awesome, that was crazy. i thought there was no way.
Great win, I wonder if Stockfish could figure that out.
Bro, I played 11 games with him that we're all 7 queens vs 7 rooks (ofc I played with rooks) and I've won 8, and lost 3
I think u had a chance for a draw at 1:54 if u give away ur rooks.
That took 35 game to beat Martin💀💀💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And it only took 35 tries.
martin = master bm-er
Thanks for video I learned theory☺️
what’s the background music in the game
sorry, usually like all your videos but randomly hoping the AI does not take your pieces does not make for a fun video, only tedious.
may I instead suggest the following: you play vs martin, but you may only move the kind of piece decided by a random roll:
1- move any pawn
2- move any minor piece
3- move any major piece
4- move the king.
if you have no pieces of the decided type, instead move the king. if the king cannot be moved, the game is stalemate. if a capture can be done with the decided type, you must make a capture.
Martin doesn't take defended pieces
How do you play against bots with custom positions
Nelson
What an awesome awesome win, a well deserved win. Love the flippin cool awesome video.
Why cas it’s flippin cool, just like Nelson is.
messi siiiiiiiiii
Chess but you have no pawns?
Honestly I prefer the old (far more dumber) Martin.
Now you know how Mr Beast felt playing Nakamura… and also how Nakamura felt playing Mr Beast
wait?!! when did you get so much hair?
I played 19:47 at 0.25x speed at I did not know what I heard...
%100 hope chess
This man is cracked even though NM
He was rly happy
