Well, the king cant deliver checkmate without their help either, and if it had just been one pawn its a draw even with the kings help: you just give up the bishop the second you have a chance
2:17 I believe you can also win by advancing the h7, make it a queen, then enemy bishop would be forced to take your queen and then you simply move the g6 pawn and you have a for with check. However im not sure if would end in win or a draw.
If you had a piece that moves exactly like the king (except it can't castle), how strong do you think it would be? As strong as a Knight? As strong as a pawn? Or...
The Mann is a fairy chess piece that moves like the King, but cannot be checked or castle. It has a value of 3 pawns, roughly equal to the knight. It is slightly weaker than the knight in the opening, slightly stronger in the endgame, and can force checkmate with the King.
instead of g7 i would have played h8->g7 which would fork the king and bishop. the opponent would then have to try to chase down the pawns but i believe you can still maintain opposition with that position
Somehow I have a different solution. I put up the position in Lichess and played hardest level (unlimited time) against Stockfish and smoothly won. Not sure if there was a better response from black to prevent this sequence: 1.Kd2,Kb4 2.Ke3,Be5 3.h8=Q,Bxh8 4.Kf4,Bb2 5.e5,Kc4 6.g7,Kd3 7.g8=QKc3
Then you just push any pawn. The Bishop has to take, and your king can move to f4. Then your king is too close compared to theirs, and you will queen easily. The main thing to remember though is not to waste time moving the king from F4 or G5. Once you can safely move a pawn with the king's protection, you need to do so.
@@derder894 I think it ends up the same, because then black's king is just 1 square behind. White king still ends up on e3 on the 2nd move, and what is black's 2nd move other than to move it's king closer ending up in the same position? Then you just advance any of the 3 pawns that can move, bishop has to take, white king gets to f4, and it's over.
Yeah the white king just moves to white tiles until it can reach a further up pawn, and if the bishop then tries to prevent that the white king can go to the black square that bishop was previously covering. Like, imagine the white king goes to g4, there is no way for the bishop to cover f4 and g5 simultaneously.
Why doesnt black slow down white by putting the bishop at an angle that the king cant move forward without detouring white squares or checking. This buys black an extra turn sibce it takes 2 to move the king through the detour and position but only one for black to move their bishop. This does leave the line open for pawns to move forward, but also can be reset by positioning to check the king earnibg an extra turn before moving back in line
At 1:35, why can you not just move the bishop behind the first pawn, preventing the white king from crossing through the black squares and forcing a detour?
I'm pretty sure if would go Be5, Ke3 Kb4, h8=Q Bxh8, Kf4 Kc5, e5 Basically, you can deflect the bishop with a promotion, when it captures you can move your king to f4 anyways. Because black lost a tempo moving the bishop, the black king a little too far away to help stop white from pushing the pawns and promoting
You can probably calculate it, it's the same thing. Black lost 1 move with the king so white can use 1 extra move to get to h6. Just instead of Kf4-g5 you play Kf3-g4-g5 etc
1. Kd2 Be5 2. Ke3 Kb4 3. Kf3 Kc5 4. Kg4 Scenario A - 4. Kg4 Kd6?! 5. Kg5 Ke7 6. Kh6 Kf8 (continuation similar to video. White wins) Scenario B - 4. Kg4 Bf6 5. Kf4?? Kd6 (White mistake cause black to win) Scenario C - 4. Kg4 Bf6 5. Kh5 Kd6?! 6. Kh6 (White wins comfortably) Scenario D- 4. Kg4 Bf6 5. Kh5 Bg7 6. Kg5 Kd6 7. f6 (Black king is too slow, white wins comfortably) This is all I can think of. Let me know if I've missed anything Edit: whenever I say black win, I meant draw. 😂
@@brandnewbit1262 my problem is not specifically with the story. in story type puzzles, he doesn't choose good quality puzzles or focuses on story too much and doesn't focus enough on the depths of the puzzle. so skipping the story wouldn't solve my problems
Black could try Bd5 to prevent the white king from moving to c4. But then white can place the king at d3 and push forward the g- or h-pawn. When the bishop takes that pawn, the white king can move to c4.
At 2:19 can you still play h8=Q+ and after black takes you have g7+ with the fork? Black may be able to take the pawns but your still up 2 pawns which should be winning
It would be undefended. The bishop simply takes it. I guess you can still win by playing F6 after the bishop takes your pawn, but playing F6 right away works better since that pawn is defended by the king.
can someone tell me why when your king is on h6, you can just promote the h pawn to a queen and then if he takes you fork with the paws and if he moves away you have a queen so you win the game?
i see i am improving in seeing things. first i was like ??? huh how and how do you see this. but i saw some of these moves this time. so these puzzles actually really help me
So you can get the queen to equalize and then he will likely agree to a draw because we have a chance at winning agaun right? What do you do if he doesnt agree to a draw?
I would like to appreciate the bishop in other view of point, he blocked the whole front-line on his own force. Though it failed finally, but the bishop deserve a credit.😉
"Together, pawns are really strong"
"the secret lies in using the king to help the pawns"
Well, the king cant deliver checkmate without their help either, and if it had just been one pawn its a draw even with the kings help: you just give up the bishop the second you have a chance
I like these simpler leaner puzzles the most. Theyre the easiest to remember and show someone on a board
very nice one, i enjoyed this over the others, simple and satisfying.
Remember guys, sometimes we cant success without others. We neeed teamworks like these pawns!

Loved this puzzle and video. Very instructive
2:17 I believe you can also win by advancing the h7, make it a queen, then enemy bishop would be forced to take your queen and then you simply move the g6 pawn and you have a for with check. However im not sure if would end in win or a draw.
bishop will take the pawn at g7
Answer: Game actually ends in a draw since the Bishop can just front passant 4x combo all those pawns.
I just love the front passant rule
At first, I said it's obvious, just move your king, and as soon as I saw White moved their king, I cried internally.
Yeah where I messed up was thinking that king would follow trying to get to d3
Cried from joy?
@@doesntmatter2732 pain
Sorry, it was said to win with pawns. But what was shown was how to get a queen and the win with a queen. The pawns as such are worthless.
It should have been king d1
I'm glad you still post normal puzzles, fisherman ones are too common.
Fisherman ones are just puzzles with a storyline I don't understand why not add them to the fisherman story
Fisherman puzzles are the best
2:15 just pawn to h8 because we can fork the king and the bishop by sacrifing two pawns and there is no way to stop the other two.
1:35, black has be5?
If you had a piece that moves exactly like the king (except it can't castle), how strong do you think it would be? As strong as a Knight? As strong as a pawn? Or...
It would be stronger than a pawn, but weaker than a knight imo

@@person8064 thanks!
I think such a piece was worth 1,75 in fairy stockfish. I can be wrong tho.
@@person8064 This sounds like an AI answer.
3:21 why is the pawn's move to e5 worse? I think this is also a winning move
It’s a longer mate sequence under perfect conditions,but still winning
pawns are the meaning of strength in numbers
instead of g7 i would have played h8->g7 which would fork the king and bishop. the opponent would then have to try to chase down the pawns but i believe you can still maintain opposition with that position
It's not really a fork because the bishop can just take the pawn. The bishop is protected by the king.
One of the rare times I was able to figure out the end moves accurately
Same, I thought it was kind of easy, and that's a first for me lol
Me too man
Somehow I have a different solution. I put up the position in Lichess and played hardest level (unlimited time) against Stockfish and smoothly won. Not sure if there was a better response from black to prevent this sequence: 1.Kd2,Kb4 2.Ke3,Be5 3.h8=Q,Bxh8 4.Kf4,Bb2 5.e5,Kc4 6.g7,Kd3 7.g8=QKc3
NVM, the computer is a dummy, and did not respond appropriately at all. Why is that?
I did the same, the outcome wouldn't be different. You could try and play black and try your moves to stop the pawns from winning 🙂
Pawns are the epitnamy of “Apes together strong”
One of those positions when you need 4p vs. B to win. Usually 3 is enough but it also depends on the king and pawns position.
What if opponent plays be5 to stop our king getting on f4 1:13
I always faced this in my games, this is so good thanks👍🏿👍🏿
Nice video!
What instead of going back and forth king go left, diagonal left, then takes pawn diagonal right
Couldnt yiu have played promotion h8 bishop takes and pawn forks?
Couldn’t u push the h pawn to promote instead of g pawn so when black took you could fork them.
Wasn't the king in check when black took?
The bishop take the pawn and the king cannot take back because of the king protect it.
that literally just loses 2 pawns
Okay so, kd2, but what does white do after Be5? Is this not a stalemate?
why not move the king to b1 in the start
In your last freez pause if pawn goes to e5, it also win for white
i have to ask 2:17 why don't you promote too a Queen the enemy bishop takes the queen and then you fork the enemy king and bishop with your pawn .
Because the bishop can take and you can't retake because of the black king
What happens if black plays Be5 on the first move to prevent the king from being able to advance to f4 later?
Then you just push any pawn. The Bishop has to take, and your king can move to f4. Then your king is too close compared to theirs, and you will queen easily. The main thing to remember though is not to waste time moving the king from F4 or G5. Once you can safely move a pawn with the king's protection, you need to do so.

Very neat puzzle, and for once I found the solution!

I'm going back and forth between 600-750 ELO, i actually got this, im kind of proud of myself even though i shouldnt be.
Nice! You should be :)
i cdnt understand the win method , even i didnt watch !!
ls there a defence to walk h6 n play g6 n occupy g6 , zugzwang of course ?
At 1:35, why can you not just move the bishop behind the first pawn, preventing the white king from crossing through the black squares and forcing a detour?
I'm pretty sure if would go
Be5, Ke3
Kb4, h8=Q
Bxh8, Kf4
Kc5, e5
Basically, you can deflect the bishop with a promotion, when it captures you can move your king to f4 anyways. Because black lost a tempo moving the bishop, the black king a little too far away to help stop white from pushing the pawns and promoting
You can play h8 to distract bishop after that go Kf4 and nobody can stop e5 move next
Coz white go Kf3, and black will have to move their King and it will be repeating all shown but with 1 move delay.
3:42 But what happen if the king after take e8, instead going back to f8, it goes to d7 instead?
King f7 wins for white
Great video clip. Thanks.
Why won't black just push thier bishop to e5? What would happen then?
You can probably calculate it, it's the same thing. Black lost 1 move with the king so white can use 1 extra move to get to h6. Just instead of Kf4-g5 you play Kf3-g4-g5 etc
1. Kd2 Be5 2. Ke3 Kb4 3. Kf3 Kc5 4. Kg4
Scenario A -
4. Kg4 Kd6?! 5. Kg5 Ke7 6. Kh6 Kf8 (continuation similar to video. White wins)
Scenario B -
4. Kg4 Bf6 5. Kf4?? Kd6 (White mistake cause black to win)
Scenario C -
4. Kg4 Bf6 5. Kh5 Kd6?! 6. Kh6 (White wins comfortably)
Scenario D-
4. Kg4 Bf6 5. Kh5 Bg7 6. Kg5 Kd6 7. f6 (Black king is too slow, white wins comfortably)
This is all I can think of. Let me know if I've missed anything
Edit: whenever I say black win, I meant draw. 😂
@@shoopi1234 Or the following would work: 1. Kd2 Kb4 2.Ke3 Be5 3. h8 (Q) BXh8 4. Kf4 Kc5 5. e5 followed by f6 and g7, and black can't stop the pawns.
This was cool one. I saw general idea, but in my version I sacrificed 2 pawns, and that was too much
Would the whole strategy still work if black moves the bishop early on to e5?
King still goes to e3 anyways,then you sacrifice a pawn by h8,king still gets the f4 square,but black king is more far away which allows e5.
finally, a puzzle without a story again. keep up your work man
If you dont like the story you can just skip it
@@brandnewbit1262 my problem is not specifically with the story. in story type puzzles, he doesn't choose good quality puzzles or focuses on story too much and doesn't focus enough on the depths of the puzzle. so skipping the story wouldn't solve my problems
Black could try Bd5 to prevent the white king from moving to c4. But then white can place the king at d3 and push forward the g- or h-pawn. When the bishop takes that pawn, the white king can move to c4.
Wow, very cool
Simpler solution: p to H8 after the position at 2:18. When bishop takes, pawn to G8 forking king and bishop.
what? that is not possible. If u mean g7, then bishop can still take, it's protected by the king
Wow. To see f6 in a real game from so far away would be amazing.
I was mostly right in what moves I would make. Neat
why at minute 3:41 didn't white get a check?
Pawn puzzle are cool n pretty ez to resolve
Three puzzles in one. Nice.
0:01 pawns are the least powerful piece but it's the most necessary piece
At 2:19 can you still play h8=Q+ and after black takes you have g7+ with the fork? Black may be able to take the pawns but your still up 2 pawns which should be winning
If you play g7+ the bishop simply takes it as your king cannot capture the defended piece for a trade.
It's not a fork, bishop just takes g7
can black first move be bishop to E5 and shut down the king ?
Love love your awesome video mate love them all
Why not bishop to e5?
Got the king move but did not predict the king moves from the other side of the table.
What prevents e5 from working at 3:21?
It would be undefended. The bishop simply takes it. I guess you can still win by playing F6 after the bishop takes your pawn, but playing F6 right away works better since that pawn is defended by the king.
That's an end game I would lose due to stress
nice content
When will puzzle #20 be posted?
can someone tell me why when your king is on h6, you can just promote the h pawn to a queen and then if he takes you fork with the paws and if he moves away you have a queen so you win the game?
If there was such a thing as Diagonal Opposition, THIS would be the Diagram to Illustrate it.
0:07 king b1
i see i am improving in seeing things. first i was like ??? huh how and how do you see this. but i saw some of these moves this time. so these puzzles actually really help me
what if black first move is bishop E5?
So you can get the queen to equalize and then he will likely agree to a draw because we have a chance at winning agaun right? What do you do if he doesnt agree to a draw?
2:20 can you just h=Qh8 and if bishop takes we fork bishop and king... o wait I'm dumb
What happens if Black plays Be5 after Ke3?
Why didn't bishop e 5 blocking the king?
I love to watch the Fischerman's puzzle.Please make episode 20.😊😊
Yes😊
Please add 4 in a row
Wait, what instead of moving the king black moves bishop to e5?
That was a lot harder than it looked.

Believe it or not, I actually figured this one.
When are you re going to upload the bobby Fisher chees episode the catapillar vs the magiction
Spoiler
2:25 my guess is to push g7 then king to g6 and then use my pawns to blockade
have you tried the tenisson gambit?
what happens if black plays 2: Be5? doesnt that completely stop whites king?

FIRST TIME I WAS able TO KNOW IT all with ez
Easy to see
Where is fisherman puzzle?I love it
Instead of keep moving the queen just move bishop to 4d
after white king came to e3, black should move bishop to e5...
what if black play bishop e5
I would have lost this one with white, i guess
2:22
BRO KING B1??????? 1:03
