In this video, the goal is to ESCAPE and win with the white pieces. It may take a lot of maneuvering, but there is a way to do it. Be sure to subscribe for more chess content! Big shoutout to Axerity from discord who suggested this one! It was made by ska234 from Twitch (via Axerity).
Thank you!

Honestly, I thought g6 was the answer (en passant) then you run up and grab a queen and go on from there
That is a good point, but then we would have to prove that e.p. was possible. That sounds like a good idea for a puzzle!
@@ChessforCharity I didn’t think of e.p. because what’s the chance that g5 was the last move black played?
S A M E
Super I could not solve it. Once after Na3, I was too fixated on the left side. I didn't have the idea of going back to the right . brain barrier. Today you defeated me. Great puzzle.
Thank you! I am glad you gave it a try. 🙂
Love these! Keep it up!!!
Thanks so much! 🙂
Hi! It's the original creator here! Ben Schultz (aka ska234 on Twitch). This is actually an abridged version of the puzzle. The original version was this: 3k4/8/7p/2p1p1pP/1pPpPpP1/1P1P1P2/N7/2K5 w - - 0 1
That's so awesome! Thank you for sharing! :)
@@ChessforCharity yeah, i appreciate the video. Just always irked me that the puzzle was abridged lol
originally this position had the knight on a4, but i moved it to h2 because i thought it was cooler. the puzzle maker told me that the point of the puzzle was that you had to reroute while in the opponents territory to get to the a3 square, but i didn't realize at the time. its still pretty cool how it is though.
Interesting. So, essentially, this puzzle is an original by you and somebody you know? I wonder to myself, who are these people? (I notice that attributions are rarely, if ever, given on this channel, but surely you don't need to hide your light under a bushel!)
Cheers, nice puzzle, and thank you to uploader too, if he reads this.
If I know the source of the puzzle, I put their name in the description of the video. I never want to appear that the puzzle is original to me, so I may have to get better at attributions.
Interesting! I like that idea. It amazes me how many ways there are to create these types of puzzles and how one small detail can make a huge difference. Thanks for your contribution on this one! 🙂
@@rogerkearns8094 hi! Creator here. The original is called the Trojan Horse puzzle by Ben Schultz. You can find a playlist of various recaps here: m.th-cam.com/play/PL3NxPgqsWUxdeBRVUuyBvbf1BOaCJ3e2X.html

_I may have to get better at attributions._
No, not at all, you are doing fine; with apologies I just never thought to look in the description (duhh!).
Sac the knight for Distant opposition as the King has two ways to reach the square, and black has only one.
I like the way you are thinking! 🙂
6:34 would you not just be able to put black in zugzwang with a waiting move from the king?
9:43 what if they play ...Kg7 followed by Nf5+ Kh7? Then the king is guarding the h6 pawn.
Just move your king anywhere which forces blacks king back. Then you can take the pawn on h6
the rerouting of the knight can also go via f1-g3-h1-f2-d1-b2-a4 ;-)
I got 17. Kh3 kg7, 18. nh4 gxf4, 19. Kxf4 kf6, 20. G5+ hxg5+ and break through with the h pawn. Not sure if there's a faster way.
Edit: i was playing against stockfish 8 on lichess, which took the knight on h4. If black doesnt take then best move is king to h8 that way when white plays knight f5 black plays king h7 protecting the h6 pawn. Problem is protecting the h6 pawn allows white to go and take blacks pawns on b4 and c5, allowing a breakthrough on b and c. The four outcomes i see are as follows: black accepts knight sacrifice on a3 and b and/or c pawns get pushed, black accepts knight sacrifice on h4 allowing h pawn to get pushed and whites king inside, black declines knight h4 sac and fails to protect h6, allowing h pawn in, and black does protect h6 but cant protect b4 and c5, allowing those pawns through. Theres no way to protect b4, c5, and h6 once knight gets to f5
Nice work. Thanks for putting the time in to figure that out. It is interesting to see how the computer plays it because it feels like such a weird position for an engine to evaluate.
I have seen this puzzle before and it is great but I need to say that you didn't play perfectly as black.
That is true, but the point should still be the same. Thanks for watching!
@@ChessforCharity yeah, of course. I'm just saying.
It's the last puzzle on this video: th-cam.com/video/15nuJdAUW0s/w-d-xo.html You actually have it shorter. Depending on where the black king is, you really don't have to move the king all the way to b2 to defend the knight. From your position, I move the king to d2 or d1 just so it's close enough to capture the promoted piece and advance up the a file and win. Stockfish sees you're going to do that, so it doesn't capture the knight on a3, but do watch where the black king is too as the white king might get to b2 on time to capture the promoted piece on a1, black may move the king over to defend the pawn in time and not allow white to capture it. If the black king is on the same file or to the right as the white king, it won't defend on time, if the black king is at least one file to the left of the file the white king is on, then you do have to move the king over to defend the knight.
When moving the knight back to the king side of the board, shorter would be to first play the king to g2, h3, then play the knight to g2, h4, it saves a king move. Once I got this down packed playing it from St. Louis Chess Club, then I wanted to play it as short as possible, clearing the king from the knight's path early on, and not waste any moves.
Good job, you were a little sloppy at the end though. Shoulder that king and don't let it have any counter play.
Yeah, I got too excited at the end there. 😂
8:30 what about if the black king stays on an adjacent square to play f5 on the turn where you pickup the pawn with the king ? the knight cant "waste a move" and if you try to go back with the king to do some triangle movement the opposite king can do the same.
Then you would play g5, temporarily sacrificing the pawn. If black takes, you play Kg4 and win back the pawn
the moment i see the pieces, i felt like moving the king is the way
Yeah, there is a lot of blocking happening in the middle, so even the king needs to be helped out. Thanks for watching!
I saw all the moves except Nc2 after Nc2 I saw all the new lines again. (and find the winning line) This puzzle is amazing but it is pretty easy except for the Knight rerouting part.
I know exactly what you mean! Once you see that key insight, it all works out. Thanks for watching!
Nf1-ng3?
9:59 if the king went to g7, then you can defend it
If white makes a king move, it's zugswang and the black king must move away from the pawn.
Once I got a position similar to this one (but there were more pieces on the board).
Cool! Now you know what do to if those pieces end up coming off. Thanks for watching!
I got this off of St. Louis Chess Club, only the starting position had the knight on a2, white king on c1, black king on d1, the knight made 3 trips across the white side of the board, 1 breakthrough on the black side before the 3rd trip across, so right away I got this.
*me thinking of cooking nuggies while playing chess*
Haha, you are making me hungry!
Can you do this but with the h5/h6 pawns in h3/h4? Is it a draw or white can still win?
That is a great question! I am not sure. The position is in the description, so if you want to put it into an editor, you may be able to play around with it to see if that makes a difference. If you do, let me know how that goes! 🙂
Nope, it’s drawn. You need the weak pawn base for this mechanism to work.
Yeah just checked and it's a draw...
Cool
Thanks!
