He used 20 seconds to simulate a realtime decision making in an actual game. Of course it would be much easier if one leisurely took there time to play
Thanks for the puzzles. You don’t need to give the 20 seconds with a clock ticking though. People will just pause the video. You can just say you’ll give a few seconds and tell viewers to pause if they like.
Seeing such pawn positions in 2nd puzzle, an experienced chess puzzle solver will immediately think that the solution is pawn promotion which won't make a stalemate for black. So either promotion to a knight or bishop. For this case it's promotion to a knight. There are other puzzles that I have seen which involve two consecutive pawn promotions to different pieces such as : knight followed by bishop or vice versa or combination of promotions to rook/knight/bishop. Usually those are found in 3 or 4 moves puzzles which therefore are more difficult.
Maybe it's in the comments here but in the first puzzle you didn't cover the possibility of 1) Qg7 ... Nh2. That covers the g4 square so White can't mate with Bg4. White could mate, however, with Qg5.
In the first puzzle, if Whites does move is Queen to G7, then Black can escape mate by moving Knight to G5. Then the Black King can move from the edge of the board.
In first puzzle, what about Black's moving his knight to G5 to block the queen and give his king the (temporary) escape square of H4? Queen can't then take the knight, must work around it for her next move. I can't see a way for White to mate in one more move; Black's king would be on a black square, so bishop would be useless; and I can't see any way for White's queen to check Black's king that the king cannot escape for at least one more move. I don't think you've shown us the correct solution yet--if there even is one.
What happens with the Mate in 2 when after Queen G7 Rook G8 is played? Obviously black will loose no matter what, but Mate with Queen G4 won't work (Rook x Queen G4) nor with Bishop G4 (King x Pawn H4) nor with Bishop F7 (again King x Pawn H4) nor Queen i.e. H6 (King G3)... What am I overlooking, please?
Can somebody help me with this chess problem?? Seven figures join the white queen, who waits, facing the board. The black queen, the black rook, and the white pawn stand on one side of the board. The white bishop, the white rook, and the black bishop stand opposite. The black rook stands to the immediate right of the white king and directly across from the white bishop. The white pawn stands directly across from the white rook and to the white queen's immediate left. The black queen, white pawn, white king, and black rook leave the board first, each one following the other.. The answer is a 4 letter word. There is this drawing too with a black rectangle with the white queen been on left side of rectangle and with 3 lines across the top of rectangle. First line has letter A on top then second line has the C on top and then the third line has the E on top.. Then, on bottom of rectangle there are another 3 lines across the bottom of rectangle. One line has letter B, second line letter D and third line letter F. and on opposite side of rectangle across from white queen is another line with letter G on it . I think I gotta use this as a clue to unscramble the 4 letter word. I used my chess board to tried to unscramble it by placing chess pieces just like the instructions said but iam confused about the drawing and the last part of the clues
I'm Sorry. I didn't realize , are you a youngster? If you could somehow show me the picture you are describing I might be able to help. I'm just no good at word puzzles.
A more elegant solution is queen takes rook at H8, black king moves G6 since thats the only option, and then pawn moves H5 which is checkmate. This is better since black has only one possible move of king G6, as compared to multiple choices in the solution provided. Thanks!
Actually did anyone notice that if in the first puzzle first move is Q-g7 and black plays R-g8 how will you mate him in the next 1 move left????please like if I'm true and comment if have an answer
Your name makes my comment ironic because it seems you are the dumb one here, if rook to h6 Bg4 isnt mate because king can then take the pawn, and if the rook moves to the left Qh7 isnt mate because king g5
CANT DO KING G5 BECAUSE ITS GUARDED BY THE PAWN AND THE PAWN IS PROTECTED BY THE QUEEN. BUT THE RH6 ISNT MATE WHEN BISHOPS CHECKS THE B.KING, YOU CAN AVOID CHECKMATE IN 2 AT ALL :D
benbert Ascano If he moves rook on the 8th line or h7... Qh7# If he moves rook h6, Qg4# If he moves knight h4, Bg4# If he moves knight anywhere else, Qg5# or Qxg5# Qg7 leads to a checkmate in 2 no matter what black does afterward.
You can exactly predict that it is mate in 2.. if black respond on RG8 then white need 3 moves to check mate black king Except first white move is to check black king Sorry dude
My answer in first is qg7 threatening checkmate in bg4 The second one is a little bit hard but the pawn in b7 is have to promote in knight then black doesn’t have any moves he has to take the knight then qg8 checkmate B8=n kxe8 qg8#
ISwearSheLooked19 The rook moves left at all Qh7 If Rh6, Qg4 If Rh7, Qxh7 If Nxh4, Bf7 If Ng5, Qxg5 If the Knight goes anywhere else Qg5 If Kxh4, Qg4 Please get better at chess.
You Is Dumb Sorry you're wrong on one variation. If 1... Nxh4 2.Bf7 is not checkmate. Ng6 follow. Not only it's not a checkmate in 2, but it's not even a checkmate in 3 or in 4 after that. 2.Bg4 is the correct solution to Nxh4.
When you show puzzles at least let the viewers try themselves. Under your channel no one can move the pieces and should wait for your moves. It is more irritating than interesting.
We have a pause button.

Thanks for the puzzles. You don’t need to give the 20 seconds with a clock ticking though. People will just pause the video. You can just say you’ll give a few seconds and tell viewers to pause if they like.
Me: _What if I move the rock?_
Guy of the puzzle: *YOU WHAT!?*
Yea thats what i'm thinking too. You cant mate it in 2 moves
If you move the rook (anywhere), it's still mate in two. Here's how:
1.Qg7, Rg8 2.Qh7#
1.Qg7, Rh7 2.Qxh7#
1.Qg7, Rh6 2.Qg4#
i feel like getting off my ride and just push u to speak faster man damn ur making me paralyzed
Black can try try to interrupt mate in 2 with R-G8 or R-h7
But Q-h7+ or Qxh7+ does the trick
I love checkmates in 2. First 20 minutes of thinking: it's impossible, then like a thunder: it's obvious!
What if black played Ng5?
Yz8dt9cjfkq
The black can move the castle and attack the white queen by g8 as first move instead to move the horse
If the rook moves to G8 there will not be a check mate in 2 moves
good puzzles
Second puzzel ,mate in 3 variation. King to b8 . King captures knight . Pawn to a8 ( queen ) . King d8 or f8. King a7 check mate with 2 queens
Seeing such pawn positions in 2nd puzzle, an experienced chess puzzle solver will immediately think that the solution is pawn promotion which won't make a stalemate for black. So either promotion to a knight or bishop. For this case it's promotion to a knight.

True, the 2nd problem (Dawson) isn't difficult, but see my comment below. It's a very neat mutate in miniature.
The solution to the 1st puzzle is about to put black in "zugzwang" position.
The second puzzle was really good. I subbed.
No that allows black to advance his pawn.
Qd5 is not the answer
Because he can move the pawn
You have to promote in knight its like a backrank checkmate
ALL POSSIBILITIES EXPLAINED
1) Qg7
...1) Kxh4 -> 2) Qg4#
...1) Nxh4 -> 2)Bf7#
...1) Rg6 -> 2)Qg4#
...1) a different rook move -> Qh7#
...1) a different knight move -> Qg5#
If Nxh4 you dont play Bf7 because of Ng6 instead of that you play Bg4
Can u underpromote to a pawn?
yes. you can promote to anything but a king. but can't keep the pawn either.
th-cam.com/video/J6bGKBDwnGc/w-d-xo.html
I want tö promote to an enemy Queen.
First puzzle would be foiled if he moved his knight to e5. You cannot absolutely force mate in 2. You're wrong
Why would you do check mate in 2 when you can just do bishop to f7 mate in 1 on the first one?
for 1st puzzle Bf7 is a checkmate maybe mate in 1??
no
You do realize that this video was 7 years ago don't you? LOL
second puzzle was really good!
Easy peasy puzzle
for the second puzzle the thought process is a bit short. It is much more natural to first try all possibilities without promotions.
Maybe it's in the comments here but in the first puzzle you didn't cover the possibility of 1) Qg7 ... Nh2. That covers the g4 square so White can't mate with Bg4. White could mate, however, with Qg5.
I spent like 1-2 houres to solve this
In the first puzzle, if Whites does move is Queen to G7, then Black can escape mate by moving Knight to G5. Then the Black King can move from the edge of the board.
Nevermind, forgot about the Pawn.
How do you say in two moves
First puzzle was actually easy
Wouldn't knight to G5 prevent mate in 2 on the first example?
+The Water Guy I think that, in this case, after Q to G7, and your move, knight G5, then Queen takes the knight, mate, right?
+EWRwer dgfdgdg The first move is Queen to G7, then Queen takes the knight if blacks try to prevent mate with knight to G5.
@EWRwer dgfdgdg it is mate due to the pawn defending the queen
In first puzzle, what about Black's moving his knight to G5 to block the queen and give his king the (temporary) escape square of H4? Queen can't then take the knight, must work around it for her next move. I can't see a way for White to mate in one more move; Black's king would be on a black square, so bishop would be useless; and I can't see any way for White's queen to check Black's king that the king cannot escape for at least one more move. I don't think you've shown us the correct solution yet--if there even is one.
What happens with the Mate in 2 when after Queen G7 Rook G8 is played? Obviously black will loose no matter what, but Mate with Queen G4 won't work (Rook x Queen G4) nor with Bishop G4 (King x Pawn H4) nor with Bishop F7 (again King x Pawn H4) nor Queen i.e. H6 (King G3)... What am I overlooking, please?
Q-H7
@@stevesevents361 K-G5 ... and no mate in 2
@@danitour-granada311 Can't do. Check. The pawn is moving up the board not down.
@@rc4716 Uups... :) Thank you!
Queen captures ruke . And then queen to h7 is checkmate. Right
The first puzzle was mate in 1 not 2 as you described. Mate in 1 is BG4
Bg4 Kxg4
For the second puzzle, can't you move Queen waiting move D4, forcing the king to take the knight and then promote the pawn for checkmate?
Jarah Fluxman I think you mean d5, but yes, that appears to work.
no because in that case black can push his pawn,
what if black plays rook to g8 after you played queen g7, it seems to ruin your mate in 2 no?
Then Queen to h7 is checkmate!
What if he doesn’t take the pawn at all then it won’t be mate in 2?...
the correct move is Q takes F3 putting black In check...than Q to G4 and game over
if the king doesn't take the pawn, it won't be a mate in two moves. the game will still be over soon, but not as efficiently.
The first one was hard. Didn’t get it until the hint about covering the g file. Second one was pretty easy :)
Dileep Mv
What if black played Ng5?
1st puzzle is bf7 also right?
That allows K to escape to g4.
Ony Q to g7..
What if horse will go to E5? On the first puzzle...
Bishop to F7 is checkmate. Just one step.
Bf7 is NOT checkmate.
First puzzle : And when black's first move is Ne5 ? Queen takes the knight, it's only check, not a checkmate
It's white to move.
@@PatrickFestaPatman I mean : 1. Qg7 Ne5 2. Qxe5+ - only check, no checkmate. So white will checkmate the black king, but not in two moves 🙂

Seven figures join the white queen, who waits, facing the board.
The black queen, the black rook, and the white pawn stand on one side of the board.
The white bishop, the white rook, and the black bishop stand opposite.
The black rook stands to the immediate right of the white king and directly across from the white bishop.

Couldn't the queen taken either the rook or knight?
Gaming Funnel No, because mate in 2 has to be forced.
I mean, the answers are soooo obvious
Perhaps, but please notice that this video is about 8 years old now. please visit my newer playlist for more.
No mate on the frst puzzle f knight will go to E5
First puzzle........ Black ruck G8 than not checkmate in two move ......... Check nowww
devbrat dwivedi If Rook goes G8 then Queen goes F7 for checkmate. Do you see that??
@@GotStones1 h7*
if Qg7 and after that black Bg8,there's not checkmate in two move
hog rider same solution as if Blacks moved Knight(?) in H8
Qf6-Qh8, ph4-ph5
That is ez just move the queen to g7 after that knight move to e4 QUEEEEEEEEEN g5 checkmate.
Dg7! es la jugada que da mate en 2
I guess there should be no rook in puzzle 1.
A more elegant solution is queen takes rook at H8, black king moves G6 since thats the only option, and then pawn moves H5 which is checkmate.
This is better since black has only one possible move of king G6, as compared to multiple choices in the solution provided.
Thanks!
but then king moves to g5 and game continues.
You can not checkmate in h5 coz the king down to g5 haha.
Actually did anyone notice that if in the first puzzle first move is Q-g7 and black plays R-g8 how will you mate him in the next 1 move left????please like if I'm true and comment if have an answer
king h7 mate
Why is this the only puzzle video getting attention???
Only one getting recommended I don't know why
Have no idea
There are other alternatives in the first puzzle.. Mate in 2 can be avoided
Shuaib Mohammad NOPE
1st one can be blocked with night to g5
Joseph Zauner Queen would just capture knight for checkmate. It’s protected by pawn
what if he didnt take the pawn ?? there is no checkmate in 2 probably
benbert Ascano if he moves the Knight, Qg5
If he moves the rook to h6, Bg4
If he moves the rook left at all, Qh7
Your name makes my comment ironic because it seems you are the dumb one here, if rook to h6 Bg4 isnt mate because king can then take the pawn, and if the rook moves to the left Qh7 isnt mate because king g5
CANT DO KING G5 BECAUSE ITS GUARDED BY THE PAWN AND THE PAWN IS PROTECTED BY THE QUEEN. BUT THE RH6 ISNT MATE WHEN BISHOPS CHECKS THE B.KING, YOU CAN AVOID CHECKMATE IN 2 AT ALL :D
ISwearSheLooked19 King can't move to g5 because of the pawn. I was wrong about Bg4 but Qg4 is mate
benbert Ascano
If he moves rook on the 8th line or h7... Qh7#
If he moves rook h6, Qg4#
If he moves knight h4, Bg4#
If he moves knight anywhere else, Qg5# or Qxg5#
Qg7 leads to a checkmate in 2 no matter what black does afterward.
sorry it can't be done in 2. if i move the knight at G5 after the Queen G7 king escapes
Jun Boadilla he can take G5 with his queen then and still checkmate, right?
@@nauratius6514 yes
What if black plays rook to g8 after q b7?
miket691 I think you mean Q G7, not Q B7

White move - Q g7
Black should defense R h7
And NO checkmate
Then Q x h7 is also mate.
Yes i know im just joking 😂
completely wrong in the first puzzle black can play Rg8 and it will not become a mate n 2
Negative, Qh7 is Mate.

These are from a puzzle book. And I made this video 3 years ago. Thank you for watching.
Yah i am the 1000th sub
Second puzzle could be

ray mendez you're right my bad. In my defense I was commenting that at 3am and I'm shit at chess.
At first quiz there's another solution. first move Qh8. then black needs to bg6. white will follow with pawn h5
After those moves, the king could go back to g5 because the pawn has advanced and left g5 unprotected
