    This is very good teaching with the main ideas, how strong and tricky the Knight is in making forks and how there is always a trade-off, because the King or Pawn move seemingly improving your position will turn out to be fatal after ten moves. I am very lazy in calculations, and this is a great practice for that. Thank you!

    Welcome to the world of modern endgame studies!
    This is a very nice study and most likely rather recent. I don't have it in my database but will update with the source as soon as I can get it. This kind of small apparently insgnficant differences between two lines where one piece (the black king in this case) ends up placed in a different position which changes everything but only at the very end are called "logical tries" and are quite "en vogue" in modern study composition.
    Edit, source : Sergey Didukh, 9th-10th prize, WCCT 2016
    Didukh is one of the most brilliant study composer of the last two decades. WCCT is the world chess composition tournament. Didukh (and his teacher Oleg Pervakov) are famous especially for their work in logical tries, which this study illustrates perfectly.
    Logical tries were actually the required theme for studies in the WCCT10 (2016) :
    "A logical study with the foresight theme. In a win or a draw study,
    there is at least one logical try. In this try a critical position B occurs
    that is very similar to a critical position A in the solution, except for
    a small difference.
    Studies in which the critical positions are based on a reciprocal
    zugzwang (i.e. the difference is that position A has BTM and
    position B has WTM) are non-thematic. Further, studies that only
    feature the 7th WCCT theme as the foresight theme (passive
    removal of a white piece as a Vorplan and returning to the position
    and executing the main plan) are also non-thematic."

    The real genius is not only the one who solves the study, but the composer himself. According to my database, the author is Ukrainian chess player Serhiy Didukh (2016). If we already think we've solved the problem, let's find a hidden defense! Fantastic! National champion Nelson Lopez really has the best videos to be seen on TH-cam in my opinion!

      Thing is in the modern day composers have access to engines. They can ask the computer what the best line is, and see what happens in every other line. OTOH it's generally bad form to use an engine to solve a chess puzzle and claim you solved it.

      @@Person01234 Your comment, however, is not about the author. He has to invent the study in the first place. The actual solution will usually be solved by the computer, but 1/ it will 'tell' you how, not why; 2/ there are quite a few studies in which the engine fails. These are mostly strength positions.

    One final trick in the position with Nf4, white pawn on f5 and pawn on d6: 1. ... d5+. We cannot go Kc5 or Kb4 due to Nxd3 check. So 2.Kb5, 2.Kb3 and 2.Kc3 ( 2. ... d4+ 3. Kb3 ) are avoiding last trick.

    No hay necesidad de sacrificar el alfil, si lo movemos a a7, el caballo negro necesariamente tendrá que ir a d7.
    Explicación: si el negro corona, nosotros movemos el rey a g6. Notemos que la reina no puede hacer jaque.
    La idea es que si las blancas quitan la dama la fila 1 tenemos jaque mate en e1 con la torre. Y si mantiene la dama en la columna movemos la torre a e2 y en la siguiente jugadas podemos dar mate en h2 con la torre.
    La única manera en que el negro puede evitar eso es moviendo el caballo a e2.

    • @imguilty006
      @imguilty006 ปีที่แล้ว

      Black can take pawn on f5 with check with knight, white moves Kf4 trying to stop the knight, black moves Nh6 blockading your h pawn and king from moving any closer. Then it turns into a race between the white king to capture blacks a pawn before it promotes where the white king wins the race, but gives the black king enough time to capture whites f pawn making his f pawn a past pawn and manages to protect and promote the f pawn.
      Black wins White loses in this variation

    So i Paused the Video on 0:34 to share my idea.
    I looked at the Puzzle in the Beginning for about 5 minutes and the Only Winning Move i see is Bf2.
    Let me Explain:
    The Pawn on b2 is one square away from Queening so we need a Strat to let it not happen. The Bishop blocks the Way for our Rook. If we move the Bishop to f2 the Rook has the entire e-File to came back and stop the Pawn from Queening. With Bf2 the e1-Square is protected by the Bishop and if the Pawn Queens we have simply Re1 with a Royal Fork with check and we trade our Rook for the Queen. If the Pawn doesnt promote and the King moves to g2 to capture the Bishop we play Re1 anyway to cover the b1 square. If the King takes on f2 we play Rb1 and win the Pawn and have a winnig Rook Endgame.
    I hope it was right.
    Edit:
    I was completly wrong, didnt see the move Nc1.
    But bruh, seeing 18 Moves into the future with all these Tactics? its nearly Impossible to see^^ I think even Magnus Carlsen didnt see this xD

      It does allow the rook to go to e1. But, the rook would not be protected like it would be if the bishop was on d2. So if we took the pawn on a7, black could just promote. And if we try to check on e1 the black queen can just take our rook.

    15:05 What if, instead of ...Nxf4, Black plays ...Ng5? That prevents h7, and it would take White 6 moves to support that Pawn.
    A little aside: Can anyone actually analyze all these Knight moves in their head? 😳😱

    This right here illustrates why humans will never equal the top tier chess bots. I'm pretty damn sure even Magnus could never have seen the G2 idea so far ahead. But Stockfish could.
