This study was used in the book by Hans-Hilmar Staudte and Milu Milescu as an opening hook, showing how exciting seemingly boring endgames can be. And how out of absolutely nowhere checkmate can occur.
@@suserman7775 Maybe I could have worded it better. It was captured right when it got promoted, so you did 'stop it' in one way, but I see your point. 🙂
@@ChessforCharity I think the idea is that the pawn isn't even captured, but rather black is mated right after promotion instead. It was a technicality I noticed too, but I got the point of the puzzle.
Me when i saw the picture: maybe nc6 then nb4 so i can capture the pawn wait that dosnt work ill just watch the video My mind: idk the move... I give up Me watching this video: i DIDNT THINK IT WAS HANGING Me: I tumbled into the right move... If it dont take... I WIN AY lol
If you would like to know, I can explain the history and reasoning for it being a move. The main idea is that it is there to prevent a player from getting a passed pawn by moving it 2 squares next to an opponent's pawn and instead allow the pawn to capture it as if it only moved 1 space.
Great question! I should have shown that line. In that case, the pawn can easily be tracked down and the bishop can capture the pawn. Thanks for watching!
@@ChessforCharity but how the people will know you will be using it for charity? Its better you avoid the word charity from the name. you give any money earned to charity. No need of shouting it out that I am doing charity. Any way I like your puzzles. and very nicely explained. You will automatically get subscribers
@@dileepmv7438 They know I am doing it for charity because of the posts I make in my Community tab. I am happy with the way I have it now, but I appreciate the feedback. :)
You were right when you said “if this was a puzzle would you even play on?”
In a real game of chess I would have never seen any of this.
That is how I feel! It is amazing the types of tricks that exist in the position. Thanks for watching. 🙂
This one's a classic! One of my favorites.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Really amazing video. I think one of the hardest to see the solution
Thank you! It was a tough one! 🙂

Almost 4,000 subs! Don't forget your OG fans when you get famous...
Thank you! 🙂 I do my best to remember everyone from when I had very few subs! I appreciate all of the support!
Brilliant study. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!
World famous and well known study.
If I was white I would have given up. As black, I would have cried if I saw white recover like that. This is such a stunning puzzle
I know exactly what you mean. I feel the same way on both accounts. Thanks for watching! 🙂
absolutely wonderful!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I got it all until King b7. I really like this one
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Bf6, f2, c4+, c3 enpassant, bxc3 protected by pawn… and then you save the knight
"they don't have to capture en passant" wait what?
Thank you for adding the name of the composer!
No problem! I always want to give credit to the greats of puzzle composition!
this is not hard. mostly, BUT d3 is not a move i could ever find - that is the real genius of this puzzle :)
Great video. I subbed.
Thank you for your support! 🙂
Cool puzzle. But the title is misleading, because in the solution you do not stop the pawn from promoting.
What if black play d6 insteed promote pawn to queen?
Amazing!!
Thank you!
The title says "Stop the Pawn". The pawn was never stopped. Misleading.
Well, you had to stop the pawn from promoting in order to win. Sorry you saw that as misleading. Thanks for watching!
@@ChessforCharity But the pawn DID promote.

I think my brain seized up after d3
I know what you mean! That is a tough sequence to find. Thanks for watching!
Awsome
Thanks!
Even though I am a 1600 I solved this puzzle in 5 seconds due to me visualising patterns
That is awesome!
In last move a1=lose, but what if just King b4?
Bxd4
Me when i saw the picture: maybe nc6 then nb4 so i can capture the pawn wait that dosnt work ill just watch the video
My mind: idk the move... I give up
Me watching this video: i DIDNT THINK IT WAS HANGING
Me: I tumbled into the right move... If it dont take... I WIN AY lol
Haha, nice! I am glad it worked out in the end. Thank you for watching! 🙂
5:55 is this move according to the rules? Also, solved.
Do you mean taking the white pawn "en passant" after c4 ? There are no illegal moves in this video.
Yes, all of the moves here are according to the rules. Thanks for watching!

I did not see the mate there... , anyway great content
Once you are able to stop the pawn and secure everything, the win should not be too tough from there. Thanks for watching!
What if the king declines the knight and comes to c4.?
I thought similar.... Great puzzle but king doesn't have to take
Then, Bishop goes to f6 and the next move is Bishop takes on d4.
Great question! I should have shown that line. In that case, the pawn can easily be tracked down and the bishop can capture the pawn. Thanks for watching!
the name is put like "chess for charity" just for attracting people to subscribe
I would like more people to subscribe because that helps out charity even more. I did not name it that *just* to get people to subscribe though.

The title of the puzzle must be changed. You did not stop the pawn, yes whites win but the pawn was not stopped
PLEASE HELP ME
With what?
What do you need help with?
