I saw the queen sacrifice on a2 immediately, but didn't understand the point, because the white knight can't move to c2... However, the pattern was already known. Sam Loyd The Chess Monthly 11/1857 1. Preis has created a tricky chess problem in a mirrored position: White: Kc7, Qb2, Rg8 Nf2 Black: Kg2, g3, f4 White mate in 3 moves: 1.Ng4+ Kh1 2.Qh2+ gxh2 3.Nf2# It is composed much earlier.
"This knight really wants to be sacrificed" *Queen sacrifice wins*. I would have been stuck here for like an hour if I paused and tried to figure that one out.
This is a study, not a game, but supposing the players were using a clock, a draw would not be possible. If White runs out of time, they simply lose because Black has enough material on the board to mate his opponent, and if Black runs out of time, they lose because White is still able to give checkmate even though they only have a king and a knight on the board.
5:15 -- please *DO SHOW* _MORE_ variations of why exactly Black *CAN'T PLAY ANOTHER MOVE THAN BISHOP TAKES KNIGHT... :/* Very lazy and unprofessional, seriosuly... :/ .
What a genius was Paul Keres!
Agree, very elegant study.
That was truly brilliant. I have always loved Keres and especially his games against Fischer
Sir, u r really great ! Queen sacrifice was not at all expected.
I did not think the Queen sacrifice would work, but it does!
It's a gem. Unbelievable 😊
Best puzzle yet posted on this channel!

Greetings from Tallinn, Estonia...!
Once again, first move was easy but I couldn't find the follow up after the double check!
Very Beautiful queen sacrifice
Amazing!
Nice one!
Fantastic!
Amazing
Never occurred to me once that the Queen was able to be sacrificed! What was the specific reason the ingenious Keres never became World Champion?
(@3:23) - Ermmm, no. After Nc2, Black simply plays … b2+, Kd1 (forced) b1=Q+, Ke2 (again, forced) Bxc2 and white will get a draw at best.
Nc2 puts black in check, so that line is not possible.
That was great!
Amazing.
A very good Puzzle!
Great.
Impressive !

1) Nc2 ch -- Ka2 (if -- BxN ; 2) Qb8! Treat Q a5 # for b2; 3) KxB wins & ) 2) Nb4 double check -- Kal;3)Qa2ch -- Kxa2; 4) Nc6 followed by d5 wins.
if 2) ---Ka3;3)Nd3 -- BxN; 4) Qd6ch -- if Ka4; QxB wins & if Ka2; Qd5 threats Qa6#
I was doing good until the queen sacrifice.
After 1…bc 2.Qf4! saves a move.
Keres called “ Paul the Second “because he was a great player often denied victory at the death in the old Soviet days. We believe he wuz robbed.
I love your channel, but I question how the black king out ran his pawns, not very likely or realistic.
Keep the K out of corners!
Perhaps, in the final position in this video, black can draw by flagging himself, i.e. running out of time. Please discuss
