The last composition took “en passant is forced” to a whole new level.
this comment is the only reason i was able to find the mate lmao, thanks
All hail Anarchy Chess!
@@eddiegness holy hell
The only way to stap mate is to en passant TF
The crazy thing is I actually found the en passant thing, but I put the pawn on F2 instead of H2 so the en passant ended up being check, and thus not mate in 2 and I'm so sad
I only solved puzzle 4, I remember Levi talking about forcing moves and there is nothing more forcing than giving your opponent a change to play an passant
ENT CROISANT!!!!!
I think you mean en peasant
hahaha
Hahaha sorry I mean en passant ofcourse, autocorrect 😅

The funny thing about the 4th puzzle is that if the pawn had already been on the board it's actually a fairly simple mate to find, but having to construct the mating setup yourself makes everything more difficult. Goes to show how hard it must be to create these compositions in the first place
You see a comment that you really like, see that there is reply; expecting something worth to read, you open it, but then you see - “contact me for prize”

He scams

Edit: i don't know if it does anything but I feel good doing it
@@laytonjr6601 it does not do much, as apparent.
these puzzles are so insane that when you recap and show the start i am surprised that that puzzle with those tricks is not a different puzzle because usually puzzles are saved in my brain as the tricks they represent
Gotham: checkmate in 24 moves.
me: trying to survive 24 moves in normal games.
Nice one
Your chess speaks for itself.
Whole video shouldve been the Hans Niemann situation cause how tf do you solve that
That’s actually funny lol

Ohh it actually speaks for me.
Hi Gotham. I am a big fan of yours. I am just 14 years old and you've brought me from 1500 to 1900. Today afternoon, I hit my peak and got to 1907. Thank you so much for all the teaching that you have done to us. You are an absolutely wonderful teacher. May god bless you with peace and prosperities. As always this is a wonderful video. All the best for your future.
why cant i get to 1000

What's your elo today?
Gotham, this is easily one of my favorite videos of yours, along with your Puzzles climb to 3200. More of this content would be an absolute joy.
Would love to see more chess compositions. There's a whole world out there but hardly anyone features them. Thanks for this.
Chess Vibes has many videos with puzzles like this one
The main English-language database is Yet Another Chess Problem Database; I believe the largest overall is the German Dieschwalbe.
@@molobog Chess vibes is awesome. Great channel.
What sucks is the fact that videos like this will often get like a third of the views that the drama videos get.
That's just cap. There's plenty of channels that cover these sorts of puzzles and compositions, especially chess vibes.
I’ve been thinking lately it would be awesome to see a new series like “guess the eval”. Like guess the elo, but various positions are shown, the stockfish eval covered up, positional considerations are discussed, and then the eval is revealed. I think it could tremendously informative and also an interesting way to discuss some of the more nuanced concepts. For instance you could even demonstrate the importance of specific pieces and their positions on the board by comparing the evals of the same board but with one piece changed/moved. Please consider it! Keep up the good work!
Levy already made that: th-cam.com/video/1QRGtoc4aXk/w-d-xo.html
@@the_listamin Sick!! I missed that. Thanks for sending 👍🏻
Anna Cramling and Hikaru have done this. Its maybe less interesting than you would think.
@@alexkuron5069 Thanks I’ll check it out!
th-cam.com/video/1QRGtoc4aXk/w-d-xo.html u good?
Levy please do more of this content. It is so fascinating how these compositions were made!!!!!
This should definitely be a series; loved this
You have been so much on point with these videos recently, just perfectly hitting the mark. Thank you so much Mr. Gotham
Definitely. I played chess back during the first lockdown a lot, and I'm excited for it again.

"Oh my goodness! Sorry, I'm allergic to pawn promotions"

(10:45)
The comedic timing on that joke was top notch! Made me lol
This was a great vid! Would appreciate more puzzle content like this from you
Really great video, I love puzzles! Wouldn't mind a whole series ;)
I legitimately got so mad at myself with that en passant one holy crap that is pure genius. Thanks Levy for making such interesting videos.
Wouldn't pawn on d7 work or what🤔🤔
@@maximuslord5934 it will stalemate
@@maximuslord5934 nah. That was my first thought as well (make Queen on d8) but it stalemates because black has no legal moves.
i almost got it i had pawn h3 and Be8 which was a similar idea but
Huge fun! Thanks. Definitely do more of these.
I love this concept! I would really enjoy more videos like this, where one can “play along”
Awesome stuff! Keep these puzzles coming! Thanks for the great content.
Could you perhaps do some sort of video on the Budapest Gambit? The videos currently on TH-cam shows only a few traps. Love your videos mate, keep it up!
"Im alergic to pawn promotions" 🤣
I'm glad you're bringing back the puzzle videos. I really liked the ones where you and some player of a different level try to solve the same puzzles
Everyone be careful
This man isn't levy rozman. It's a fake account
Love it! Definitely make more puzzle videos. Thank you!
I saw the rook sac in the second puzzle, but I would have never guessed that sacrificing the queen as well was the solution!
I wish I was lying when I say I saw knight e1 right before you showed it. I wqas thinking "how do I stop the queen from going behind my king" and I realized the knight blocks. Clever puzzle
Man, make this a series! I loved this episode, Levy 🔥😎❤️
def need more of this
thanks for all the great content you put out- the instructional and the hilariously bad both make for a good time and have helped me become a otb tournament player. much love gotham 💜
Wow this was a great video love the creativity it seems like the old Gotham is back
Love these! I love chess puzzles (almost as much as I love playing chess itself). I'm rather proud that I got both the 2nd and last puzzle... last one was even kinda easy as there's only three options. Second one was more difficult, but once I realized we had to stop the queen from being able to check the king it had to be some maneuver to block it and the rook sac was the only possibility.
Omg, levy you should really make more of this!
Levy: And now our knight is hanging.
The bishop on d1: 💀
All jokes aside, fun seeing you doing puzzles. It was deffinitely enjoyable, would love to see more!
I believe my I also said that on my other channel 😉
Again another great timeless video Gotham. Thanks for being so captivating and spectacular at covering chess!
This man is using levy rozman identity to scam and still money
this was absolutely amazing. please do more. those were crazy
At the 4 th puzzle it also works to place the pawn on f4 and play rook g1 black will push the g pawn and after that rook h1 is mate
Great puzzles, I loved them even though I couldn’t do most until I got the first move or multiple
But I’d seen a few multiple times like the first one
Please make more chess compositions🌟
OMG please more of this, this was such a fun video!!! These were so amazing and I want to see more!!
Wow I've seen so many of your videos but this one was truly something. Thanks for these.
Hey Levy 🙋♂️
Great video, as always!
I covered the first puzzle in a short a little while ago (I suspect that's where Nigel saw it).
I remember your shorts
@@gaopinghu7332 😁 great!
Whoops added the wrong link before 🤦♂️ th-cam.com/users/shorts29_nEFE_T8A?feature=share
I confidently "solved" the 3rd puzzle only to see a knight promotion ruining my plans. Crazy puzzle
Yes please more puzzle content it's my favorite kind of chess entertainment and your personality goes great with the excitement of the moves!
OMG this video is absolutely amazing! i'd love to watch you solve more insane puzzles!
I need a „But that doesn‘t do anything? OH BUT IT DOES“-Button in my life.
11:52 Crystal solves this position (Plaskett's Puzzle) in 3 seconds
And Stockfish was used to prove that it is a forced mate in at most 32 moves (it's in the Wikipedia article)
What is Crystal?
@@HawksVR An engine based on Stockfish
@@-zelda- thank you!
I hope you bring out more puzzle videos in the future, this is amazing 😍
thank you for the amazing content so regularly gotham! keep up the great work !
I'm 1400 and actually happy I was able to solve the last one without help :)
The best chess video I have seen in a long time
i was able to as a 300
i’m so happy
Levy you won’t see this, but yesterday marks one year since I’ve started playing chess. I’ve gone from a high 100 to peak 1366 rapid in this year, and took a 3 month break before discovering your channel, thank you so much for all the content you put out to entertain and educate us.

How do even become 100🤢🤮

@@Tarif2809 I’m 1800 rapid 2300 blitz and 1800 bullet (never play) and I never make fun of people based on rating chess is beautiful and gatekeeping only damages the game everyone should Be able to witness the positional wonders of chess
the last puzzle was my favorite . allowing the player to decide where their final piece is placed to start is brilliant. i had thought about placing the pawn there but.my.mond was jumping around with all of those potential places that you want that pawn in a normal game
Yes make more, love the puzzles!
Спасибо за видос, Леви!

The puzzle speaks for itself
Lol
It does
The cringe speaks for itself, literally everyone comments like this lol
Im always looking forward to watching those kinds of videos, waiting for more of those ✌️
This was such a great video and a great idea. please do more of these.
Hikaru still solves this in under 5 seconds
Hikaru doesn't count, it's well known he is half-human, half-Stockfish.
@@lazyman7505 in contrast to the full stockfish niemann
I loved it when he said "its chessin time" and chessed all over the board. These are truly some of the puzzles of all time

Great video, Levy! Would like to see more of these.
Loved this. Hope to see more of these. 👍
This was an exciting video would love to see more Hope this becomes a series
I absolutely LOVE puzzles, I really like this content, I hope it does well so you can bring more of this
This is why I love chess!! All these positions are so interesting and unique in ways that I wouldn’t even see at my level. Please make more of these videos!!!
In the 3d game what happens if when the bishop goes to d5 but then black reroutes the night by going f4 then bishop c4 and knight g1? Then that 1 knight would cover both checkmating squares.
Yeeeeeesss!!! Fantastic!!! Please make more of these!!! Super thanks!
need more of these for sure !!!
You should definitely make more videos about these! And also others! There are all sorts of retrograde analysis game, shortest sequence to reach a position, and others that are soooo cool!!! :D
I LOVE THIS! I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS!!!!
Great video! I would love to see some more of these!
That 3rd one, is that the one that only the Magician could solve after he took a smoke break?
Enjoyed a lot levy .. looking forward to more of these 😍
I enjoyed this, please make more. 😂 I love puzzles, chess compositions are definitely next level.
pls gotham i need more of these
This video was so satisfying to watch with some of these puzzles XD where can I see more of these extreme puzzle variation
Loved the puzzles. Thanks.
Great Video Love this kind of content Good job Levy
These were really fun. Thanks for sharing and explaining them through!
This could potentially be a new series that I would end up binge watching while compromising on sleep. Puzzles are always amazing! Looking forward for more!
We need more of this kind of content levi :)
Loved it, got nowhere close to solve anything but it was amazing to see these positions unfold
I absolutely loved these! solved 2 and was so close in the last two! I missed the checkmate with the bishop tho XD
Would love to see more!
Awesome video. You should do a video on hardest mate in 1 puzzles. There are some crazy ones.
please bring part 2 fast it was really fun to solve.
i actually know a puzzle similar to the last one, except the twist is you have to realize that blacks last move was a pawn push, so you could do en pessant and it was mate in 2 through that move
can't believe i saw the forced en passant mate before the hint. truly an epic puzzle
Hey Gotham, I loved this video as it showcased some brilliant moves and ideas. I would definitely appreciate some more similar ones in the future. Take care
We loved and enjoyed it plz make more videos on this
What a series. Plz upload more like this
A lot of people would still give the 'best puzzle' title to Leonid Yarosh's first Babson Task in 1983. Problems like these don't even come.
This was a lot of fun. I'd like to see more puzzles in the future. Could be cool to solve some live as well.
Loved this, please make more
I really enjoyed this positions, thanks for the video
These were utterly amazing, especially that first one. I brought up lichess to play against the computer and playing every check in a row and slowly seeing that mate in N ticking down #20, #19, #18, that was awesome. Wonderful video!
Thanks! Great video! Very entertaining and probably instructive too
This was great! id love to see more :D
The second puzzle is also forced mate in 25 moves, Stockfish says
Hi, you should make more content like that, with puzzles or brilliant computer play, because there exist such wild positions in which the winning moves are absolutely unbelievable and u taking us through such is always very enjoyable. Cheers.
Loved the video, thanks for making it.
I only got the last one, but I didn't think h4; I figured for h3, it accomplishes the same thing since the pawn capture is still the only legal move.
I loved the 2 puzzle. It just took my heart out. Btw loved your videos always
In the 2nd puzzle, that tactic with Qg5, blocking the check and sacrificing the white queen to deflect the black queen off the light squares and prevent further checks, has a specific name I'm trying to remember. I think it's called a Novotny Theme or something like that. Definitely one of the coolest tactical ideas in chess, right up there with the super rare plachutta! (A term I only know b/c Agadmator did a video on it once lol)
I've also see puzzle 3 before on Agadmator's channel. I remembered that the overall idea was to force the black king to h5 and deliver mate with just king bishop and pawn, and I remembered that the first move was Nf6+ but wayyy beyond my ability to figure the rest out, obviously. As I recall from Agad's video, the puzzle was presented to a bunch of top GMs at some tournament in the 80s. They would all try to solve it in between rounds with no success until good old Mikhail Tal decided to step away from the board and go for a walk during which that crazy brain of his figured it all out and he came back and showed everyone the solution. Crazy!
