I think this is the puzzle's answer: Qd8+, Rxd8, Rxd8+, then you have two branches If Re8 to block, Bc5+ and Qxc5 is forced to remove the defender, then fxe8# with queen promotion If Qe8 to block, fxe8 and promote to queen, Rxe8 is forced and then Bc5# because the rook is pinned at e8

The puzzle: Qd8+, Rxd8, Rxd8+, Re8, fxe8=Q+, Qxe8, Bc5#... I think. If the rook chooses to block instead of taking the queen, the pawn takes the rook first, you just wait for all the exchanges to happen on e8, force the final black rook to block the Bishop, then bring the last white rook to the 8th rank and mate. I think there's a variation where, after the pawn has moved from f7 the king can take on e8, but the bishop takes the pawn on a4 and it's check, and mate again very shortly.
Puzzle: 9:29 1. Qd8, Rxd8,Rxd8, Re8, pxe8, Qe8, Bb5 mate! (If black takes the queen with rook ) 2. Qd8, Re8, Pxe8, Qxe8, Qxe8, Rxe8, Bb5,Re7, Rd8 mate ( if black block the check with rook ) 😎 Don't underestimate a 1000 elo player 😒.
After Qd8+, there are three replies, all of which lose. 1. Qd8+ Qe8, 2. fxe8=Q+ Rxe8 3. Bc5+ Rxc5 4. Qd6+ Re7 5. Qxc5 and next move Rd8. If 1. Qd8+ Re8 then 2. Bc5+ and is best for black (but still losing) to take with the rook on c5: ... Rxc5 3. fxe8=Q+ Qxe8 4. Qd6+ Qe7 5. Qb8+ Qe8 6. Rd8 and black can't even take the rook... And finally as others have pointed out 1. Qd8+ Rxd8 2. Rxd8+ and either Re8 followed by Bc5+ or Qe8 followed by fxe8=Q= both win.
Checkmating with a pawn feels satisfying. Today I mated with b6# while white had a checkmate in 1 if it were their move for at least 5 moves while I was hunting their king in the middle of the board. And I never ended up moving my bishop which came in handy cutting off A6.
Hey wait a minute. How is it that I had already been using this very same plan for some time now? The only exception is that I place my dark-squared bishop on f4 instead, and I trade off that bishop asap, after ensuring that it can't escape, and only then start my pawn storm
I've been learning off your videos for a few months now, thanks for your commitment to teaching, a grand pursuit. This opening has had me break my over the table opponents at my local club... I've been struggling there, winning rarely, last Tuesday I won 2 of 3, two out of three ain't bad...
PUZZLE ANSWER I think Bg5 their are many possibilities for the black to response but the correct way to survive for the game is Re8, Be7+, Re7+, Qd7 then whatever white blocks in e8 trade everything then play Ba4+ atlast u end with ur light squre bishop, rook and several pawn the Black has dark spuare bishop and seceral pawns.
What if black doesn’t recapture Qd8 allowing you to bring your rook down, and they just block with rook or queen? Then their rook on c8 takes your bishop after pxe8, qxe8. I just don’t think you can assume Rxd8
Easy puzzle this time. Sack the queen on the 8th rank, and take back with the rook for a bank rank checkmate. Your pawn is guarded by the bishop on b3.
@@shingie055 Then take the rook with the pawn, making a new queen or rook. If black queen takes, checkmate by moving the queen back to d6 on the diagonal.
I don't understand, at about 4'33'', why would black recapture the pawn with the h pawn (opening that dangerous open file for the rook) instead of recapturing with the f pawn (getting a semi-open file for his own rook) ? The f pawn isn't pinned anymore due to the Knight on c4... What am I missing ?
Bishop on B3 is on the diagonal that goes through F7 straight to G8 king. Yes the Knight is on C4 and blocks that whilst being defended. But you are hard pinning an active piece to your king. So effectively neutralising your queenside attack until you block the diagonal again.

Beautiful strategy here but I'm addicted to the Alapin whenever I encounter the Sicilian myself. What are your thoughts on the ol Alapin variation?
The puzzle: Qd8+, Rxd8, Rxd8+, Re8, fxe8=Q+, Qxe8, Bc5#... I think. If the rook chooses to block instead of taking the queen, the pawn takes the rook first, you just wait for all the exchanges to happen on e8, force the final black rook to block the Bishop, then bring the last white rook to the 8th rank and mate.

2. Qd8, Re8, Pxe8, Qxe8, Qxe8, Rxe8, Bb5,Re7, Rd8 mate ( if black block the check with rook )
😎 Don't underestimate a 1000 elo player 😒.

Given the topic of this video,
1. Bh6 Qc5 I don't see anything better
2. Bxg7+ Kxg7
3. Rg1+ Kh7
4. Qg6+ Kh8
5. Qh6#
Hey wait a minute. How is it that I had already been using this very same plan for some time now? The only exception is that I place my dark-squared bishop on f4 instead, and I trade off that bishop asap, after ensuring that it can't escape, and only then start my pawn storm
The point of not trading immidately is to keep the pawns in place

Doesn't Qg6 work?
@@robertbarnes2598 Then pawn takes bishop on b3
Bishop c5 and black loses instand by taking with queen or suffers material loss after taking with the rook and white queen to d8
What if black doesn’t recapture Qd8 allowing you to bring your rook down, and they just block with rook or queen? Then their rook on c8 takes your bishop after pxe8, qxe8. I just don’t think you can assume Rxd8
Time stamp ?
Qg6 followed by Rg1 , Qg7# (I think any black defence in-between fails due to threat of Rd8)
How about Q-D8 forces RxD8, RxD8 forces R-E8, B-C5 forces QxC5, P-E8 Q & mate
Both Qd8+ and Bc5 are incredible move
@remotechessacedemy 4:35 what do you do when he takes with the other pawn?
He can't take with other pawn....
Stockfish also says he shouldve taken with the other pawn
"Before this game, Ben Larson was actually straight, but was broken by Bobby Fischer".... Ummm, what?? What does that mean??
I guess he was bent
was wondering about this as well - just a poor attempt at humor?
His name was not Ben Larson. It was Bent Larsen.
@@Gregory_McIntosh Ohhhhhh! hahah. Now it makes sense.
Is there perhaps more than one way to win this puzzle? Seems like Bh6 maybe also works?
Ah! Nevermind. Black would just take the Bishop on b3 after that and spoil the whole thing. LOL
I know that Qd8+ is winning in the puzzle but im pretty sure that Bc5 works about the same way
You are a best chess analyser
Great video! My only question is how to defend against this attack? I’ve had this used against me
Don't castle into a trap. IMO don't castle to the side where your opponent is building up an attack.
Im no expert but h5 push is important if you cant trade off the bishop
Fascinating strategies
QxE7 Chess ! KxE7 Take, Bishop G5 Chess Mate ! Corect ? Thank you for all GM Igor Smirnov !!!
Igor really said Larsen got BUCK BROKEN lmao
Easy puzzle this time. Sack the queen on the 8th rank, and take back with the rook for a bank rank checkmate. Your pawn is guarded by the bishop on b3.
Rook dznt have to take black can block with the other rook
@@shingie055 Then fxe8=Q and you promote with checkmate.
It´s not checkmate i´m realising now. Black can take with the queen.
@@shingie055 Then take the rook with the pawn, making a new queen or rook. If black queen takes, checkmate by moving the queen back to d6 on the diagonal.
9:28 1. Qd8+ Rxd8 2. Rxd8+ Re8 3. Bc5+ Qxc5 is forced Rxe8#. If my answer is right, then pin my comment.
I've tried this plan before but I didn't quite understand it as well as I do now
I believed I had discovered the plan against the Pirc by my own, in my games! 😂😂😂
the move for the puzzle is queen to d8
I don't understand, at about 4'33'', why would black recapture the pawn with the h pawn (opening that dangerous open file for the rook) instead of recapturing with the f pawn (getting a semi-open file for his own rook) ? The f pawn isn't pinned anymore due to the Knight on c4... What am I missing ?
Bishop on B3 is on the diagonal that goes through F7 straight to G8 king. Yes the Knight is on C4 and blocks that whilst being defended. But you are hard pinning an active piece to your king. So effectively neutralising your queenside attack until you block the diagonal again.
@@gm2407 Oh, I understand, thanks for the detailed reply, I really appreciate it ! :)
But the stockfish says it would still be better to take with the other pawn
Puzzel: Silent move, Bh6 😉
The c in Pirc defense is pronouces as c in cis. It's not Perk defense.
What do you mean Larson was broke?
I think Bc5 is the best
Bg5 QxRe7?
“…time to resign.” has become my favourite quote in 2023 😄
Let's goooooo!
Oh Igor, the jokes write themselves.
Qd8 Rxd8 ,Rxd8 Re8 ,Bc5 Qxc5 ,Rxe8
Isnt this puzzle too easy?
Be6
B to 5g
Tried this but my opponent decide not to put bishop in front of the King and my plan crumble in a minute
A lot of these tactics don’t work on low ranked players because their play is erratic and unpredictable.
Lol Bent Larson was broken by Fischer! Now he's Gay 😂😂
