I think probably the young girl instinctively thought this looked like a win for white because of how many pieces white has and the other players (who had seen more of these whacky puzzle positions) instinctively thought black would win or it would be a draw due to the nature of these puzzles and how often one side can do really well when the king has limited squares. Still Bravo to her bet she was chuffed at that.
I expected black to win, given the nature of most puzzles. It's often the underdog that can come back because of the unusual positions and piece placement. When I was trying to solve it though, I couldn't find anything except the perpetual check draw and the stalemate.
Very sneaky of Nelson to show the Stockfish analysis while it is only at depth 18. I'd imagine by the time the chess engine gets to depth 20 it notices Qd3 and shows a high plus score or even a forced mate for White. So the other moral of the story is, don't trust chess engines when you haven't given them adequate time to analyze the position.
My gut instinct: White can easily draw by simply shuffling the rook back and forth for perpetual check, therefore this is not a win for black. Meta reasoning says that since this is a puzzle, it's unlikely to be a draw either, otherwise it wouldn't be much of a puzzle. Therefore it's likely a win for white through shenanigans, probably with some kind of fork block at some point.
And I was super confused when the drawing position was drawn out so much. If you wanted to show a draw, just show the immediate perpetual. Why would white go the length to bait the queen around if they don't see where that would lead to? -> Because this a puzzle and it does lead to something other then a draw given a different move at the end of baiting the queen around.
There's actually another way for it to end! It's still a draw, but not by perpetual checks. 3:42 If White Bd4, black Qa5+, White Rc5, Black QxR+, White must capture, but whether he does with the King or Bishop it's actually a stalemate. The white Queen covers E1, E2, and G2 while the white Bishop covers F2 and G1.
@@pascal9814 Queen captures Rook on c5. It forces white to capture the black queen, but whether he uses the king or the bishop, it ends in stalemate as the black king has no legal moves.
Because it's not a draw. Computers always to play the line with most options (even to the point of sometimes 'pointlessly' repeat a position once) if it's otherwise not detrimental to its position. Here, that's up to the winning configuration, but because its depth wasn't high enough it didn't spot the win. If you otherwise mean computer unrelated... well, again, it's not a draw 😁
I thought it was a draw because black has perpetual checks and white's pieces could shuffle back and forth but I only saw the queen sac when the position before it was shown again
I noticed almost instantly this would impossibly be a win for Black due to Qa2+ Rc4 Qd2+ Rd4 etc. If it's 'weird', it must be a win for White (as otherwise puzzles like these are drawn) but I failed to think outside the box. Which, is quite literal here 😁. I'll save this one, thanks!
The little story plus stock fish with inadequate depth for the puzzle gave a lot to the puzzle - very well done. This kind of framing gives a chess puzzle - something very logical, abstract, definitive and solitaire - am open ended and social element.
I was thinking about that queen sacrifice as it was the only unconventional option to simultaneously block the check as well as breaking the chain, all other pieces had one and only one way of blocking..although I didn't understand the importance of the sacrifice at first, so I thought it's suicidal, hence didn't gave much thought...but I was wrong..and right too. Another lesson for me, thanks :)
My immediate thought when it got to the last move on the draw is that the queen could make a more offensive play, though when you’ve been moving in a box it’s common to just assume that’s the only place you can move by instinct. I think being bad at chess makes this easier to solve 😂😂
@@k3ose45 Sure, but if you're looking at this and you think it's the type of puzzle where black is expected to win because white is boxed in, then being able to salvage a draw is better than losing.
Hey, I actually got one of these right. It's not that complicated really, the queen's ability to keep checking depends on her distance from the king and other pieces, by offering the queen sac you simultaneously pull her closer and give your king an escape route, or if the sacrifice is not accepted you just give your king an escape route and make your queen active.
The black queen can't escape, because the queen and king are forked. If black doesn't want to accept the sacrifice either the king must move away and the queen gets captured OR the queen must block the check and still gets captured. In all three scenarios the white king can escape and white wins, but only in the scenario from the video the black queen stays on the board.
fun fact for me before subscribing to Nelson's Chess vibes, I actually subscribe to Chess talk so basically TH-cam thought that Chess talk "promoted" algorithm to Chess vibes in my home page nice video as always
anyway, because of this cute funny plot twist, I finally decided to join membership at this channel. hopefully Nelson could play chess & collab with Chess talk channel someday
Coincidence. I watched my first Chess Talk video yesterday. By the way, there is also an easy draw for White line -- just move the rook back and forth.
Haven't watched the Video but I have seen this position in some sort of book before and I know that White wins by giving away the Queen in the end just to stop the repetitions. It's actually really funny. A very easy concept that everyone should be able to come up with and yet we don't.
For me the moral of the story is that the longer you are in a field the more disillusioned and pessimistic you become. Give the girl a few more weeks and all the puzzles will make her think it's either a draw or loss too
I still remember thinking at first that Black had a sneaky win up his sleeve until I realized that White could respond to Qg5+ by blocking it with his queen (Qe5). After I realized that, I figured at first that it would be a draw by perpetual check- until I realized that, just as Nelson pointed out, after several more checks, White can block Qd2+ with Qd3+, thereby sacrificing his queen in exchange for the positional advantage of being able to block the resulting check via Bd4 without the danger of keeping his king trapped in the box and forced to be put in perpetual check. TL;DR- I first thought Black would win but then saw Qe5 as a way out of being checkmated. Then I thought it would be a draw by perpetual check until I saw the counter check of Qd3+ as a way out of perpetual check.
As soon as you paused, the queen move stuck out as an obvious oversight on blacks part, the characters in this story overlooked the ending of the line.
Literally what I expected, but I should've assumed the old man told everyone it was black to move at the chess club and tried to think harder to solve it. But honestly wouldn't have found the solution either way, pretty nice puzzle
I like how for all the sophisticated logic used to demonstrate a draw no one bothered with the trivial draw by repetition of moving the rook back and forth.
I was at first like "wut how would this even be a win for black this is a dead draw but even more a win for white." Then you proceeded to explain my thoughts lol. Tho yes queen sac is something I do often so that is the only reason I knew this. *Also looks at the amount of times someone messed with me by putting the king on h2 with pawns surrounding it as it is horrendously strong defense, same with opposite corner*
That part is omitted. The player wearing a suit at 1:34 is describing how the game ends in a draw. Move R4d4 only further proves his point. Thus, he doesn't even have to mention it. If black's motivation is to draw, which it is in his case, black will welcome a such move.
Here's how I solved it (rather logically): I realized quickly that shuffling the rooks would give white at least a draw. So I considered why white wasn't clearly winning, and deduced that the king having no other escape squares kind of forced white pieces to constantly defend the checks in the 3x3 grid. If any piece made it outside the grid then the king will have an escape square and things could change. I then hypothesized that a queen, being the most versatile, had the best chance of blocking the check outside of the 3x3 grid. I searched for this and found the solution Qd3.
Beautiful reasoning! The best thing about puzzles is that they can be constructed to show a specific tactic or idea. That's why I try the daily puzzle if I can, because it helps me miss less in actual play.
My answer at 2:54. White wins if it can get to ...Qa2+; Qc3+ to force the queen exchange. But that means white needs to swap queen and the rook that's initially at d4, but I don't believe there's a point for white to do that, as the pawn at e4 can't leave its place without denying e5 to the Queen as the queen needs the rook in a corner to go diagonally but neither bishop not pawn can't get off its path and once c6 is done to block a check, which I don't see how to avoid without getting into a perpetual, I can't see how to make the queen change to go clockwise and even then I don't think it's possible as then it's the pawn at e6 blocking the corner for the other rook to get the queen to swap side with by a diagonal block. Edit: Dang, I saw the ...Qd3 possibility but didn't follow that in the moment I thought of it and then I got too fixated on blocking with a check with the queen as to go back consider that one.
Congrats to the young girl for the answer! If she continues to practice and analyse positions, she might well become the best imaginary chess player that ever was!
I mean, you can tell straight from the start that it's not a win for black. The rook can just go back and forth between C4 and D4, always getting in the way of the queen's checks one way or the other.

Casual chess player here, I went through all possibilities in my head and realized that sacrificing the queen using its omnidirectional movement would allow two spaces to be opened up, and thus an escape route. I voted for white's win.
I was dead ass looking for a way to get my queen to c4 for a check. But couldn’t figure out how to make one always getting checked. The second side pawn push is what I didn’t see thought it would lead to mate lol
I don't know what engine the boy uses but Stockfish litteraly depth 1 says +10.81 for white - depth 36 he sees a mate in 27 - depth 45 he sees a mate in 24 (which is the fastest mate)
Usually the solution with hard chess puzzles is to sacrifice the queen. I mean, getting rid of one of white's pieces so the king has more room to move sounds very intuitive, doesn't it?
Surprisingly I actually recognised that the solution would have to involve a diagonal block with the queen. I just didn't have the time to play it all put and realize it was a queen sacrifice.

I was kind of hoping for the first move to be a king move. That would be another cool plot twist.
Casual chess player here, I went through all possibilities in my head and realized that sacrificing the queen using its omnidirectional movement would allow two spaces to be opened up, and thus an escape route. I voted for white's win.
I was dead ass looking for a way to get my queen to c4 for a check. But couldn’t figure out how to make one always getting checked. The second side pawn push is what I didn’t see thought it would lead to mate lol
“Here is a made up story that makes this novice right for literally no reason other than plot device”
I don't know what engine the boy uses but Stockfish litteraly depth 1 says +10.81 for white
- depth 36 he sees a mate in 27
- depth 45 he sees a mate in 24 (which is the fastest mate)
Its either depending on who you're playing against.

moral of the story: use higher depth stockfish
Problem with that assumes that you would take the queen and not see that coming.
perfect example of the einstelung effect
Sometimes in life you have to let go of something to gain something.
The girl: 0% skill, 100% luck (joke)
I think that the boy and the girl should not be in a club
Usually the solution with hard chess puzzles is to sacrifice the queen.
I mean, getting rid of one of white's pieces so the king has more room to move sounds very intuitive, doesn't it?
Surprisingly I actually recognised that the solution would have to involve a diagonal block with the queen. I just didn't have the time to play it all put and realize it was a queen sacrifice.
Really shows you need to be open to new possibilities.
Man my classmates would lose the pawns instantly then get stalemated

Draw, if one keeps moving the bishop back and forth to block the queen.
i was just screaming to my screen that both can win and fail
