    WHAT HOW DID I MANAGE TO SOLVE LEVEL 10? I'm just 800 ELO, I am genuinely so blown away by myself this time. You guys probably don't believe me, I wish I could show proof that I managed to solve it but just, oh my god dude
    Amazing video btw
    I solved everything except for level 9 so far, but I haven ot yet seen the final puzzle, I jsut casme down here to comment a bit becasue of how schocked I am
    I just like
    I started calculating that wohle line, and I was "No way this is the actrual right answer", but I didn't see any flaws with it, so when he actually dpalyed it exactly how I imagined it it was so satisfying

    in problem 6 instead of rh8 immediately you can also premove bh7+ bg6+ rh8+ Qh5+ Qh7#

  • @sumansharma7583
    @sumansharma7583 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    In Level 8, I was thinking of rook B2 (Defelecting black rook)
    If takes then bishop E5 check forced move G8 then mate with knight.
    If rook to E4 then rook C4 (Defelecting again)
    To options take my rook then same mate thing, if he takes my bishop then we up with an piece
    I REALLY DIDNT SEE QUEEN D5, if that happens then there we loose a rook because we have to move my king to H1 and he can takes my rook after giving check with queen but it also depends upon when he plays like if he play queen D5 after my Rook B2 then its not a problem but if he plays queen D5 after C4 then its a problem and he will win a free rook

    In level 7, I thought of first knight G5 then bishop H7 check
    King has to move somewhere like H8 or G7 and then its a mate with bishop G8
    If king takes bishop then its a mate with queen
    NOW I GET IT WHY THAT WONT WORK

    Level 3 and 4 are lot easier than level 2 i found them without pausing the video jus in 3 to 4 seconds 21:24 finally didn't find anything after a while didn't getting in my head and after It I didn't found anything damm😢. 34:40 I thought pawns are at their starting square

    i made it to level 6 then got it wrong (makes sense im 1500 rn) although i saw the line he showed i thought it was wrong because i forgot the black queen would no longer be protecting h5 the line i found was knight g7 then slide the rook up if they take once he showed the line and it showed the black queen move i right away knew how to win lol (didnt see the second way he showed tho prob cuz i didnt think abt it after i saw the first way)i got level 7, missed level seven but i saw Be5 and if he doesnt take with rook Nh6 is mate so he either takes with rook or loses and if he takes you also have a fork between knight and queen on the way, didnt get level 9, def didnt have level 10, and 100% didnt have 11
