Wow! that was really a nice lesson! You taught some basic winning principle! Thank you, Igor, again for another great lesson. The puzzle seems easy than the other positions, because, to me, it requires less calculation. The solution is 1. Qxh8+ -- Kc7, 2. Qc8+ -- Kb6, 3. Qxb7#
I love this type of video where you give us puzzles and then ask us to think about the solution before you reveal it and why. I think it really helps. so thanks for posting

I've got Qxh8+. If black interposes his queen, then white has Qxd8 mate, so black will instead play Kc7. Next, Qf8+ forces the king to g6, the only move available. Qxg7 delivers the mate. This is also a lesson on looking at the whole board. I initially focused on moves towards the king, and I missed that the rook was hanging. I had considered Qxa7+ and f7+, but neither of those went anywhere. In each case, the checking piece is captured, and it is over. Qxd6+ made a little more sense, but after Qxd6+ exd6 (or Bxd6), the only forcing move left is f7+, which still fails.
0:17 Black only has two legal responses to Nf5+. If they play Kf7, then White plays Kg7#. If they play Bxf5, then White plays Qg7+. This forces Ke6, so White plays Qd7+. This forces Ke5, so White plays Qd6#.
You had an error in this video. Where black king was on h8 and you had black rooks on g8 and g7. If you play rook on g2 and take black rook on g7the black rook on G8 must take white rook on g7. After that if you move h1 rook to g1 you have mate in 3. Black can delay the mate in 1 by 2 moves by blocking with bishop g2 then queen g3 but after that queen to g7 is check mate.the black rook on g7 can’t take the white rook on g1 because it is pinned by check mate by the white queen on f7.
Can someone send me a link of video that has a link to blitz video made by grandmaster. Explaining how to win blitz games. I would be really grateful thanks
1. Sacrifice the queen by moving to g6. 2.Black has to eat with the rook. 3.White pawn takes rook which delivers check to black's king 4.King moves to the only square left which is h8 5.Rook takes pawn on h6 CHECKMATE! Just a beautiful checkmate by sacrificing your queen to win the game.
Great video GM Igor! Thank you for sharing the wisdom! 👍 Edit: I've beaten a stronger opponent that i wouldn't beat before watching this video, this is how good it is.
LOVE YOUR videos GM. Just started my chess classes and they are really helpful. All the way from KENYA and you're really rocking. The best chess teacher ❤❤❤. Kindly pin me 📌📌
That's a perfectly respectable rating for an amateur. I am currently "only" 1270 myself and I have played recreationally for over a decade and I am highly intelligent outside of chess and visual puzzles.

It is in dead the answer
Very informative video! Thank you for sharing!

Glad you enjoyed it
Example 1 check mate- Nxf5+, bxf5 forcing move, Qxg7+ ,Kc6 ,Qd7+ , Ke5, Qd6 check mate
@14:38 ah ok, now i know why rook takes rook check, then queen captures knight doesn't work because king still escapes!
This is one of your best videos. Fantastic content, thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video Igor. Thanks
00:07:56 ❤️❤️❤️ The "problem" with puzzles
Puzzle Soiution- 1. Qh8+ Kc7
2. Qc8+ Kb6

Nice video, good positions, went strait into my studies. Ty 😊
Excellent!
You are so good teaching one of the most complex game in the world I learn a lot from your videos I hope you will continue making this type of vids.
Thanks, will do!

Really nice video keep making video like this. I really like analysis in chess❤
❤
I've hit a chess plateau recently and hopefully this lets me push to 1300. Thanks for the video!
Thank you for putting your effort into making this video.
You had an error in this video. Where black king was on h8 and you had black rooks on g8 and g7. If you play rook on g2 and take black rook on g7the black rook on G8 must take white rook on g7. After that if you move h1 rook to g1 you have mate in 3. Black can delay the mate in 1 by 2 moves by blocking with bishop g2 then queen g3 but after that queen to g7 is check mate.the black rook on g7 can’t take the white rook on g1 because it is pinned by check mate by the white queen on f7.
Can someone send me a link of video that has a link to blitz video made by grandmaster. Explaining how to win blitz games. I would be really grateful thanks
Excellent video with doable advice
What is the best approach if he opponent is playing randomly and not doing the expected response for your opening .
same as the video mentions, you calculate forcing lines to check if you can punish them, if not follow basic opening pronciples of chess
Good lessons, thank you
Igor, when you say calculate three moves for a candidate move, do you mean three moves for each player or just him-me-him.
Queen takes on h8 check, king goes to c7, queen check to c8, king goes to b6, bishop takes to e3 check, king goes to a6, queen takes to b7 checkmate
Very informative video ❤❤❤
❤
Simply the best!!!
Wow fascinating!!
Pawn to C7 check, QxC7, QxH8 check, Bishop e8, QxE8 check, QC8, QxC8 and mate
what about KxC7 instead of QxC7?
Excellent!
QxH8#
If Qd8, then QxD8 mate
If Kc7, then Qc8#, Kb6, QxB7 mate
I've just used the 8th rule to finish a puzzle, thanks a lot
1)Qh8 Kf7 2)Qc8 Kb6 3)Qb7# is the answer of this puzzle
very helpful for me as a 1400 thank you for your deep support
Puzzle: Qxh8+ Kc7, Qc8+ Kb6, Qxb7#
Thank you oh wise and mighty one...
Thanks 🎉❤
❤
1. Sacrifice the queen by moving to g6.
2.Black has to eat with the rook.
3.White pawn takes rook which delivers check to black's king
4.King moves to the only square left which is h8
5.Rook takes pawn on h6 CHECKMATE!
Just a beautiful checkmate by sacrificing your queen to win the game.
queen takes h8+
if king to c7 then queen to c8+ king is forced to b6 then queen takes b7#
if queen to d8 then Qxd8#
I just want to ask in here 14:08 after this what if i play pawn g7 to g6 how can white checkmate black?
Qxh8+ Kc7 (only move) Qc8+ Kb6 (only move) Qxb7#
Kudos to Igor for following the Magnus rule "create something out of nothing"
Easier example of Checks, Captures, Attacks
(who wouldn't want to gain a tempo against the enemy queen?)
Woww so amazing video😊😊
The last puzzle looks like a simple mate in three. I wonder if I'm missing something.
igor sir, how to play against the trompowsky attack
thanks sir
Great video GM Igor! Thank you for sharing the wisdom! 👍
Edit: I've beaten a stronger opponent that i wouldn't beat before watching this video, this is how good it is.
same
Sorry typo it is pinned by the white queen on f6 not f7
beautifully explained method. I am 2100 Rated and I approve this techniques.
Where do you see the rabbit hole? Because I would be surprised if there would be a hole on the board
last puzzle was Qxh8
Hey igor I understand it. But what are you doing in close position. ❤❤
brilliant
Checks, captures, attacks
Is that ground beef you're holding in the thumbnail?
1. Qxh8+ Kc7 2. Qc8+ Kb6 3. Qxb7# wins the game for white.
the puzzles were so easy
Qxh8+,Kc7,Qc8+,Kb6,Qxb7#. Mate
3:10 I would simply play Bd7.
Thank you Igor! At last I am sometimes winning a game against my husband, who is a much better player than me!
Let's go!!!!!!
and he sacrificed the queen
So true...I can do 2000 level puzzles but I'm still only 1000 level
It's because of the habit and time pressure
Bro is even more underrated than my Grandma's pickles
QxH8, QC8, QxB7
Kids coaches will now add this one to their students.
nice
Igor missed a checkmate in 1 playing drunkenstein. explain that! haha
but not everyone is stockfish..?
That's not calculate like a GM, ir's solving easy puzzles like a GM. Red thumb.
My tunnel vision senses are tingling!
