- We are only one step away from promoting but black will try hard to get stalemated. The road to victory for white is long and difficult to find. Give it a try!

If you could figure all that out, as white, in a real game you would be good enough to beat Magnus Carlson.
not necessarily, in real game you may solve it taking one step at a time
The finale with black's ... Rb8!!, as final resource, and white's answer to it are absolutely gorgeous! 👍
Brilliant tactical combinaitons... just amazing. Its amazing that we actually can learn to think the right way from these tactics. Only an experienced chess player can understand that. Thank you very much and God bless you.
Good one. I consider it a minor victory if I can at least find the 1st move, which I did in this case. But you got me with the rest, thanks very much for today's puzzle. 😅
Lots of nice variations!
You're right, that _was_ hard! I saw a few of the 'sacrifice' moves along the way, though.
Nice puzzle, bold analysis.
why not bishop E3?
You haven't covered at 5:14, what happens if black plays Re4.
It seems, that a8R, Rxf4 Kg3 Rf1 Ra6 and white will win the f6 pawn and will win the rook endgame with a pawn up. Or Rg1+ Kh3 Rg6 Ra1+ Rg1 Rxg1 Kxg1 and white still will win the f6 pawn and will win the pawn endgame.
if Re4 then push the pawn and you must under promote to a rook and the game can be won by white.
...but after Rd8 Ke2 also wins
7:49 How about playing Rook g8 with the idea of checking on g2 instead? Will this lead to a draw? I mean the rook can jump forth and back between c8 / g8.
I didn't solve this one, even though the first challenge was figuring out why it wasn't an easy win for white. I managed to figure that part out. Lol.
How does the king being on f2 at 7:17 in video stop the stalemate trick we had earlier in video at 3:05 where white king was on F1 instead? Can anyone tell me why it is different please?
Too many tricks for me. I.e. I only got stalemate :-)
What to do if after bishop C7 rook goes to G8?
King f3 will eliminate all possible threats from g-vertical.
Nnice
7:17 What if Black play Re4? Isn't it the same as the position, you have shown at the begining (3:11), where Black draw?
Yeah certainly should have been covered, but I think the difference is with the King on f2 instead of f1, white can respond to Rf4+ with Kg3 and then Black can’t take the pawn because Ra1+ leads to mate.
@@yassarjordan8224 Ok, I see. But should White play after Kg3 Rf1?
If Re4 then push the pawn and under promote to a rook. The game can then be won by white.
@@michaelwinn5274 How?
@@user-fm3no5gm9t Then White has Rh8+ and Bb6+ to win the rook. The full line starting from 7:17 would be (black to move) ...Re4, a8=R Rf4+, Kg3 Rf1, Rh8+ Kg1, Bb6+ Rf2, Bxf2+
when the B is on f4, instead of Rd8, why not Re4 ?
My calculation after Re4: a8R, Rxf4+ Kg3 Rf1 Ra6 and white will win the f6 pawn and will win the rook endgame with a pawn up. Or Rg1+ Kh3 Rg6 Ra1+ Rg1 Rxg1 Kxg1 and white still will win the f6 pawn and will win the pawn endgame.
@@lajos-berenyiI'm a total novice, so this might not work, but I was thinking Kf3, attacking the rook and defending the bishop, would be the right response. If the rook goes a4, then the bishop goes to b8. Meanwhile, the white king is in a better position to threaten the black pawn, and if the rook ever leaves the a file, white gets a queen.
Beautiful if you're a masochist, lol.
But what if after 2.Kf2 Re4
oh...probably I missed that it was an easy win!
That's one ugly puzzle, sheesh!
A very nice puzzle but you dragged out the solution far too much. Your presentation was very slow and you spent too much time on obvious moves. This video should have only been a few minutes long, not 10 minutes.
I disagree, he caters to all level players, makes it fair and explainable.
He gets more ad money if it goes over 8 min something. Only reason they do this.
@@jaybee4288 That explains why so many UA-cam videos take forever to get to the point or ramble on endlessly about irrelevancies.
