I saw it! I saw it! I didn’t do it Nelson!
Sameee

The most amazing part of this puzzle is that it can actually happen in a real game and the idea of boxing out the king is super important.
Whats the problem white easily wins this!
At 6:03, I saw it. It felt like gaining opposition was more important
ya forgot the quotation marks bruh
I saw it as well
I also saw it because it looked to obvious
@@jayveeasis7953 why would you need quotation marks
saw it
Hello Nelson, I`m from Poland, and I really like watching your films, you use simple words so i can understand it and I`m learning English thanks to you, keep doing thanks!
I also watch one of Nelsons videos almost every day - I am not an English native speaker, I am German.
6:00 to be honest, I said "I won't take it" because I knew it would be a trick or something xD
Really cool endgame though, I love your videos :)
me too
We only say we won't take because we know this is a puzzle
@@anonymall exactly
To me both options would win the pawn eventually but since it's is a puzzle only one can be correct therefore It became obvious there is some trick
i said "dont take" b/c losing opposition is AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I bet the black pawn on e4 went “phew!” when the king finally stepped towards the other pawn
Damn, this channel is amazing. I looooooove these puzzles, they are way deeper than regular quick-shot puzzles and far more instructive. Keep it up!
Opposition is so important in the endgame and this is an example
"I saw it, I was it. I didnt do it, Nelson"
Fascinating!
Of the two videos I've watched, each puzzle seems to have a theme of teaching you a particular technique that isn't immediately obvious
The first was promoting to everything but a queen and this is teaching you how to opposite an opponent's king
Notice how opposition is the true power of the king and not to cowardly take the pawn when the opportunity presented itself 3 times
Wow great puzzle. Highly instructive ideas
i love ur puzzle videos man keep up the great work
6:13 I first tought take the pawn then i was like it can't be this easy it has to be opposition
your B pawn is protecting A3/C3 and the black pawn on B3 then means the black king has to get to D3 to sneak around, so you need to prevent the black king from being able to get to D3.
I'm moving my front pawn forward and letting it be captured
Nice puzzle!
It's amazing how rich such positions can be. I did not see that the black King has to be pushed away once the wK is on f5 and NEVER take the black Pe4. I think this technique is called "shouldering away" the King. I wondered in the first place about the pawns on b2/b3, why they are there...
White can also win by moving its king sideward to the left (g1, f1, e1) and then d2 to prevent the black king from taking e3. After black king moves away from e4, WK can proceed to d3 or c3 and there's nothing black can do.
“I saw it, I saw it, I didn't do it Nelson!”
Right at the start I saw the white king trying to move up diagonally would just get boxed in by their king doing the same thing. - What if you don't do that and you move you're king along the [1] rank and then up the left side of your pawns? You can get the white King to [D2] and then the black king of [E4] has no choice to retreat or to offer a pawn trade, which still leaves white ahead, I think. Since after the trade you can move the 2nd pawn back up to [E3] and then the Black king is in check and you still have opposition. Fairly sure this is also a winning endgame for white.
Looked it up in endgame database, the Black king will keep opposition on e5 the moment you go on e1.
I neither saw it, nor did it 😂
Another amazing video 👍👍
Mind stimulating.
Best Chess tutorial chanel 👏👏
The intricacies of the end game. Quite beautiful actually.
I never knew the power of opposition till now
I guessed KE5 because I had a feeling taking the pawn was a trick question
A year later… "I saw it, I saw it! I didn't do it Nelson!" 😂
I didn't say take the pawn, I was thinking "it wouldn't help to have more opposition". But I wouldn't have gone around to take the left pawn.
I saw it, thanks for the consistently great content, Nelson!
Excellent. Thanks.
I saw that part where 90% of people said to take the pond
Thanks, funny and instructive! I saw this a long time ago but it's always good to refresh your endgame knowledge (I had absolutely completely forgotten about it :P).
I think a bee line along to back row for position D2 also wins.
My first thought was to move the king left, left, left
In a real game I feel I would have taken on G4, but in the context of the puzzle my gut told me to keep opposition, so that was what I said.
Pretty sure there's more than one way to win this. When he goes K-g6 I'm going K-g3 and no matter how he responds, I am eventually reversing the opposition and getting my King to e1 while he's still on the 5th rank.
5:57, given the situation, why not go black king to C4 and start work on the other pawn that is the key.
To win in this position, hit the MERCY button for black's e pawn
First time I succeeded in aa puzzle. I didn't fall for king takes pawn because he was stressing opposition so much.
I'd have been curious to see how the game would have played out if the white king had moved along the bottom rank to get to D2.
Pawns are poisonous. 💀
I saw what happens when you take the pawn Nelson. If you do take the "free pawn with Kxe4" then black's king would put you in opposition. I didn't do it.
I saw it and didn't take the pawn in my mind. But without knowing it's a puzzle in a real game I would probably take it
That's why the king is 3.5!
You can remove the e3 pawn and it's still a win for White
Actually, I was thinking about rushing with the white king to D2 through the 1st line.
1.. at the time when black king takes white b3 pawn, white king has better go to d5 instead of f5 from e4.🎉
I didn't take the pawn, because that allows black king to re-establish opposition.
Pretty sure you can just go for a left black pawn and win it sucessfully defending
6:07 yes, i saw it. didnt want the black king coming back and the white king is closer to the other pawns
My noob brain wanted to take the pawn but the puzzle prepped me to know I should keep opposition so I have control of the magic squares.
I also saw the trick where you don't take the pawn.
2:54 Kf1
3:04 That's called a Trebuchet by the way.
I have to say Nelson, I am finally learning from you. Even after watching dozens of your videos, my improvement was minimal at best. In this puzzle, however, I got almost all of the moves. Watching Carlson's games is fun, but you make us think hard. thanks.
You neglected the case of the white player attempting to go under the pawns right from the start
I saw it I saw it I didn't do it Nelson
i say don't take the pawn because if you do black goes for the other group of pawns.
6:00 the reason i didnt say to take the pawn is that if it was the move you wouldnt have asked
i said king e5
I got it wrong from the very first position, I guess; I thought that instead of 1. Kg2, White plays 1. Kg1. Then after 1. ... Kg6 2. Kf2 Kf5 3. Kf3, doesn't White have the opposition? What am I missing here?
I think black would still be able to block our king until we sacrifice our lead pawn anyway.
I saw it, but only because I thought "well it's going to be not taking the pawn cause I always get these wrong and that's what I want to do"
BTW, at 6:46, if the black king goes to c1 instead of c2, the promotion will be with check and white will have a big trouble to defend the continuous checking from black queen
You mean after king takes b2 right? If that so it's still a draw because white also get the queen first. You're right about promotion with check but it doesn't matter that white will move queen to e4 to block the black's queen and offer a trade for the next move.
@@distrezz9919 yes, but forcing a queen trade is much safer than dancing around the queen
King and Pawn endgames are so crazy that you can have a move that is M in 20ish but the wrong move and you can be mated in 20ish
*FOR GOD SAKE, EAT THAT DAMN PAWN*
All white has to do is move the king down the a row and then up to d1 to protect the pawn. Black king moves then white goes after pawn on b2.
If by 'a row' you mean '1-row', then that is a draw. The moment white moves to d2 (not sure why you seem to call d2 and b3 'd1' and 'b2' respectively), black goes e4, and white can't save the pawn on e3. If white further goes for the b3 pawn, black also takes the pawn on e2, and forces white to either guard against promotion, or lose the pawn race.
@@thetaomegatheta Sorry; it's hard for me to type on my iPad and I didn't realize the mistake. Yeah I didn't go further than that, but it's interesting to compare.
I saw it, I saw it I didn’t do it Nelson
Muy instructivo y muy bien explicado.
Like al vídeo.
😀👍🇲🇽
Yes i saw it, you lose oposition after taking the pawn. Then black King to C4 and the White King has to go f3 and then black King is going to take the other pawn and make a Queen at time
@6:03 I saw it. We need to stay in opposition one more time, so taking the pawn there is wrong.
Okay, I got the answer right, and then wrong on the next move because my reasoning was wrong. bummer. lol
The only reason I saw it is that the way you asked it made me think it would be a trick question, lol
The first part was pretty intuitive for me, but I missed Ke5.
I didn't do it because I thought it was too obvious but in a real game I probably would have💀
I got it wrong - I went e4 dxe4; e3 , thinking that ...Kg6; Kg2 then whereever he goes on 5th rank I can take the opposition. Bonus points if you can spot the flaw in that plan!
I saw it, I saw it. I didn't do it Nelson
@chessvibes1. bruhhh what a cheap scam
I didn’t even realise that I could take that pawn😑😭🗿
My first solution was Kh1-g1-f1-e1-d2 targeting the c3 pawn directly. You would lose the e3 and e2 pawn but you will be able to escort the b2 pawn.
Was thinking that as well. But Black is fast enough getting his queen. 1. Kg2 Kg6 2. Kf1 Kf5 3. Ke1 Ke5 (!) 4. Kd2 Ke4 5. Kc3 Kxe3 6. Kxb3 Kxe2 7. Kc3 Ke3 8. Kc2 and it's a draw.
What about walking the king h1-g1-f1-e1-d2, black king will be on e4 forced to go back or play d4, exd4-kxd4, e3 and you kan take the pawn on b3 while black has to take care of the e3?
Time for my Persona!
Can you explore white king g1, king f1, king d1, and king d2, I think black can't do anything
For a split second I thought about taking the pawn but then I realised that I'd be losing the opposition that you were just talking about
I also saw it and went with opposition
6:03 I chose King e5 instead of taking the pawn cuz mostly i think the obvious choice is wrong
Hey Nelson, do you have a video covering 'metagaming' principles such as wanting to complicate the position when you're losing, attacking to run down the clock on your opponent, or playing tricky openings against lower level players who might not know them?
i dont even play chess and knew it was king to e5 and not take the pawn cuz chess is just about patterns and this pattern is keep the oppositional position and dont get baited.
6:13 I FOUND IT I FOUND IT AHHHH
6:07 I actually saw it.
What if the white king goes along the 1 row towards the peon on the left? It is able to protect its peons, black cannot mirror due to peon e3 and white can get in b3 first.
White king goes h, g, f, e then d2. Black king will be at e4 at this point. It cannot take e3, nor move to d4 (peon check). What happens then?
i didnt say take the pawn, and the only reason i didnt was because 95% of the time its a trick question and the solution is never taking the most obvious piece lmao
why not race for b3 pawn inmediatelly from start of the puzzle (h1)? leave E234 pawn unguarded and race on 2 line to C3 with white king...
I did not even notice that the pawn can be taken, and found the correct move 😂
The only reason I saw it is that the way you asked it made me think it would be a trick question, lol. I would have definitely blundered it in a real game, I would not have taken the time to calculate it
Try white G1,F1, E1, D2
I saw it, I didn’t do it Nelson
My first thought
Can you scoot your king under your two pawns?
I saw it Nelson
I find my pawn end game to be really weak so am enjoying your videos and hoping they help
Me improve my end game play.
Something I’m confused on - why would black not play king C4 when you play king E5?
Because that allows white to go E4, while previously black had Kc4 as a threat to respond to white Kxe4 with.
I went with K to E5... For some crazy reason I didn't even worry about taking because it had no real power to move, I was more worried about pushing that king away...
I saw it but wasnt100% sure
Very very tricky puzzle !
