      Spoiler alert! Puzzle answer
      For the puzzle, I see Bxf7+. Black's only response is Kxf7, after which white plays Rf1+. Beside the useless imposition of the queen at f2, black's only move is Kg8. Next, white plays Rf8+. Again, black has only one move, Rxf8, then Qg7 is mate.

  • @yogyasuri9348
    @yogyasuri9348 Місяць тому +29

    Puzzle answer is bishop takes f7 pawn then it's forced for king to capture as no square left then rook checks at f1(no castle as black queen covers g1) only square for king is g8 (another move can be black queen f2 but that will be a straight forward blunder ) after that rook f8 then final blow for checkmate queen to g7

    Hi, Igor I just got back into chess and your videos really helped me understand chess better and if I may answer the puzzle it's
    1.Bf7+ Kxf7
    2.Rf1+ Kg8
    3.Rf8+ Rxf8
    4.Qg7#
    I'm sorry if I wrote it wrong, I'm not good with notation

      It's a pleasure to see your notation amongst many verbal descriptions of the answer.
      The only inconsistency I can see is your first two moves should have been 1. Bxf7+ , Kxf7
      But your notation was clear and easy to read.

    One of the corollaries of rule 1 is something you’ve talked about in other videos:

    Even if you have to sacrifice something, it can usually be worth it.

  • @user-ej7sr3ow8b
    @user-ej7sr3ow8b Місяць тому +7

    I guess the idea of the puzzle is Bxf7+, notice that all other moves of black king are controlled by white's dark square bishop and black is forced to play Kxf7, but then white can play Rf1+ and black king must go back to g8 or to sacrifice the queen to delay one move. Then white can play Rf8+, since the rook is defended by the bishop, black king has no legal move and must take white rook with the rook, but then Qg7 is a checkmate

    • @vovan8695
      @vovan8695 Місяць тому +1

      Pretty cool. The black thought he stopped the obvious queen g7 checkmate threat when he pinned the queen. Little did he know.
      He still won though, cause white prematurely resigned.

    Example 2 is super interesting. There's a line for Black that goes 1. e4 e5 2. f4 c5, which is the Mafia Defense against the King's Gambit. However, this move can also come out of a Sicilian-1. e4 c5 2. f4 e5-basically transposing from a Sicilian to a King's Gambit. I've had many players be caught completely off guard, not thinking about it as a Sicilian turned into a King's Gambit-and because of that they would take and blunder Qh4. It's a neat little trap.

  • @e.e.-tv1683
    @e.e.-tv1683 Місяць тому +1

    For the example, in tip-1, would it had been better for black to attack the knight on D5 with the dark square bishop? I know the bishop would have been captured by the pawn on D4.

    Biggest blunders I can re-call making was first tournament after getting back into chess. I used the be 1200-1300 as a kid.
    I blundered back rank mate in one game, and blundered my queen in another. My opponent checked me, and I was so rusty I missed I could block with my Knight and blocked with my queen instead as thought that was the only move. Couldn't move the king and because it was trapped and couldn't capture the piece checking me.
    I'm around the 1500-1600 rating in Rapid now

    Bxf7+ Kxf7; 0-0+ Kg8; Qg7++ (all movements are forced).
    My most common mistake is not to see my opponent's best response, sometimes I even notice that my opponent has more than one response to a check (for example) and I take for granted that the line I analyzed is forced (like the one in today's exercise) when in fact it is not...

  • @D_M4N8
    @D_M4N8 Місяць тому

    Tip 1
    Do not open the position if your king is unsafe and underdeveloped
    Tip 2
    If your opponent has taken over your side of the board, look for your opponent's plan/play to avoid blundering
    Tip 3
    When there's an attack on the king, look for tactical blows
    Tip 4
    Avoid hanging pieces

    What wasn't answered in the puzzle solutions that I've seen in the comments, was Igor said how did white and black blunder. Now we know how white blundered, but how did Black blunder? The correct continuation is not the kingside rook to e8, it's The queenside rook to e8 and black achieves a winning position!!

  • @eclecticexplorer7828
    @eclecticexplorer7828 Місяць тому

    I am not surprised that Carlsen is human and can make blunders on occasions. It is shocking to see it on such a simple position with only 5 pieces total on the board, and on a checkmate that everyone learns as a beginner. It does make me feel marginally better about my own, but I am still working hard to do a better job avoiding them.
    In the Korchnoi-Karpov situation, I missed the mating pattern, but I did spot a way to win the rook. Black first plays Nb3. White can't play to c1, d1, or e1 without immediate capture, so his options are Rb1 or Rf1. After either one, black plays Ned2, and the rook is lost. It's a winning move, but not the immediately winning move. "If you find a good move, look for a better one." (E. Lasker)
    In the following situation, I will pat myself on the back for seeing Qxg7+. I also saw Qe1+ in the following, but that was much easier to spot.
    As for the worst blunder I ever saw, I have to own up to my own from just two days ago. I had a completely winning position. I will even post the position here below. I was playing white. Stockfish had me up +34.9, and checkmate was clearly coming in the next few moves ... except that I made a blunder that resulted in my getting checkmated instead. I played Ra7 to keep the king pinned on the back rank, after which I was planning to bring the queen to the 7th rank to set up the mate. Unfortunately, I was completely overlooking that he could then play Qe1 mate. I did have a legitimate mating sequence, but it would take up to 14 moves to achieve (and didn't begin with the move recommended by Stockfish, BTW).
    Even when your position is great, watch out for your opponent's opportunities. (Well, if Magnus can screw up like that, I guess I can too.)

    After Bxf7+ and O-O the white is winner. In the case of black in the position with the R on f8 - the game for black is lost - I don´t see any move saving his game. Sorry - incorectly, instead of O-O, what is imposible - see the answer on the answer no my commentary - Rf1 is the solution.
