    It’s funny, when you watch someone every day, their face becomes a familiar and friendly comfort in a similar way to RL friends. But it’s also similarly horrible watching them suffer. There’s so much love for you through this channel man, and you’ve earned every bit of it. Thoughts with you to get well soon.

    Glad to hear you are doing better, I did have a question, I still don't really understand why you can't play f4. I know you're trying to put black in Zugzwang but then why can't you follow up with f5 after that which would also attack the queen?
    Edit: looking at it more I realized why you can't play f5 because after queen to h5, moving knight to e6 won't win the queen since the pawn is in the way. Left the post up in case someone else didn't see it and I still wanted to say that I'm glad youre doing better Nelson and I hope you have a speedy recovery

    • @chris_j_s

  • @sofiana580
    @sofiana580 Рік тому

    King c7 was difficult to find but still ok, but h4
    Zugzwang puzzles are in my opinion one of the hardest because even very difficult tactics make you just understand the synergy between a few pieces. These position needs you to have full understanding of what’s going on while deep in the calculation. Like you really have to understand the synergy of all the pieces on the board equally. the timing, the possible responses, traps and tricks etc
    and that’s just very very difficult

    At the end, you mentioned you should not push the pawn 2 squares because there's nothing else to do. But what if you push that pawn another square? Seems like a good move to me.

    • @megauser8512
      @megauser8512 Рік тому +1

      Because queen to h5 makes the queen safe, even if you move the knight to check the king, since the pawn on f5 is in the way of the would-be rook attack.

    • @LPChip

  • @Cerber1994
    @Cerber1994 Рік тому

    Happy to hear you getting better!
    I'm curious though, will it really be that obviously winning if we trade our rook for the queen? For example, taking one of the lines you've described - 1. Ne6+ Ke7 2. Ng5+ Kd6, and on Nxh7 we get Kxe5 (and if the rook escapes, it seems that queen escapes too). Will this be still an easy win, or we'll get another tricky pawn endgame?

    So the best move for black is Ke7 then? Would an engine play that?
    You'll lose your queen to Ng5+ discovered check, but after Kf6 you'll at least get a rook for it.
    With a knight extra white probably wins, but still has to work for it, maybe if low on time not a guaranteed win...
