  • This puzzle is really brilliant! It´s white´s turn and we have checkmate in 3 moves but the solution is very far from obvious. Can you solve it?
    This puzzle was composed by Eduard Petsch-Manskopf in 1899.

    Wow ... this is the most insane puzzle I've seen in a long while. When you said promote to a knight I paused the video again, proceeded to become exasperated, unpaused, and realized I was right to be exasperated. How crazy. How cool. Great video!

    That is wild! Beautiful solution that was completely unexpected. I thought the g-pawn was there only to block the bishop: how wrong I was!!

    whenever whites pawn is on the 7th rank the move is always promote to a knight when it comes to these puzzles.

      @dagg310 3 місяці тому

      nope...i've seen some where u promote to a bishop or a rook...because promoting to a queen would cause a stalemate

    I actually solved this in seconds just by looking at the thumbnail, which is weird since I've been unable to solve other puzzles that most people would consider easier than this one.

    The knight quietly shuts the door behind him, then re-opens it, releasing a raging force.

    I briefly considered promoting to a knight but didn’t think it could get within range in 2 moves . . that one was pretty tricky

    Promote pawn to queen (covers pawn at b3), black moves pawn forward, king to b1, then knight to C2 - would be mate in 3 but it's not the answer because black doesn't get a second move.

      If white king moves to B1, then it is no longer protecting the pawn on B3. What I'd like to know is why didn't he discuss the black king moving to A2 on black's second move.

      @@tonyleukering8832 Because white's knight was covering it. Black's only legal second move was: king takes knight.
