      This is one of the first videos i see of him, and I was soooo relaxed after watching
      Then got to the other he does not quite match the whisper in those, as he does in this one
      I was a little disappointed actually
      Keep it up man! Love your vids anyways ❤

    Without substituting the bishop for a knight you can still force mate in 4:
    1. Rh8+ Kxh8 2. Bg2+ Kg8 3. Bd5+ Kf8 4. Rh8#

      @mythbusters866
      If Bf1 why would black play Rh2 when they can just win with Ra2? (or Ra8, R2b4, R8b4)
      Or do you mean if white plays Bf1 instead of Bg2+?
      In that case, yes, it's mate in 5:
      1. Rh8+ Kxh8 2. Bf1+ Rh2 3. Rxh2+ Kg8 4. Bxc4+ Kf8 5. Rh8#
      FEN, for anyone who wants a shortcut to set up the board: 1r4k1/8/5PP1/8/K1n3NR/7B/1r6/7R w

      And of course, as mentioned in the video,
      1. Nh6+ Kf8 2. g7+ Ke8 3. g8=Q#
      doesn't work because pawn promotion wasn't invented yet?
      The answer that would have been possible at the time:
      1. Rh8+ Kxh8 2. Bf5+ Kg8 3. Rh8+ Kh8 3. g7+ Kg8 4. Nh6#
      Or
      1... Rh2 3. Rxh2+ Kg8 4. Be6+ Kf8 5. Rh8#
      Also, if Kg8 then it's mate in 2:
      2... Kg8 3. Be6 Kf8 4. Rh8

    Just wanted to echo other comments and say I reallllly love the all-whispered videos. Keeps the volume the same level throughout as we doze off. Not that your typical mixed whisper/spoken style is bad or anything! I just like that I can tell the overstimulated/obsessive part of my brain that yes, the volume isn't changing so you can relax enough to let me fall asleep lol. I also like the new overhead shots you're incorporating into the shotlist. Maybe strap a Go-Pro to a knight for a POV knight jump???? haha

    dude i solved the puzzle in a very short time without sacrificing anything, you check with the Knight, if king goes left you move Knight again discovered check and then move the rook on the square that is protected by the Knight, if king goes right, still check with Knight then with pawn and then promote pawn its mate!
