Once you understand that promoting the pawn is the only way to stop checkmate, the puzzle kind of solves itself
It's unbelieveable for me how fast I calculated this puzzle completly, because I usually don't see anything after about 2 moves. Thank you for the really interesting position, & I'm happy to be able to solve this one
Gotta learn to consider rook sacrifices as a puzzle solution from Gotham.
I'm happy Nelson uploads new chess puzzles to solve!!
check puzzles is the main reason for me to come to this channel. No one exlains them as nicely and structured as Nelson!
I saw the rook sacrifice move in one minute and the final game in under 10 minutes. I'm 66 years old, have never read any chess books, never studiet chess, untill I found your chess puzzles and saw some of your tutotorials about defending against some types of openings 2 months ago. I'll note, I've only been playing chess for aprox. 200 hours, starting more than 30 years ago. I'm not telling this to bragg - and I know it doesn't mean I'm escpially good at playing chess - but just to tell you what a profound influence your tutorials have had on my way of thinking chess. Thank you.
Yeah but....
That rook sacrifice was quite hard to spot from a far. But it's absolutely amazing
HE SACRIFICE THE ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOK!!!
I spotted it immediately because it's a puzzle but I don't think I'd play it in a real game unless I had a lot of time to think about it. Definitely not in blitz or lower.
so how many others subconsciously heard levy scream "THE ROOOOOOK!!!!" during this vid
I solved it, but I completely missed calculating the line where white plays Rxb6+.
Great puzzle. Love these!
I saw the rook sacrifice immediately when that position came up.
In 1885 there were no chess programs that could have checked the functionality of the chess puzzle and the portion of the errors, so how did the chess puzzle makers make sure there were no mistakes in the chess puzzle?
Perhaps they checked it as well as they could by hand and a small percentage of puzzles back then had mistakes
The difficult part is seeing that 2.Rxb6+ fails due to leaving it's control of the 8th rank, and correspondingly the black king's gain of control over the eighth rank via its occupation of the 7th.
You are amazing Nelson ❤
Truly fascinating
That pretty fun as you mentioned.
This was the fastest I've solved a puzzle. The obvious part was that white needed to keep the Black King in check until g8 was cleared for pawn promotion. I quickly looked at White Rb6 check but saw the option that black could decline the sacrifice, ruining any chance of avoiding checkmate. The forced rook sacrifice at a5 was then the obvious move, exposing the king to check by the g8 rook.
That was so amazing
an amazing puzzle
Hold on chess vibes you totally forgot about en passent during the pawn checks
Solved easily
1:52 but what about the king going to a7 or c7 ?
Then rook from g8 gives a check and pawn promotes
@@yakishbek If black goes a7 then white has to move the b8 rook to a8 and then check the king with the g8 rook to b8.
Why can't the Black King just move to a7 or c7? Would that result that in a checkmate for White, or does it not help White's case? Those are the only moves not explained in the video.
It wouldn't work because either way the Black King is exposed for a follow-up check allowing white to clear out the g8 square for pawn promotion. If Black Kc7, then White from g8 to Rc8 check. No matter where black moves his king white gets a queen. If Black Ka7, then White Ra8 check forcing Black Kb7, followed by White from g8 to Rb8 check. Again no matter how black moves his king to escape check, white gets a queen.
Black was doomed from the start but the best chance was Ka6 to get his king protected and forcing a rook sacrifice and hope for a blunder.
Love it 🎉❤
I thought sacrificing da rook is the way
Where do you find these puzzles
He finds them on the net and in old chess books etc.
At long last, I have gotten most of the answers right on a puzzle. I have ascended to GENIUS LEVEL!!!...Nah I'm still trash 🤣
got the puzzle except the ra8/rxb6 situation.
I think the answer is yes,quite easily in fact.
What about en passent on c4 ?
This puzzle is older than me
These puzzles are getting older & older...

Easy win for white. Literally solved this while looking at the thumbnail on UA-cam.
Nice, what's the rating of this puzzle? I calculated the line pretty quickly at 1400
although it's at first glance really astonishing that White can win this position, the solution is not so hard to find since White has no other options than to keep black in check which dramatically limits the choice of available moves. So I'd say it's a startling but relatively easy puzzle.
I solved it without seeing the wrong moves that seemed to be also answers
Its an easy win if you are R J Macready.
That was super duper easy. WTF...
When is the classical "speed" run.
Nelson play nelson but you cannot lose anypiece [pawns don't count]
3:25 couldn't black just do a draw by repetition there?
No because after King to b7, white can play Rgb8+ followed by g8=Q and white wins.
What about Kb7 instead of Kb5?
After Kb7 we play Rgb8+, forcing the king on the c file and then we make a queen
The 19th century puzzles seem to be pretty esier than nowadays puzzles. Actually,. I expected all the white moves correctly.
Easy puzzle
Nice
Royy
The way to solve this puzzle is
moving the rook out for the pawn to promote while not letting your opponent moving their queen
I understand this so rook sacrifice is quite easy to spot
Yea I'm 600 rated and I got the first check but not the second, lol 🤷
Oh and I got the third check
5:55 THERES NOTHING WE CAN DO
Am i the only one who think this isn’t a fascinating puzzle? 😴
Haven't watched..... Just came to say I'm 1400 and this is piss easy.
2ND!
