    On your first example from bullet, I like how it would still be mate even without the dark square bishop. It's just mate in 2. f8=N Kh8 Rh7#

      same. Also underpromotion doesnt even seem to be a rule to me, promoting to whatever piece you want is the rule.

    I have even heard a worse version of what he tells about upside down rook. At a blitz tournament a player didn't correct it immediately to rook but waited till it moved diagonally and then claimed for illegal move.

      Nakamuras opponent was playing the best defense when Hikaru had under 60 seconds, which makes it hard, if the opponent goes to the edge of the board its ez, hikarus opponent was staying in the middle of the board

    • @zanti4132
      @zanti4132 Рік тому +1

      To give an example, there's this position:
      White: king on d3, knight on c1, pawn on c7
      Black: king on a1, rook on b8
      White's only winning move is cxb8=B! Promoting to a rook or queen would stalemate, while promoting to a knight leaves you with two knights, which can't force checkmate.

      Nakamura wouldn't have lost if he'd underpromoted to a bishop. Pity there wasn't one handy.
