Here's maybe a different kind of puzzle (that I don't know the definitive answer for myself): What is the least amount of material White needs to checkmate a lone king in the middle of the board? (Say a king on D4) Following rules apply: 1. Can only add white pieces (pawns included) 2. You can NOT use the white king in any way. 3. You can add however many pieces you want. (For instance, 4 queens.) 4. Your final position doesn't have to be "possible" in a real game. So say a double check by 2 queens is fine. (But you can't like, stack pieces atop eachother...) So this would of course go without black taking turns or something. You would just have to come up with a position where black has a lone king on D4 that is mated with as few points of material possible. I'm quite the amateur in chess so this had me thinking for a bit. And I think I know the answer (without looking it up). Not sure how easy this would be for better players though.
i found one with a knight, a pawn and 2 bishops, 10 points, but i found what i think is the best one, 7 pawns: OOOOO POKPP OOPPO OOPPO O=empty square K=enemy king P = pawn I guess that we dont have a better one than 7 points
I got the final move right, and although I admittedly didn’t see the Bf6+ skewer at first (I evaluated Bxa5+ for Kxc3 and determined that it was stalemating before he even pointed out the Bf6 skewer), even if the king were to step over to c2 instead of b3, I don’t see how the bishop could sac itself for the pawn
Eyo Nelson, I really like the idea of having a 2nd channel but just a small improvement would you consider making a new overlay? Like one where it says chess adventures and not chess vibes. I thought it'd be a nice touch. Anyway, great series really love it
Tunnel vision is real though. It looked like a brilliant move if you were hoping to skewer the queen, but skewering the queen wasn't the point of the puzzle.
Then black wins, of course. The whole point of the puzzle is for white to find a draw against black's material advantage, not to throw pieces away. But after Bf6? black doesn't even bother to take the bishop, he plays Qa4 and soon checkmates white.
You mean 4:02 ... and no, black certainly isn't winning with R+N+N+P v Q+B, he's losing ... material is even pointwise but black's king is exposed and his pieces can't coordinate against white's queen. e.g., a1=R Qd5 Ra3 Bg5 Rh3 Bd2+ Ka4 Bf4 Rc3 Be5 Ra3 Qd4+ Kb3 Qc5 Ra2 Qc3+ Ka4 Qd4+ Ka3 Qd5 Re2 Qxa5+ etc.
Fire Giant literally looks like Ralph from "Wreck-It Ralph"
He looks like a combination of that and Hal from Megamind
Almost was gonna say the sam
That’s what I was thinking
@@Blazer69420same lmao
That’s what i thought
The damage from rolling down a mountain in a barrel decreases ELO i heard
it takes 2x 2d50 elo
Here we go! Finally, we see the variety and not a character who just wins all the time. Nice episode!
Loving the 'random cruise ship' in the background
The confirmation to what I always suspected. The average Joe is much smarter than me.
the fire giant looks like wreck it ralph change my mind
I did not see the stalemate trap, but I saw every other move.
It's not a "save the game" puzzle without a stalemate trap. I actively looked for it and got the answer.
I just noticed there's a landmark called "Random Cruise Ship" and that's why this is the best series on YT

OOOOO
POKPP
OOPPO
OOPPO
O=empty square
K=enemy king
P = pawn

@@junj1023 Lowest I found was 11. Didn't think you could go below double digits. Nicely done!
good episode, I like that self pin for the stalemate, nice idea to keep in mind !!
Give him a berry.
1. Ra5 bxa5 2. a8=Q a1=Q 3. Qc6+ Kb4 4. Qg2 might also work
Random times these releases - CONTROVERSIAL!
After watching all of these videos I have improved at puzzles😎
Great episode
Your Turn in the Barrel Tonight.
I saw the entire sequence!
Wow, awesome twist. Love this story!
knew it had to be a stalemate from the get go, did not spot the queen check leading up to it though, but did see it after that was shown.
That was a brilliant video
I got the final move right, and although I admittedly didn’t see the Bf6+ skewer at first (I evaluated Bxa5+ for Kxc3 and determined that it was stalemating before he even pointed out the Bf6 skewer), even if the king were to step over to c2 instead of b3, I don’t see how the bishop could sac itself for the pawn
I think the fire giant said, "I'm gonna wreck it!"
Were you inspired by _Tears of the Kingdom_ to add the Crystal Tear treasure into the story?

But what if black makes a bishop or knight instead?
WDYM?
Means the bishop self pinned would not happen
Then he is destroyed by white's material advantage.
@mouykaing7456 It's not a draw, white has a queen. Black would be destroyed.
i solved every move CORRECT!!!!!!
Good video
the message from the raven reached they?
Peter- patzer is better than me and even average joe

I gave you the 6,500 view
Yoo these visuals and story are awesome! I guess over 50 episodes will be made! Are these visuals AI generated?
He said they are.
When?
@@FustinJields when?
You should link to a playlist that has the previous episodes in the description of these videos.
need to add the time codes so I could skip straight to the puzzle 😂
E
2nd
4th
Almost first btw second
My gosh Average Joe is so low, even I (ex 200 elo) could see the bishop move. Hes lying for his ranking
Tunnel vision is real though. It looked like a brilliant move if you were hoping to skewer the queen, but skewering the queen wasn't the point of the puzzle.
at the 4 minuite mark what if white attacks the queen with the bishop f6
Then black wins, of course. The whole point of the puzzle is for white to find a draw against black's material advantage, not to throw pieces away. But after Bf6? black doesn't even bother to take the bishop, he plays Qa4 and soon checkmates white.
8:02 But Black can avoid a stalemate if he underpromotes to a bishop or a knight, which should still be a win for Black.
You mean 4:02 ... and no, black certainly isn't winning with R+N+N+P v Q+B, he's losing ... material is even pointwise but black's king is exposed and his pieces can't coordinate against white's queen. e.g., a1=R Qd5 Ra3 Bg5 Rh3 Bd2+ Ka4 Bf4 Rc3 Be5 Ra3 Qd4+ Kb3 Qc5 Ra2 Qc3+ Ka4 Qd4+ Ka3 Qd5 Re2 Qxa5+ etc.
