Love the intro, good job mate.
Your videos show about thinking of opponent's probable moves against our moves. As such they are educational. Most of the situations are faced by us, the common player.
I love how these videos are always ready right when I get back from school
It's summer holiday, no?

I got it right for the wrong reason - I thought that the king would be able to get in front of the pawns that way. After some calculations, though, I don't think that that would be a good idea.
Same
Same here ^^
Doesn't look so bad, at least worth explaining why it doesn't work.
@@yyyy-uv3po the black king could approach the B pawn while the rook could make waiting moves behind the A pawn. If the white king stops protecting the B pawn, the black king could capture it. If the white king promotes the A pawn while protecting the B pawn, black could sacrifice the rook for the piece and if white recaptures, the black king could capture the B pawn. If the white king tries to sidestep the B pawn and push it, the black rook could capture the unprotected A pawn and pin the B pawn to the king. All of these options could lead to a draw or a loss for white.
@@Crowsinger Thank you, kind Sir.
@@yyyy-uv3po you're welcome. 😊
Even if the same mirroring could happen somehow this would have still been winning for white on A7. The black king wouldn't have been able to move onto F3 because the pawn threatens a square earlier in the chain, which gives white the time to get a queen.
I actually assumed this would be the solution when you pointed out that black couldn't step their king onto G3.
Thats a puzzle inside puzzle
I remember that old puzzle
Driving at only 60 miles per hour, a car would never reach outer space because that is below Earth's escape velocity (7 miles per second).
Earth's escape velocity is assuming you don't put any more energy into the car after it leaves the ground. But if a car somehow manages to maintain their 60 mph speed, then it can escape earth's gravity. Not to mention that 60 miles is definitely not far enough to consider the car to be far enough from earth to be considered to have escaped its gravity.
@@danielyuan9862 I think you forgot to take gravity into account.
The escape velocity is a concept that assumes that the object is not propelled.
@@reubenmanzo2054 I mean it could reach space, it just couldn't stay in space.
@@nwoDekaTsyawlA Being propelled just means you undergo acceleration. And if you can't accelerate above a velocity of 7 miles per second, for one reason or another, you won't leave orbit. Gravity will catch up.
Is it going to be a tradition that we get to know a random useless fact every video now?
I hope not
please stick to chess Nelson
The cigarette lighter was invented before the match.
It's not useless. If you become a rocket scientist it's gonna be important for you to know that outer space is at most 60 miles from the surface
@@chessguy047lmaoo
@@prawnydagrate but its not related to the video man
That was instructive! 😊
I liked the fact before the video and found it interesting, not useless. Nice studies, good channel, I hope you are feeling ok.
I know Iron Moth and Great Tusk were in this video but I think Ultra Beasts and Paradox Pokemon should have their own segment.
Like with this set
Iron Thorns @ Booster Energy
Ability: Quark Drive
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 28 Atk / 228 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Supercell Slam
- Ice Punch
- Earthquake
- Dragon Dance
I manipulate the EVs so initially (under E-terrain) it’ll give a Def boost, but once you use Dragon Dance once you get an Atk boost.
"That is not a good move" who even needs good move? We want best move in the posistion
would have like a bit more about the 1. a7 Rb1+ 2. Ka5 line. It's not the same pattern of taking the opposition because after 2 ... Kc5 3. Ka6 Kc6 white has 4. a8=Q+. Instead black needs 3 ... Ra1+ and can hold from there even after the white king hides in front of its pawns with 4. Kb7. for instance black can draw by threatening to sac the rook for the a pawn and nab the b pawn with the king. but it's a variety of different looking lines compared to the rest of the puzzle.
Is going to take you longer to find the exit on the highway
Well, the key is to keep the king in the same file is the key but you need the rook to restrict it as well but staying away from the pawns that can become a queen. Er, maybe G6 too, not sure, nope, to need to control H1/H2, or G1 and are in the wrong starting position. ...
The Earth is a sphere with a roughly 8000 mile diameter; the thickness of the atmosphere is about 60 miles.
Though what happens if you play KB5 then A7 ? Because after RB1 you have KA6, if black goes RA1 you have KB7 which I think it's winning for white and if black goes KD6 we could just promote ?
A pleasure to watch. However who was the composer? Thx
I love the facts you start off the video with
_It'd only take an hour for a 60mph car to drive to outer space._
No, that's not right. A car cannot be driven vertically and would need sloping ramps, which would take much longer.
(The chess is great, though, thanks!)
:)
That also fails to exceed Earth's escape velocity, which is 7 miles per second.
It'll need a couple floating gas stations. Fill 'er up?
@@SpaceCadet4Jesus
Yes, the transportion of sufficient fuel is another problem.
@@reubenmanzo2054you don't have to reach earth's escape velocity to reach space
@@danielyuan9862 Yes, you do. Because you need to outrun (for want of a better word) gravity.
Queen vs rook, use the same idea of interposing the kings and use the queen to check them into such a position or loose the rook.
Q vs R is NOT the easy win everyone claims. In fact, as far back as 1984, Cray Blitz challenged then 6 Time U.S. Open Champion Walter Browne to a Q vs R endgame (Browne had the Q).
After 50 moves, Browne had to take the draw by the 50 move rule.
About two weeks later, he was given a rematch. This time, he won on move 50. This was in Chess Life magazine, the USCF official magazine.
Wait what if black do rd2 after the rb2 check?
Rb2c ka1 rd2 A8 rd1c ka2
Is this a draw?
Can black draw?
I've never been to space and I've driven at 60mph all the time
What about King B3 at the beginning?
When are we gonna see a puzzle where white's pawns move backwards?
6:38 Yes, tricky win ... Rook vs Queen endgame
It's not actually tricky. It's just plain hard.
@@danielyuan9862 "Hard to remember the trick..." I think too
@@danielyuan9862 Tricky and hard mean about the same thing here. Just different ways of saying you have a hell of a job on.
ALWAYS say who is to move before giving us an example
Exactly.
He literally says it after just 8 seconds.
I actually said King to B5, and I have a hard time seeing where that isn't also a winning move. If Black mirrors your move with King to D5, then you move the pawn to A7 at that point. Black seems kind of stuck there. If they check on the B column with the rook, the King retreats to A6. Black can't continue pursuit with the Rook, and if they move King to C6 to threaten checkmate, then the A7 pawn promotes to a queen to check Black and force the King away. It seems like you get to a winning position much faster. Am I missing something?
after b5,c5,a7. black plays b1 check, if white king to a6, black king to c5. white is now forced to either promote on a8 causing a draw after rook takes queen. or white advances king to b7, where black can simply play rook to a1 and keep playing rook to a1 and a2 until white promotes causing a draw
It takes a car and hour to reach space at 60mph... So outerspace is 60 miles away? XD
yeah i totally found that
Isn't outer space beyond earþ's atmosphere layers?
If so it would take more þan 1 hour because according to my knowledge þe outermost layer of earþ ,"exosphere" respectively, streches around 500 to 1000 km (or about 625 mi) into space
It is generally accepted that outer space begins at 62miles, calling it the Karman Line.
The Kármán line is based on the physical reality that it roughly marks the altitude where traditional aircraft can no longer effectively fly.
Anything traveling above the Kármán line needs a propulsion system that doesn’t rely on lift generated by Earth’s atmosphere when the air is simply too thin that high up.
@@SpaceCadet4Jesus interesting definition of "outer space"
@@Beleidigen-ist-Pflicht of course that is still inside the varying exosphere, but further enough that it requires a different propulsion system so the decision is made somewhere.
If you are looking for space without Nitrogen/oxygen molecules, then outside the variable exosphere is your place, as you said.
@@SpaceCadet4Jesus sometimes it truly depends on þe perspective
I like how you’re trying to bring back þorn as a letter
That was so funny what you said about the car. Wonder what your thoughts were. Maybe just about the distance? There are many things about the emptiness and vastness of space that can be demonstrated in various ways. Wonder how long you would need to travel before you find another planet that also has chess.
Why doesn't work: Kb5 - Kd5, a7-Rb1, Ka6 ?
It all depends on who move it is but continue...
It's typically assumed that it's white to move unless otherwise stated/or the board is flipped
I find a7 very fast, I am proud of myself
Nice fact
This was interesting
Regardless black checkmate in three.
Exceptionnel
Yeah, but good luck trying to win a KQ vs KR endgame.
(Sure, it's theoretically winnable. In practice... the algorithm is extraordinarily complicated. Maybe master-level players might know it by heart, and not even all of them.)
Didn't get that one but its late here
Now how do i win with a queen vs a rook💀
Find a fork.
If your opponents not an idiot your only chance is time.
If you moved p-a7 (as you suggest is white's winning move), I would counter w r-a1
With respect (seriously, I love your videos and insights) I don't think you've solved this yet....
If you did that, white would respond with: P-b7 and there is a queen. I don’t think you have solved this.
5:35 a7
Its not true what you said about the car with 60mph ... not at all!
space is 60 miles above sea level, if a car travels UPWARD for 60 miles an hour, it will reach space in an hour
why on 6:25 black can't go Rb5 and do the same pattern as before?
a8Q.
@@mrdraw2087 thanks, it's was the only missing piece for me in this puzzle
If you say 1 mile = 1 thousand steps it takes 60 miles to go to space to 1000x60= 60000 so it would take 60000 steps to get to space
On average, it’s about 2,000 steps in a mile. Though I guess it could be 1,000 if you take really long strides and are very tall.
@justinc0336 the word mile derived from the Latin Mille- 1000. Caesars troops, even tho the romans were short, were rumored to take 1000 steps (mille passuum) to cover a distance, which distance was then called a mile.
@@user-hu8mf8su8e I did not know that. Though I looked it up for my own curiosity and it was actually 1,000 double paces, or two steps. So it would still be considered roughly 2,000 steps by today’s standards.
what about king B3 -- for white 5:50
nvm the game ends in like 4 moves
what if in this 5:33 position, white move a file pawn instead
It leads to stalemate. It is a much better move than the other pawn though.
@@Roxxigaro nvm, it lead to checkmate
But how many of us really know ho to win rook vs queen? 😢😢😢
there is no point to say that words in the beginning😂
... yes it wins ...
I’m a creeeper
Aww man
So we back in the mine
@@jewelsofjuly7377got out pickaxt swinging from
okay but how long would it take a train to reach outer space going at 60mph?
It'll be shorter, because trains are faster than cars 😎
Is it faster to the moon, or by bus?
Depends on the schedule.
Thanks for the random facts lol
Depends on who is to move first. If it's black to move, he wins easily. If it's white to move a7, wins.
I thought we were black
Same.
The video literally says "white wins!"
May I suggest
P-a7. R-a1
K-b5. K-d5
P-b7. R-b1 !
K-a6. K-c6
P-b8 - convert to knight !
Cant you just play king a1 after a7 whats the problem here 6:13
Your comment does not make any sense
@@sebastiaanpeekstok4577The comment technically makes sense. The answer is just literally no. The move is not legal lmao

Why? Why the dumb statements in the beginning?
Because the video is unfortunately not tailored to you. Are you seriously not okay with Nelson saying a fact for 10 seconds?
@@danielyuan9862 its irrelevant, it makes no sense why he says it. He just say it and carry on like nothing happened.Makes me question his sanity and ruins the video for me, i open the video with a good mood and then i immediately close it.
