    Couple of questions:
    1. In an actual game, how do I realise that I need to seek a draw instead of trying to win?
    2. How do I see the difference between RC1 and RE2? Does that come with practice?

      Assuming your elo is 100 and assuming u meant like 5 blueberries, you would have 2500 elo. If the multiplications didn't stack together, you would be 312,500 elo.

    Crazy qeens and rooks is probably the weirdest tactical concept chess has: one of the reasons I'd absolutely hate for the stalemating rule to change (which has been called out for a couple of times). In this case, it shows that planning a deperado spree is necessary at times which is, looking at other games of similar origin just a mind blowing concept. As for the puzzle itself, I got the Kf3 line quite quickly, but seeing the subtleties in the Kf2 line went over my head.

    The stalemate wasn’t exactly the only trick white could use to draw. It could also trade the rook for the queen if the black king was far enough. Then the white king could take the two pawns and it would again be a draw.

    • @virgodem
      @virgodem Рік тому +2

      Also at 2:10, if you use the left rook first to fork the queen and king, with the intention of getting black to take with king and skewering to take the queen, black will simply take with the queen.

    • @aaronscott7467

      I got to do something similar in a tournament game. I blundered early on, and my opponent swarmed in, surrounding my king and taking most of my pieces. The fun (for me, playing Black) begins with the position 8/7k/4R3/2N1B3/1P4R1/2PP3P/r1K2P1P/8 .
      White blundered with 43. Kd1?? Rd2+ 44. Ke1 Re2+ and I keep my rook on the second rank, checking. (I capture the pawn at f2.) When I got to 48. ... Rg2+ (White king on g1) 49. Kh1 Rg1+ (not Rxh2, because Bxh2 releases the stalemate) and no matter how White captures the rook, I'm stalemated.
