    This is my favorite episode. The puzzle fits the story narrative so well. Being that Bobby's rating is so low at tha point he got lucky and poorly played to the point of sacrificing all his pieces but still ended up winning

    Chess Adventures
    I love your videos. I want to be honest. At 2:10, I wanted to move my King to D6, to defend that pawn.
    Chess adventures I love how you explain that was a wrong move.
    You Chess adventures are such an awesome awesome awesome person, and your videos (all of them) are smashing cool, excellent superb videos all of them. All

    Future plot twist: Bobby Fischerman plays someone a game of chess, plays a horrible move, and ends up in Patzer Prison himself!
    5:31 There was an old rule in tournaments that said that if you checked the king, said check, and it was actually mate, the game was a draw (!).

    Very nice puzzle, but I have a feeling that for this episode, Nelson used his AI to generate the image AND the plot!
    "Hello random stranger, want a key made of gold for no good reason?"

    • @theoofer478
      @theoofer478 Рік тому +4

      Not necessarily. The purpose, the drive of the characters in this story, is to present and solve puzzles in exchange for services, information, and items. While I do agree that there was no good reason for Bobby Fischerman to encounter a Hermit who conveniently has a golden key, it probably was not A.I. that generated the plot.

    • @salamence6828
      @salamence6828 Рік тому +3

      Maybe story reason?
      "The hermit from before purposely gave Bobby Fischerman the key in order for him to go into the lost ruins. What Bobby Fischerman didn't know was that the hermit was working with the Botanist... After a puzzle or two, Bobby finally reached the lost ruins. There, he spotted him. The one that lowered his elo to 280... The botanist! He was searching for the archeologist in order to steal his chess elo with the blue apple!"
      ...No, this would probably not work ._.

    3:45 when forked, can't black take with the queen? This will force a recapture with the e3 pawn, moving it closer to the king. It's still a 3 v 2 pawn endgame with both kinds right there so the outcome is a lot less apparent. My guess is still a white win but it doesn't seem trivial to me.

    • @danielyuan9862
      @danielyuan9862 Рік тому

      It's pretty simple actually. The white king is close enough to defend the pawn that is on f4 and Black's king can't get to white's pawns at all.

    When you win by accident.
    At 6:20, why would Bobby play Rf4 instead of e4. It looks like a safer check and thus seems more in character for someone rated 280.

    • @lethalty6055
      @lethalty6055 Рік тому

      If e4 was played first, black king escapes on Kf4. Rf4 happens because the bishop is forced to take it since all 8 directions the king could move would be an illegal move. All of blacks pieces blocks all safety moves.
