- International Master Eric Rosen shows positions where the solution features underpromotion, promoting a pawn to a piece other than a queen. Underpromotion is sometimes necessary to avoid stalemate.

Its all in the name...
Eric Rosen !
Just came here from Eric Rosen when he did it against a CM on the winter marathon on lichess
Agadmator has a series called "what is this sorcery", and the first one is a real amazing miniature with the greatest underpromotion ever, something to bring to the next lesson maybe.
agadmator channle mei aia kya khass hia bhia sab log uske bahut bade fan hai yaar
More Eric please.
How did a small child figure that out while I gave up after 5 minutes?
I need to rethink life.
Magnus was drawing Kasparov and beating Karpov when he was 13. We have no hope man
Fantastic presentation
"Welcome everyone to the secret life of pawns"...what an introduction...lol..
Great Video Eric!😃👍💯
Thank You for the Excellent Insights Eric!! :) ... Mike.
Impressed how easily that kid got puzzle 1
Promoting to a second dark square bishop... awesome problem as it is something we automatically dismiss.
At 33:00 wouldn't knight B3 defend the pawn even after Pc3?
KxN
Are there key commands on a phone that can temporarily disable underpromotion?
Sir can you please take a class on bishop vs the knight endage . This video was awesome
On 5:55 b8=N Kb7 kf3 Kxb8 kf4 looks like good from white (I am not test on endgame table base)
Around 13:00 what about capturing the A-pawn?
I wondered that too.
It's better to just bring the bishops to where they need to be, winning the a pawn isn't very important.
It's a way to trick the black king in taking the bishop and be too far to stop the white king, if he doesn't fall for it, it's the same situation.
It would still work out actually, if king takes then it's too far away and you win, if he doesn't take then next move just connect your bishops and it'd still be a win. Correct me if I'm wrong though I'm not very good in deep calculations
Wow, the days before stafford, oh no my queen, and rosen traps
what if queen a6 and if he tries to attack with rook or queen then rook c8? how can he stop you from mating him if you put queen a6?
In the first puzzle ? Your move would allow Qe3+ forking the rook, with no mate for white after that. And keep in mind some other quiet moves could lead to Qxb7 simplification.
nice video
I really wonder if someone ever needs to underpromote when ever my pawn reachs 8th rank it usually irritates. I would ask why the hell I would need smaller pieces. Finally I found one.
owow thati s oustanding yar uperb superb great great underknight promotion
Wow, I never thought two same-colored bishops could be powerful!
This guy should try to go off on his own. He would make a great streamer
Something about him tells me that he would become famous for queen sacrifices
@@flamingzucchini7843 Yeah, he really must not see the queen as a valuable piece.
I never have auto-queen on.
Oh come on no one promotes to bishop,you promote to knight or queen and sometimes in rooks when its king and pawn vs king and its easier to checkmate with rooks then queen because stalemate.
There are puzzles where you need to promote to a bishop to win/find quickest checkmate
@@slamalamadingdangdongdiggy5268 thats not true but i learned that sometimes opponent could force stalemate if you promote to queen,anyway,i made a mistake
I can relate to rook being preferable than queen in king and pawn vs king, but please see the content before you post a comment in any online forum! This video is literally all about situations when you HAVE TO underpromote, and there are cases for each of knight, bishop, and rook.
