      queen can be the rook and bishop, but not knight. Knight can capture the queen without exchange.

    • @italixgaming915
      @italixgaming915 3 роки тому

      3:20 You don't even need to capture the Queen right away. You can make something funny and beautiful there: Kh8 (only legal move) Bb2+ Qg7 (since Bd4 leads to Bxd4+ and Qf6 to Bxf6#) Qf4 (so now Qxb2 is impossible because you have Qf8+ Rxf8 exf8=Q#) and there White has a double threat: Qf8+ (with the idea of exf8=Q#) and Qf7 (with the idea of Qxg7# or Bxf7#). There is no defence against that. The King is trapped, the Queen can't move and the other pieces are completely useless. All the options fail: Nd7 defends only f8, Rxe7 and Nd6 defend only f7, and Bd4 or Bxf2+ only give one more move to Black (met by Bxd4 and Kxf2).

    I knew that he would under promote to knight because if he promotes to a new queen, rook can easily capture the old queen. And I already knew the checkmating pattern 😎😎

    What is the winning plan for white at 7:35? It seems to me that black can play f5 and corral the g6 pawn to put up plenty of resistance
