    At this point the old man smiled and placed a 12” tall mechanic Godzilla on the board.
    “Gojirra wins wins”
    He exclaimed before making laser sounds and knocking all the pieces onto the floor. At this point the club realized the answer: the old man was crazy, and was promptly escorted off the premises.

    I think probably the young girl instinctively thought this looked like a win for white because of how many pieces white has and the other players (who had seen more of these whacky puzzle positions) instinctively thought black would win or it would be a draw due to the nature of these puzzles and how often one side can do really well when the king has limited squares. Still Bravo to her bet she was chuffed at that.

      I expected black to win, given the nature of most puzzles. It's often the underdog that can come back because of the unusual positions and piece placement. When I was trying to solve it though, I couldn't find anything except the perpetual check draw and the stalemate.

    Very sneaky of Nelson to show the Stockfish analysis while it is only at depth 18. I'd imagine by the time the chess engine gets to depth 20 it notices Qd3 and shows a high plus score or even a forced mate for White. So the other moral of the story is, don't trust chess engines when you haven't given them adequate time to analyze the position.

    My gut instinct: White can easily draw by simply shuffling the rook back and forth for perpetual check, therefore this is not a win for black. Meta reasoning says that since this is a puzzle, it's unlikely to be a draw either, otherwise it wouldn't be much of a puzzle. Therefore it's likely a win for white through shenanigans, probably with some kind of fork block at some point.

      And I was super confused when the drawing position was drawn out so much. If you wanted to show a draw, just show the immediate perpetual. Why would white go the length to bait the queen around if they don't see where that would lead to? -> Because this a puzzle and it does lead to something other then a draw given a different move at the end of baiting the queen around.

    I was thinking about that queen sacrifice as it was the only unconventional option to simultaneously block the check as well as breaking the chain, all other pieces had one and only one way of blocking..although I didn't understand the importance of the sacrifice at first, so I thought it's suicidal, hence didn't gave much thought...but I was wrong..and right too.

  • @logansl4008

    My immediate thought when it got to the last move on the draw is that the queen could make a more offensive play, though when you’ve been moving in a box it’s common to just assume that’s the only place you can move by instinct.

    Why, if White does not see the long term queen sacrifice (ie on the black wins or even the draw scenario) upon the second check (white q to D2), instead of bishop to D4, does White not just play rook to D4? This would lead to a perpetual qA2 rC4 qD2 rD4 situation and an easy draw for White.

    @Person01234 Рік тому +13

    Hey, I actually got one of these right. It's not that complicated really, the queen's ability to keep checking depends on her distance from the king and other pieces, by offering the queen sac you simultaneously pull her closer and give your king an escape route, or if the sacrifice is not accepted you just give your king an escape route and make your queen active.

    • @philw6056
      @philw6056 Рік тому

      The black queen can't escape, because the queen and king are forked. If black doesn't want to accept the sacrifice either the king must move away and the queen gets captured OR the queen must block the check and still gets captured.
      In all three scenarios the white king can escape and white wins, but only in the scenario from the video the black queen stays on the board.

    • @qwerty687687

    I still remember thinking at first that Black had a sneaky win up his sleeve until I realized that White could respond to Qg5+ by blocking it with his queen (Qe5). After I realized that, I figured at first that it would be a draw by perpetual check- until I realized that, just as Nelson pointed out, after several more checks, White can block Qd2+ with Qd3+, thereby sacrificing his queen in exchange for the positional advantage of being able to block the resulting check via Bd4 without the danger of keeping his king trapped in the box and forced to be put in perpetual check.
    TL;DR- I first thought Black would win but then saw Qe5 as a way out of being checkmated. Then I thought it would be a draw by perpetual check until I saw the counter check of Qd3+ as a way out of perpetual check.

    Here's how I solved it (rather logically):
    I realized quickly that shuffling the rooks would give white at least a draw. So I considered why white wasn't clearly winning, and deduced that the king having no other escape squares kind of forced white pieces to constantly defend the checks in the 3x3 grid. If any piece made it outside the grid then the king will have an escape square and things could change. I then hypothesized that a queen, being the most versatile, had the best chance of blocking the check outside of the 3x3 grid. I searched for this and found the solution Qd3.

      The key here is that she can't explain how to win. There's many positions where too many pieces leads to a smothered checkmate.

      Maybe I am just way too much into the apologetics debunk channels xD
      I've heard these kinds of stories 100 times.
      They always have a moral you can see by sentence two, could have been shortened to like 30 seconds and padd everything out to the absolute last, giving some filler info inbetween to make it more believable...
      This was like an apologetics clone video for chess xD
      If you've never heard these kinds of stories, I guess they could be fun... but since I've seen 3 videos in the last 2 days like this for chess... I just wanted to voice my opinion.

    @shieldphaser Рік тому

    I mean, you can tell straight from the start that it's not a win for black. The rook can just go back and forth between C4 and D4, always getting in the way of the queen's checks one way or the other.

    - depth 36 he sees a mate in 27
    - depth 45 he sees a mate in 24 (which is the fastest mate)

  • @LordMidichlorian
    @LordMidichlorian Рік тому

    My answer at 2:54. White wins if it can get to ...Qa2+; Qc3+ to force the queen exchange. But that means white needs to swap queen and the rook that's initially at d4, but I don't believe there's a point for white to do that, as the pawn at e4 can't leave its place without denying e5 to the Queen as the queen needs the rook in a corner to go diagonally but neither bishop not pawn can't get off its path and once c6 is done to block a check, which I don't see how to avoid without getting into a perpetual, I can't see how to make the queen change to go clockwise and even then I don't think it's possible as then it's the pawn at e6 blocking the corner for the other rook to get the queen to swap side with by a diagonal block.
    Edit: Dang, I saw the ...Qd3 possibility but didn't follow that in the moment I thought of it and then I got too fixated on blocking with a check with the queen as to go back consider that one.
