I was racking my brain trying to figure out how white can checkmate from h1, never realizing that it can be done from the opposite end of the file. Will I ever learn?
At 3:53, why not move white bishop to f3 to protect the rook on f1? Then if black pushes pawn to g4, pull white bishop back to d5. Black now has to move his bishop and white can then take black rook with white rook for check. Did I miss something?
As always I appreciate the efforts you bring out. Imagine someone already having analyzed all the positions, traps, etc and then making this video. It means you put a lot of efforts in giving us the simplest video to watch it, analyze it peacefully. God bless you.

I really enjoy your very thorough analysis videos. Thank you.
0:33 "black is slightly better here" - Shouldn't ever say this in a tablebase position, as we know the outcome with best play (a draw in this case)
Beautiful. Thanks, as always!
Saw the key move, but failed to see the continuation after the sacriifice. Great study, thanks.

Sooo beautiful smothers 😂
Very, very easy. I saw immediatly the whole combination until end from the diagram in the beginning. I needed 10 seconds, no more.
I even thought about the bishop move, but I didn't calculate it after the rook capture I was able to see the pawn promotion move.
Very clever!
I wonder what percentage of viewers can solve this in five minutes or less? I certainly couldn't. Nice puzzle!
Just found the first move as obvious, but not the continuation ...
You always make it look so easy. But I can't get it in a real game 😩
I got this one!
👍👍👍👍👍 😁
