So in 12:21 Qh4 goes to h2 check White king is force to move to f1 then move ur Queen to h1 now check after that the opponent is force to block the check with the Knight and u sacrifice the queen by taking the knight..white king is force to take your queen after that move ur rook from e1 by taking the rook on e8 check mate..
Wow! that was really a nice lesson! You taught some basic winning principle! Thank you, Igor, again for another great lesson. The puzzle seems easy than the other positions, because, to me, it requires less calculation. The solution is 1. Qxh8+ -- Kc7, 2. Qc8+ -- Kb6, 3. Qxb7#
I love this type of video where you give us puzzles and then ask us to think about the solution before you reveal it and why. I think it really helps. so thanks for posting
0:17 Black only has two legal responses to Nf5+. If they play Kf7, then White plays Kg7#. If they play Bxf5, then White plays Qg7+. This forces Ke6, so White plays Qd7+. This forces Ke5, so White plays Qd6#.
Can someone send me a link of video that has a link to blitz video made by grandmaster. Explaining how to win blitz games. I would be really grateful thanks
Puzzle using your rules: The most forcing move & logical one 1- Queen takes rook Qxh8+ Now calculating 3 moves ahead: King has to move since there is no decent way to defend king then: King c7 is forced. Is there another forcing move? Yes queen c8 check Then king b6 is forced Is there another check or checkmate 🧐 ? Yeah Queen b7 checkmate.. and finally thanks Igor!!
I've got Qxh8+. If black interposes his queen, then white has Qxd8 mate, so black will instead play Kc7. Next, Qf8+ forces the king to g6, the only move available. Qxg7 delivers the mate. This is also a lesson on looking at the whole board. I initially focused on moves towards the king, and I missed that the rook was hanging. I had considered Qxa7+ and f7+, but neither of those went anywhere. In each case, the checking piece is captured, and it is over. Qxd6+ made a little more sense, but after Qxd6+ exd6 (or Bxd6), the only forcing move left is f7+, which still fails.
Very nice work and great educational video! One question though , if you drag arrows it seems easier to calculate or to make combinations etc ..but if you play from mobile and the opponent plays from pc how is that works ??? Isn’t it more fair to pair opponents by device ? ??
That is so horrible bro Firstly, the king can just play ke5 after Rd6 Secondly, After the king takes horse, Qg4+, there is Ke5. THIRDLY, QG4+ GIVES UP A QUEEN IN ONE MOVE!!!!!!!

Im confused
That's easy
Just type queen takes h8 check don't oversmart
@@Olix26 Its not "over smart" it's just normal chess notation and quicker to write.

QxRh8+, Kc7, Qc8+, Kb6, Qxb7 mate
Excellent mate and the only one I can see. Of course, I didn't see it myself. 👍👍👍
It is in dead the answer
Sir, 8:47 - 1. Qg6+, RxQ, 2. PxR+ Kh8 3 RxP mate
qg6 is an illegal move
@@NSA34346U r illegal
Puzzle Soiution- 1. Qh8+ Kc7
2. Qc8+ Kb6
3.Qxb7#
0:18 ..Nf5+ ..
if Kf2 or Kf1 then Qg2#,
if Bxf5 then Qg2+ Ke5 (forced), Qd2#
So in 12:21 Qh4 goes to h2 check White king is force to move to f1 then move ur Queen to h1 now check after that the opponent is force to block the check with the Knight and u sacrifice the queen by taking the knight..white king is force to take your queen after that move ur rook from e1 by taking the rook on e8 check mate..
Wow! that was really a nice lesson! You taught some basic winning principle! Thank you, Igor, again for another great lesson.
The puzzle seems easy than the other positions, because, to me, it requires less calculation.
The solution is 1. Qxh8+ -- Kc7, 2. Qc8+ -- Kb6, 3. Qxb7#
I would love to see more videos like this.
Example 1 check mate- Nxf5+, bxf5 forcing move, Qxg7+ ,Kc6 ,Qd7+ , Ke5, Qd6 check mate
I love this type of video where you give us puzzles and then ask us to think about the solution before you reveal it and why. I think it really helps. so thanks for posting
Glad you enjoyed it!
00:07:56 ❤️❤️❤️ The "problem" with puzzles
10:35 rxg7 is also correct because Rxg7 Rxg7; Rg1 ... and there is two mates: 1. Rxg7 ...; Rg8# or 2. Qxg7#
Thanks for helping viewers unlock how upper level players approach the game
Thanks for sharing these great tips!
Glad it was helpful!
Great teacher 👏 Well done Igor! Best content 👌
0:17 Black only has two legal responses to Nf5+. If they play Kf7, then White plays Kg7#. If they play Bxf5, then White plays Qg7+. This forces Ke6, so White plays Qd7+. This forces Ke5, so White plays Qd6#.
This is one of your best videos. Fantastic content, thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Very practical stuff!
Great content, as always!
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice video, good positions, went strait into my studies. Ty 😊
Excellent!
I just want to ask in here 14:08 after this what if i play pawn g7 to g6 how can white checkmate black?
Starting with Q takes R and ending with Q takes b-Pawn checkmate. Thank you for your videos!
Can someone send me a link of video that has a link to blitz video made by grandmaster. Explaining how to win blitz games. I would be really grateful thanks
Thank you for putting your effort into making this video.
Excellent video Igor. Thanks
Puzzle using your rules:
The most forcing move & logical one
1- Queen takes rook Qxh8+
Now calculating 3 moves ahead:
King has to move since there is no decent way to defend king then:
King c7 is forced.
Is there another forcing move?
Yes queen c8 check
Then king b6 is forced
Is there another check or checkmate 🧐 ?
Yeah Queen b7 checkmate..
and finally thanks Igor!!
@14:38 ah ok, now i know why rook takes rook check, then queen captures knight doesn't work because king still escapes!
You are so good teaching one of the most complex game in the world I learn a lot from your videos I hope you will continue making this type of vids.
Thanks, will do!
I've got Qxh8+. If black interposes his queen, then white has Qxd8 mate, so black will instead play Kc7. Next, Qf8+ forces the king to g6, the only move available. Qxg7 delivers the mate.
This is also a lesson on looking at the whole board. I initially focused on moves towards the king, and I missed that the rook was hanging. I had considered Qxa7+ and f7+, but neither of those went anywhere. In each case, the checking piece is captured, and it is over. Qxd6+ made a little more sense, but after Qxd6+ exd6 (or Bxd6), the only forcing move left is f7+, which still fails.
I've hit a chess plateau recently and hopefully this lets me push to 1300. Thanks for the video!
QxR ck, K moves
Qc8 ck, K moves
Qxb7 mate
Very nice work and great educational video! One question though , if you drag arrows it seems easier to calculate or to make combinations etc ..but if you play from mobile and the opponent plays from pc how is that works ??? Isn’t it more fair to pair opponents by device ? ??
Excellent video with doable advice
0:50 what if we play rook e4 check sacrificing our knight if king takes knight queen g4#
That is so horrible bro
Firstly, the king can just play ke5 after Rd6
Secondly, After the king takes horse, Qg4+, there is Ke5.
THIRDLY, QG4+ GIVES UP A QUEEN IN ONE MOVE!!!!!!!
Good lessons, thank you
Really nice video keep making video like this. I really like analysis in chess❤
❤
Igor, when you say calculate three moves for a candidate move, do you mean three moves for each player or just him-me-him.

Excellent!
What is the best approach if he opponent is playing randomly and not doing the expected response for your opening .
same as the video mentions, you calculate forcing lines to check if you can punish them, if not follow basic opening pronciples of chess
very helpful for me as a 1400 thank you for your deep support
QxH8#
If Qd8, then QxD8 mate
If Kc7, then Qc8#, Kb6, QxB7 mate
Wow fascinating!!
Pawn to C7 check, QxC7, QxH8 check, Bishop e8, QxE8 check, QC8, QxC8 and mate
what about KxC7 instead of QxC7?
Simply the best!!!
Puzzle: Qxh8+ Kc7, Qc8+ Kb6, Qxb7#
Let's go!!!!!!
I've just used the 8th rule to finish a puzzle, thanks a lot
Queen takes on h8 check, king goes to c7, queen check to c8, king goes to b6, bishop takes to e3 check, king goes to a6, queen takes to b7 checkmate
Hey igor I understand it. But what are you doing in close position. ❤❤
Woww so amazing video😊😊
Thanks 🎉❤

Thank you oh wise and mighty one...
Kudos to Igor for following the Magnus rule "create something out of nothing"
thanks sir

Qxh8+ Kc7 (only move) Qc8+ Kb6 (only move) Qxb7#
queen takes h8+
if king to c7 then queen to c8+ king is forced to b6 then queen takes b7#
if queen to d8 then Qxd8#
Great video GM Igor! Thank you for sharing the wisdom! 👍
Edit: I've beaten a stronger opponent that i wouldn't beat before watching this video, this is how good it is.
love this video
Awesome to hear that from you!
1)Qh8 Kf7 2)Qc8 Kb6 3)Qb7# is the answer of this puzzle
brilliant
3:10 I would simply play Bd7.
Answer to the puzzle Qxh8+ Kc7 forced Qc8+ Kb6 forced Qxb7#
12:21
Where do you see the rabbit hole? Because I would be surprised if there would be a hole on the board
Thank you Igor! At last I am sometimes winning a game against my husband, who is a much better player than me!
Queen takes rook h8 check king moves to c7 queen to c8 check mate
Yes
Qxh8+,Kc7,Qc8+,Kb6,Qxb7#. Mate
Sorry typo it is pinned by the white queen on f6 not f7

The last puzzle looks like a simple mate in three. I wonder if I'm missing something.
Easier example of Checks, Captures, Attacks
(who wouldn't want to gain a tempo against the enemy queen?)
Bro is even more underrated than my Grandma's pickles
So true...I can do 2000 level puzzles but I'm still only 1000 level
It's because of the habit and time pressure
Checks, captures, attacks
last puzzle was Qxh8
Is that ground beef you're holding in the thumbnail?
the puzzles were so easy
QxH8, QC8, QxB7
Shoot, I am going to have a harder time increasing my rating if more of my opponents watch this video.
nice
Man i came her after draw with isabel even she only have bishop left and i have 4 pawn and 1 rook💀
Kids coaches will now add this one to their students.
and he sacrificed the queen
First Time First EVER(I am only 1300 elo in chess)
That's a perfectly respectable rating for an amateur. I am currently "only" 1270 myself and I have played recreationally for over a decade and I am highly intelligent outside of chess and visual puzzles.
My tunnel vision senses are tingling!
That's not calculate like a GM, ir's solving easy puzzles like a GM. Red thumb.
QxRh8,Qc8+,and,Q×b7+.1-0
Igor missed a checkmate in 1 playing drunkenstein. explain that! haha
but not everyone is stockfish..?
