OH MY GOODNESS THAT IS AMAZING.... Totally glad I kept watching; was not expecting such a beautiful method of domination. Who knew what could happen with three knights?
That separating bishop from king and trapping it is one of the most amazing things I've seen in 40 years of chess. Amazing how the idea is to win the bishop, while myself (and many players) would just try push the black king back (and pos fail)
Really interesting. I would like to see more of these endgames where the material count is equal but one side has (a) major piece(s) and one side has minor pieces. Although for this one, even though the material count is 9 vs 3, technically for an open board, the bishop could worth like a rook, like 4.5 points or sth
@@JustAnotherCommenter What reason is there for the knight to be 3? By looking at endgame scenarios, we can construct the value for all pieces from first principles. Pawn: being the standard piece, 1pt. I think we can agree all other pieces are worth more than the pawn. As demonstrated in the above video, 2 knights can't force checkmate, whereas 2 bishops can. Therefore, bishop must be greater than knight. Since 1 rook can force checkmate without requiring another piece, apart from the obvious, rook must be greater than bishop. Now, there's a certain point line to force checkmate, if you're at or above that line, it's possible, if you're below that line, it's not. That line quite happily sits at bishop plus knight, since bishop and knight can force checkmate, so we can safely sit the rook there. You'll notice that aside from the pawn, I haven't assigned any values yet, but here's what we have so far: B>N, R=B+N. The queen has the movement capacity of a rook and a bishop in 1 piece, so we can sit the queen at rook plus bishop and then plus 1 to account for the fact that the queen only occupies 1 square compared to 2 squares for rook and bishop. So, the final formulas are: B>N, R=B+N, Q=R+B+1. If we set the knight to 3, as you've posited, then since bishop is greater than knight, it must be at least 4. This in turn puts the rook at 4+3=7 and the queen at 7+4+1=12. I think we can agree those values are wrong. However, if we let the knight be 2, this leaves room to put the bishop at 3 (tick), which makes the rook 3+2=5 (tick) and the queen 5+3+1=9 (tick). If we let the knight be 2pts, everything else falls into place.
18:22 “Stockfish is sooo clever”. Certainly, but the tablebases are *not* Stockfish. In fact, SF is known to be pretty bad at long, complex endgames, unless for those ‘Syzygy’ tablebases.
You had a mate in 8 at 12:14, you were going a different route to Stockfish, but were still winning! The original move you considered, Ndf4 was the correct one. I believe you thought the king could escape to g5, but that square is protected by the knight at e6.
You can actually force a king in a corner with 2 knights, you just can't force a checkmate unless your opponent blunders mate in 1. You'll stalemate before you get to checkmate.
After the first constellation I already thought doing the same thing but with the big nuisance of the bishop is going to be near impossible so maybe first eliminate the protector instead of king hunting and hanging the win.
"What's the idea?" is so much more the better question than "What's the move?" I've learned from watching your and others chess videos. In this case, I saw the idea right away...trap the bishop. However, understanding the correct idea and executing that idea is what separates the patzers from the masters.
what about 4 Knights vs 1 Queen I think that would be super interesting to see as I found this problem also extremely interesting especially stockfish/tablebase's idea how to solve it
Its a win for the 4 knights i played against stockfish( took help from another stockfish😊) and won in 43 moves with the knights 4 bishops vs queen is actually an easy win believe it or not
this is brilliant ... thought I'd switch off after the first 10 seconds but then I got more and more drawn in and then Wow!! How do we know that all those table base solutions are "trapping the bishop" ideas? Too much to check out .. maybe ask an AI to do it for us??!!
nope, it is still draw by insufficient material even if you have 9 one colored bishop or however many more. Even if the opponent play completely bad moves they can't get mated.
at 12:29 tell me if I am wrong d5 -> f4 (king is stuck, bishop is only piece that can move), h7 -> g8, d6 -> f5 (check, only one move), h6 -> h7, e6 -> f8 (check, only one move, h7 -> h8, f4 -> g6 (checkmate)
Only if they have a pawn you can blockade on their side of the board with a knight. You have to essentially force the king into the area with the blockaded pawn, abandon the blockade to create what would otherwise be a stalemate, but since the enemy pawn can advance instead of stalemate you can position your pieces to checkmate. Without the blockaded pawn, you can never force them into a situation where they have no escapes without also letting them stalemate. To avoid stalemate, you have to create a hole, which lets them continue indefinitely.
no one really knows, even in the oldest known versions of chess knights already moved in L-shapes, my guess is that people thought it was an interesting piece and so the knight never unchanged
Where do you see that? The black king was on F6. For a white knight to check it from D6 for a fork, black's king would have to be on F7, F5, D7, or C6 (c4 and d3 were protected by king already but to include all theoretical possibilities, those are all the squares the white knight can see from D6)
Promoting to a knight is rare but occasionally useful if you need it to prevent something that's going to kill you, like, next move. Promoting to a rook/bishop basically only occurs in puzzles so that you don't stalemate.
I dont get it, ok bishop is trapped, but there is still no checkmate and you are forced to destroy your knight structure and you release the bishop again

Two knights only sometimes win against king and pawn - whether it's a win or a draw depends on a bunch of factors like which file the pawn is on, how far advanced it is, whether it can be blockaded and where the kings are.
