kicking off our 1,600 level puzzle solving our Knights
hanging oh this one's tough man this one's tough
so first things first at the 1600 level you're gonna need to work through puzzles more than one
or two moves I'm gonna give you a hint it's got something to do with this night the night's got
no moves except taking your bishop so if this bishop didn't exist this would trap the night
thank you so much thank you for that man and I'll definitely I'll definitely share it right
after so you got to take the night we check that opens up the bishop then you take the
bishop and then you trap the knight so it's a three move combo where you clear out the
space and then you play b4 and trap the knight hard puzzle man hard puzzle but again it has
it has to do with the fact that that Knight is precariously placed it is on the edge of the
board you take the knight you take the bishop you get rid of it and boom the Knights tramps
got nowhere to go got nowhere to go that is not a 1300 level puzzle that is BS all right they're
threatening mate our Kings got no moves so how are we gonna get out of this oh this one's also
very nice this one is also very nice this is a six move combo start with a check start with a
check King cannot go up because of the knight start with a check the bishop comes back and
blocks sacrifice the rook the King takes and since the bishop moves now you have this now
you might stop here because that's not me that's not me the rook can go back and block and you
would go oh this doesn't work but wait a second wait a second this rook is protecting this rook
hello let's not forget your brain doesn't let you take the rook because it's guarded but when the
rook leaves you can take the rook so it would be check here check here check here check here and
at the very end of this your knight survives but the rook doesn't and you're up a knight
so check bishop has to block whoops Bishop has the block you take and the reason why you don't
play Knight age six or 97 is very easy that doesn't help you get out of getting mated
right you don't need to think about getting mated right so night here in here night back King keeps
coming so this is a very nice long combination you don't take the rook here cos rook is hanging check
and we keep going all right what oh I thought black was just up a full rook here I still
don't have the answer for this one now I do this one's this this one's okay this one's very tricky
this is very hard does anybody in chat have this yet I'm gonna give you a hint
it has to do with this nice positioning so right now we're oh man this is a material
puzzle this is not going to be so we look at check but then the King just takes
uh this one is um Wow this one is very hard very hard no one has it yet okay someone has
it someone has it it's taking the bishop then taking the pawn and the knight is trapped and
after you win the night you have a four pawn endgame advantage so it's this this the knight
is trapped and then you're out for pawns in the endgame it's not taking the bishop excuse me it's
not taking the night and then King f6 because that doesn't even make the opponent because
the opponent has this and not to mention if you take take and go King f6 they make a queen so
let's not allow them to make a queen it's this and then trapping the night and the
check doesn't do anything because you just go here and you just have so many
Oh 1674 is such such rubbish this is like a two thousand level puzzle this
is way too hard but I'll give you a hint go through checks captures and attacks
no you cannot show a puzzle because we're in the middle of doing puzzles
it is ridiculous of you to suggest over the course of ten minutes to hijack my
stream with an example that your coach shows you that is not how streaming works please
stop asking for it repetitively so the way you go through this of you is you look for
checks capture right and then you don't have another check because he just takes you don't
have any captures except this followed by this and you don't have any attacking moves
right that's you don't have any attack like what can you attack here
right so you take and take and now the night is stuck there you go so but that
that is not a 1674 puzzle anyway I'm Brooke I'm recording this for the YouTube folks so
they're gonna be really confused but don't beg for stuff big big big suggestion in life
why not 95 to escape um oh I should have shown that huh g5 check g5 check and then yeah okay
ooh what is this what is this this is oh wow it is not King age guys haven't you learned anything
checks first checks first check forcing the King back then you want to play rook a shape mate but
it's not mate because the King can come this way so what do you do then you make a checkmate net
you make a checkmate net you move your King up one Square and threaten this the only way this
works is if black has no way to check you and since the King is stuck oh the queen of stuck
over here there's no way to check your King if you play rotate shade the King just gets away
and you have no discovered check is the Kings on a light square so here and the King that the Queen
sacrifices itself if the King tries to run away then it is on a dark square you play check you
in the Queen this would not work if there was a check like on g1 this just wouldn't work but boom
look for checks first check also check
which one of these is right
oh this one's stuff I know a puzzle is tough if I don't have the solution within a second
um oh wait isn't this bishop hanging isn't this bishop hanging
I mean not not like right now but okay what if I go check here check here and just take the bishop
what if I just play check check check check and then I take the bishop that's one idea
I also am thinking to push the pond first because then if here I can make a queen this is a ooh okay
this might officially be our first tricky puzzle what you're worried about in that position after
take two check check check check check and here is perpetual so check and you two here we enough to
maybe you throw in this move or this move
ah
this is tricky
is a very tricky puzzle
I don't know the answer to this one I mean
oh wait no I don't know should we do this simple thing and just take
the piece maybe we just go for the piece take okay I guess we just go for the piece
take I'm not really sure why this is right because I yeah I mean because they're there
honestly was some way to throw in a check and force I don't know I don't
know why that was right but there you go don't over complicate matters you know
I'm not I'm not confident in that answer but all right this is a
pawn in this is a knight versus pawn endgame so push here push
isn't the pontius promoting here take you know a six ear a seven isn't that just we
just push the apon okay this is a terrible puzzle I literally push the pawn three times push push
push puzzle solved cool very very okay I mean I I mean here you just need to know how to defend
pawn end games where do we move the king ladies and gentlemen which one of these is a draw in
which of these is a loss you gotta go straight back you got to know how to defend pawn end
games and then you gotta go straight forward very difficult endgame oh boy that was so challenging
I want to take the queen I can't because I'm pinned oh this one's
nice though this one's nice take with check and then you can get
your King out of the pin via forcing nature long castles with a check
long castles with a check and then the queen is gone kaboom and KaBlam 18 points OPA long castles
with a check and then you will take okay this is not made in one because you are in check so you
need to play a move with your king although it's not very difficult I mean you only have one move
so the question is do you play c5 or do you play King f6 if you play c5 now
you probably just play King f6 right why on like there's no reason to play c5 so King f6
oh I know what it is Bishop rook Queen that's the hint that's the hint Bishop rook and Queen
so King f6 oh okay well Bishop rook and Queen you have to give this check in the middle of
all of this chaos you need to give the check and win the Queen that's what you have to do
you have to give the discover cheque and pick up the Queen so I think it's this and then you
win the Queen that's also very challenging because most people would be tempted to take
the bishop but that brings the rule it's not breaking the rules you got to give the cheque
first Bishop c5 check then you take the Queen see it all boils down to the rules you all I
miss that well why didn't you follow the rules why didn't you look for the checks
first right like you look at you play the auto move but it's you know okay check No
oh but this one's nice this one's nice okay so then you look at this that doesn't work because
the Queen takes and you know this one's nice what's the third most forcing move in chess
the attack the attack why is this the right answer well it traps the Queen it traps the
Queen and if they take then you take because the Queen no longer guards the pawn because
the pawn is here they take back you play Queen takes and it's mates because Queen King got no
moves and the hardest thing to spot on all of this is the bishop covers that square as this
pawns moved so its rook g6 here here +10 1608 is [ __ ] I mean this puzzle is not
a 16:08 puzzle all right check King takes nothing big hints we're down material in
this puzzle we got a win material I think it's Knight c4 because the King is the only
Garter of this rook so we go check oh but this is tricky guys do we take the rook
what do we do here do we take the rook or not wasn't that our whole idea to take the rook
or not don't break the rules
fools
rokay one you know why rook c2 is wrong because you're gonna get mated and the way you could
have seen this for yourself is if you looked at checks for your opponent so it's rook a 1 and
now you're gonna take this rook with a check and now you have to find rook D to check and that's
it alright we're gonna do a couple of more what the hell is this garbage check and check what
what
am i stupid what am I missing here check
what what what okay whatever I whatever
all right no checks the only capture I have is this and it does not look like after that I have
anything can I attack anything I'm seeing this pin I like this pin I don't see anything there
rook e8 looks very natural threatening I'm not sure what but maybe something I feel like it's
rook e8 but I don't really know why it's rook e8 does rook e8 have a I mean rook e8 he can check me
but then I just block what is the threat on rook e8 though what like what am i threatening am i
threatening to take take and give mate somehow some check yet probably there is a mate I mean
it's mutts most likely some move like rookie a it's the only move that make rookie seven also
makes a little bit of sense but rookie seven isn't as threatening because then you takin the
bishop comes back so it's probably rookie eight although I might be wrong I might just I might
just be missing something very obvious here okay and here you have to find a nice move you have
to find a nice move here it's the fact that the this rook is guarding this rook so instead of
taking this rook you have to find Queen takes f7 and the route can't take you because of this and
the bishop can't take you because back rank will move away by way away away away away wait the
bishop can get back in time it's not so easy wait wait a second so here here here here here and you
get in with the rook is that winning yeah that's winning that's a win because he can only check
you on these two squares yeah that's winning okay so Bishop here rook here and the only two checks
available for the opponent are on that diagonal and I mean you can just run your king or block
and that's a winning endgame all right let's solve two more and we will be done for today
checks captures attacks I see a check he takes no follow-up
I can take this he takes ah and then I have baited the Queen on the same file as my rook
which means that this pawn is pinned which means I can take the rook which means if he
takes me back I will take a free Queen boom and boom and boom that took 30 seconds I just
focused on that side of the board I take the rook he takes my rook dynamic I take the rook
it's no longer protected because the rook on the other the Queen on the other end is
going to be hanging ah checks captures attacks check capture what what is what is this check
how is that if how do 50% of people fail this puzzle
what Oh people probably take with the bishop people probably take with the
bishop when they go I'm rejecting diruk oh it's correct you just keep it simple
dude just take with the Queen because bishop here you're gonna get hit with b6
a puzzle is that if you play Bishop here you're pinning yourself
and then Bishop here here you take the rook I take your queen right so just take with the queen dude
anyway that concludes our 1800 puzzle run
and we'll try to climb to 2,000 in the next video
