the time has come to hit mastery
what is this I don't understand what is that what is the
is this like a defense puzzle do I basically have to not get mated here okay so it takes
what what is what is the trick here I mean obviously I have to go here if takes Queen
takes Queen f8 f6 I just need to find that I can bring the bishop back I think I think
basically I need to bunker up here I need to play all the moves that defend against
mate and then I need to play Bishop g6 ok so this is yeah we're starting to see a little
bit more defensive puzzles here now this one is going to be a winning puzzle so we have Bishop
e5 Knight c7 oh this one's nice it's got to do with the Queen this one's very tricky you can
spend a lot of time here calculating Bishop e5 knight c6 you know rooks e6 pawn c6 Bishop c6
King d8 that looks pretty convincing you can also look at Knight b6 but I think this one is
oh this one's a beautiful one it's queen bee five
um
you know queen b5 and the idea is that if the if the night blocks you've got this so
this check or this check will win you the queen by discovered check and if he plays King d8 you
actually can take the night this is a beautiful puzzle so for those of you that are not at this
level yet you can just watch you can pick up on some of that like the cool things in chess
this is where like creativity is a new element that we're adding in right so you play Queen b5
the King moves then we take the knight and if the Queen takes the Queen the knight and then the rook
deliver mate to the King so very cool right very very cool so Queen b5 this and then yeah I mean
smothered mate on see a very nice very very nice little little trick there here we're up a bishop
why can't I just take the pawn
I'm a little confused and that I'm threatening Bishop here picking up the Queen if he goes here
I take he takes my queen I go here I'm in time - yeah it looks like just queen up for
okay I mean takes I don't understand how that was difficult but okay all right this one's our this
Wow what is going on here it's got something to do with my night oh we've seen this pattern
before in the 1200 or 1400 video Knight b3 attacking the rook and the knight and if he
takes then I take the night and we forked the bishops that's kind of cool that's kind of cool
it's kind of cool don't worry it's chess police stuff it's not 94 no because then the night just
takes and guards its night be 3 and then the bishops are forked and we pick up one of the
bishops 2300 how is that a 2300 puzzle so what I don't understand what else are people playing in
this position except for Knight b3 this is what I don't understand there's nothing else in this
position so anyway weird okay this is a rookin game check here here here check I feel like it's
something a bit more forcing but if you push and they take I'm not sure you have anything
I think it is this so here here here here Rho G one King h4 III
yeah maybe that's it I think it's I think it's just promoting one of these phones I
mean III he just they just say can your king can come but I'm just checking you although
although
it also could be this this and then push that also looks pretty good that also looks pretty
good I think that that that might actually be the wind I think it's check and then push
because the thing is you can't push right now but if you check first and then push and then
if takes your just prove I think it's this in this and now II too and that's it nice
nice little so this is called auxiliary idea okay and I and I got this from the
book imagination in chess it's basically when you have to break through with the pawn but
you have a second idea you need to play first to make that idea work so you need to kick the
King away from the defense of the f2 square and then you're winning and if you get checked then
you know you just go forward a square and he can't check you again so auxiliary idea
okay it's not taking the rook it's probably check here or check here
check here check here okay and then Queenie say okay so it's Queen f6 Bishop f7 that's just I mean
that wasn't difficult at all that was just a lot of checks the hardest I mean I guess would have
been if he goes back but and we have two different mates okay this was just a lot of checks check
probably right probably right
it's probably right I don't know raid
from who
what
you
what
what's going on
op distracting me for my puzzles I think it's work f1
you
I don't understand isn't this just winning let's take the rook
oh I have to find a defensive move I just take
Brook this is so funny so if you move your queen here you get hit with takes takes and
then takes but always look for checks if the pawn takes you take the Queen
if you take the rook first and the Queen takes you take the Queen so your upper rook
no matter what happens here you actually trade the Queen that's pretty funny 2095
takes no we have no checks this looks good because we're attacking the queen and
simultaneously hitting the knight doesn't that just win I mean this move just wins material
because we discuss there's no discovered check because we're hitting the Queen so
you
okay so I guess the question is which way do you take do you guys
know which way you take do you take care with the bishop or with the queen
you at home can also pause I'm asking my audience Bishop is wrong you need to take with the Queen
into the more forcing move because if you take with the bishop I don't need to move my rook
you're actually pinning yourself to your king and if the bishop takes h4 comes and you just
lose your bishop because you you now just get pinned so it's Queen takes and this simplifies
and we cross 2,100 all right this one's gonna be some sort of mate check here nothing oh wait
yes that's it very funny idea this is called the boomerang technique so check here and you
can play queen g6 threatening mate on h7 let's scan that they can't check us they can because
the bishop covers the whole diagonal so check here here and then if they take the knight we go back
so we play queen G cigs they take and then they go back
and it's me so this is called the boomerang technique because you go forward you force
a move out of them and then you drop back for the mate go there and back boom nice
21:17 check but then they just block capture capture hmm this one's a little
tricky I don't see it right away also they're threatening this so what are we going to do
I got it I got it remember auxiliary idea
this idea is going to work but you need another one first take this
rook takes Bishop check and this doesn't work anymore because you take King here and fork
you attracted both pieces to the perfect squares to fork them that is a very hidden
idea in all of this you need to play rook c4 force the Queen to come here then check and if
the rook doesn't take you and drops back you either take the rook or drop in with the fork
right so that's a hidden idea you you don't need to give up on this idea you
need to you need to put together some of the ideas this is obviously too hard for
some folks and that's okay but boom boom +16 OPA 21:33 let's hit mastery let's hit
mastery we're ten minutes in what the hell is this I feel like this is a mate somehow
check here no check no check probably not that that's just stupid
we can also play a slow move because our opponent doesn't have a check
check hang back No
I think we need to do this oh this is yeah way over a check here check here
mate so you need to find this so the King does not escape to this square
yeah honest of all we get so much donations and subs on this channel that
that you know the acai bowls play for themselves play pay for themselves
as we got we got folks in the chat that I've known me since I was 11 years old
shout out to mop mop mop my man ovo so I think it's check here
ah ah ah
waitwhat how do I not have a maid there
how do I not have what I was there no mate in this position
do I need to play this first is it a mate net and then I'm threatening queen c8 and
since you know you can play waiting moves when they don't have a check
and since he doesn't have a check I go here here check yeah that wins and then
if King ba die have Bishop back boomerang thank you if you can't make them by force
do that alright check here
and then what rugby six this looks like a mating net to check here Rugby six setting up rugby eight
be careful about stalemate rook here check yeah that's it so check and then rugby six
and then it's forced mate and then yeah and this is not stalemate okay nice another another mating
net a lot of mating nets a lot of kind of you know putting our opponent in a little box check
probably right that looks really strong King g7 we win like this so he has to
play back to one of those squares King g8 we play probably queen g4 yeah so here here
queen g4 with discovered attack if we move this rook we're hitting the Queen
no he is room g7
I said rook f6 first maybe a rook f6 work f6 Queenie four and then or maybe rook f6 now
so check here I mean I think it's this let's start with this
check block
that's not good check and block is not good so maybe no I don't think it's working up
SIG's maybe it's not age five or maybe I give a check on the back rank oh I do
give a check on the back rank and then if king of that's made and if here here
where's my win so weird
why am I not winning where's my win
you
it's such a weird position rook check and rookie seven
I mean I saw this idea and then he takes and then I can just move
Wow is it really check and then back to threaten the Queen and mate and
you allow the check but then you can go King g1 this is a oh my god that
is such a hard puzzle Wow okay yeah I mean yeah this is this is
you know this is a very practical puzzle you know in the sense that you know you gotta
you gotta find all the best moves and then absorb the attack and then play King g1 and
there's nothing that they can do you gotta allow sometimes it's like you're looking
to avoid a move so much you don't even realize you don't have to avoid it it's it's tough man
you
that is a very difficult one is gonna be a little bit easier I think this one has to do with taking
this and then playing queen c3 that looks like it just absolutely just absolutely destroys their
setup just night before here but 95 also looks really promising so between the two of these moves
I think I'm gonna take on e5 is that it attacks the Queen and then if takes Queen here attacking
every single piece that they have so that looks very convincing I think I'm gonna go like this and
take on c3 and then take on b2 and we cross 2,200 with that puzzle so yeah this one is
you know this one was a nice one to end on I think night before I'm not really sure why night before
would not be the right answer maybe there maybe he just doesn't have to take the night because
when I go here he kind of has to take right so like cuz I'm hitting the Queen but if you
go see I don't know so just go with the more forcing one the more forcing one attacks the
night so there you go and you get it right nice 20200 still undefeated we'll continue after this
