Good puzzles. For the fourth one, I could be wrong but bishop takes knight on g4 may be another solution.

Position 1: En Passant also stops the queen blocking, which was another reason that simply pushing the pawn couldn't work.

For puzzle #3, one can deduce the checkmate in one without the ranks being numbered (and the files being lettered) by the mnemonic "Queen on her color"; meaning that at the beginning of the game, the black queen always starts on the black square. In this setup, the black queen is actually on the white square, which means that the king and queen would be in reversed positions from the initial setup if black were to start on that side of the board. Such a position would be impossible to achieve from the correct setup, which could only mean that black had to have started from the other side of the board.

Look’s like I’m a cheater.😢

4:38 That was soooo funny😂😂😂. I didn't even look the board. I was like what the heck is wrong with you, there is not a checkmate in 1 move. But then I start laughing😂😂😂

I saw Bxg4 on the fourth puzzle, and at the last second, I saw N(b)d4. And for the longest time I thought both were checkmate and you made a mistake. But I found out I was wrong! Haha!

I love how the first one is literally impossible cuz he doesn’t say the last move until he reveals it

8:27 The bishop from another universe:

These puzzles do stretched my mind 😅, I almost can't find checkmate in puzzle #3 until you revealed the final and true answer. Impressive puzzles.

“This is the hardest puzzle” me who solved it in one second

For puzzle #1, i thought the checkmate in one was d6 discovered check but then i saw the pawn that could go c4 which i think is a good move because if the bishop that checked captures the pawn, the rook will capture and the white rook will capture and rooks can NOT capture diagonally

I guessed right 4 out of 5, the 3rd one I already knew so it kinda doesn't count. I missed the 4th one, I thought it was Bxg4+, didn't notice that the pawn could block.

6:38 White Bishop to G4 takes the Knight and it's checkmate (maybe)

Pitbull is playing chess. Awesome material

3rd puzzle was so frustrating haha. I realized the ranks were swapped, but it did not calculate in my mind the way it affected the pawns

at first, for the puzzle #4, i thought there wasn't checkmate but the corner bishop and King move is check or checkmate

😊These puzzles are amazing 👏

the 3rd checkmate was so cool, i didnt even think about that

*founds the mate in 1* "YOU BECAME THE THING YOU SWORE TO DESTROY‘

I appreciate your content it does open different avenues of thought I have tried for so long to think from the other person's perspective ...But am s focused on winning that i seem blind figuratively in one eye ..And am developing strategic patterns ..Which work but seem to rob the Random beauty of each move changing the entire game....Thank you!!

Thank ryad this is very useful (and i solved them all) can you please make more of them.

Out of curiosity, for that 4th puzzle, is anything stopping Bishop takes G4 from being mate? Edit. Ah. Pawn block. Yeaaaah those are the little things I miss that have kept me from cracking 1000.

got the checkmate from castling move but my mind was blown.

Who is he talking to at 0:10?

Puzzle 1: dxc6+# Puzzle 2: O-O-O+# Puzzle 3: Nd3+# Puzzle 4: Nd4+# Puzzle 5: Kc5+#

bro these actually tricked my mind

I solved all the chess puzzles except the fourth one, I though that Bxg4+ was the correct move, but then I realized that the pawn could block

7:40 or you could take the G4 knight with the H3 bishop instead.

guys for the fourth puzzle Bxg4 is not mate, because f5

What is the out of the box reason for you to be wearing sun glasses in a dark room?

That was fun, thank you.

Thanks man i learn something from this vidio to look much deeper for possible checkmate

I saw the solution as soon as I heard to take into consideration the last move played, immediately thought of: en passant checkmate

Welp the checkmate in 1 is forcing your opponent to resign buy telling them there's checkmate in 1

Puzzle 1, not even 3 seconds in I screamed EN PASSANT!!!!

The second one made me punch myself 😂

Got them all. On the third one, a huge hint is that the black king and queen are on the wrong squares to be in the initial position.

That Castling scenario messed with my head. But then I'd had a few 😎

I havent even press video on 1st puzzle and I solved it on thumbnail

some of these puzzles are in the Soviet Chess Primer book, which I'm reading so I could figure them out easily

I figured out by myself that he answer to the 4th puzzle is 1. Nb3-d4#

1. Dxc6 en passant mate 2. Castles queenside mate 3. Nd3 mate 4. Nbd4 mate 5. Kc5 mate

black was a bit cool in puzzle #3 because he didn't lose pieces and went almost to the eighth rank to promote

When you touched the king, i saw that you can castle and realized 😅

In the 3rd position, I figured out by myself that the answer is 1. Nd3#

the fourth one was really easy actually, but it was pretty confusing at the start

1. If that guy move his pawn double step at last step, then it's solvable. 2. If king and rook didn't move, then it's solvable.

This is what i call a real puzzle because its a tricky puzzle that you need to use your brain cells by the way thank you for all the videos i have learned a lot from you like oppositions and many many more😊

In the 2nd position, I figured out by myself that the answer is 1. O-O-O#

there's a chesskid short just like puzzle #2 and i want to tell my chess club friend

The first checkmate is capturing the pond

after the 2nd one i just looked for the most retorted moves

I love these kind of imagination and eysight using puzzles 🎉

BRILLIANT VIDEO!! 🙂 What is the music in the background though?

For the 4th chess puzzle first i see there are many pieces in the board i see that bishop takes knight and it also covering the square of f5 and it would be a checkmate i experting that he say bishop takes knight but he say knight d4 checkmate i was really confused there are two checkamtes and he didnt say bishop takes knight

martin always see mate in one

I think I also got the third one - the pawns are going down the board and we deliver checkmate with the knight!!!

i just looked at yhe thumbnail and thought d6 immediately

The position of the puzzle is actually possible, but you need to be able think outside the box 😊

In the 1st position, I figured out by myself that the answer is 1. dxc6 e.p.#

En passant is forced 💀

The first puzzle gave me enough enlightment to go on to solve every other puzzle correctly

These are more like mind puzzles than chess puzzles, but im not complaining

3:20 If the ranks weren't swapped then this would be a possible position. The black knights can jump out and capture the white pieces, then hop back

There was 2 checkmates in 1 in puzzle 4#

last one is very relatable

The bishop in last 💀💀💀

i got the right idea on 4 just missed the pin and got 5

Thanks chesscape i learnt alot just 1 question in the 4th position isnt bishop g4 capturing the knight lead to checkmate? Im around (700)

I figured out by myself that the answer to the 5th puzzle is 1. Kc5#

Bishup from h3 to g4

on the 3rd one u could have taken with the BISHOP

Great fun. Thx. Great accent too. A bit of Yul Brynner here.

Why can I not checkmate with the bishop?

7:30 doesn't Bxg4 also work in this position?

The positions are so simple

nice,very nice

I think I saw this video before, because I immediately saw the solutions. That usually doesn't happen to me.

I solve puzzle 5!!

3:19 I got to this exact and I mean exact position in 90 moves. Do you know anywhere I can paste the PGN?

1. Pawn D6

Position 3: isn't Bxg4 a checkmate?

Damn I got everything but the 4th

One the second puzzle I knew instantly 😂

For the fourth puzzle you can take the knight with your bishop to checkmate

Castle to ladder mate

as a 100 noob, i can confirm that these puzzles are indeed tricky.

1st position could be even better if the king was on f3

1st puzzle. A similar position was reached years ago in a tournament. The referee stated the c5 move was illegal... as this is the equivalent for the black king to put itself in check.. there is some argument to be made for this. . The black pawn never indeed reach c5. It was killed before on c6.

Puzzle #4 can checkmate with bishop too only knight can check mate???

how about the bishop for puzzle 4 cant it go to G4

The clue on puzzle 3 is the queen is on the white square

I knew #1 in like 20secs lets go!

4th puzzle, isn't also ND4 checkmate? (talking about the knight on F4) that's the move I spotted. i am curious if I am correct about it.

The third really got me

Chessescape you can also deliver checkmate in the 4th puzzle by taking with the bishop isn’t it correct

The 3rd and last i saw the solution immediately

Found it right away 😂

You can also capture the g4 knight on the 4th puzzle and checkmate him in 1 move.

I solved every one but the 4th... Honestly said the bishop, but didn't see the pawn
