Pawn to C7 check, QxC7, QxH8 check, Bishop e8, QxE8 check, QC8, QxC8 and mate

@eclecticexplorer7828 2 ай бұрын

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.

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

@KurtvonLaven0 2 ай бұрын

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#.

What is the best approach if he opponent is playing randomly and not doing the expected response for your opening .

@biswajitpramanik5650 2 ай бұрын

same as the video mentions, you calculate forcing lines to check if you can punish them, if not follow basic opening pronciples of chess

@user-de8ft9vy1w 2 ай бұрын

You had an error in this video. Where black king was on h8 and you had black rooks on g8 and g7. If you play rook on g2 and take black rook on g7the black rook on G8 must take white rook on g7. After that if you move h1 rook to g1 you have mate in 3. Black can delay the mate in 1 by 2 moves by blocking with bishop g2 then queen g3 but after that queen to g7 is check mate.the black rook on g7 can’t take the white rook on g1 because it is pinned by check mate by the white queen on f7.

1. Sacrifice the queen by moving to g6. 2.Black has to eat with the rook. 3.White pawn takes rook which delivers check to black's king 4.King moves to the only square left which is h8 5.Rook takes pawn on h6 CHECKMATE! Just a beautiful checkmate by sacrificing your queen to win the game.

I saw this rules and they make sense and are excellent. But I also saw the video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/itiPo5iKtZqceqs.htmlsi=_U3YNCxcdVkxKenR and I like that creative method of thinking that some pieces are not in some place and then force to make it work. How can I mix this method in your video and the method in that link? Thx.
