Come for the chess puzzle stay for the chest puzzle.

I saw that this video didn't show up on your "videos" tab in KZfaq, and I only found it because it showed up on a playlist. Can you make it so that you actually upload it as a video so you'll get more views and likes on it?

awesome problem, at the very end when Ke5 was played so the rook on b8 "couldn't give more checks" I wondered what about Re8+, turns out that doesn't work because Ne7 would block the check and also is a discovered check, followed by Kb8 and Rb7+, since the knight is taking away the c8 square Ka8 is forced allowing discovered checkmate by moving the rook back on the b file

Chest A has gold because if it was in C or B there would be 2 correct messages in both scenarios

really interesting puzzle! I didn’t think I would watch all 12 minutes of this. Thank you for making these videos, they help a lot.

the answer of the three chests puzzle is obviously chest A, since the message on B and C are contradicted, one of them must be true, that means the message on chest A must be false

Great stuff. You explain so simply which I like.

0:37 the gold is in chest A because either chest B or C Is definitely a lie because they can’t both be right and it says there are two lies so the other is A and A says there is no gold in there meaning it lied and the gold is in chest A. Lol Great video keep it up👍🏻

Well presented; thank you for sharing.

Great video, thanks! :)

Love your puzzle videos ❤❤❤

I usually get right idea but not all other complications. This one I am thinking Rook to C7 check > b8 rook blocks leads to checkmate so other rook blocks > knight to a6 > Now black is in a zugzuwang moving the unpinned rook will lead to checkmate. If pawn move then that pawn can be simply captured. If bishop moves and gives up c7 then also a smothered mate. But pretty sure I missed some tricks there.

At 7:19, in the resulting endgame with Rook vs pawn, the win is not trivial since the white king is so far away. If black plays b5 in that position, white must play Rd6 to cut off the Black king off from advancing down the board to support the pawn. If the pawn gets 2 ranks away from the king, white’s rook will be able to capture it by itself. If black doesn’t play b5, white’s king has time to come over to the b-file.

How about this one of mine. Rc8+ d5 Nxd5 Rxc8 Nc7++ Kb8 Na6 mate. A beautiful mating pattern for all to see!

9:56 black IS able to make a check with the rook to give its king a space - move it to b4 after the king moves to f4. i’m probably missing something but idk

Great content bro keep surprising with amazing puzzles

Is this just a puzzle of from a real game? Looks insanely complicated, part of a test suite for chess engines! 🤣

This tricky win for white speaks for itself

Can someone please explain what happens if Rc5+?

**Chest A has gold** -If A and B was false then it is impossible that they would both had gold. -If B and C false, according to message B it should be in chest B, and according to mesange C it should not be in chest B. Again impossible. -If A and C is false, according to message A the gold is in chest A, and according to message C it is not in B chest, and only true message B confirms it.

Wow what a nice puzzle

Idk what it is about this puzzle but it just activated my god mode

i know this would be random but watching you work through a puzzle real time with eye tracking could be so cool

Rc5. If black blocks with the pawn we can safely take with the bishop. R8b7 leads to Rc8+ and R5b7 is met with Na6. If, black now moves the rook, Rxc8 is mate. Else, we play Rc7. If the bishop captures on c7, Nxb7 is mate. If not then, Bxb7, Rxb7, Rc8+, Rb8, Rxb8#. Edit: Nvm. Overlooked Na6, Bb6, Rb7, Rg8+ and white loses the rook and the game.

It's mate in two, launch a discovered attack by moving rook to c8.

Wht if after king h3 black plays rook(b8 to b3)

@9:56 but why couldn't Rb4 check be played instead of Bg5?

Why didn’t the black pawn take the white rook at the beginning? How’s did white rook get there without getting taken in the first place?

At 10:19, this “winning endgame” with R+B+N vs. R+B+P seems quite tricky for the average player…..

White Rd7 is better than Nb6 10:31 bc Nc7 is check mate if take rook ... 🤔 or white scarifies pieces and still losses.

Chest A is the answer. Chest B and C are contradictory statements. One has to be true and the other has to be false. Therefore, Chest A is false and the gold is in Chest A.

Yay I got one for once 😃

At the moment 10:07 black can play Re8+ and after that I don't find any mate or material advantage for white

ita chest b aint that obvi?

I found another win when lower rook protects but it takes 3 moves 1.Rc7+ R5b7 2.Na6 d5 3.Bxd5 Bg5 4.Bxb7+ Rxb7 5.Rh8+ Bd8 6.Rxd8+ Rb8 7.Rxb8# 1-0

Gold is in Chest A

The answer for the sponsor puzzle is A cuz if chest b and c are contradicting one another one of them has to be correct but since there is only 1 truth chest A is lying

Very good description of out comes, based on the blacks 2 rooks. however what happens when white rook moves from c6 to b6? Black loses a rook next move because black can only block with rook b8 to b7!

Nice!

Chest A hooray

Wait wait wait how did this happen? Pawn D7 didn't just move there. Why didn't black take rook on the previous move. I don't see how we could realistically get into this position.

You can do a easy check mate by playing c8

Whats about Re2 at 10:12?

Hi sir thx .

why not rook a6?

Sting of piece like a bee

My first move would be Rook to D6.

The gold is in c

Sometimes material advantage is not as good as pieces quality!

10:07 rook e8??

why not bishop e8 to capture rook on c7? y remove the white rook and white can trade a little bit but that still leaved black with 2 pawns and a rook vs a knight

2.28 rook to b6 is good move right? Y not

The gold is in chest A.

Why is the rook not put in line with bishop and queen?

Wy not tower C6

My guess was rook c8 Edit: i recant that i misjudged the distance of my knight and considered a smothered mate using both bishop and knight after taking one rook.

what is 4:41 rok plays h2

More simply, if your opponent has one bishop, stay on the other colour square.

😮😍😍

how about 1. Ra6...... ???

Rc8 prob

another puzzle that i solved

You can go to the puzzle itself at 1:04. His ad ends at 1:03.

If the Gold is in Chest A then the message on Chest A is False, the message on Chest B is True, and the message on Chest B is False, so the gold must be in Chest A.

the gold is in chest A

chest a has gold

cool

Nope, didn't see that one at all

Chest A had the gold.

Привет

Too much for this old brain 😢😢😢😂😂

I actually did it🤓

I got it by seeing thumbnail

Chest c. If c is lying, it’s not in b, and a and b tell the truth, meaning c has the gold

'all videos white to play.and win.

its chest A guys

The gold is in chest A. 2 of them are lying. The 2 liars cannot be A & B because that would mean the gold is in both A & B but it can only be in 1 chest. B & C cannot both be liars because that creates a paradox in chest B where it simultaneously has and does not have the gold. So the 2 liars must be A & C. If A is lying, then the gold is in A.

None would have foreseen all this in an actual 3 min game so what's the point to analyze all this

Rc8+ Rb5-7 Rxb8 Kxb8 Na6+

A-has the gold... chest B is the only one true message, Chest A and chest C are lies.....

B

Chest A.

Answer is chest A

Chest b

Chess A

this is yet another puzzle i think people need to word themselfs properly in chess and such its not to play and win the very next move like you lead me to believe with title ...

Your voice is actual ASMR. You should take advantage of this gift.

Chest A

I've never seen a video stretched into 10 minutes so hard in my life.

And then he sacrifices THE ROOOOOOOOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hello

good morning nelsie poo

And then he sacrifices THE BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISHOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And then he sacrifices THE KNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best move for white would be Rc5 to prevent the black pawn move d5 from covering the white bishop along the diagonal because the white bishop would just take it. Now, either of the 2 black rooks could block the white square on b7. If R5b7, then Na6 and black could either move its other rook to c8 or bishop to any black square; if R8b7, then white Rc8+ mates. If bishop moves, then white rook moves to c7. If black bishop captures white rook on c7, white's knight mates by taking the black bishop (suffocated mate). If black bishop does not capture white's rook on c7, then white's king moves closer to blacks pieces to win. There would be no stalemate because blacks bishop is free to move. To summarize, WHITE BLACK or WHITE BLACK or WHITE BLACK 1 Rc5+ R8b7 1 Rc5+ R5b7 1 Rc5+ R5b7 2 Rc8+ mates 2 Na6 Rc8 2 Na6 Ba5 3 Rxc8+ mates 3 Rc7 Bxc7 4 Nxc7+ mates

5:17 As black i rather would have tried to move Rb8 to b3.

If Chest C is true, then the gold would need to be in chest B and that would mean chest B is false ... so the second "false would need to be chest A ... which claims the gold is not there... so it iS! But that creates a conflict since the gold would have to be in chest B for C to be true. So chest C has to be false .... which means the gold is NOT in chest B. That leave A and C ...but since chest C is false .... and B is true ... the other false statement has to be from chest A ... which claims the gold is not there ... lying chest!
