The best feeling is when you have no time left on the clock and the opponent stalemates you😁

@carlosroura7581 8 ай бұрын

A variation to that is when you have 1 second left (in a game with no increments) and even if you have a queen and maybe a knigth or a pawn or even more pieces, you know you won't be able to checkmate before you lose on time... but then you sacrifice the queen taking the opponent's last piece, meaning that even though you'll run out of time it will be declared a draw and not a defeat because there's only the enemy king left so there's not enough material to checkmate you in any way

@trassage 8 ай бұрын

I love the format, but I have one recommendation. At the start of such videos it would be useful to say that in all of these puzzles all white pawns move up, all black pawns move down (if that is the case). I, myself picked it up by puzzle 5, I believe. but for some people those unnatural piece placements may be somewhat confusing :)

@Jopo1226 8 ай бұрын

Always remember just because the king can't move doesn't always make it a stalemate...if that was the case then every game would start off as a stalemate, because neither king can move on the first turn.

@liebefriedenworldwide8780 8 ай бұрын

Enjoyed it very much, your content is very creative. 8/10, because once I messed up the direction of the pawns, what gave me the right answer in one position, even for the wrong reasons, but killed me on the next one, also I was conditioned from the first positions only to look, if the King can move, so didn't even see the Bishop giving check.

I have one ot two puzzles wrong, but due to the time. There's no much time to decide. With just a few pieces you can see it quickly, but with many pieces on the board it is much more difficult to see on time.

All but one. I didn't see the queen could move in whichever position that was, maybe #7? I think my board vision is improving, because I was able to spot the legal moves when there were legal moves pretty quickly, with that one exception. I was very pleased to see the mate on the spot.

@emersonarriety 8 ай бұрын

I got 7/10. I missed the bishop checking the king and I wasn't able to see the pawn. I figured the last one wasn't a stalemate, but I didn't see the free knight until after the time had already expired. These are fun videos. It seems easy at first glance, but the timer adds just enough difficulty to make it an actual challenge.

For future checkmate/stalemate puzzles, it might be useful (for the later ones in the group of 10) to keep the number of pieces on the board relatively low and instead decrease the time limit (perhaps to 7, 5, then 3 seconds), to help give people practice and thinking quickly about the positions.
