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.

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

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😂😂😂

8:27 The bishop from another universe:

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

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

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

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

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

That was fun, thank you.

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.

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

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.

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

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 👏

bro these actually tricked my mind

nice,very nice

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

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

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

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.

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

The first checkmate is capturing the pond

damn this video is great

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

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!!

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.

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

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

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.

Very good🎉😂

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

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.

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

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

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

Love these videos

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

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😊

I love these kind of imagination and eysight using puzzles 🎉

The second one made me punch myself 😂

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

You're fun, I like this site!

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

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

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

pawn d6 discovery checkmate i noticed at the start

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

martin always see mate in one

The third really got me

I solve puzzle 5!!

The 3rd and last i saw the solution immediately

last one is very relatable

Chessscape is the best ❤

1st puzzle: En passant# with the d6 pawn (rarest checkmate btw) 2nd puzzle: Castle queenside/longside castle (another rare checkmate btw) 3rd puzzle: ? 4th puzzle: Bxg4/Bishop takes knight g4 but thats also checkmate right 5th puzzle: King c5/Kc5 (I promise i wrote the answers before seeing the answers from the video i promiseeeeeeee!)

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

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

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

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

Found it right away 😂

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

I knew #1 in like 20secs lets go!

I knew it it puzzle #1 hahaha

Pitbull is playing chess. Awesome material

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

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

One the second puzzle I knew instantly 😂

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.

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

You can also do bishop takes knight on g4 for the 4th puzzle

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

6:45 The queen on a3 also covers that square.

first one i got because of the hint

Guess: en passant? Watched 1 second

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

OMG it was so cool😂. it seems there's nothing on this video but I learned so much!

i just looked at yhe thumbnail and thought d6 immediately

Who is he talking to at 0:10?

in puzzle 3 you can move the white bishop and puzzle 3 i surprisingly saw the bishop

That what’s easy 🎉😂

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

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

Damn I got everything but the 4th

The glasses are so cool 😎

Position 2 castle checkmate👍👍👍

7:28 you could just also capture the knight on g4 with the bishop, I don't see a problem with that.

The bishop in last 💀💀💀

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

I want more of this stupid puzzles😅

Fun fact: just now when I played someone he took the pawn but then (the bishop from the corner)

on the 4th one bishop takes G4 checkmate

I fad it!!!!

Castling

For puzzle #4 Bishop g4 would also work

Lol it's castling I knew it😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
