Hi Igor, I love your videos, you are for my money the clearest chess concept communicator on KZfaq. If I might make a request, I’d love to see you doing a video of how to evaluate enemy pawn breaks in the early and middle game. When reviewing my own games this is often the most mysterious aspect. Sometimes you’re supposed to reinforce the pawn and maintain your structure, sometimes you wreck your structure and capture the enemy pawn, and sometimes you push your pawn and try to lock the structure. I’d love to hear your approach about how to think about these scenarios

I know this puzzle is quite famous now since MC did it on camera, but do people not realise that b5+ Rc4/Qc4/Qc5 (the only legal moves), Re3# also works? It might not be as fancy as the Qa8 move, but it's still an unstoppable double checkmate in 2 moves.

puzzle: Qa8 black is in zugzwang king has no legal moves if rook moves and stays on the 6th rank, Nc5# (black queen is pinned and can't take) if rook moves and stays on the c file, Nd6# (black queen is pinned) Queen must guard Nd6# and Nc5#. d5 is the only square that can do that in this position, but it's already there, so it must yield; whichever square it yields, knight goes to that square for mate. (rook is pinned and can't take) I've seen the Carlsen video like a year ago, still took me 10 minutes but i'm surprised i still remember parts of it! zugzwang and pin are the key themes :)

@VirginVulture 28 күн бұрын
It's funny how black would want to play a defense where they would be counter attacking or defending solidly but the B4 pawn sacrifice completely subverts their expectations and forces them to play in a style that they did not wish to. Paired with the fact that they usually would not know the opening theory and ideas to this sacrifice and you've got an almost won game!

Fun puzzle ... I read someone else's solution; I doubt I could solve in short order. But it's obviously carefully setup as a puzzle. No game would ever result in this position. I mean, look -- white hasn't lost a single piece (only pawns), black has only 2 fighting pieces left and 2 pawns. Essentially impossible.

LOL That is a tricky mate in 2. Took me a couple of frustrating minutes calculating circles around a ton of forcing variations leading to mates in 3 before finally coming to my senses and realizing that 2. Re3++# just HAD to be key , and that would only work if d4 was unavailable to the black King. Once that idea was established 1. Nf5 jumps right out as the solution but is busted because of Qd8+! Yeah it's 1.Qa8!!

You can take the queen and win easy by eliminating pieces. I will keep at it. I want to so much get better. So I guess I will still climb the hill of pain.
