It's from Dvoresky book, it's a must read if you want to study more endgames

I honestly don’t know why i did that extra:)) i think my brain stopped working or i was too focus on one idea

I did manage to lose it with black.

@@gniewomircioek6845how?

Nope 🥲

I am glad you like the video and thank you for your kind words

The white king can move to a8 or c8

You've got it backwards, the white king on b8 can move to c8 or a8 , if the kings positions were swapped then it's a stalemate

When?

@@ChessCrafters-lk4dv never mind, I figured out why it wouldn't work.

@@ChessCrafters-lk4dvat 3:18 instead of Bc5

@@ChessCrafters-lk4dvthe idea was probably to deflect the black bishop twice for an extra tempo on the way back to d8 (it doesn't really do anything though)

Oh nm, it frees the rook to block

Did you managed to find it?

Wow! Thank you so much!!! I am really glad you found my videos useful!

I am glad you found my videos useful

not really, it doesn't matter what white would play, he cannot win.

Maybe it's a clickbait

Yep

Rd1, Rd6 by black, and if white tries to defend with Kc5 again and thinking to promote next turn, than Rd8. Black plan is to wait and until the white king is too far away from defending the B pawn and capturing afterwards.

@@ChessCrafters-lk4dv Thanks, first of all! I'm trying to figure it out in detail. So, Kc5, Rd1; Kb5, Rd6; Kc5 Rd8; Kb5 What now? If Rc8, Ka5. It looks like black is winning with Rc6 (a8=Q+, K×a8; Kb5, Kb7), white still has the resource of playing Kb5 first. Now it's R×b6+ and either Ka5 or Kc5, followed by Ra6 (only move), and only then can the a pawn be safely taken, without losing the rook. Unless I'm missing another defensive resource for white?

I think that after 1.Kc5 the quickest winning moves for Black are simply 1...Ra6 and 1...Rb1. White is in zugzwang after 1...Ra6! and ...Rb1! and is forced to move his King away from his Pawn b6, and then Black wins with 2...Rxb6(+)

And if a8=Q+, R×a8. Looks like it works!

Glad you like them!

I am glad you like the video. Usually you are right, under promotion is used to avoid stalemates. I know i have another video like this, with an under promotion that would win the game. If you like i could link the video

Thank you for your support David!

This is the correct idea, to deflect that bishop from guarding the B8 square

You promote as well, and black couldn't convert this because he has no way of skewering your king and queen. All he can do are checks. If he stop giving checks, than you would start checking until a draw is achieve

@@ChessCrafters-lk4dv Thanks for the response. Is K+Q vs K+Q+P usually a draw if the pawn isn't about to promote then? You might think that provided you own queen defends the paint, that your king could work its way towards it for shelter. It is an interesting and surprising position for sure. I could possibly have drawn it playing it out, but I certainly did not see all the little details ahead of time. Knowing the Reti position leads you to a lot of the right moves on principle though.

The deadline for submission was in the day i posted the video, so it wouldn’t get confusion or they would say something negative that i reveal the solution

I'm pretty sure the deadline was 31st July?

Thank so much for the donation ❤️ I am glad you found my videos useful

I am glad you like the video

There is actually a pattern for this, i would make a video about this

​@@ChessCrafters-lk4dv Thanks. Waiting.

It depends on where the pawn and the king are placed. In some scenarios its a dead draw, as the queen cant capture the pawn because of stalemate and the king cant come closer because of the threat promotion. In other scenarios you can force the king in front of the pawn, giving your king the time to get closer and capture the pawn. You should really study these positions, as they are really easy to learn and will prevent you from throwing away a won position, or possibly keep you from loosing a drawn position.

@@Scmonk Ok, so it is not just me. Thanks.

If the pawn is only on its sixth rank than the K+Q should win if they move first. If the pawn is already on its seventh rank, then a pawn on the a-, c-, f- or h-file should get a draw.

Glad to hear it!

Glad you enjoyed it!

You're welcome!

No, and of course I felt pretty silly after you revealed it.

Didn't even try, just watched ur explanation

I would think about this

I am glad you like the puzzle

It's pretty much straigthforward if you played the correct first move

I am glad you found it useful!
