If You Know These 15 Words, Your Chess is EXCELLENT!

[sutaideru]

I got 15 right and I'm on the 950 - 1050 range. Something isn't right. LOL

1. Zwischenzug is an in-between move, like playing a check before recapturing a piece because you can recapture after your opponent must respond to the check first
2. Alekhine's gun is a special and powerful battery where you line up two rooks in front of a queen to maximize pressure
3. Maroczy bind is a positional pawn formation (often used against the Sicilian defense) with pawns on c4 and e4 to control the d5 square and prevent your opponent from moving much
4. Tarasch's rule is technically non-existent, because it is Tar*r*asch's rule that says rooks belong behind passed pawns
5. Nimzo-zimbabwean defense/attack is a hypermodern opening system for black or white invented by Mortal Chess that remains undefeated in grandmaster play

[ItzTrevorzilla]

The bonus words I think are
1: zwichenzug is inbetween move.
2: Alekhine's gun is the 2 rook and queen combo on an open file
3: Maoczy bind is a setup that white usually has during the sicilian where he places his e and c pawns on the 4rth rank
4: Tarasch's rule is the rule in rook endgame whn you have to place the rooks behind the passed pawn to make it easier to promote.
5: I only know the nimzo indian defense and I feel like nimzo zimbabwe defense was just invented 🤣

Wake up babe, mortal chess has dropped

[MiguelJohannPRINCIPE]

As a 600 elo who got 13 right, i am now a 1500-1800 rated player

[s.o.k.]

2:29 I'm fairly sure the term "battery" comes from the military term "battery" and not actual batteries like AA

[goiu]

The Nimzo-Zimbabwean defence is the only hypermodern opening, or better, the only chess opening in general, which hasn't yet faced a loss in a classical game. Players in the league of Smagnus Scamsen and Mortal Chess frequently adopt it with great results and ruined life for their opponents.

[davidsandrock]

Number 10-A is the Knight Attack. From that position, you can get the Fried Liver Attack, the Lolli Attack, the Traxler Counterattack, the Polaris Defense, or the Fritz Defense, depending on which moves are played. The Fried Liver is specifically this continuation: … d5, exd5 Nxd5, Nxf7 Kxf7, Qf6.

[ivank]

Mine was pretty spot on. I got 14/15 and I'm like 1600. Hypermodernizm got me. I feel like a lower rated player can score high in this test if he watches a lot of chess videos.

3:42 That bishop is actually not pinned if it is white to move. Bishop gives a check (Bb3+), King goes to a legal square then rook is hanging.

[anirbansarkar]

6:19 You cannot promote to a bishop. Two same colour bishop cannot checkmate.

[LongQuanVu-hugm]

Underpromotion have to be g8 = R. If g8 = Q, stalemate

[Code-]

1: when you play a move which instead of doing the expected move, you play another move in between, it is called a zwinschenzung, commonly called an "in-between move".
2: idk
3: when two pawns, with a gap of one square, together control a common square in the center, it is called a Maroczy Bind.
4: idk
5: meme or not, it is an opening created by this youtuber where you pull out your rooks to the center and the other pieces follow, creating a solid attack and a pretty good defense despite its looks. It follows hypermodernism too.

I got 15/15 on the normal test

[AlcheonArt]

"En passant the only truely forced move in chess", trueee 😂

[AndreaXV]

1) Zwischenzug, also known as intermezzo, is an inbetween move.

2) Alekhine's Gun is a battery of your two rooks and your queen. Very strong attacking formation

3) Maroczy Bind: a pawn formation that manages to close completely the opponent's access to the d5 square.

I don't know the others but the Nimzo Zimbabwean sounds like a joke

[dawsonwu]

AT 0:59 THE BISHOP ATTACKS 2 PAWNS, ITS A FORK!

[ilikeandloveeverything]

i hope this guy covers the alekhine defense. Its one of my favorites because it literally lets your opponents overextend their pawns and eventually you pick them off one by one in the middlegame

[Axiomatic]

Got all 15 and the first 3 bonus ones. I'm 1200 blitz, 1700 daily games, and apparently I'll be starting a chess youtube channel soon.
