Brilliant Puzzle From 1876 Tells If You Have Chess Talent

[Joel_Duelist]

We definitely need more puzzles like these..

It's a cool puzzle and all, but the real question is how did the black king get there?

[idobingo]

This puzzle was so good even Stockfish didn’t understand until the bishop sacrifice

[niveditavc]

Seeing your chess puzzles makes me improved and motivated. Thankyou so much❤😊

[lloydm]

Nice puzzle, and a great outcome for white. But, in reality, would this really have happened??? Plus there are other ways white could play to win!

[ognjenminjovic]

This one was amazing! We want more of these.

Imagine if 2 GMs are playing and black resigns after bg2.

[landen]

There is qd5, qd3 check, and knf4 check with promising lines thereafter. Much better than an obscure and brilliant line sacrificing everything.

[Ramen_Kenpo]

At 3:44 it's a draw you can wait for your time to be over and it will be a draw due to king and knight not being able to checkmate.(though it's forced you can just wait for a draw)

I don’t feel like this makes sense, I may be 300 elo, but can’t you play nf4+ so the king has to move and then your queen survives, like I’m confused.

1:11 Queen d3 is a check, and nobody controlls that square

[HoldenNY]

Couldn't White just move the Queen to F1 Checking the KIng. The only Move for Black would be to move the Pawn one square down to G2 blacking the diagonal attack by the Queen. But then the Queen can go to 3 D- Checking the. KIng again. I think eventaully the knight can take at least one of the Pawns, if not more.

Wow, that's amazing! Thanks ! I watch your videos and solve puzzles on lichess, they help me understand and find good moves like in this puzzle, and now thanks to this I managed to solve this puzzle and I'm so happy about it!

Holy, that double brilliant+smothered mate was beautiful

[RafaelSang-tqur]

A true smothered checkmate: means that the king is surrounded by all his pieces, no open squares.

[kzkaa.]

My solution(that I got) :

1. Qf1+ g2(this part is with Stockfish's help, although the rest are easy to figure out)
2. Qd3+ g3
3. Qxf5+ Rg4
4. Qh5+ Rhd
5. Qxh4#

Also, apparently Stockfish thinks that taking the Queen is a mistake, instead opting for Rb1+

Edit : nvm. Bg3 loses

[johnnydawson]

In all puzzles, you need to say which side moves and how many moves to mate.

Sacrifice the Queen and the Bishop to activate the power of the legendary immortal Knight

[phillipmarlowe]

Great surprise ending. Good work as always from this channel.

Also I recommend you maybe make a big video with tons of puzzles combined. Just my recommendation and opinion.
