Can't wait for the 200 elo people saying "EZ"

Not a good video because you should put the puzzle, full-screen, for us to have a look at and try. Instead you keep it small and then do a zoom with an immediate spoiler explanation

I managed to solve the first one, but I can't say the same thing about the other two. 😅 Too many variables to calculate!

nah at 2:03, i thought it HAD to be Qd4+ bc black queen cant take cuz rook pin, same thing happens, u take the queen, rook takes back, u take the rook blah blah all that good stuff.

unfortunatley there was a rook off screen...

I got the first one, but the knowledge that very few people passed it made me think to be careful. 2nd one was impossible. 3rd one, I didn't see that white's Rh3 is also threatening Rh2 which stops all the 2nd rank threats... extremely hard.

If you post it here for free why not make it free on the app

[NikosKatsikanis]

why would you not give the viewers to try before getting the answer? It’s like Kyle, Vorderman and Caspar final.

I swear the second puzzle is from an Alekhine game ...

Can’t wait for this company to crumble from lawsuits

[conjurermast]

Some of these look straight up impossible to find computer lines, more so than some of the stuff Kramnik reported people for.

[Goggarin]

Who else wnet straight to trying to solve these puzzles?

I like W) Qd4+, forking q an 1:26 d r. King moves, Rxf2 game. To save his rook he'd do so by +. White has this one!

In the first puzzle, why does black kamikaze its queen by taking on f1? Backing to f4 would still deprive white of his rook because if white take the black's queen, the pawn is there to recapture. Then on next turn, black king could escape to g6 threatening white's rook on c7 because queen is no longer pin.

This kamikaze move is what I found confusing. I don't see the purpose.

For the future give us time to think without giving us hints its better that way

[AdhambekAbdumannonov-mibm]

Just first show the task. And at least give 10seconds so that we could see it and solve by ourselves.

[WesternPharaoh]

Failed the first puzzle eight different ways this morning in the daily puzzle. Also, I suggest evening out your mustache, it’s killing me 😊

At least they were rated high. Worse to get an impossible puzzle with 20% pass rate rated 1800
