Challenge – Half of the Board: You can only move your pieces to squares on your side of the board (the 1st rank to the 4th rank). You must also checkmate your opponent whith pieces on your side of the board. If you must move a piece to the other side, you lost. Good luck to you!
Opposition is so important and my favorite explanation is how Aman explains it as walking your girl to class in school and some dude gets in your way. It’s hilarious and helpful.
You know how Nelson’s been doing some videos on weird but effective openings? He should really make one on the Old Benoni Defense. Most people think it’s weird and unpopular, but I’ve found out their are some really interesting lines in it. Also, because it is so uncommon to face in a game, white can VERY easily mess up and obtain a disadvantage in less than 3 moves! If you’re reading this Nelson, I hugely recommend making a video and learning about the old Benoni (1. d4 c5)!!!! Also I love these puzzles 🧩
I thought I saw a different move for white, that revolves less around the king+pawn endgame. 1. b7, Kb8 2. d7. If the queen takes, the pawn takes, and the king can't prevent both pawns from promoting. If the queen sits on c7, white just moves king and e-pawn forward. If the queen moves elsewhere, white pushes the c pawn.
I'm sure I'm overlooking something, but I'd love to know what's wrong with this.
Bro! Just saw the thumbnail and thought thats it. 3 pawns against King + Queen. After 5min watching for a solution, i know waste another 2min writing this comment about how dumb i was.
Your thumbnail was misleading. There is clearly no way to win that position but it didn't show that White had another pawn in addition to the three visible.
I tried to solve the thumbnail and got a draw…

Instructive
Clickbait
Very instructive ! Thank you Nelson!
Its a super easy puzle
I'm not great at chess puzzles, but what's wrong with b7, Kb8, d7? That seems like a really strong position.
Pawn to b7 id say
The 2 choices in puzzle are about tempo. Pushing the D pawn gave black the tempo needed to gain opposition
1.b7+ Kb8
2.c7+ and white wins
Please do not clickbait
love the new hair btw!
Theres a line where you promote to a kight with check and win.
i feel clickbaited

Thanks for the lesson bro! Recommend any books to understand pawns… 800 elo and up?
How about Pushing d7, then after Kb8, push the E pawn?
I dont like that white doesnt win in the thumbnail

I am or was watching Queens gambit.
Any beth Harmon opening, midgame and closing suggestions?
Did bobbyfisherman get stuck on that island?
Nice one, not hard, but still funny to solve. I love endgames
i did not know about oppostition, i never seem to figure out why some times i make this and sometimes i don't.
Very instructive, thanks!
You should have also covered the line where black captured on b7 before c7, bringing the king the one step closer it needs to be.

These puzzles are so fun and educational, I love it!😊
b7+ Kb8 c7+ Qxc7 dxc7+ Kxc7 b8=Q+ Kxb8 Kd2 Kc7 Kd3 Kd6 Kd4 and white wins, e.g. …Ke6 Ke4 Kd6 Kf5 and promotes
When, after dxc7, you played Kxc7 instead of Kxb7, I expected the huge eagle to land and take you to patzer prison :/
I AM A GM LOOOOLLLL
please can you contiue the story of puzzle island i

This is ez go b7 king has 1 square fork with pawn c7 and you win im not wasting my time looking at this vid
Clickbait without whole picture
f ur thumbnail not showing all pieces
Well explained video
A pawn in front of the king is an automatic draw? Why?
what if the last pawn is a knight?
What if you Queen on d8
Cool!!! Thanks for the explanation!
easy
Yes, Stockfish confirms your lines.
Just get to the key squares.That’s it.
I think the thumbnail lied. It's not possible for white to win with just the three pawns.

I can't imagine a scenario in which those three pawns get lined up that way.
Your thumbnail was misleading. There is clearly no way to win that position but it didn't show that White had another pawn in addition to the three visible.
I had the right move but the totally wrong reasoning. I just didn't want the pawn to be seen by the queen lol
