Episode 5 : The fishermen was actually Bobby Fischer.
Early
The previous puzzles were just puzzles, but this is a chess puzzle hidden in a story! Great for younger audience!
First plz pin
5:00 I have a question. When pawn promotes on c8 to a queen, can rook go to f7 discovered attack on the queen and the rook is protected by the king, so when the king moves out of check, the bishop takes the queen? just curious.
Awesome
5:00 this is a draw black isn't in trouble he has a discovered attack with check so the queen is a goner
The fish is stock fish
My first guess was actually b7 and I was actually right
This man shoulda been makin Putt-Putt games lol
4:53 isnโt there a check with a discovered attack on the queen??
5:00 their is a check with the rook and a discovered attack on the queen.
Nelson you forgot that in 4:56 minutes when black rook takes on b7 pawn c7 pawn promotes but the black rook can give a check on f7 then it will be a discovered attack on the white queen and black will ultimately win the game
this lore goes hard as f***
3:48 what if the knight takes the bishop?
Episode 6: of the fisherman โคโคโค๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐
at 4:56, can't black just take the b pawn with the bishop? It stops the threat of dual promotion and also defends the c8 square so that white can't promote there
Please, someone, make a film about the adventures of Bobby Fisherman!
I'm proud of myself for finding the right moves lol
Please keep this series going! Looking forward to seeing what kind of trouble the fisherman gets himself into (and hopefully out of) next time.
The playlist is missing the first story, it has 2, 3 and 4 but one is unavailable for me.
The fishermen caught a stockfish.
5:00 you are wrong, becuze black can play rock to b6 check, and fork the king and kween, and get a drow
Came for the chess, stayed for the pirates story :o)
Nelson I think your wrong 5:00 when the pawn promotes to the queen we can put the rook on f7 and it's a discover check and black wins
I really like this "Story mode" in chess!
5:01 Why dont you just play rf7+?
Keep posting on, Nelson
It's nice to know pirates are so civilized that they play chess
Telling a story with a suspense as a puzzle is being solved really shows how creative you are in getting your viewers' attention. You always come up with something new and different from your regular videos. Thumbs up Nelson
This is phenomenal Nelson. Keep the stories coming!
5:01 is an loss for white since thereโs an check on lane 6 with an threat to the queen
Oh no! I thought the zugzwang with knight Vs rook was reciprocal and I missed the kg6 way to pass the move to hin
the puzzle islands is an actual location in canada, near vancouver island. there are also more puzzle islands near the antarctic peninsula.
Maybe I'm wrong, but if the rook takes the white pawn at b8 then that would put the white king in check and then the king would have to move farther away from its own pawn, and black captures the remaining pawn in a couple of moves. I'm surprised nobody caught this.
But in 5:01 have a discovered check with rf7 and black is winning
4:59 What stops black from playing Rf7+? Because regardless the next move would be Bxc8
