why even bother asking "who wins"… black hasn't won one of these "puzzles" since who knows when
New episode soon please
It is white to play and win… RIGHT?
I actually solved this one
10/10 lore
Loving this series so much
Nice map! Please can we explore the island and possibly make the chess puzzles 'fit' each location?
Big ask I know!!
5:01 you can go rook to f7 and win the queen and then win the game
5:01 black can give a f7 check with the rook and win the queen
Lol second fisherman did not see that when the rook takes the pawn it's check
I got all correct
Edit: this is a master puzzle level (2000+ elo)
Atleast the stakes were low this episode

Going back to the position of the c and b 7 pawns at 4:58, then if Rxb7, white is drawn due to c8=Q being prevented with Rb6+, which is a revealed attack on that very queen with the bishop. The queen's only move to force a draw is Qe6, blocking the check and making a draw.
Great series
Also I was messing around with the Syzygy tablebase and found this interesting checkmate with some zugzwang ideas

my guy could be like: There were three little piggies. There was a big bad wolf, who said, “I will only let the one of you who solves this chess puzzle live.”
That map… I'm either going to binge watch LOST again or play some Final Fantasy IV now.
Amazing how many people think that at 5:00 Black can win the queen with a discovered check, when the queen has already given mate.
These are so good omg 🙂
If there's a pirate in the story, you have to do a Pirate's VOICE! Arrgh!
Challeng : (spy chess) you have to push a pawn until you promot it to queen and gate check mate and you only can dilever the check mate with it. you can move your pieces to help your spy but without allerting his king with checks
5:00 after white got the queen black played rook F7.
Don't stop the story! I think it's a clever way to draw people into these puzzles.
You are doing a fine job, sir. Thank you.
How is a queen vs a rook and a bishop a win for white that should be a draw
we gotta make a board game based on this
I didn't mind the story in the first episode, actively disliked it for the next few, but god damn the dnd nerd in me loves me a good fantasy island map so I'm invested now
The story is very cool
Chess Gameplay vs Chess Lore
Best series of your channel
5:01 when white promotes to a queen you can check the white king with the rook which puts a discovered attack on the queen which puts black a rook and bishop up!
Yeah he must have been Bobby Fischer-man
I didn't really like the fact that the thumbnail showed part of the solution. I didn't pay much attention to it, but b7 was the first move that came to my mind. I didn't even notice the knight could be captured until further investigation.
The map is soooo nice
Nelson can I say to you after listening to your Spanish audio language channel you need a better translator, you have such great grammar and are so skilled at English, the person you have doing the voice in Spanish is not doing justice to you, may I recommend for you to ask around and see if I’m not the only one who thinks this, you chose a person with a regional Spanish and not a standard one, I love watching you and I hated the Spanish channel
I was 100% expecting the map to be an ad for dragon city or some terrible mobile game
LOVE THE STORY
This is the best series on the planet.😂 we all love you chess vibes, congrats on 300k❤
5:01 Cant rook just give a check and then black has a discovered attack on queen??
By now the fisherman is probably asking "wait a second, why you all asking me to solve chess puzzles instead of some practical problems? What is this place anyway?"
I love this series 🙂

Love all your awesome videos. 1:20.
To me, win for White. Pawns near the other end (to get Queen) to powerful it is, and black won’t be able to stop White from getting a Queen.
White win.
At 5:00 why not rook f7
The story is amazing!!
I'm waiting for the thing that gives the puzzle to not hold their side of the bargain
That map looks like it could be for an amusement park.
I'm sorry for the reference but i couldn't stand it:
0:18 – 0:20 "We just came from a whale"
And that's how they are "Whale-c*mm"ed
I love that Bobby Fischerman is his cannon name now
Its draw beacuse you can do check and discovered atack on queen and then we sacrifise the queen for rook
I love these stories. It makes the chess puzzles so much more interesting.
