@@cosmaraniax1672 it can move if u can block/kill the piece from the king

Wow

Yeah , by the way I knew the whole pattern in the beginning

hi sikky

It was made by a Russian grandmaster

it is actually possible to reach in a normal game

We need to send this to sikky

​@@bobczech7774possible in a contrived game, I would say

Somehow those white pawns got around the black ones without taking a single piece

its devil vortex saws

Yeah, promote it to queen and then use it as a bishop, so that if you need it to move like a rook, you can use that moves

@@AbdulSamad-jr6fi its to prevent stalemate

@@G00dN1ghT What is a stalemate?

@@AbdulSamad-jr6fi a stalemate is a scenario when it's the opponent's turn but they don't have a legal move, plus, their king isn't checked, so they can't move but they don't lose. It's a stalemate, a draw.

@@AbdulSamad-jr6fi it's a draw when somebody has no legal moves

A tosh deluxe reason

A devil reason

I found another way of beating it. You can move king to (from our perspective) h2. There, if the black king tries to attack, the white king will attack him and if he tries to run, the pawn will attack him.

@@balkan495 I have no idea in which puzzle the King can go to h2, but I think what you're saying is to move the king next to the other king. This is not allowed in chess, mainly because your king would get captured by the king. Even if you can capture the king back on the next move, that's second place, which isn't a great score in a game for two players.

Or rather, the puzzle you stole from Ernest Pogosyants, who published it in 1963.

@@nikitan7722 Get. Out. Of. My. Head.

Maybe the puzzle was hacked?

@@applejuices LMAO

It's actually a useful skill. In a tournament game that I played, I dropped some pieces, which took the air out of me. After a couple of moves, I realized that he had started ganging up on my king, but it was in a stalemate position. Then I got the stalemate idea and ended up drawing the game. I'd post a position from it, but the sacrifices turned out to be unsound; there was a way for his king to escape the checks without stalemating me.

I did that once and got stalemate. Sacrificed 3 pieces indeed

I hope you eventually reach one of these positions and these puzzle videos help

If you need another source of advice and help, gothomchess is another great youtuber! Not saying this guy is bad but if you just want some variety

@@tannerbenson7864 I watch him too bro 🗿

for the second puzzle I was looking at the line Kg5 as second move, followed by K x pawn on the forced ..Nf8 (to avoid promotion) and it feels like it can also win

The first problem reminded me of what is called the Devil Vortex Saws in GD. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the inspiration for the puzzle.

yea, that arrangement of pieces Is very beautiful... It reminds me of a random assortment of 54 saws above a level in a certain rhythm game 75% through it

Really cool puzzle, how much time did u spend on it?

@@MintBunHunter around 30 min to 1 hour

If I remember correctly, tosh delux hacked devil vortex

king to b8=win

king b8 is mate in 2, d6 pawn to d7 so you can't move back, then king goes to a8, and e4 bishop to b7 mate. if white decides a7 pawn to a8 promote to queen then black moves d7 pawn to d8 queen mate, if white promotes a7 pawn to a8 knight then it's mate in 3, b6 king to c6, a8 knight to c7, d7 pawn to d8 queen mate. unless im missing something, just about every move from b8 is mate. Could always check stockfish to make sure but white's only move is to solve the puzzle.

JoshDeluxe

Indeed!

brutal way to treat a knight

lichess ratings are far from accurate tbh

You wouldn't

Not physically possible unless black traded which would ruin the puzzle because it requires black to have every piece sadly.

@@dabestgrimmreaper4 it’s apparently possible according to a comment long game plan

shh, he dosent know

It is referencing a famous geometry dash meme

I don't understand what you mean. Do you mean at the end of the puzzle? Or by h2, do you mean a7?

@@himmelsdemon yeah I got confused, move it to a7

Bd4. Black’s knight is pinned. If black king moves anywhere but f8, it allows white’s promotion, so it must go to f8. Then bishop captures knight.

​@@chompyzilla bishop can't capture or it will be a stalemate

@@ashwinpayghan9076 it wont. The king has plenty of moves to make

@@ashwinpayghan9076 Black can't force stalemate there, I believe. After Bd4, black can go for Kf8. If Bxe5, the king is stalemated on top of the pawn. But If White goes Bc5 after Kf8 then Kg7 is forced, then just promote pawn into queen and congrats.

King takes A7?

Glad you enjoyed it!

It may actually be possible. The black pawns could have moved from their starting ranks. If the a rank pawn takes a piece on the b rank, it would allow white's pawn to pass, then black's b pawn takes a piece on a6 you get this sort of position, repeat for white's second pawn.

A queen versus two rooks and a knight is an unfavorable endgame (plus your pawns are on the same file, on a corner, and your king is stuck there, so even if material was even its probably better to draw)

aeon?

Yeah i also see that. Still think thats a way to win possibly, as the two rooks also arent checkmating you after that
