Lol

I play like that too i like to let undefended pieces to pieces that have more value or for better attak

But they know your next move and you know their next move and so on

Same I saw that

I saw it too

Me too

same

You mean the drawing moves, I guess…..

What I'm wondering is whether a computer could [currently] solve it. Positions like this give us humans hope that computers won't take over everything.

@@christopherheckman7957 it is a T-7 position all setups with 7 or less pieces are solved. So a engine with tablebase will know it is a draw

@@leonator2322 Thanks. I didn't know what "state of the art" was.

For me the rule is whoever's turn it is, though if I can' figure out how they could possibly win, and think draw would be good in their position, the answer changes to draw.

Then Qc5 and black has mate in 4 because white can't stop both mate threat and has to sacrifice the Queen

Qf5+ Qxf5, d8Q Qc5. Qc5 forks two direct mate threats: Qa5# and Qb4#. White's best response here is to get the black bishop, disabling both direct mates. Qb6... would stop the mate threat temporarily, but black will then simply capture. After the black king captures the white queen back, it's king + queen vs king for black, which means white loses.

Black can block with the bishop to c3 as well. You have to move the king to a2, after which there is a checkmating attack with queen to e5, blocking all the possible checks.

After Black blocks there is another check on f5, and then only the queen could block so the black king has to move, not clear at all.

@@nonothik bishop c3 comes with check so white is just dead after a few more moves.

@@tobi439 Oh right of course, silly me!

​@@tobi439 Black is out of checks after K-a2. No matter what black does, white either plays Q-f5+ or f8(Q).

I don't think so. Don't have the board up right now but I wanna say if d8Q then Kc2 is winning for black

If Qb6 Qc4+, Ka3 Bc1+ and mate next move.

Great question as that actually occurs in the main variation of the original solution. The video does follow the main line but finishes just a bit early with the perpetual check. The original solution goes 7.Ka1 Qe5+ 8.Ka2 Qd5+ 9.Ka1 (demonstrating the perpetual and taking us to 8:33 in the video), but then it continues with 9...Kd3 as you indicated, to avert stalemate. The study ends with 10.Qb1+!, which tablebases confirm to be the only drawing move. It's pretty hard to understand, but apparently other moves like 10.Qa4/Qa3+? would lose to 10...Bc3+!

If bishop moves away at 8:00 then Queen to b3> King to c1 > Queen to b1 > King to d2 > Queen to b2 forces Queen trade and it's a draw. If bishop moves away at 8:15 then Queen to b1 > King to c3 > Queen to b2 > King to d3 > Queen to b3 forces a Queen trade or a stalemate. Correct if I missed something

Damn! There is actually a faster stalemate at 8:15 with Queen to c4 check

Qxf7 is the problem, and now its a Queen versus Rook endgame

Qb6 Qc4 Ka3 Bc1 Qb2 Bxb2 mate

White forces a draw with Qc4+.

C5 queen

Qc8 is a win for black after Bc3+. It's checkmate in 5.

Black responds with Qc4+, which leads to a mating sequence.

Bc3+

Then black Queen to c4 would be mate in 2

Because of Qb3#

@@Blackn3t oh

Qd5 check, Ka1, Qd1, Ka2, Qb1 checkmate.

nevermind theres queen to b1 for black ;-;

unfunny

After Qb6 -> QC4+, Ka3, Bc1,Qb2,Bb2#

Then it's a forced mate in 3: black Queen to c4, white King a3, black Bishop to c1, white Queen blocks at b2, black Bishop takes Queen at b2 - checkmate

d8=Q Qc4+ Ka3 Qb3# or d8=Q Qc4+ Qb4 Qxb4# Your suggestion provides black with checkmate in 2.

Qa3 Qd5+ Qb3 Qxb3+ Ka1 Qb2#

Mate in 4 in favour of black, starting with Kc2 with the idea of eventual Qb2 mate.

You don't have a good check though. If Qc8+, then Bc3+ counter check and it's mate in 5.

Qb6 Qc4+ Ka3 Bc1+ Qb2 Bxb2#

If Qb6? Qc4+, Ka3 Bc1+ and mate next move.

Bc3 protects against that and leads to a mate in a couple of moves.

Prepares a checkmate.

If black plays qd1,white plays qb2 with check and then exchange queens and ultimately it’s draw

At what point in the game?

Kc2 prepares a Qb2 mate at a later point

At what point in the game?

After Qb6 -> QC4+, Ka3, Bc1,Qb2,Bb2#

Then it's a forced mate in 3: black Queen to c4, white King a3, black Bishop to c1, white Queen blocks at b2, black Bishop takes Queen at b2 - checkmate

Black responds with Kc2, preparing a later checkmate with their queen.

Bc3+ protects. After that, it's a mate in a couple of moves.

At 8:36

Illegal move - white is checked.

Checkmate in 5. Black just prepares a later mate with queen by going Kc2.

d8=Q Qc4+ Ka3 Qb3# or d8=Q Qc4+ Qb4 Qxb4#
