Super check mates
Thank you. You are very helpful!
Rook to C1 pin the knight deliver the mate with knight
Use horse
Balestra mate
Rc1
Ka7chqmate
thank you for making this video ❤❤❤❤💕💕💕💕💕💕 very helpful thank you for making this video ❤❤❤❤💕💕💕💕💕💕 very helpful
8:35 Queen a8, the bishop blocks, queen takes the bishop, king can't attack bishop because of rook and checkmate
6:01 Ain't rook to g8 already a checkmate?
he forgot the ladder mate
Black burnes mate
1. Na7+ Nxa7
2. Rc1+ Nc6
3. Rxc6+ bxc6
4. Ba6#
sir in morphys mate after Rg7 Rg8 is a mate
Kna7 Kna7
Rc1 + Knc6
RxKnc6+ bxRc6
Ba6#
its 100% rook to a1 because we need our knight to a7 for a checkmate but the black's knight is there so we sacrifice the rook to remove the black knight then checkmate
32
up until now the only method i knew was the ladder one with rook
Blind swine mate
1.h1-a1
A1-a8
Rook a1 then rook a8 so black knight will come b8
Capture knight with rook b8 and it's checkmate is it true ?
Na7+ Nxa7 Rc1+ Nc6 Rxc6+ bxc6 Ba6#
Knight to a-7 is the checkmate
Na7+ it forces black to take the knight with Nxa7 and now it opens the c-file for the rook to deliver check with Rc1+ and now black cannot interpose his queen with Qc7 because Qxc7 is a mate so black has to interpose his knight with Nc6 then Rxc6+ then black is forced to take the rook with b-c6 and then Ba6 is a mate.
In 9 u can take rook back instead of asacrifice
Na7+, Nxa7 is forced, then Rc1+, Nc6, Rxc6+, if bxc6 , then Ba6#, or if Qc7, then Qxc7#
Na7+ Nxa7 Rc1+ Nc6 = Rxc6+ bxc6 Ba6#
Thanks a million for this video!
Thought I saw a shorter line for Morphy's mate, then realized a single pawn could foil my plans. Chess is hard.
Na7+
1.Na7+ Nxa7 2. Rc1+ Qc7 3.Qc7#
Ka7
N a7 check Nxa7 is forced
Rc1 check Nc6 blocks it
Rxc6 check bxc6
Ba6 check mate
helpful and with clarity… thanks.. I can actually understand and focus on this… Slow it down to .75 if yer slow like me
Knight to A7 , the puzzle answer
" THIS IS A 4 MOVE MATE"
White :Knight a1 check (+)
Black : Knight। capture(×) a1
White : Rook C1 check(+)
Black : Knight c6
White : Rook capture (×) c6 'Rook sacrifice
Black: Pawn capture (×) c6
White : Bishop a6 Checkmate (#)
Rc1 with na7#
I love the way how you teach the trap's and stunning checkmate's
knight to a7
knight to a7 delivers the check mate
Puzzle :
1. Na7+ Nxa7
2. Rc1+ Nc6
3. Rxc6+ bxc6
4. Ba6#
Beautiful video sir!, so much to learn and I really love the smothered/Suffocation mate!! especially the puzzle for the same!! Tq
kindly stop title on srceen
Knight to a7
4:37 Why can't the black Queen capture the White Bishop?
In 17 part ( Anderssen's mate) moving the rook to h5 is also a dangerous moove I think .
Please let me know
Knight to A7 it is a cool checkmate
Can you upload a video of a chess trick to checkmate your opponents if they moved cornered pawns
"Basic mating patterns" Say that to a person who doesn't know/play chess XD
14:12 Anime Otakus are laughing hard right now lol
Is nobody going to talk about how similar the Morphy's Mate and the Corner Mate is?
The puzzle can be checkmated using balestra mate pattern(Na6+,Nxa6,Rc1+,Nc6,RxNc6+,Bxc6,Ba6#
Which is YOUR Favourite Checkmate? Let me know!
