We are looking at a odd position but if we play it right as white it's winning. How?

  • It always takes me about 10 seconds to solve it. It always takes you about 5 seconds to point out my dumb mistake that would instantly result in black winning.

  • I've seen this puzzle before on a different channel. After a bit of thought I remembered the stalemate trap and the need to promote to a bishop. Very nice puzzle with the unusual ending.

  • Only saw it as far as getting our queen and decided that was job done. Didn't realise the stalemate issue.

  • i'm proud of having seen the move d5 and underpromotion immediately. Great puzzle!

  • I solved it, but didn't notice the need for an Underpromition until the game developed. Once we got that far I saw the stalemate trap and the need to get a bishop.

  • I guessed the first move but missed the simple d5, I went directly to take the rook and did not see the way to victory😶‍🌫️😏

  • To hard for me to solve but what a lovely puzzle! Would never see the promotion to a bishop from the starting position (only a 1800 player).

  • RC8 only move to take pawn to B7 he goes B8 with the king then we push the other pawn to d5 he is out of moves except Kc7 then we take the rook and promote to a rook cuz its a draw if we promote to a queen

    • Promoting to a rook is also a stalemate! You can only promote to a bishop.

      @Adam-pu6jg@Adam-pu6jg24 күн бұрын
  • Not often we underpromote to a bishop. And yes Sooo beautiful 😂

    • After d5 black will first play axb6 with discovered check and the next move he will take the rook on c6. Easy win for black after that.
