This is the 7-step method we will be using in this video to solve every chess problem that comes your way:
0- Pre-Existing Conditions to the Position
1- Main idea
2- Candidate Moves (Rapid Fire Brainstorm)
-filter until you find...
3- Find the Move
4- Calculate Main Variations
5- Find and Anticipate a Opponent's Resource
6- Full Solution!
1st - I will practice doing a tough chess problem for the first time live during the recording of this video doing the method step by step and showing you my thought process
2nd - I will put YOU to the test with another chess problem of which it will be your duty to solve this one step by step alongside me answering the steps as we go through
You can use this method for any chess problem difficulty, large or small. I feel like this long method is especially good for a difficult chess puzzle!

  • I saw the bishop move in like 15sec I'm actually pretty impressed, but I didn't really understand why it just came naturally, I just thought about cutting the bishop from the defense of back rank mate and then when I calculated the variations they all made sense too! Watching Andrew Tang daily really helped me calculate a lot faster!

  • On the last puzzle, if you move the pawn on h2 to h3 when the bishop goes to d3, you allow the bishop to take your bishop and take with the queen protecting the back rank checkmate

    @patrick24085@patrick240858 ай бұрын

  • at 8:10 before taking the queen with the knight i think i calculated a variation that you maybe didn't see, before taking the queen you could go queen h4 and if they go g2 you just take the queen and keep the knight, if they go f1 queen takes h3 and if they go g1 you could take the queen with check and allows you to trade the knight for the bishop and queen vs rook is winning for black, if after h3 they go e1 you just take the queen and you took an extra pawn for nothing (feel free to correct me if im wrong, im only 1000 rated so they might be a variation i didn't calculate)

  • The biggest problem with almost all chess puzzles is the fact that they are presented as a puzzle implying that there is a definite solution to it which is a trigger to start thinking out of the box. Sadly in real games thats not how it works. If we were to come across this setup in a real game you will almost always not find he mate in N sequence of moves. So a better way to present chess puzzles would be to batch them up in 3 or 4 puzzles and ensure that only one of them has a Mate in N sequence.

    @SGCric@SGCric11 ай бұрын

    • Real games also have another chess piece which is the clock/time pressure and the emotions etc like losing elo/gaining elo / blundering a piece /converting a winning position but low on time and so on.

  • Surprisingly the puzzle given to us was much easier than the Caruana-Giri one lol. It’s all about reverse-engineering the entire process after seeing “ok if Re1 then white thinks Bf1 saves the day. Can I do something to prevent that from happening? Block the queen from defending the bishop? Hmm doesn’t work. What about stopping the bishop? An interesting line initially would be Re1 Bf1 and then Bd3?? Nah just Rxd3 and the rooks defend each other…wait a second, can I start with Bd3? Holy hell, I think that’s the answer, mate is threatened, the rooks are disconnected, yo we got em”
