It´s insane that white can win this!

At first look I thought white should just resign here but it´s actually possible to win instead! How?

I solved it but I forgot to watch for the stalemate trap. Cool puzzle.
The Queen trapped in the corner is lovely. This is such a beautiful composition. Excellent commentary. You missed nothing.
Spoiler alert!
Nice, I was thinking about f6 before promoting but there was no time😊
Excellent as always... Thank you and God bless you
I had no idea that the Black Queen would be trapped at H8!
Amazing! :)
Love how the queen gets fenced in. Reminds me of the game with Stockfish vs Alpha Zero wher AZ fenced in Stockfish's queen with a rook guarded by a pawn.
Why can Black not move Queen to g5 (checkmate) at the 6:51 mark
The white king would just capture the queen. I guess you're thinking that the black queen is protected by the pawn, but it isn't, because black is playing down the board, not up the board.
Nice stuff
Beautiful
Quite a conundrum.
Exactly, the G6 is not a difficult start, it’s staring you in the face! I’m having trouble imagining a game that ends up in this board, is it just dreamed up or is there a game either for real or in theory that gives you this? But yes g6 then just play it nice and easy.
What if the queen trades for bishop after taking the queen instead of being trapped?
Then you have a completely dominated king and pawn endgame
What if, after both black and white had promoted to queens early on, black had player Qg1 instead?
I cover that also, after the main line. Starting from around 6:30 in the video
This definitely makes the game complicated since in this situation Kf6 and Kh7 lead to perpetual as white king is wide open but white probably win after Kh7 followed with later Qg7check and forced queen exchange. Perhaps the engine would tell.you more as this is pretty complicated
He explained that at the end, but the king can hide from further checks on the h file, while the white Queen will be threatening checkmate on Qe5 or other options.
@@Chess-strategy After 1. ... Qg1+ and 2. Kh5, surely 2. ...Qg5 is mate for black.
@@russellsharpe288Black pawns don't take backwards.
(@6:50) - after black plays 1 … Qg1+, and white responds with 2 Kh5, black can play the tricky 2 … Qg7!? If white moves the bishop 3 Bh7+??, he loses the queen 3 … Qxh8, and if he takes back, 3 Qxf7 Kxg7 and white can’t promote the pawn or black will take (4 f8=Q+ Kxf8). Instead, white plays 3 Qh6 Qxh6, 4 Kxh6 Ke7 and white still can’t promote the pawn, but he can play 5 f6+ and black is forced back 5 … Kf8 (5 … Kxf6??, 6 f8=Q+). After white moves 6 h3 or 6 Kg6, black is in zugzwang… or is he? The answer is yes. It looks like black could play 6 … d4 trying to set a stalemate trap, but 7 exd4 and black only has 7 d6 (7 … d5 does nothing; white can just push past), and 8 c6 seals black’s fate. Also, after 3 Qxg7 Kxg7, white still has the resource, 4 f6 forcing black’s king back to f8 4 … Kf8, 5 Kf6 or 5 Kxh4 and we get to basically the same position as in the above analysis after move 5 … Kf8.
"After white moves 6. h3 or 6. Kg6" (white can play also 6. Kxh4) 6. Kxh4 d4 7. c6 dxc6 8. e4 d3 9. e5 d2 10. e6 d1Q 11. e7# Or 6. h3 d4 7. c6 dxc6 8. exd4 c5 9. d5 c4 10. d6 c3 11. d7 c2 12. d8# Or 6. Kg6 h3 7. Bh7 d4 8. c6 dxc6 9. e4 d3 10. e5 d2 11. e6 d1Q 12. e7#
What’s your point?
After 3 .., Kxg7 white can play the simple Kxh4 and push the h pawn. Maybe this is not the fastest win, but the easiest one, because white can win this with a bishop and three pawns up easily without any complicated calculation, because black has no stalemate trap any more.
Even with shambolic positionality you’re rarely completely cooked if you have numerical advantage (in real-world chess as opposed to these artificial dreamed-up problems). In other words, with big numerical advantage how did you ever allow yourself to be this positionally shit-creeked! I know this isn’t orthodox but there you go!
Confusing explanation
