when knight goes to e6 king could just capture it there??

[MightyGoldenBoy]

@jamestapiajt Because after Qe5+, Kf5 is forced. Then white can play g4+, Kxg4 is forced. After white plays Rg1 black can chose from 4 king moves, all of them are losing within a few moves. For example (Kf5, Rg5#) and similarly for Kh3, Kh4 and Kh5.

@Killerspiderpig i think this is a bad idea you can go check with the queen and the king has no good place to go

[VCha0900]

@Killerspiderpig it'll be guaranteed checkmate in 3-5 moves.

Kxe6,Qd5, Kf5, Pg4,Kxg4, Rg1 then checkmate wherever king moves.

can any one explain how the position in 4:55 is a winning position for white?

[origamijery]

@Killerspiderpig if the black capture the knight the queen can just go to

[shimnobiton]

@Killerspiderpig then queen to d5 = check mate...

[falcon1swag]

after llike the 2nd move wouldnt the black night take the white night?

[chessthisout]

Of course the "bubby trap" is fine, but my computer told me it's better to play 8.. d6 instead of Na5 which doesn't require any thinking actually because it's the Sicilian Dragon Bc4 Variation book's move.

[origamijery]

what if the black those not move the way you say it moves

[theptb13]

@Killerspiderpig White forces mate in a few moves after Qd5+.
