  • And how does one push the king back?

  • So basically, in this position, black has no chance of winning (unless white is a noob).

  • at 2:42 after Ka6 , Qc8 is better which pins the rook and picks it up

  • Thanks very much for these tips. I'm a beginner and I just had a game on Chessmaster where I ended up with King+Queen while black had a King+Rook, I knew I had to have the upper hand here but just couldn't take advantage of it and ended up stalemating, neither of us lost pieces, the game drew because of repetition. I'll practice this more..! Thanks!

  • From the first starting position it's a mate in 10 for white to move or a mate in 7 for black to move, but black can always AVOID this starting position!  Stupid video...

  • 2:50 not mate in one or two moves but 1 ... Rc7+ 2 Kxc7 (2 Qxc7 is stalemate!)2 ... Ka5 3 ... Qb3 Ka6 then 4 Qb6 mate. So actually 3 moves! Good video.

  • at 2:50, after rb7, qa8#

  • That's interresting but how do we get the start position ? (at 0:0 )

  • sucks....

  • Boxing (or any other fighting art) = Triangle footwork

    Basketball = Triangle Defence

    Engineering = Trigonometry

    Chess = Triangulate
