Chess World.net presents: New Tactical concept: "Mass Distraction"

FEN string which you can check with engine analysis with. Note this may not be a sound combination. But it worked in OTB chess:

  • Brilliant, but only human games can be brilliant.

    This line is refuted in cold engine fashion by Nd5 after b6 which forcefully deflates the situation: Qxc5 Qxc7 Qxc7 Nxc7 and its drawish

  • I have added the FEN string to the description of the video. This will allow people to engine check the combination. I am not sure if it is sound myself, but it just worked in OTB against an IM.

  • Yes you seem to be right. But as an OTB tactical idea where people have limited time, are emotional and can't calculate that well, it still is a viable concept to try and make use of. It seems Nd5 carries with it the implicaiton of Nf4 if Qe2, thus quickly ejecting the Black queen.

  • Is there a transcript of commentary for this video? I would like to read it because the narrator talks very fast.

  • Brilliant set of moves, but I wouldnt call it a new tactic. Its nothing more than an extrapolation than the queen taking the poisoned pawn, no?

  • Chess is a fantastic game. When seeing things like mass distraction in action chess really feels like a real war game with real tactics and strategy. Brilliant.

  • this is absolutely brilliant!

    I wonder whether it was all calculated or winged through.

    If it was calculated, oh my... haha

  • this seems great, but after h5 there must be a way to defend if white saw the mate threat. and then waht? i am just an average player, enjoyed the video very much, and the idea is brilliant, but i would have been curious to see what defensive move could have been played isntead of the blunder Qa1, to see how sound it was.

  • i found the mate!! of course, after he told us that first move. GO KINGSCRUSHER!!!

  • which tournament?!

    What an amazing concept!

    The checkmate setup is absolutely world class!

  • oh thts a good tactical play lol all 3 pieces sucked in ;ppp
