  • At both 2:19 and 3:23 there's no need to play f5+ since Bf5 is mate right away in both positions. And at 4:50, why wouldn't black just play the simple ...Rc5 attacking the bishop? Why give up a whole rook?

  • @BobbyDigital1980 You are right about 2:19 and 3:23. At 4:50 Rc5 wouldn't make any difference, black gets mated anyway. Thanks for ur comments.

  • Awesome!

  • You forgot one point in the analyze; after white's g4, you played black's response Re5 like it was a "random" or any shelter square. But it had to be exactly Re5 for completing the puzzle.

    Or else, after white's g4, if black's rook plays to another square, let's say Rf1; White plays " Be6 " and now, even a shorter way to checkmate would be possible. Whatever black does, next move Bf7++ is not stopable. If even black plays f5.

    This was required to mention too, dude. Good work anyways.

  • The black King doesn't like this video!

  • @BobbyDigital1980

    Rc5 is still mate in 2

    Bd6 e5, Be7#

    Re5 was to prevent Be6, thus prolong the game, but ends in checkmate anyway

  • @DarkDeath1994 If after 1. Ne8 black plays 1....Rf2 ,2. Ng7+ ......Kg6,3. h5#

  • What if the rooks double up on the F file after white's first move?

  • tremendous

  • AMAZING
