poor humpy, i'm happy because i knew the answer to the endgame :3

nice video, i always learn something new in your videos.

[ChessNetwork]

@Comosiem Good eye, and glad to know you've learned something new. :)

Of all of the chess analyzers I've seen on youtube, Jerry is by far the best. Keep up the good work!

I have to say Jerry and Kingscrusher have done a lot for the class level players in youtube...it would be cool to see a game between them two.

@ForteOmegaGX Np, Hou's continuation was cleaner of course though

[ForteOmegaGX]

@numbcore Oh sorry, I did not see that you said "Rg2+...Kh1". So I just thought Rg4+ and I was like uhhh I don't see the mate from there.

[numbcore]

@ForteOmegaGX The king cant go to f1, because in the variation I mentioned the last place its at is h1 and f1 will be covered by the other rook anyway :p

Oh i didnt know about that other comment.

[ForteOmegaGX]

@numbcore It may lead to mate, I don't see the mate after Rg4+... Kf1 The point is, the other person said that mocking Hou for being a woman because she took the route that takes 4 moves to mate when he said there is a way to mate in 3 with Nf2+ instead of Ng3+, and this variation does not lead to mate in 3. Hou played the right move.

[numbcore]

@ForteOmegaGX I was looking at this variation when I paused the video, I saw that if Nf2+..Kg1 ; Nh3+...gh3

Then there is Rg2+...Kh1 and then Rg4+ which would lead to mate I believe, white can only delay it by throwing some pieces in front of the bishop :D

[ForteOmegaGX]

@TheJareWolf

1. Nf2+...Kg1

If. 2Nh3+ then...gxh3 its not mate.

[btkw]

@Orthosonic i think he's just exaggerating

[TheJareWolf]

@ForteOmegaGX

Let me show you then..

1. Nf2+ ... Kg1

2. Nh3+ ... Kh1

3. Bxg2#

Jerry was playing out the game sequence..

@Orthosonic I thought he said Knights, either way its weird.
