6- Full Solution!
1st – I will practice doing a tough chess problem for the first time live during the recording of this video doing the method step by step and showing you my thought process
2nd – I will put YOU to the test with another chess problem of which it will be your duty to solve this one step by step alongside me answering the steps as we go through

I forgot to mention a tip for finding Candidate Moves: Try looking for checks, captures and threats!
Can't wait for this epic video💯💯💯🔥
hi
Yoo
Personally I just click puzzles again if I don’t know how to do it and I never get them wrong 😭
Hey Zach
how are people commenting 1 day ago
What's the name of the puzzle book?
You made it harder
Really informative tips; I am curious what level this puzzle is! I am amazed how long it takes to solved a puzzle like this, if it were me, I would make so much blunders and my head’s gonna explode lol😂
Cause some of your post were 🔥and my 80's dreams are long dead I gave you like.
that's a great method, thank you! however, i wouldn't write down the steps or my calculations because it's forbidden to take notes during tournaments. also which book is that puzzle from?
qual o nome do livro?
14:09 Black is up a pawn, which you missed😅. I solved Nxf2 after some 3-4 minutes of thought but I calculated ng3+ wayy too much taking time. Fun video!
this video isn't make for someone who are 300 elo
Wht abt Ne2 after Bd3?
It took me several years to get to my current puzzle rating…wish there were videos out there like this one to help me earlier. Great video as always!
I'm over 1100 rated on puzzles and like 200 on blitz lol by looking for checks, captures and attacks
I saw the bishop move in like 15sec I'm actually pretty impressed, but I didn't really understand why it just came naturally, I just thought about cutting the bishop from the defense of back rank mate and then when I calculated the variations they all made sense too! Watching Andrew Tang daily really helped me calculate a lot faster!
What book is this from? Does not look like the woodpecker method
currently 2000 in puzzles, hopefully this will boost it!
Good video bro I really love it I learnt so much thanks ❤️
What book was that?
Hi what was that book?
zach can you make a reti gambit video please
Love your videos 🙏🏼. You’ve greatly improved my knowledge of the game
at 8:10 before taking the queen with the knight i think i calculated a variation that you maybe didn't see, before taking the queen you could go queen h4 and if they go g2 you just take the queen and keep the knight, if they go f1 queen takes h3 and if they go g1 you could take the queen with check and allows you to trade the knight for the bishop and queen vs rook is winning for black, if after h3 they go e1 you just take the queen and you took an extra pawn for nothing
(feel free to correct me if im wrong, im only 1000 rated so they might be a variation i didn't calculate)
This is awesome..a masterclass in puzzle solving. Great resource to have and practice. Thanks so much 👍
Make ur bed first
Bro i think you will look better with a beard
I am proud i found puzzle solutions
at 14:15, Black is up a pawn.
Surprisingly the puzzle given to us was much easier than the Caruana-Giri one lol. It’s all about reverse-engineering the entire process after seeing “ok if Re1 then white thinks Bf1 saves the day. Can I do something to prevent that from happening? Block the queen from defending the bishop? Hmm doesn’t work. What about stopping the bishop? An interesting line initially would be Re1 Bf1 and then Bd3?? Nah just Rxd3 and the rooks defend each other…wait a second, can I start with Bd3? Holy hell, I think that’s the answer, mate is threatened, the rooks are disconnected, yo we got em”
Nice Video!
W EDITING AND CLEARRRRR. normally for newer players, most of their puzzles will have checks or forks or skewers. U wanna look for checks at start
Rf5
Why was rf5 not a candidate move at 1700 min
The biggest problem with almost all chess puzzles is the fact that they are presented as a puzzle implying that there is a definite solution to it which is a trigger to start thinking out of the box. Sadly in real games thats not how it works. If we were to come across this setup in a real game you will almost always not find he mate in N sequence of moves. So a better way to present chess puzzles would be to batch them up in 3 or 4 puzzles and ensure that only one of them has a Mate in N sequence.
step no 7?? hahaha
