Chess 🤔

What if, in chess, the queen were the king and the king were the queen — and they still moved according to the regular chess rules? Only this time, it’s the man who protects the woman.Переведи на / рус: А что, если бы в шахматах королева была бы королем, а король королевой. И чтобы так и ходили... read more

Blundered checkmate in 4 moves

I failed this puzzle because I thought the queen sacrifice was too good to be true. But i should've realised queen sacrifice was indeed the way because f8 f7 escape squares hinder checkmate. But queen sacrifice is not the only gambit, the pawn promotion is also being sacrificed too. Furthermore, i... read more

Chess teaches patience.

Sometimes the best move is to wait -> in chess and in life. (what lesson has chess taught you?)

Don't blunder

This puzzle is great because d7 e8 are controlled, e6 defends RxBf7, but Be7 is pinned so NxRf8 is free. However, blocking Rd1+ with Bd7 frees Kc8 escape, so a juicy juicer sacrifice will tempt a blunder. After BxBe7, Kc8 is still available, then exBd7+ (not RxBd7) forces Kb8, p=Qd8+ RxQd8,... read more

Calculation is more important than pattern recognition

Truly intelligent people calculate, and transfer calculation talent to any circumstance in any field. Transferability of calculation, deduction, and comprehension is far more valuable and noble than rote learning by repetition and experience

I am very good at chess, i met this one person who told me that he knew how to play chess, but really i knew that he did not know how to play chess, but while on the board he beat to it, how did this happen, and truly he never knew how to play?

Mate in 2 puzzles are a great way to practice calculation, especially finding candidate moves. Here is one of my favorite mate in 2 puzzles.

What is more satisfying: winning chess by checkmate or by confusing your opponent?

Earlier today, I was playing GNOME Chess with my opponent played by GNU Chess and I unexpectedly got this message. It made me ponder: which is more satisfying: winning by checkmate or winning by confusing your opponent. I'm not entirely sure which is more satisfying, but there is a nice appeal to... read more

Trial and error

Today's chess puzzle is good because you can't c3 Qb5, Qb4 in time. Rh4+ is easily blocked by d4 or e4. So only Kd2 creates the opportunity in time for Ra1#

Headache so I blundered

Fixating your candidates maybe a sign of laziness, yes your more powerful pieces are more effective; but avoid eliminating weaker pieces as candidate moves, otherwise you only can blunder. Consider calculating with other pieces. Fair enough I have a headache and ruined my streak by blundering under... read more
