it's not easy to reach this position
Awesome
♥️
This is gold as far as I'm concerned. I've been looking for a way to play the defending side against kids for a while now. I'm still not ready but I'm a lot closer 👍
I did it the other way round! My (human) opponent resigned in a similar situation (Q+pawns v rook+pawns) and out of curiosity I set to finish the game v the computer and I couldn't win (even though it kept evaluating me as +60 or something like that)!! I then realized how devilishly difficult this ending is. Of course there is the whole question of how you get to your starting position … that also involves loads of tactics and colour ideas. Really tough ending I agree!!
2:40 Queen E6 is wining move dude
Thank you. In fact, it is simple once one incorporates the triangulation idea but one has to know/see that.
1:32 Qe6+
1:44 Qe6 would kill rook.
Wow
The rook is dead
Visualization of such endgame positions is always easy to understand. Thanks alot
Nice!
Expertly explained!! thanks
7:10, no, u can't move your rook to b7 or g2
is it just me or someone else feel bad for that rook?
Yo
It certainly isn't over till it's over , end games with just a few pieces are damn tricky if you don't know the formula.
Thanks Sir 🙂
Hardest part of this endgame is to force the rook and King into that philidor position
10:49 IN LAST VARIATION u don't need to zig zag ,when mjnd moves to G8 you can move quee. To d5 and after king goes yo corner you can queen h1 and once king moves you land fork on g1 😎
What if king goes to g8 at 9:29 ??
Younger Jerry sounds… well younger 😂
I've actually reached the weaker side in 4 otb tournament games. Lost 2, drew 2.
Today, I was playing chess online and Queen vs Rook really took place in the Endgame. But in the end, the game was drawn in a King vs King manner. I had Black pieces The King and the Rook, my opponent had White pieces The King and the Queen.
If i was in that position would probably be a stale mate in some way
Thank you for such a clear and candid lesson. I beat myself up about not getting a lot of this right but it is refreshing for a skilled chess player to be so open about how difficult such an endgame is. Thank you Chess Network!
2nd scenario white could’ve played e6 and forked the king and the rook. From there it would be easy to win
If the queen d7 the rook blocks and then give mate

sorry to say but this man makes me irritating. He talk a lot unnecessarily.
Yet another Queen versus Rook endgame video where they don't show you how to get to the starting position.
If you've watched this video more than once, congrats! You're an excellent subscriber.
Very, very nice analysis. First time I've ever been able to truly intuit this win.
What an awesome video
1.5x speed is perfect. Guy is speaking so slow I almost fell asleep
1:21 qe6 is a fork to king and rook
Very very wonderful video Boss. Really appreciated.
10:44 Play Qh5 check and queen g5 check and zig zag down to got the rook and if the king take opposition we can checkmate the king.
Very helpful video, thank you for your help. 🙂
awesome lesson thank you
"The rook is dead" Reminds me of Jeetedra Advani
What if at the time of triangulation after Qe4+ king goes to Kg8 instead of Kh8? then Qe8+ can be recovered by Kh7 again. Please tell what to do then
1:34 very logical move that king getting close to the other king.
Me: Queen to e6 check and you winning the rook.
In the “dont move the king” position i would do the fork
Dude, you're an excellent teacher!!!
I saw Giri resign to Carlson after this endgame was forced, so I guess at the highest levels they know how to force a win.
"let me show you what everyone else on youtube is showing you"
amazing!
