In this video, I show an instructive endgame puzzle where only one move wins. It takes some calculation, but the idea becomes clear the deeper you look in the position.

Good one. I was wondering how could this position be reached in a real game and didnt seem to find a way because when you think about it it must have been blacks move in the starting postition.
that was very interesting
Very instructive. Like this one very much. I'll show my students that when it comes to opposition again. Thx
Wait but what if black tries to take your pawns instead of trying to block?
I solved it intuitively because of the horizontal assymetry of the blockaded pawns, making me see the H file as the solution!
hi
What an endgame technique
This was such an interesting and unique puzzle thanks for explaining us 😀
The bishop sacrifice creates one extra move for white which is critical for the win. Very nice puzzle!
A while back I watched a pawn endgame video where the presenter said the A, C, F, and H files are basically draws and B, D, E, and G files are wins. I quickly realized you want to force the opposing King to the C file, allowing you access to the E file.
wow
Nice vid
1. Bc8 Ke8 2. Kc4 Kd8 3. Bb7 Ke8 4. Kb5 Kd8 5. Ka6 Ke8 6. Bc8 Kd8 7. Kb7 Ke8 8. Kxc7 Kf8 9. Kd7 Kg7 10. Kxe7 Kg6 11. c7 Kf5 12. Ba6 Ke4 13. c8=Q Ke3 14. Kf6 Kd2 15. e7 Ke1 16. e8=Q+ Kf2 17. Qh3 Kg1 18. Qe1#
or
1. Bc8 Kxc8 2. Ke4 Kd8 3. Kf5 Ke8 4. Kg6 Kf8 5. Kh7 Ke8 6. Kg7 Kd8 7. Kf7 Kc8 8. Kxe7 Kb8 9. Kd7 Ka7 10. Kxc7 Ka6 11. e7 Ka5 12. e8=Q Ka4 13. Qb8 Ka3 14. Qb1 Ka4 15. Qb2 Ka5 16. Qb3 Ka6 17. Qa4#
nice
So the description of "what if black goes to the b-file instead of chasing you" got dropped in favor of describing Opposition if white plays 2. Kd4??; but let's have a look at what happens if black tries to attack instead of defending.
1. Bc8! Kxc8 2. Ke4 Kb8
The chase is on.
3. Kf5 Ka7 4. Kg6 Kb6
Black will capture first…!
5. Kf7 Kxc6 6. Kxe7
And black can resign, as white's next moves (Kf7 -> e7 -> e8=Q) cannot be stopped.
Stockfish doesn’t want black to take bishop
Good one but in 1 min I solved it
6:57
there is another move
white king e4, black king b8
f5, a7
g6, b6
f7, c6
e7, d5
d7
then the white pawn will promote faster and win the game
I dont play chess but its really satisfying to see how these tricks work
I got it 😎
Boi used +1 sub. It’s supper effective!
Him in vid a wonderful puzzle him in thumbnail it's stalemate

This one was quite easy
Look at "Pawn Endings" by Averbakh and Maizelis. The chapter on "Corresponding Squares" is awesome.
