  1. Puzzle:
    1. Rd8+ Qxd8
    2. Qxc3+ Qd4+
    3. Qxd4#
    Edit: Autocorrect removed + sign from Qd4

  2. Puzzle :
    1) Rd8+ – Qxf8
    2) Qxc3+ – Qd4
    3) Qxd4#.

  3. Puzzle: 1. Rd8+ and if Qxd8, then Qxc3+ leads to checkmate – for example: Qf6, Qxf6#.

  4. Fischer fought against the dragon 🐲, and the dragon fought back. ⚔️
    But the dragon was not strong enough, and no longer was any place found on the board for him.

  5. I went in your house and stole your cookies around says:

    Really fun game!

  6. The player with the black peices plays like a total beginner

  7. 3:55 – you didn't explain what was wrong with taking white knight with either pawn or bishop???

  8. at the start of the video he sounded hype, but half way through he sounded tired.

  9. Once again, it's 'cat-ass-tro-fee'. 4 syllables, and the end of the word rhymes with 'tree'.

  10. That Puzzle was easy. 1. Rook d8+! QxR 2. QxB+ Qd4(Qf6) both not help. Next move#😋

  11. The Sicilian Dragon is a mine-field littered with traps, one false move and you had it!

  12. Puzzle: Rd8+

    1. If Qxd8, then Qxc3+ Qf6 Qxf6#

    2. If Kg7, then Rxc8 winning the queen.

  13. Puzzle solution:
    Rd8+ … Qxd8
    Qxc3+ … Qd4
    Qxd4#
