@ImShahinyan Was not able to solve quickly, but found 1. Ba5. If 1. ...h3 or 1. ...f6 then mate follows with Qb4++. If 1. ...e5, then 2. f6++. If 1. ... exd5 then 2. Bxf5++.

White mates in 2 How quickly can you solve this? 🤔

@alcidesrh @ImShahinyan black has Nd2 though - so it is too slow.

@ImShahinyan Qxc6 I solved it very quickly. However, the gratification derived from the effort was less intense than average. Your warning serves as an aid that prompts one to invert the logic of priorities—discarding the less obvious moves first—and that comes with a price to pay.

White mates in 2 Very difficult 😢

@ImShahinyan 1.Kf7 followed by 2.Bf6++ (blocking the check from the black Queen, if the Bishop moves) next move.

White mates in 2 Can you solve this in 2 minutes? ⏳

@ImShahinyan 1. Qf6. 2. Rf8++

Mate in 2. Nice one! ♔

@ImShahinyan 1.Qf3 to prepare mate with 2.Qe4++ next move while blocking the black king's exit paths. If black tries 1. ...f5, then mate follows with 2.Qc6++.

@WellBuiltStyle nah

It's time we make the short sleeve or cut off sweatshirt a thing again.

@EliS43026259 @ImShahinyan Actually, Qc6+ Bd7 Qd5 and c4 - as another already posted - and Black is good. So now think Be6 and Ra7 both work.

@EliS43026259 @ImShahinyan Because of Qc6+

Black to move! How do you evaluate the position?🤔

@ImShahinyan Qh4, followed by Qh1#next move.

@VanessaKade How consciousness emerges?

if you could ask for one piece of currently inaccessible knowledge from the Universe and it would tell you the answer, what would you want to know? (looking for meaningful things people are most curious about, not "next week's lotto numbers")

@EfferUhe @ImShahinyan if 1. ...c5 2. Qa2+ is too slow, BUT we have 2. Qd5#

@EfferUhe @ImShahinyan 1. ...c5 if 2. Qa2+, then ...c4 3. Qxc4++ But that is not a Mate in 2.

One of my favorite puzzles that I created! 😍 White mates in 2

@RedaElf28 @ImShahinyan 1. Ne6 ...dxe7 2. Rg7+ ...Kh8 3. Qxf8++ Too slow!

@ImShahinyan Ne6 If d7xe6 Rg7# If c6c5 Qxf8#

@JRamirezsilva @ImShahinyan You're right. 1. Ra6 bxa6 2. Qc6++ is only mate if we have another Rook on the 8th rank (not visible) that is pinning the black bishop :)

@Diboudo @ImShahinyan bxa6

White mates in 2 Easy peasy🧩

@padspoker Can you show EV/BB by hand for BTN range in that sim? Feel like ATo/AJo is marginal, where as say 87s a lot more profitable. Cheers.

The SIM for this hand is fascinating! 1) the button is supposed to cold call all in with super wide wide, 53s saying LETS GO. He’s risking 600k as by far the last stack and if wins vs the big stack he can 5x++ his stack 2) bb doesn’t like KK, he absolutely LOVES IT. TT is printing too. The idea is that the risk in icm is busting next, but for the button to beat us here is extremely unlikely and even if he does we can beat the big stack bully.

@padspoker No one mentioning BTN... Unique spot for 4bb short stack imho. Think getting involved here with AJo is burning money. But given the crazy amount of dead money, ICM overvaluing that stack size's worth: it's interesting to think about the range he can jam here.

When you’ve got kings 5 handed in an EPT but every single person before you has chosen to be aggressive!

@ImShahinyan Followed by Rh7+ and Nh6++

@ImShahinyan Qg7+

A beautiful tactic combination 😍 White to play and win!
