The knight is very powerful in the mid game, but i would rather have a rook for the end game. It can close off a whole file for the king or trap him in a single file while you use another piece to take pawns or give checks. The rook can also pin, while the knight cant.
Every Chess Piece Stand Pawn : Structure Stand Knight : Fork Stand BiShop : Colour Stand Rook : 7th Rank Stand Queen : Power Stand King : Run Stand All : Opening Stand
Knight is the only piece whose check can't be blocked by an piece. The king has to move or to capture the knight. And I think knight should of 5 points instead of 3
Black can just promote pawn to queen because pawn can just move to g7 and the rook can't kill because of h6 if rook checks need to sacrifice the knight so u will lose so if the rook doesn't notice its better to move the pawn in a defensive way
every piece has its benefits. Pawns for large defense chains as big numbers. Rook for camping open files and end-games. Knight for forks and supporting mates. Bishop for pins and early mates. Queen for easy mates and basically what a Rook and Bishop can do. King for supporting any pieces and stays away from other King.
Pawns and Knights are good at controlling key squares due to their relative low value. Rooks and Bishops are good at open files and diagonals, respectively. Bishops are good at taking advantage of a weak color complex from the opponent. If they are on the right color. Queens are rook+bishop and a powerful attacker. King is very useful in the endgame and can easily collect pawns.
Both have equal importance bcz in the start or middle game knight is the hell destroyer and rook can't move but at the end game knight can't do anything in front of rook. So every piece in the chess have their own importance according to timeeeee
I know that in most parts that the rook is powerful. And the rook and bishop has one thing in common, a sniper if the enemy is careless and also pinning. However, there's one thing that they cannot do that the knight can, fork and royal fork. Rook+bishop, rook+queen, rook+king, queen+king. Imagine its power being able to attack the two unit considered powerful, rook and bishop, by a knight. Especially if you are attacking queenside and suddenly kingside, or vice versa. Not to forget a royal fork. One of the examples, if the enemy does not know how to counter it, the fried liver attack. Forking king and rook protected my the bishop. And if you do it right, you can also take the queen with the same knight
Wouldn't rook d5 work just as good as rook e7? Knight can't move otherwise check, and the pawns can't move since somethings in their way, the only move is to move the king which they cant
If the night moves, H7 in the zugzwang , then if the rook takes, the pawn will take the rook and then they will be able to become a queen or smthn and hence knight wins
If the rook does not take the knight then you can push a pawn up, in which case the rook cannot take because it will be taken by the other pawn, and so you can then guarantee yourself a queen and secure an easy win
knight f3 was by no means the only move. If black moves either of the pawns, the rook is forced to either let let black promote or take the pawn, allowing the other pawn to take the rook and ALSO promote.
following your logic i can just pull up that one game where the dude checkmated with en passant and say "pawn is better than queen, bishop, rook, knight, other pawns"
But the knight is the only one who can get a queen out of a fork and if the board isn't close to being empty, he is useless while the knight is useful in both situations. The only other think the knight is useless is when he is the last one on the board because it can't checkmate with the king
@Chessscape The only advantage that the rook has is (like you just said) controlling more space and being able to checkmate if it's the last piece. If you get to the end of the board and choose what piece you want. You either choose the knight or the queen. Only the rook if the game is basically over.
@_animegirl_official_ yes but it’s more complex. Its a question of space. If the board has lots of open files, the rook is stronger because it can control more squares
How was the Nf7 move forced, knight could have easily return to b7. I have no doubt that rook is stronger than knight, but this cherry-picked example is not the reason.
@Chessscape yeah i used to blunder my queen in the first 20 moves lol but idk why in still 400 i beat my brother whos 900 i should be at least 1000 i guess i dont play much. But anyways thx

Every one is a gangster until the knight forks the king and queen
@ynor got em mixed up bro
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@KooTheObbiest indeed :D
@Mastereeli fps chess:
Wait until rook activates its skewer card
Knight = early game
Rook = endgame
@Slugintub2 bishop is an all rounder for me. You can play it in early to open enemy pieces, or in the mid to the late as your executor
Bishop= midgame
I actually started playing to entertain my brain and get better focus
Edit : Mom I'm famous
Most y funniest comment ever
nah
@Jayar Bangero bruh
@Jayar Bangero 💀💀💀
Just dont play bullet🙏😂
Everybody gangster until the Zugzwong
When a rook is in the corner with 0 activity and horse is forking like crazy.
The horse: you sure a rook better?
Also pawn: queen cloning machine with fork ability x8
while in mid game they're both useful in endgame the rook is the strongest piece besides the queen
The knight is very powerful in the mid game, but i would rather have a rook for the end game. It can close off a whole file for the king or trap him in a single file while you use another piece to take pawns or give checks. The rook can also pin, while the knight cant.
a rook without open files and stuck is playing v badly. Usually in endgames rooks are stronger cause more files open..
As a german I can give a rough translation of what "Zugzwang" means. It is roughly "the need to move"
As a German it's so funny when people try to pronounce Zugzwang. It's always like "soogswong".
@Chessscape Zug is tsoog and Zwang is tsv+a from "drama"+ng
@Chessscape it's Zug-Zwang, second Z is pronounced like the first one
tell me how to pronounce it properly plllsssss 🤣

@Alvin Sy the squares h7-g7-f7- up to a7
@Alvin Sy 7th rank is where rook op af if 7th rank white is 2nd rank black and if 7th rank black 2nd rank whiteo
What is 7th rank?
Chocolate Disco Stand for queen
Nigerundayo stand for king
Knight is the only piece whose check can't be blocked by an piece. The king has to move or to capture the knight. And I think knight should of 5 points instead of 3
Everybody gangsta until knight does the German fork
Black can just promote pawn to queen because pawn can just move to g7 and the rook can't kill because of h6 if rook checks need to sacrifice the knight so u will lose so if the rook doesn't notice its better to move the pawn in a defensive way
how is the pawn supposed to move backwards??
Before i found this video, ive just won a rook vs knight battle in chess. Well, i was up a pawn so yea
nice 👊🏻
all pieces r strong and effective if used correctly and all of them can be a pain in the
every piece has its benefits.
Pawns for large defense chains as big numbers.
Rook for camping open files and end-games.
Knight for forks and supporting mates.
Bishop for pins and early mates.
Queen for easy mates and basically what a Rook and Bishop can do.
King for supporting any pieces and stays away from other King.
Pawns and Knights are good at controlling key squares due to their relative low value.
Rooks and Bishops are good at open files and diagonals, respectively. Bishops are good at taking advantage of a weak color complex from the opponent. If they are on the right color.
Queens are rook+bishop and a powerful attacker.
King is very useful in the endgame and can easily collect pawns.
An active rook will always beat an active knight. An active knight can be stronger than a passive rook.
very true
Initiate Zugzwang: Rd5. No matter what move he makes, we can capture his king. And we win easily :D
That's a stalemate
knight in early game for forks and rook in late for obvious reasons
Everybody gangsta till rd5 1/2-1/2
You can move the knight above the pawn to keep knight secure
Wtf the black piece move down not up
well actually the rook has the power of friendship…
I mean, there are a lot of reasons and that's one of them.
The way people find these tactics is crazy, I could never think of this in an actual game lol
Both have equal importance bcz in the start or middle game knight is the hell destroyer and rook can't move but at the end game knight can't do anything in front of rook.
So every piece in the chess have their own importance according to timeeeee
nicely said
Move knight on to 7th file or move a pawn at all and you lose rook if you capture
You have the perfect accent to say zugzwang
Also a room is able to cut the king off and castle. Also it’s able to checkmate
true
me an intellectual: "cuz it's worth 2 points less"
Bro has checked mate by moving in 5 file
Because:
Knight = 3
Rook = 5
5>3
I know that in most parts that the rook is powerful. And the rook and bishop has one thing in common, a sniper if the enemy is careless and also pinning. However, there's one thing that they cannot do that the knight can, fork and royal fork. Rook+bishop, rook+queen, rook+king, queen+king. Imagine its power being able to attack the two unit considered powerful, rook and bishop, by a knight. Especially if you are attacking queenside and suddenly kingside, or vice versa. Not to forget a royal fork. One of the examples, if the enemy does not know how to counter it, the fried liver attack. Forking king and rook protected my the bishop. And if you do it right, you can also take the queen with the same knight
and rook can block a whole file
Hot take: Below 1000 elo the knight is the most powerful piece after the queen.
What if after rook e7 the paws moved?
but if the knight moves to a5, its stalemate if the rook takes, right?
wow this video is very interesting can you do same for knigth an bishop ?
Sugswang 🤣
when he said "Mission 1" and "Mission 2" all i could think of is the rocket daggers from go-on wings
When you say there is no way for moving pawn then the pawn H7 could move to H8 because if rook takes that pawn knight would kill him.
I Love when you say German words xD
Black needed to move the pawn on the right then capture rook 8f he tried to take it
Black can still make the game a draw by moving the knight back and forth
The rook is mostly good in endgames but most of the time the knight is better
Knighs can fork every piece(except itself)
Rooks can fork bishops pawns and knight
Knighs cannot pin/skewer
Rooks can pin/skewer
he sounds like bogdanoff when he says "activate, ze zugwang" XD
Or faster rook > knight because rook control more tiles and you can checkmate with rook+king when you can't with knight+king
Is that a draw game? When 2 pawns are together?
they are heading down the board so cannot move… yes king and these 2 pawns vs rook + king is winning for white
Wouldn't rook d5 work just as good as rook e7? Knight can't move otherwise check, and the pawns can't move since somethings in their way, the only move is to move the king which they cant
rook d5 creates a draw because black is stalemate
Is zugzwang a move where theres not a move that doesnt sabotahe u?
zugzwang is a move that leaves you with a forced bad move
What about pawn to G7?
ZUGZWANG!!!!!!!
If the night moves, H7 in the zugzwang , then if the rook takes, the pawn will take the rook and then they will be able to become a queen or smthn and hence knight wins
@B my bad
Blacks pawns are going down, not up in this puzzle
If the rook does not take the knight then you can push a pawn up, in which case the rook cannot take because it will be taken by the other pawn, and so you can then guarantee yourself a queen and secure an easy win
The knight can get a draw at worst
Bc two rooks are unstoppable and bc I love rooks
Umm why didn't he moved g6 pawn to g7 it would be safe to do so?
A Zugswong is when there is a forced bad move.
Zugzwang
Why do chess Clip-Sharers make every move a blunder or brilliant/great move? Best moves sound are more accurate.
Do you want to know why the rook is better than a horse?
Because rook = 5 points
and horse = 3 points
Dude it was checkmate in that knight fork
pawn can be pushed to g5
What if knight e5 attacking rook?
Rip knight
crazy zugzwang
Just me who sees rook b6 to b5 checkmate? If the black king goes down he gets attacked by the king or he gets attacked by the rook or am i drunk rn
the pawn just moves in front of it
knight f3 was by no means the only move. If black moves either of the pawns, the rook is forced to either let let black promote or take the pawn, allowing the other pawn to take the rook and ALSO promote.
pawns cant be pushed
ah yes, black pushes pawn and captures its own knight
The pawn on the right could push
Also you can't do a checkmate with only a knight but you can do that with only a rook
That's because it's the rooooooooooooook!!!!
E5 would’ve been a good move
Nvm
Cant the knight just go back where it started from d8 to b7
then rook d7 attacks the knight, now it forces the knight to go to the 5th rank and rook check wins the knight
following your logic i can just pull up that one game where the dude checkmated with en passant and say "pawn is better than queen, bishop, rook, knight, other pawns"
@Chessscape then you should mention this type of stuff, otherwise it gets confusing
in endgames, with files open and space, rooks are much stronger than knights. At the start of a chess game, the knight is doing well
Literally boxed like a fish
knight e6, rook takes. pawn h7. check. king h6. check. king g7. if rook takes pawn h7 it is lost. if it does not you promote to queen
Why didn't black move the pawn when it was defended by the knight so black can get an queen
black pawns go down
the knight can go 7H or 7F
the rook captures it
Can someone tell me why on the 4th move the knight didn't go to b7 and just draw by repetition?
rook d7
you go rb7 and the knight has moves
The teo blak pawns can promote to queens💀
But the knight is the only one who can get a queen out of a fork and if the board isn't close to being empty, he is useless while the knight is useful in both situations. The only other think the knight is useless is when he is the last one on the board because it can't checkmate with the king
@Chessscape The only advantage that the rook has is (like you just said) controlling more space and being able to checkmate if it's the last piece. If you get to the end of the board and choose what piece you want. You either choose the knight or the queen. Only the rook if the game is basically over.
@_animegirl_official_ yes but it’s more complex. Its a question of space. If the board has lots of open files, the rook is stronger because it can control more squares
@Chessscape Everything can. The knight is the only one which can get a queen out of a fork.
the rook can create forks as well
Knight is arguably stronger in a closed-center game.
In an endgame, if you have a rook or a bishop that knight is as good as dead.
He can go e5 instead of g5 what do you mean only move
the prawn can move
Knight>>>>>queen
I loss many games due to knight fork
But two pawns v a rook is winning
only if the 2 pawns are 2 squares from promotion
Just go for mate
Rook d5 is a draw i think its worth it cause black has more piece
@Chessscape nvm i didnt finish the video but knowing me i could have draw it by accident
white is winning by force here. Why do you want to draw? 😉
тем временем поле h7 🤔
Bro missed mate
which one? 😀
Rook=5 knight=3
How was the Nf7 move forced, knight could have easily return to b7. I have no doubt that rook is stronger than knight, but this cherry-picked example is not the reason.
after Nb7, Rook d7 wins because you are forced to put the knight on the 5th rank and i play rook check winning the knight
Which way are the black pawns going
down
Can u pls create a vid on why rooks better than bishop?
@Chessscape yeah i used to blunder my queen in the first 20 moves lol but idk why in still 400 i beat my brother whos 900 i should be at least 1000 i guess i dont play much. But anyways thx
@Kestler_on120fps anytime. Let me know if you have more video ideas/things you struggle the most with in chess 😉
@Chessscape ty cant believe u replied
sure 👍🏻
isnt Rb5 mate?
Me:Bcs Rook Is Worth 5 Points While Knight 3
Him:Watch This
Me:Nvm
bro wtf i literally just got 2 of these exact same videos one bellow other
Bruh 2 Times there was more than one legal move
hard to analyse all possible moves in 1 min 😀
Knight can fork
Why are rooks worth 5 and bishops/knights are 3?
rooks are stronger also because they can checkmate
Is this even a question lol. Rook can mate the king supported by his own king. 2 knights and a king can't even force checkmate
you are taking a very specific position
I was wondering why the heck are there 2 white kings
You are not win yet 2 pawn vs a rook it is hard for the rook
What happen if he moves to 7h
pawn to h7
