12:00 AM

should've moved that rook man

Nd4 was where I lost the game

Pimgd

I know what I wanted with that pawn;

Bernard Meurer

A queen?

Pimgd

no, a single pawn and tying up your rook

the whole point was to pin the rook else I get a queen, and then go prod things with other pieces

except I have a light bishop

so... yeahhhhhhhh

I dunno lol

after 26. Nd4 not all is lost, though

26 ... h5

and then not Ke1 (why)

but Nf4

then I'd counter with Bg4

at which point you're free to use the rook to murder the fk out of that pawn

maybe I'll back it up with my rook, but then it's stable

so Rh1

Bernard Meurer

I'd let your pawn that mine and retaliate with the rook and force a rook exchange with that king

Pimgd

I saw that but it didn't work =)

Bernard Meurer

12:06 AM

I dun goofed on that pointless knight move and most importantly on that pawn exchange

Pimgd

so after Rh1 I can I force the issue with Bxf3+ but gxf3 as reply and

then you've got pawns that make structures and mine don't

you'd get a balanced endgame, I think

Bernard Meurer

I think I could've won had I moved my rook forward instead of Nd4 back then

or at least make you have a heart attack before the game was over

which is technically a win I guess

Pimgd

... lawl

what move precisely?

Bernard Meurer

26.Nd4

Pimgd

26. Ra5?

Bernard Meurer

12:09 AM

Yep

Pimgd

... Bb5

oh snap

then 27. Nd4

and I'm forced back

or....

27 ... h5

Bernard Meurer

uhum, Ra5 was a solid move

Pimgd

28. Nxb5

and I'm down a bishop

retaliating leads to my two rooks getting rekt

also interesting endgame

so yeah, plenty of ways out of that one

you play 27. Ke1

are we fucked yet

well h4 says hello because nothing is more fun than promotions

then you put g3

and then what?

because if I hit it, you hit back

if I walk past, you move the rook to Rh1

then 29... Rg4

and you're down a pawn

because if you try to trade then I give check and get to take rook via discovered attack

and if you move it it gets murdered

don't really know how that line would go, but I think you end up just 1 point behind

maybe I harass you off h1 with the light bishop after that

probably, because there's nothing to block that

I think I eventually get a queen and trade a rook for the queen

but by then the damage is done

I win, but it takes a while.

except he plays 28. Kf1

are you fucked now?

h3, because promotions...

well, if you hit it, then you lose (=D)

Bernard Meurer

Dunno

Well

Pimgd

yes you do

gxh3, Bxh3+

Bernard Meurer

12:22 AM

this was an awesome game :D

Pimgd

then either block off with rook which is sacrificed

or move king and ...

well, it has to be Ke2, because Ke1 = woo, 10 points for free

Bernard Meurer

I have to go eat something

Pimgd

why did you resign

Bernard Meurer

Because it was a clear win for you

I'd circle jerk until you hit a mate position

Pimgd

but Ke2

there is no reply

Bernard Meurer

12:25 AM

your rook takes mine

Pimgd

and vice versa

I'm not even sure why I was shouting "REKT"

=D it was obviously wrong

Bernard Meurer

I totally forgot about that other rook!

I just thought "well now I'm done"

My fuckup :p

Pimgd

it was a really clever march that led to ... nothing

Bernard Meurer

Are you up for another one tomorrow? I'm kind of in a ruch now :p

Pimgd

maybe, maybe not

depends on how I'm feeling

Bernard Meurer

12:28 AM

Alrighty

I'll be off now, good game, go do whatever europeans do at night

Pimgd

after Ke2 I have to take your rook

after that I don't know

lets ask a chess engineeee

it says black does 31. ... Rc8

Pimgd

12:45 AM

then 32. Kd2

... Rc5

Pimgd

1:20 AM

33. Rb1 Bc8 34. f4 Ra5 35. Rb6 Kd7 36. Rb1 Kc7 37. Rg1 f5 38. Rg7+ Kb6

and stuck on 3 move repetition

via 39. Rg8 Kc7 and then back to turn 38

taking the 2nd suggestion instead:

39. exf5 Bxf5

and stuck on 44. Re7 Bg4 45. Rf7 Bh3 46. Rg7 Bf5 47. Re7 Bg4 48. Rf7 Bh3 49. Rg7 Bf5 50. Re7 Bg4 51. Rf7

an infinite loop.

it's a draw, eventually.

9 hours later…

Pimgd

10:28 AM

@BernardMeurer So next time, don't resign when I say "I've won!" because I might screw up =D

Q: How to handle resignations from unlost positions when learning?

I played a game against bemeurer, a friend of mine who's learning chess. He's only got me to play against but he's learning quite quick. Of the 8 games we played so far, I won all of them. Most quite easy, but this last one was a tough fight. We play on Chess.com, which has a chatbox. [fen "...
