Hi Nelson, I played an OTB game last monday where I enden up in a pawn/king end game. At the time my opponent offered a draw and I accepted as I couldnt see a win. At home I put the game into chess.com and the engine said I was winning with 5 points advantage. However no matter what I do I cannot seem to win, also other players looked at it…

Sure I would love to see it.
If you’ve input the game into chess.com you can play it against the computer. Play as your opponent and let Stockfish play your side and see how it goes about it.

thanks Keith! I never even thought about that, I did what you said and indeed it was a winning position, through zugzwang, I’ll see if i can share the position. I am not so sure how to do this, so it might take some time

HI all (and nelson with a question), maybe it is asked already, I havent read all posts. WIth regards to lesson 4.1 the first tactic you show around 2 minute mark, am I right to see a forced checkmate with bishop rather than sacraficising the bishop to recapture it eventually and winning a pawn. Here is my take on it. I am not familiar yet…
-
You are correct IF black takes the queen. But instead of that they can play Be6 and block the checkmate. However, that is still a great position for white and is another acceptable line. Hope that makes sense!

does anyone know how the estimated rating in chess.com works. I am currently aorund 650 (bit of a fall last week) yet most of my games (even the ones i lose) are rated by chess.com 800 upto even 1450. A lot of my opponents (same elo as mine or sometimes lower) are also around that level…. curious, thats all!
-
Yes, I see that rating for games is usually higher than your analysis review score. May be chess.com just to pump you up!

Lost 50 elo points since implementig

Didn’t try the stone wall since I really like the Vienna for white. but for black, the owens defense seems to be very solid and the bishop is super powerful.

How many games have you played? I lost my first two but then went on to win 4 in a row but as I posted earlier, I was only able to get the owens set up one time and then the other games I didn’t have a chance to get owens or stonewall going so had to rely just on basic chess principles. I’m around 560 Elo so I just think its more unpredictable.

Remko are you losing out of the opening or making mistakes later? Remember, the opening generally isn’t what causes the wins and losses most of the time. It’s probably a mistake later in the game, especially if you’re following the recommended ides from Module 3. Feel free to post a game and I might be able to help you more.

Remko if it helps, I often show an immediate dip when learning a new opening because I don’t have a good feel for it at first. If someone plays directly into the main line, then I’m like “this is awesome, I love it!” But then someone takes it down a sideline and I make mistakes.
Take a look at my profile below. When I start trying to learn a new…
