I'm playing black, this is a Yahoo game. We're both low level players so I'm sure blunder city. I almost resigned! 🙂



I made a bonehead blunder and dropped my rook. Why he didn't capture my f-pawn in the end I have no idea, but I started getting hopeful when I got to push it once more.

Would 32... Nf4 have been better? I'm visualizing a potential mate by taking his h-pawn with my knight after he guards his g-pawn with his rook.

no he could just snap your knight off and have an easy win.

When I say "snap off" I mean free. 😉 I just didn't give the move because I figured you were going to see it yourself anyway.
