Originally posted by GaranhunsGladiatorWhy exactly weren't you willing to trade the rooks and just win by promoting a pawn? It's such a slaughter that that hardly even qualifies as an endgame, it wouldn't take any knowledge to figure out how to win it. 🙂
was it? thats why i posted, i wanted some feedback..
That's not meant to be an insult, just something to think about next time before you accept draws in situations like these. You should notice that situations like this give you a chance to simplify and have an overwhelming advantage.
Originally posted by GaranhunsGladiatoryou were crushing him, the only vague threat he had was the advance of his three connected passed pawns. you should have exchanged rooks, then weakened and destroyed/blocked his pawns, then push your two connected passed pawns to victory.

with three pieces against his remaining one, you could've even stopped his pawns by saccin one or even two of them to stop the pawns, and he still wouldn't have had any chance to stop your pawns.
when winning, eliminate your opponent's possibilites. don't go for the flashy complicated win, instead simplify and take the points. remember the bond movies where the evil mastermind always gives bond the chance to escape by setting up needlessly complicated 'executions'? don't do that. no flashy stuff, don't give them any chance. stop him, block him, and put a bullet in him. no lasers or trapdoors with sharks or mutant trouts. not even if the trouts are very fierce.
I suggest you load the game into some engine and try to beat it, I think you'll find out it was an easy win, all you have to do is trade rooks bring your king closer to his pawns and start pushing your own. He can't stop your pawns with only a bishop, he can only sacrifice the bishop for one of the pawns and even if you lost both pawns for his bishop you could win all of his pawns and mate him with 2N and B,even if you don't know how to mate with that kind of material this is cc chess you had enough time to research it.You were in no danger of loosing, you had to blunder horribly even to allow him a draw.

I spotted the win before I played 50. Bxf5.
BTW it will be checkmate in a few moves from the final position.
Originally posted by XanthosNZnice move, i think i would have been a little more conservative
