the d pawn can no longer be protected (to prevent its capture) however 20.Rab1 protects the b pawn freeing the queen for the eventual Qd2 which wins back the d6 pawn, thus the pawns are in effect traded off. This is a tactical form of "protection".
Lol what a silly game ... Game 1993419
Has anyone been called an idiot half way through a game and advised that you should have " .. resigned ages ago ... any good player would have ... "
Anyway the 'expert' got beat even with a 3-Queen advantage!!
Dunno how it happened to be honest I was just wasting time ..
Still laughing though!!

That game makes me feel better about the times I've stalemated with a queen advantage.
I just played this one, except for my last move I think I was keeping the pace of the attack pretty well, although from a quick look I think 14... d5 would have been much stronger. [edit] I guess he blundered by not developing though.

Keeping in mind my ranking 😀
My opponent was ranked a little higher than I was during the game and apart from a few aimless moves by my queen early on I quite liked my effort from move 13 on - 13. ... Bc8xg4.
Although quite obvious, I guess, for higher ranked players, I really stormed his king's side once he'd castled (I had the pieces) ... this is t ...[text shortened]... cky move 13.
(not sure how to post a snapshot of the board - will look it up and try soon!)
I think I did ok.
I just finished this game and i'm really proud of it beacause i managed to get my opponent in a horrible position quite quickly with a new opening for me. So here is the game...what do you think about it?Game 2342862
i'm a begginers begginer . . . only been playing chess for a couple of weeks now, but my favorite game so far has been this one:
Game 2327915
now obviously my opponent didn't play particularly well and this game will not be impressive at all to chess players who are any good, but as a begginer i enjoyed seeing the successful application of some new ideas i had read about the day before in silman's book "the complete book of chess strategy." Instant improvement!

if white plays 13.Kg3 he avoids mate (although the a1 rook is hanging.
