Game 3856591

Who do you think wins this game here? I think white should have won but you also have a say in this.

That's what I thought, if they pushed the pawn I would have resigned. Well, they didn't so 😀.

I'd love to know white's thought process in resigning that position. As mentioned, a4! should probably win, but even if he doesn't see that, axb4 should at least draw!

It can be stopped but in return the f pawn would make a home run

I don't think so.

A more interesting question might be, could black have won if he/she hadn't played b4?


In looking at and moving the pieces around a bit, I think yes.

Ke4 seems like the best repsonse.

I was looking at

Ke4 c4

Then if f5...Kg5


And if Kd4 or Ke3....h4.


I think on Kf2 h4

rechecked and you are right, I took the king over e6 🙁 so the long way round and a4 runs home

Yes...no problem...it is much harder to analyze someone else's game when you only look at it for a few minutes. I do it all of the time.
