it was a basic mop-up job after black dropping the exchange, nothing a 1300 couldn't do. just exchange everything off and 1-0 remains.
I think it is much too early in the game to say any 1300 player can just exchange and clean up.
Obviously a long time since you were a 1300 player !

if you look at seadevil's moves, there's absolutely no tricks involved. he simply get's everything up and exchanges as fast as possible. he probably blitzed the moves, there's nothing to think about.
(it's been less than 3 years since I was 1300, I do remember it quite well.)
Originally posted by wormwoodThen you should have good re-call that not every 1300 player could call this an absolute win on move 10. In your case I am sure you were a very strong 1300 player, who would never let a won game like that get away from you. Congrats on jumping 600 Points in 3 years, 200 a year is better than many do.

On the other hand, in my case when I was 1300 + I most certainly could still lose a game in that situation ! There is still a whole lot of play left in the game.
Originally posted by Very Rustyoh, I could've lost that game just fine, it's not what I meant. -what I meant was that the moves are easy enough for a 1300 to find them without trouble.

Originally posted by wormwoodThanks I added that to my bookmarks. Years since I did any problem solving. Now if I can get my gameload down, probably something I should start doing again! 🙂
100,000 tactical problems is a lot of work, but it's well worth it.
