Well, not sure if I would've resigned so quickly but you definitely would've gotten a nice advantage. His queen can't go on the D file because of the rook behind the knight and you can get a nice trade for his queen. He can't move his queen to b8 because of the c7 pawn push which exposes the bishop to the rook and will lead to a bunch of different options for you to chose from. He also can't move to a7 due to Bxb6 and he has to move his queen again and you can pick off the rook and then the knight. So yes, it would've been very hard for your opponent to win that one.

I'd say yes! Well played my friend. EDIT weird I didn't see your post until after I posted my comment. We posted almost at the same time!

Ever think of looking at a player's rating graph before making yourself look foolish, Slappy? Bofaschwa has had a rating as high as 1550 in the past. Maybe he stopped playing for awhile and got timed out, or had to leave the site for awhile and resigned his games. In any case, you are quickly making a name for yourself as one of the most ignorant posters in this forum. Why don't you move out to the Debates forum; I'm sure you'll make plenty of friends out there.

Josh is right, your opponent has real problems, the advanced passed pawn is going to cause more and more trouble. Well played.

tis true, a pawn on that rank is worth a rook.
