a 1200 rated player even less. 😀 Anyhow, let us not feed trolls, they are so banal. Here is another endgame I have a slight material advantage and accepted a draw, is this winnable or not?

Originally posted by BigDoggProblem One idea is Ke2 to watch f2, then bring your own B to f2. That shores up the g3 pawn. Trick is to do it without letting bK in on the Queenside.
yes this was my mistake, Kd4 i think was just a bad move, yet at the time it seemed so natural. I had the idea of blockading the pawns and getting my King to b6 but it gave my opponent time to organize a defense. I had seen the idea that he had formed but could not find a way to prevent it and carry out my idea at the same time.

Wow. Being 'good at endgames' does not equate to knowing one basic endgame principle.... Once again, nice strawman.

Do you ever just have a conversation, or are you always in 'debate club' in your mind?
Originally posted by iChopWoodForFree Stop trying to credit me with thoughts that I never had and words that I never typed and I will stop debating with you.
I have a better idea. I will continue saying what I want. Once I get tired of dealing with you, I will simply block your posts.
Originally posted by iChopWoodForFree Lol. Nice strawman... I never said that. This is a very basic ending we are talking about.
You most certainly implied it by referring to his rating and to the position.
A "very basic ending" does not mean that someone over a certain rating number should automatically know it. You were simply proceeding from an assumption that could be true, but is not automatically true, and others are not prepared to accept that assumption.
You are apparently surprised that he did not know this particular piece of endgame knowledge, based on his rating. Others are not, given what they know of players and ratings. I think that sums it up.
