Sorry, but I don't see why your opponent resigned there. As far as I can see, he has you under a wee bit of pressure, but piece wise, you could both end up the same (you up a pawn, assuming you're black) after an exchange. I'm after a few, and I don't tend to play in this state cos I fail to see things, but could you point out exactly why this game is over?

Cheers,

D

I don't see how it's over either. After Nxe5 Bxb7 Rb8 it's only a pawn and position only mildly favours white. No reason to resign just yet.

Game 759079

The pawn line in the center in this game is just weird. I'm not sure I've seen it before. The conclusion of move nine leaves two sets of doubled pawns locked together in a row.

Black played a centre gambit, well that set the tone for this 14 move win.

Not sure either but he was pretty much gone at that point anyway.

It's the only response I like, but usually they transpose into KG and it all gets very messy ๐Ÿ™‚
