    I am sometimes tempted to publish some of my games I find interesting but I usually give up. Anyway, I think the below endgame is worth attention. Plus I am going to show a way how to win a 2Bs + K vs K endgame. If you find it needless please believe me there are many players who struggle to do so and I hope you can still enjoy the endgame. If you are not sure you know this basic checkmate (easier than N+B vs K but more complicated than other ones, e.g. R+K vs K and Q+K vs K) I hope to give you a pattern you can use. My way is (usually) not the fastest but it is dead easy to understand and apply. Last but not least, I have found that the Chess.com computer used for analyses makes big mistakes (better or even the best moves are marked as a mistake/blunder and worse moves are said to be the best - e.g. moves 74 and 77) even while it is to deal with simple positions which I have reported already.

     

    You can see the full game in the diagram below but I will start on move 25 when I offered draw for the first time.

    it still baffles me that the computer analysis here sometimes marks some good moves as blunder or inaccuracy.

    Who's that idiot who plays until being checkmated?

    Cheers, Tom. Since I am aware the way I play to win these endgames isn`t usually the fastest one I wanted to see how many best moves I missed this time. I compared the analysis with an endgame tablebasis and was very surprised. I hope Chess.com does something about it soon for it is very bad for people who want to learn to be told white has a decisive advantage in the position below). Even if Black loses their pawn the game is a draw.

    Bruno I never name my opponents for I think it wouldn`t be polite. I know people can find the game in my Archive but I expect them to be too lazy to do so - it takes one to know one.

     

    And you are no *****. You were willing to resign but I wanted to finish a kinda rare endgame. Laughing I think you should have asked who is the ***** player who threw away a chance to get a draw. Laughing Well, it happens to all of us and we all have games we would like to remove from our archives. Wink
