The position is called Philidor position. The team match is almost finished now https://www.chess.com/club/matches/nordic-live-group/1192346 So this is how the games should have been played: See the new challenges - they are all different from each otherhttps://www.chess.com/clubs/matches/nordic-live-group/open

I have the last few days studied endgames queen vs rook. I have played against computer (rated 3200) with queen - I have not yet achieved better result than a draw. If I lower the computer rating to 2000, I can win in a very short time. I have tried to let the computer play against itself (rating 3200) - the result has so far been a draw. Can it really be true that white can not win in a position like this https://www.chess.com/club/matches/nordic-live-group/1192694 if black only make the ultimate best move each time. What do the wise heads say?

Your first game start automatically and precisely at the announced start time, so it is very important that you are online after you have registered. You play two games in each live team match, and the second game starts automatically immediately after the first game is finished. You can earliest sign up for a live team match one hour before start of the live team match. Everyone can sign up for the live team match. When the two teams meet, the highest rated from one team plays against the highest rated from the other team, the second highest meet and the third highest meet and so on. You will automatically be matched up with an opponent, who has around your own rating, so it is not required that you have a high rating to participate - everybody is welcome, you just have to do your best! If we play more than one live team match on the same day. Remember to sign up for the next live team match, when you have finished playing your two games in the first live team match. It is not required that you participate in all live team matches on the same day. If the situation arise that Nordic live group has more players than there are on the opposing team, and you are among the players with the lowest rating, then you will not get a opponent in the live team match, but there is nothing to cry about, because you can follow all the other games after your own choice and guess their moves. It is good entertainment!
