Thanks for your take, Petra.

In this game, I blundered a lot! But because of a lucky rook-sacrifice (my opponent had other options than taking my rook, but couldn't resist it), the game ended in a stalemate!

Hi rt25!  I saw that you accomplished a draw in this game after some repetitive moves with you bishop. Nice job!thumbup.png

Nice one.  They missed h6 and paid the price.  Hope you are holding up OK over there.

I got lucky in this game: I was playing with the black pieces and thought I was losing the game - but found the stalemate

Looks like you played a strong game. Seems like maybe white got too excited and lazy. Way to hang in there.

My last rapid game had a funny ending.

Do you see why white is winning?

No. Perhaps one of you would be so kind as to explain?

Avatar of Petra

white rook takes pawn, black takes rook and whites c-rook move to c8 and the black rooks moves back to e8, white takees black rook and then check mate

Maybe you can make a diagramme, schack_und_dame?

Lucky for me my opponent did not see the move and resigned.

I did not see it either during the game.
