Event Chess Game (gyrados06 - Bad_Dobby_Fischer)

it was g1, i was hoping you would castle or move your rook over

why unrated? is there even a rating? if we're going to rematch though, i want it to be rated

btw do you see weird stuff instead of the boards i posted?

they were strange before that

Martin0, can you mod our new game?

I can mod a new game. And yes, there are no event chess ratings and I have no plans to make any ratings at the moment either.

The endgame looks interesting to me and even though it looks looks drawish I would play on a bit as black. Black has both a more active king and a better minor piece (bishop vs knight) after all. The lines below show some ideas for black, although, I think white should complicate things by playing c3 at some point (to prevent Kb4). As long as black has his king on c5 it prevent white from playing cxd4, so black can hope to win the c3 pawn if he manages to attack it with another piece in addition to the d4-pawn. It is far from easy though and one downside with Kc5 is that the e6 pawn is no longer protected by the king.

Kd2 allows black to get his king to e4 and then black wins the f-pawn. If blacks king is standing on c5 and cannot go to e5 directly, then black might try to control the third rank with his rook first.

I also think white should hold (although I am not 100% sure), but there are room to go wrong.
