Hi!

I've been playing a bunch of games on playchess.com servers. Over the past few weeks, I have been trying to improve my endgame skills, so I played a few training games where I traded down as fast as possible with the endgame in mind. In the following game, I think I got a decent advantage in the opening, but I threw it away in the endgame where some blunders lost me quite a few pawns. I would appreciate it if you could give me some suggestions.

Why did you resign? 37.Bc5 and you would have won, because the bishop on e7 is pinned. By the way I have had several lost positions but I have not resigned unless I was 100% my opponent was good enough to win.

LOL!! 37 moves a long game?? Are you kidding?

About the puzzle, I'd rather go for Bc5 because there is no other way that the black Rook or pawns respond for defend the black Bishop unless the Rook can make an easy check to your King.

You resigned already maybe in this following reasons:

1. The opponent's pawns has a stronger side than yours.

or

2. You are already confusing!!
