There is no way he manages to prmote that pawn. if i were you, i would do nxc4 and hes basically done. he would have absolutely no way of protecting the pawn on b5. You had a clear advantage. Good job!
Should he have resigned?
Sort:
Yes, after 52.Kb3 c4+, black will have a passed Queenside pawn and can move his King across to pass his King's rook pawn, so it is resignable if he didn't plan on 53.Kb2.
Its white to move scar-pov
That's why I gave a white move first.
Funny thing after c4+ Kb2 (instead of natural move Kc2) black can't capture the knight because fxg6 and he's too late.
c4+ Kb2 gxf5 probably forced, no idea what happens after. White looks ok but if he can't support either f pawn and I don't see how because black's king is on time, or capture black's h pawn and support it's h pawn it's a draw. So yeah..probably draw.
He didn't spot it, so he resigned.
52. Kb3 c4+ 53.Kb2 and now gxf5 is forced (c3+ 54.Kb3) after 54.Nxb4+ Kd6 55.gxf5 Ke5, the game is a draw
52...gxf5 is another possibilty now 53.gxf5 loses to c4+ so 53.Kb2 is better now : 53...fxg4 54.Nxe5+ Kd6 55.Nxg4 draws
53...Kd5 54.Nf4+ Ke4 55.gxf5 Kxf5 56.Nd3 Kg5 draws
imo it's a draw
Hello, I recently played an interesting chess game which reached an endgame in which my openent resigned, but I am not sure whether it was a losing position.
Comments on any part of the game are appreciated, but particularly the final position.
