Won a piece, lost the endgame
Sort:
The pawns were too many. You should take away from this game that if you can sac for 2 passed pawns in the endgame, it is most of the time worth it
Ohhhh. Never mind. You could have drawn with just bringing your king to their pawns and with the bishop you can stop them and promote your pawns because the bishop can reach both sides and you have 4 compared to their 3 in the queenside
I won a piece in an endgame, forced a trade of all of the rooks, and thought that my bishop would be stronger than my opponent's extra pawns. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. If it was, I failed to convert my advantage
. I think I know where I went wrong, but I would like to know if my analysis is faulty. I would also like to know how I could have played the opening and middlegame better. This was an OTB game, 75 minutes with a 10 second delay. Time pressure was not a factor. My opponent is an older guy who (I think) is at his floor. I have not done the computer analysis. For all the supposed benefits of studying endgames, I have never seen this endgame in any book or video, so what's the use?
