It say's now white wins easy... I didn't see how so i put this position in the chess computer to finish the game. Ive been playing with white for a hour how playing over and over and black beats me every time. And what the heck does 1...bc 2.bc mean??? this is not correct chess notation.

if black plays Ke5 then i suppose you play Kg5 and make a queen

Avatar of masterfowler

the doubled pawns on the black queenside is his main problem imo

bxc3 means a bishop captures a piece on c3... there is no bishop in this game...

Avatar of masterfowler

Bc3 means bishop captures...pieces are capital letters☺

 what does bxc3 mean?

 

Avatar of masterfowler

i agree its not the mainstrean notation but i prefer it to PK4 and B-QB4 notation lol

bxc3 means pawn on b captures pawn on c3

Avatar of masterfowler

bc just means that bxc

If you're losing that as white again and again for an hour, that's quite a remarkable achievment.

 well its always a draw... he just puts his black king in front of my pawn and its a stalemate everytime

youbare forgetting about your kings ability to run to the queenside now and create passed pawns there

Avatar of Darylprater

I think the lesson is flawed, this position is a draw, not a win for white

i tried that too, he runs his king over too, and his pieces are so close to the 1st rank that he always get a queen before me 

Avatar of masterfowler

the thing is...you have a kingside pawn majority...so if he tries to defend with his king you destroy his queenside with your king...if he tries for counterplay you queen and win

Avatar of masterfowler

impossible...there is no way he queens before you
