Analyzed a recently completed game. It says Rh1 is a blunder.

Just my 2 cents, I don't think its a blunder but white should still be better. If he had played Ra3 instead of being greedy and taking the pawn, he would have been in a better position. All in all, mate is mate so good job. but if your opponent had seen it he would have been in a better position. his king and rook are in a good position to defend your passed pawns, while your rook is overworked trying to stop 2 passed pawns.

I didn't play it as a trap, this was my analysis:

 

 

Anyway, Ra3 would have allowed me to queen.

Wow facepalm moment for me, got the board direction mixed up. In that case you are clearly winning

Although looking at it now, that required me to be really accurate. I thought black could win a lot of different ways so it didn't matter.

So maybe being patient with 50...Ke5 was better after all. I didn't even consider it which is not a good thing.

No problem, I'm glad my post generated some analysis

Wait... that looks like your Pawn to be promo’d to be grabbed by opponent’s Rook, so, yeah that a bit blundered

but the point is, if he takes the pawn, he gets checkmated. He either has to defend against checkmate or allow the pawn to promote

Lol that’s what you get when jumping into a thread right quick 😂

....duulp.. my bad lmao

I was analysing it like this, but having it the other way around makes it much simpler

Sometimes these are hard to win, and white's king is so far away I feel like black should draw. For example instead of Kd5 just shuffle the rook, Ra1-c1-a1 etc.

What I sometimes do is finish v computer on level 10 to see whether a blunder in the endgame results in me drawing a match that I should have won or losing a match when I could have held on for a draw. The computer will not give you a second chance like a human would. I won when I played Rh1.

Avatar of llama44

Nice.

Sometimes the computers are tough in the endgame.

It is a blunder because they can capture the past pawn. It is bad to give away a past pawn for a regular one(even if you can’t promote it.)

My opponent did capture the passed pawn, but it didn't work out very well for him

The 900 played very well for a 900, he didn't hang anything really.

Considering you are 1043, I wouldnt say your opinion is accurate... 

Yeah and as someone at that rating, I can say that most games this level are usually lost by hanging pieces, and this 900 didn't really hang anything
