I'm playing black. I'm not out of time, I didn't concede. My opponent played QxB d7, and I lose? What happened?

I found the game in your archive and it says that you resigned.

Fascinating king hunt for black. Do not think it leads # tho as the white king escapes via black's queenside deep.

Will look into more in the morning....maybe. happy.png

White 26th move was a total blunder, you had opportunity to take  an overwhelming 7.50 pawns advantage all with only one move. But if i understand well, all other moves would have given white instead the  same kind of overwhelming advantage. Strange case of ''all or nothing'' So it's normal that not having found the right move you wanted to resign. frustrated.png

I have investigated the current state of affairs and have concluded that....uhh....nvm.

Anywayz, # can't be forced but a black Q + B + pawn majority vs white Q can be happily procured. After that ?....if ur opp is dumb & is obsessed w/ never say die ?....then in about 20 or 30 moves u'll garner a full point for ur gallant effort. And that said ?....u won't need2count sheep tonite.
