Don't miss my brand new club either! 

Hey Jesse -  I learned a lot watching your analysis of the last round of games.  Here is game I recently played where I found myself in a familiar frustrating situation.   I will get down to the end game with both sides having a rook, a minor piece and three or four pawns.   I think I have the advantage --- putting pressure on my opponent's king with my rook and a couple of pawns.   I capture a couple of pawns while trying to promote one of my own when suddenly the tables turn  ---  we exchange rooks they promote a pawn and suddenly my king is being chased around the board while my pawns fall rapidly and I lose unless my opponent runs out of time.   Here I am playing white using Jobava London Opening.   I started playing again 6 months ago after a 30 year hiatus from playing in high school.  I am having a lot of fun especially being able to play people from around the world any time of the day.   My best game so far was a draw against a 2001 rated player (using the corn stalk defense no less) but that is for another day.   Here a good example of a common scenario.  As I did my analysis I compared my evaluation of the situation with the computer and discovered several moments where I thought I was winning that I was actually losing.  I was hoping to get some insight into how to read the board better to understand what I am missing.    Thank you -- I also hope we get a notice so we can see when your next show is going to be.

This game was played as a part of online ligue, 45+45 min. It was a long game (3 hours and 40 minutes in total), with I believe interesting endgame which started rather early in the game. I think you might find it interesting. I made some annotations when I analysed it afterwards. I played as black.

Hello everyone, Mr. Fast here! This is my second game posted for analysis (another 15+10 minute game). The beginning was not exactly stellar for me, however my opponent had his king in the center
for quite a long time and I managed to punish him for this with a double pawn sacrifice that opened up attacking lanes for me. Btw White's rating is 1433, while my rating (I am playing black) is 1514.

muito interessante

Good Games

simon, I play hockey and like hockey too!

thanks, @DarknightAttack!

hi

Bruh, stop spamming that game. Playing a 2750 is nothing to brag about, I play with 3600s all the time.

It’s not the fact I played a 2750, I just would like it to be analyzed, and have someone as strong as GM Krai look at and correct my thought process behind my moves. I don’t care if this game was played against a 400, 2000, 3600, whatever, it was a very interesting game imo, and even if it was against a 400, I would still put it up for analysis.

Have fun playing stockfish! (:

...and stop responding to literally every comment I make on any forum, it’s getting annoying. Thank you.
