here's a game i played against a defense i never played against before I know what it's called (anti-Torre defense) but when Iwent to look it up I couldn't find anything on the defense so I'm posting this game to see if I at least have the right ideas about the opening in playing against so i don't get caught off guard by it in the future so far I've played against a bunch of weird defenses a few time's but this is a first.

 was the endgame winning though i though at that point that he could draw easy (I hate drawsSmile) ut in this situation it's better than losing.

You'd be up a piece for a pawn, winning another pawn is easy, and his king is totally exposed. It should be an easy win. I can't believe you looked at that variation and didn't take it.

 i never really studied endgames not much at allInnocent the only time i study it is for drawing losing games and because of this lack of study i go into winning endgames and end up draing sometimes i just thought that here but I totally  agree with you. i could have won it pretty easy my endgame phobeia got in the way again.Undecided
