In this game I underpromoted, because I wanted to check him, encourage him to give away his last rook and in the end, mate him(he and I might have been low on time as well).  This was the first game I've ever done it with a real chess purpose (not just because I was playing someone way worse than me).

Isn't that endgame the famous Saavedra study?

Avatar of bullllet

Exactly. I was playing someone, and I tumbled on this position. I was thinking hard.  Then I suddenly remembered a position like this, and played it. He lost. Yay.

I am very proud of this game. None of the coaches at my club managed to solve it. It was a hard game with her, and in the position, I was about to offer a draw, when I thought I saw a little line. I played it and managed to win. If any questions against the moves, please ask me.

What sort of coaches do you have at your club? Any reasonable Black move, e.g. 1...Kd7 wins without any trouble.

Check out some of Nakamura's games. One is against Crafty (computer), and the other one is against Rybka.
