That kinda proved the point. You can look at a position, think one thing, but the reality is entirely different.

I fixed it. The kings were right next to each other which was an illegal position. in any case.

OK.  Anyway, it's a draw.  Regardless of whose move it is, move the king to the corner.  King plus rook pawn vs king is a draw.

Here's an interesting position that occurred in one of my games.  I offered my opponent a draw, which he declined.  He then pushed the pawn and captured my bishop only to find he could not promote the pawn.

when they don't know the drawing lines

Once I played a 10 minute game where it was a dead drawn endgame - all we could do was shuffle our king back and forth. I offered a draw, he declined, and moved his king back to try and "time me out" (I had about 30 seconds).

I won.

Time is a consideration tbf.

Yes, which probably motivated my opponent, but it was fairly easy to premove king takes pawn and promote.

where can i order a 1600 as bad as yours?

TheCalculatorKid

You should be able to play against 1600s with your rating tbh.

@snudoo when there's only 30 seconds left anything can happen.

If there's only 30 seconds left in a winning K+P endgame where the opponent doesn't have pawns... Yeah it's time to resign lol
