i won this with black 
upbeat viper
watda
you ate all the pawns
actually doesn't seem so bad
eat h4 and push
and brrrrr
spark apex
eat h4 and push
I did not, in fact win h4
hallow gate
I did not, in fact win h4
did he blunder apiece
spark apex
hallow gate
or was it time
hallow gate
.
upbeat viper
I thought 2k4+ didn't suck that much
coordinating 2 pieces is too hard for a 2k4 ?
spark apex
find the problem with bd8
hallow gate
it shouldve won with white
spark apex
yup
I don't think he's much of a blitz player tbh
He's legitimately good at Rapid but bad under time pressure
hallow gate
yeah f4 from first position guarantees a win basically no?
upbeat viper
yeah f4 from first position guarantees a win basically no?
uuh
hallow gate
ra5 does nothing
spark apex
He has the right colored bishop
hallow gate
that pawn isnt the important part
spark apex
??? wtf are you on
spark apex
What way are the pawns moving
spark apex
Okay this is not a coordinate issue this is a skill issue
hallow gate
no legit its gonna be like a +6 position after ra5 rxa4 i guarantee
spark apex
I'm so confused by your analysis
upbeat viper
prob right tho'
hallow gate
legit f4 be5 and then run ur king down and u win that
upbeat viper
stabilizing the pos
spark apex
If I don't eliminate that pawn I'm dead lost because the White king can just anchor to it
upbeat viper
hmmm
spark apex
Only +1.7?
Probably winning with best play but it's not the easiest endgame to convert
upbeat viper
actually
spark apex
Did you misunderstand my notation or smth
upbeat viper
the king can arrive very fast to the kingside
hallow gate
ok so how r u gonna defend a4 if f3s hanging
spark apex
wdym I'm black
hallow gate
as white
spark apex
You don't?
upbeat viper
we are saying free win for white ye
hallow gate
yeah
spark apex
It's not even remotely a free win
upbeat viper
how come
spark apex
You have to play Ra5 otherwise Nb3 and white pushes a5
hallow gate
to the kingside
spark apex
The Black king is much faster
spark apex
It is not that easy
hallow gate
ok so ra5 kc2 rxa4 kd3
spark apex
Because if you move the Knight I might win h4
serene dragon
Hey
hallow gate
Because if you move the Knight I might win h4
i have bf6
spark apex
If I can place my rook on g4 and king and f5 I have a fortress
serene dragon
Is there anyone that can help me with this math question that I have
spark apex
Okay either you're completely misunderstanding me or I'm completely misunderstanding you but I can't comprehend this analysis at all
next thorn
Is there anyone that can help me with this math question that I have
imagine asking for math hw in a chess discord server
spark apex
I fail to understand how this is an easy win for white
It's White to move in the second screenshot ??
serene dragon
imagine asking for math hw in a chess discord server
it’s not homework, it’s just for fun
whatever it’s ok
next thorn
btw there's a math discord server
next thorn
so I'm still unsure about your suggestion @serene dragon
hallow gate
but yeah kc2 rxa4 kd3
serene dragon
nvm
hallow gate
white king will be faster towards the pawns guaranteed
because u had to have taken the a4 pawn
and u cant take the f4 pawn cause of be5
serene dragon
btw there's a math discord server
no one’s online to help in them
hallow gate
cause once he moves his king u can go bd4 and then go ke4 and ur king is already at the middle and its gg @spark apex
minor spoke
it’s not homework, it’s just for fun
Ok go
spark apex
no idea what you're waffling about
upbeat viper
give fen please
hallow gate
if u dont take the a4 pawn i go kb3 and defend
upbeat viper
wanna explore
hallow gate
if u take i go kd3 threatening bd4 ke4 and u cant stop my king getting there first
cause ur kings stuck on b8
spark apex
There's a lot of little tricks
You're contradicting your main point when you're giving all this long analysis to justify white's winning
spark apex
I said it's a win for White but not an easy win
hallow gate
my idea was just f4 and run ur king towards the kingside
spark apex
Realistically if you're in a situation where you have an hour on your clock it's going to be the easiest conversion of your life yeah
hallow gate
thats all ive jsutified
spark apex
There might even be situations where I somehow manage to reach a b+n v king endgame
It is definitely not the easiest endgame to convert under time pressure
upbeat viper
hmm
hallow gate
rh2 does nothing tho? rh2 bf6 and what
spark apex
The main line Rh2 doesn't work because I get forked by the bishop
blazing field
spark apex
rh2 does nothing tho? rh2 bf6 and what
You're talking as if we have arrived at the same exact position in our analysis
hallow gate
obviously its not the most easiest
spark apex
I'm talking about general ideas which don't make the win trivial
I mean I can't disagree that the endgame is winning of course
blazing field
spark apex
like okay even a position like this you need to convert
hallow gate
You're talking as if we have arrived at the same exact position in our analysis
ive reached this position after f4 ra5 kc2 rxa4 kd3
spark apex
yeah obviously bd4 is the critical line
i mean you found that with the engine, it's hard to defend after you make all the critical moves because it's objectively losing for black: don't understand what your point is
like okay after the engine gives you this idea it's obvious but not in a time situation in a real game
hallow gate
yeah obviously bd4 is the critical line
nah i actually got f4 and the kingside run before i enginged it
i said +6 it was only +3.71 after i engined
spark apex
If it's a tablebase win it's mate in n moves
Engine evaluations mean nothing, they're just restricted to the depth and strength of the engine
hallow gate
oh wait this is rapid
spark apex
yeah he had like 1 minute
hallow gate
ok yeah nah imma just resign here u win i thought this was a blitz game for a sec
hallow gate
confused why that would make a difference lol
like a minute its a 1/3 rd of ur time than a 1/10 th of ur time idk ud feel more pressured knowing uve spent like 9 min already than spending 2 min
spark apex
like a minute its a 1/3 rd of ur time than a 1/10 th of ur time idk ud feel more...
yeah for sure
blazing field
spark apex
I'm just saying the win isn't easy in general with the time situation
hallow gate
yeah for sure
so like maybe in that sense its easier to panic when u have a minute left
hallow gate
I'm just saying the win isn't easy in general with the time situation
yeah fair
spark apex
not finding f4 is one thing yeah
tbh I would probably swindle even after bd4
which how slow he is
hallow gate
yeah ig gj tho i really still cant see how he managed to lose there
i thought it wouldve been a draw at best
blazing field
i thought it wouldve been a draw at best
hallow gate

spark apex
yeah ig gj tho i really still cant see how he managed to lose there
