lol

Happens all the time 🥱🥱

Wtf it didn’t do this when I first uploaded it, thanks for pointing out

I think because King can go g8 and defend the rook on f8.

Rg8 is a fine response among others

Unnecessarily hard, I miss when daily puzzles were mate in 1s 🗣️

Chess is pain 💔

Thank you bro, it’s exactly the type of game I normally try to avoid 😂

I forgor 💀

Honestly 😭😭 you can kinda see me do the same in the video very briefly, I forgot I was attacking the rook for a second and my first basic instinct was Rxd4, sometimes a cool draw is more enticing than mate I guess lol

@@Chess4Noobs-rl9cz Yeah I thought that's what you were responding to as well at first! There must have been something about the position that leant itself to forgetting the rook is attacked as your opponent obviously did the same thing. Very entertaining game anyway :)

@@-dizzoj- Thank you my friend, I'm glad you enjoyed

Rxd4 he can still go Qg2 and be up two pawns in an endgame

@@masta0952 Kind of, Qg2 Qxa3 and both pawns on b4 and f4 are hanging, so white would be up one pawn but most likely a draw

Unless it’s on a Monday, those ones really are easy

Rook g8

Good spot, both Ra8 and Rg8 work just fine

@@Chess4Noobs-rl9cz Ra8 removes an attacker from the white king. I believe it to be an inaccuracy

It ain’t easy sometimes 😭🙏

I didn’t check but same

😭

Excellent memory! I was not so successful today lmao

@@Chess4Noobs-rl9cz Thanks. Fair lmao. I don't get most of them first go tbf.

Cooked gothamchess style 💔

Such is chess unfortunately lol

Arena Grandmaster > natural sunlight

@@Chess4Noobs-rl9cz yes

So real

😭😭

Yeah that would’ve solved everything, oh well lol

Lmao

Good work bro

This was more a point that a low depth engine can be misleading, b4 may well be a blunder but it’s the best move on low depth, that can cause confusion

@@Chess4Noobs-rl9cz it is a blunder, how’s it misleading? It says winning for white and it is correct

Yeah I concede that there can be winning variations but it’s more to the point that the final position is over +2 but the table base refutes it, most people understand >+2 as winning but not in this case

No he's right it's a draw.

Cooked 😔 all the moves I played were best moves on my engine but low depth I suppose

@@Chess4Noobs-rl9cz it's +8.1 on depth 44, and +35 on depth 55, and +96 on depth 56. 1... Ke3 2. Rf1 Ke2 3. Rb1 f2 4. Ke7 f1=Q 5. Rxf1 Kxf1 6. Kxf7 Kg2 7. h4 Kh3 8. h5 Kg4 9. Kg7

Okay very intriguing, thank you for the insight I appreciate it

@@Chess4Noobs-rl9cz i think its because once the pawn is ready to promote the queen can check in so many different ways the repetition is really far away so it doesnt find a draw and since youre a queen up it gives you slight advantage by default

It’s hard to explain overall but I’d encourage plugging it into the engine, it’s fascinating

@@Chess4Noobs-rl9cz sometime i review a game which i won am like 1 move from being 1 move to checkmate (not mate in 2) and the engine still giving my opponent 80%. Its weird. I guess cos i’m only like 650 Elo on blitz.

Absolutely, it definitely highlights the importance of calculating all the way through to a conclusion, which we’re all guilty of not doing

Well said, Kevin James with waves!
