      It's because he doesn't think it through quite long enough. I don't want to do too much backseat gaming, as it's obvious NL is learning and having fun either way. But his first opponent here wasn't very good. And NL _still_ goes for the queen trade way too quickly.

    41:18 I think the main reasons the computer doesn't like b3 is because, for one, it puts literally all of your pawns on light squares. Leaving them to maybe become targets for that light squared bishop. And the second reason is that it's the endgame. Your King's a fighting piece. It wants to be active too. So, it didn't activate your king and it created potential weaknesses.

    Ryan, I think your Elo would improve by studying a bit of endgame technique. You don't seem to have a firm intuition regarding maintaining the opposition, for example (a concept relevant to the point swing in the final position of the second game)… it's not a tricky technique to learn, but you'll lose a lot of endgames so long as your opponent knows a space/tempo controlling method you do not; particularly when material is low. Similarly, you'll end up winning a lot of closely contested matches in situations where you're aware of this technique and your opponent isn't.
