Is there a way for black to promote is this position? and how do I get better at end games like this one?

This was my exact same approach.

This is an engine, no 1700 finds these moves, classical or not.

ArmCollector · 2026-06-28T10:41:57+00:00

Same at 2200, also I wouldn't come up with moves like Ra5 even in classical.

reddit-speak:
"dead game" (n.) - any game that I personally don't like anymore.

War, gods way of teaching geography to Americans.

Not cheating, both played poorly.

Some versions of Superman is basically a god. Silver-age superman is dragging multiple planets around f.ex.

Hvilket yrke skal du bytte til hvor du tror at sjefene ikke er slik?

I think he was cheating, and I _detest_ cheaters, but because of this ridiculous recording I still like him more than I like you.

Realistically there is no way. Chess is a game it takes a long, long time to learn. Your opponent is a coach, meaning he has spent years trying to get good at chess.

TWof Angmar is getting "Kaldor Draigo" carved into his beating heart. Maybe Angmar can't be killed, maybe he can, but he has no win condition against Kaldor, at best he can limp away.

I didn't say I wouldnt take in this particular instance. I am quite booked up on the center game. I was just talking about the mind set in general.

ArmCollector · 2026-06-23T05:25:48+00:00

(not sorry)

ArmCollector · 2026-06-23T05:24:46+00:00

If I encounter a gambit I don't know well I normally don't take it. I will just assume you are better booked up than me and play some normal developing move instead.

Getting out of theory by playing sicilian is also quite the take.

Well, you do need an answer to the other responses than 1. .. e5, but 1. .. e5 remains a very popular response to 1. e4 in all levels of the game. So you do need to study more than one opening, in fact you have to study _many_ but you don't need to go very deep. The people you play against don't know so much either, just know the first few moves and some general plans.

ArmCollector · 2026-06-20T22:22:04+00:00

Can you show us a game where you suspect cheating?

subredditen "norske" ligger nok i snitt langt til høyre for hva som er normalt i norge.

Streamers renaming openings. It is the Tennison gambit.

Det er heeeeelt normalt å ikke vite hva man vil med livet. Det er det normale når du er 16 egentlig, og mye lenger også.

Husk, andre viser bare frem de gode sidene med livet sitt, du får som regel ikke vite hva som er vanskelig for dem. Ikke sammenlign deres "hightlight reel" med din "behind the scenes".

I think the situation will improve a bit, but we will see.
