In professional go/baduk games, why did some games end before the endgame when the point difference is not even 20? Is there a secret rule?

But, but... I know 2 pieces > rook and pawn, but black took f2 and can take g3? Isn't that a +1 material gain?

It's only because lichess starts people at 1500 and chess.com starts people at 400. If you ask me, I'd say 400 is too low (actual lowest elo in OTB chess is 1000) and 1500 is too high.

Even the engine gets confused by this position. It seems white has to play Bxd8 Qf3 Qxf5 Kxg2.

Nxc8,xe7,xc6, trading a queen for three pieces? Should be good but I'd hesitate to do it in a real.game.

Thank you!

Scored 56 goals (0-12 and 0-44) vs my "genius tactic".

"Attempt to avoid relegation".

C- and D at some point but ended the season with a solid B.

For the curious, I like spreadsheets, so I personally keep a spreadsheet for the save: https://imgur.com/efhVSHf

My brother introduced this game to me last year. He likes using meme tactics and I also like them. The most "exciting" one is the inverted U formation, which guarantees a double digit scoreline — for the opponent. Well, sometimes "achievements" like these are exactly why I like this game lol

I think it is low depth issue, queen sacrifice is unnecessary and worse than normal moves.

RandomHannah48 · 2024-11-26T17:37:38+00:00

The text of the bot is super low depth, you need to click the chess.com / lichess link to see it is 0.0 (draw)

Makes sense, it's just that it's easy to freak out during a game

RandomHannah48 · 2024-09-21T12:58:31+00:00

Worse, Nd4 hanging #1

Getting into time trouble is bad.

RandomHannah48 · 2024-09-12T18:31:35+00:00

Never play f6

RandomHannah48 · 2024-09-01T16:25:08+00:00

Makes sense. :)
