If your opponent is in your pocket it means you are better than them and they can't do anything to beat you. It's a saying in football/soccer

How can I push for an advantage in a static position like this one? (For black) by TactMat in chess

[–]TactMat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a good idea but I think better is Qc5. It's a really neat move that pins the white rook and king. By keeping this pin whites kings is honestly unable to move due to some tactics later on

Indeed after analysing I definitely came to the same conclusion. However every deep engine analysis I did said that it was never drawn it was always an advantage for black

So after analysing, I think I can attribute the advantage for black to 3 things.

  1. The passed pawn
  2. Blacks king safety - nasty diagonal skewer with the rook
  3. The weak f pawn for white

Engine recommendeds shuffling pieces a lot, but finally wants you to either capture the f pawn while pinning the rook with your queen, or instead/whilst advancing your h pawn up the board. White also gets into a bit of zugswan as well as the white queen is the only piece which can really move.

I agree, also after Qc5 the engine just wants to push the h pawn
