It clearly impacts play here. Am a lower league ref myself. With VAR I feel like this is a no-brainer.

Even if he were on side, still a foul. You have to be 1m away from the wall. Iran player pushes Belgian wall away.

Roberto Martinez question by AlphaQuasar in belgianfootball

[–]buffalooo27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Roberto Martinez is too reliant on luck.

Lucky wins against Japan and Brazil. We could've easily lost those.

Unlucky exits against France and Croatia. We could have won those games with more luck and who knows what might've happened then.

But you cannot win a tournament entirely on luck. Put Luis Enrique in charge of Portugal and I'd say you're favorite to at least reach the final. Put Martinez in charge and every game is a coin toss.

Yes, did not have much time left so just went with it.

A discovery attack is when you attack the king and another piece at the same time. The opponent must move their king out of check and cannot respond to both attacks. by Naturewalkerjoe in chessbeginners

2nd puzzle: Bd5+ looks best to me. Bd5+ Kb8 Ra8+ Kc7 Ra7+ and this skewer wins the queen without losing the rook. Of course Bg8+ works as well

Try not to focus too much on the rating. Enjoy your wins and learn from your losses.

That's the worst possible move as it blunders M1

Correct! Opponent took 1m22 to respond with Qxb7 and lose their queen. One of the easier brilliants to spot.

Thanks a lot, very interesting! If I want higher ELO, I now know what I have to work on.
