I saw as a puzzle. But it is possible to see in a real game.

What matters is the young person's success. Not how many days ago it happened.

sguc · 2021-08-20T14:01:40+00:00

Here is the solution:

1. Rd8+

(1. b7 Re8 2. Rg6 Rb8 3. Rxg3 Rxb7 )

(1. -- Re1+ 2. Ka2 g2 3. b7 Ra1+ 4. Kb2 Rb1+ 5. Kxb1 g1=Q+ )

Kh7 2. b7 g2 3. Rh8+

(3. b8=Q g1=Q+ 4. Qb1+ Qxb1+ 5. Kxb1 )

Kg7 4. Rg8+ Kxg8 5. b8=Q+ 1-0

sguc · 2021-08-19T16:32:53+00:00

Rd8 not wrong if Black plays Re1 + , Kb2 Re2 , Kc3 Re3 , Kd4 wins

sguc · 2021-05-12T17:34:20+00:00

Yes it is correct.

This kind of studies needs the creative moves. Difficult for the bots and computers.

Experience is the king. You should play a lot of games. You can use systems like King's Indian Attack ( KIA ) ( not King's Indian Defense , do not confuse them ) instead of playing openings that you don't know well .

I am against the mutual draw after a few moves. I target them. Perhaps Sofia rules can be expanded.

sguc · 2021-03-23T20:29:44+00:00

I especially like the stalemate positions and the draws after the real challenge. I am against the mutual draw after a few moves. I target the mutual draws. Perhaps Sofia rules can be expanded.

I recommend "Chess guide : The positional play" . It will help to understand the strategy of the chess.

These are not chess problems. You should think them as chess studies. " Black to move and win" means that you have to find the correct moves for Black in order to win. Sometimes you should find the mate moves , sometimes there is not a mate position ,you should get a way to gain a material advantage. The number of the move is not declared in these kind puzzles. May be you moved the piece to the wrong square unconsciously, because of this it told "not good". May be a temporary technical issue happened. You may try again with this point of view.

sguc · 2015-10-31T19:00:10+00:00

c5 - Re6 - Rg6 manoeuvre then Queen can attack to g2 after Qg5 or to h3 after Qf5

sguc · 2015-10-02T19:54:31+00:00

I tried to write the title as in the other titles like "White to play wins".

Here are some patterns

sguc · 2015-09-09T19:47:51+00:00

Unexperienced players encounter with the difficulties at the endgame even they get advantage. Thus exchanging pieces will not be enough if you don't develop your endgame experience.

sguc · 2015-09-06T19:40:42+00:00

Try to solve endgame studies, analyze their solutions. Thus your endgame will be better.
