| General Chess Discussion - Level of play at 1800-1900#15 @oldrusty said in #1: > I must say, not to be a wet blanket, but the variation of chess skill at the 1800-1900 play is shocking. It's almost as if some AI is trying to compensate for the insanity of o… | mistro |
| General Chess Discussion - Lost against a player with bishop only#2 Think rules are that if you run out of time and there is still a possible legal checkmate for your opponent, then they win. Here, although you probably wouldn't have underpromoted to a knight or bisho… | mistro |
| General Chess Discussion - Whats the minimum rating difference to get one point?#3 I assume it just keeps a precise rating, and rounds it up when it displays. So, my rating might be 3999.49, which would display as 3999. If I beat someone rated 500, that might give me an extra 0.01, … | mistro |
| Game analysis - My Best game ever!#14 @Joshua_Kovac that's a really nice finish. Reminds me a little bit of the game where white does a similar thing to overload black's queen with the threat of a back rank mate: https://www.chessgames.co… | mistro |

| Game analysis - Best attacking game has 5 mistakes 5 innacuracies and 1 blunder how#3 You should analyse the game yourself! For example, early in the game you missed Rxf7. Can you see why this is a good move (because Bg7 is unprotected, as far as I can see). | mistro |
| General Chess Discussion - Puzzle time#1 In this position by T.B. Gorgiev, black is clearly a long way ahead in material. Does white have anything worth doing other than resigning...? 8/3p4/3p4/1p3p2/brp5/np5N/prkpKN2/nqb5 w - - 0 1 | mistro |
| Game analysis - Mate in 130 moves#9 Browser SF only finds a mate when it's down to the last 8 moves :p I think I erred somewhere as it's 128, not 130. I always loves these kinds of puzzles when I was little :) [Variant "From Position"] … | mistro |
