Black is just clearly better and in no danger.<br /> The point is that running a program/team like this is exhausting and difficult so that is likely the reason she cried, not because of some rook endgame.<br /> Also, the fact that she is a woman ( just kidding heh!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8556305125957341024.post-61359371225571374272011-05-03T16:05:29.998-04:002011-05-03T16:05:29.998-04:00Yo anonymous genius, he's like an 8th grader r...Yo anonymous genius, he's like an 8th grader rated 2000 in a relatively fast time control playing a 60 move game at the end of a tournament. Wtf do you expect, should all the moves match Rybka? It's a given that basically all games with kids are going to have a bunch of mistakes at some point, the question is how well will they fight and how much composure will they have at the end of the game. <br /><br /> The kid played a very nice endgame for such an inexperienced player. <br /><br />- Greg ShahadeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8556305125957341024.post-90374625560576781772011-05-03T16:02:23.292-04:002011-05-03T16:02:23.292-04:00After your suggestion of RC8, fritz suggests Be5 w...After your suggestion of RC8, fritz suggests Be5 with a completely even game.

You definitely are overestimating white's play in this game-- as it looks like black just gave the game away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8556305125957341024.post-42888137405704692842011-05-03T13:33:04.798-04:002011-05-03T13:33:04.798-04:00Fantastic endgame.
