I have your K on e8 (after taking my R when I played RxR - see posts 265 and 266). Am I mistaken?

 

This would make it hard to play Kf6.

No your right, I beg your pardon blutach...

 

I've been playing variations then not putting the pieces back right. Gonna get a second board today...

 

Sorry mate dunno what to do now. With the King on e8 I wouldn't have played f5 and my games gone. Even if my King was on e7 it still leaves a hole on g8 for your rook.

[blutach]

On that basis let's go back to before f5 and play again

Great! Hoping you'd say that. Thank you...

...if its drawn do you want to start a new game?

Let's play on a bit, although if you are smart enough, you can deny me entry with your K and B.

...fair enough, nobody's ever accused me of being smart enough though...

You don't wanna let me anywhere near you and you need white square presence.

...other than the fact that I lost, we changed sides, you corrected me on bad moves about 5 times it was a close run thing...

 

But excellent stuff...

[blutach]

Good move! Stops me from invading your back rank.

 

Just muck around for a bit to see if you really understand. End game is the hardest thing to practice.

 

Re2

 

And, yes, it's been fun. See how easy it was to turn a loss into a win? Or at least a draw.
