I've never beaten it myself! however I just came close today, had the king in the run for the first time, but it still ended up tying me in knots, I started of playing a high line with the pawns then attacked with the rooks and knights. Usually I bring the pawns out slowly.

You sure have, but still plenty of work to do. Try copy and pasting the rest of the game here when complete please.

Rook and pawn endgames are the ones that are toughest to win. If you know the rules/techniques, you can convert a lot of positions to wins and apparently lost positions to draws. You are two pawns up here but your pawns are isolated/doubled. You have four pawn "islands" (weak) whereas your opponent has only one. His black rook is also pretty active while yours might be needed to defend your pawns. You need to get your king into the game.

YES I WILL TRY, the latest is
black rook g8 king c8 me white pawns c7 f2 rook c2 king g4 i know ive done some silly moves between my 2 posts , its white move |
|
By:

By:

repetition

Ok. Let's look at the position in your 11.19 post. You have your rook on c2 and have pushed your pawn to c7. This is perfect as black is forced to keep his king at c8 to stop the pawn going in. If you didn't have another pawn it would probably be a draw, but you have and it's protected. Black can't use his rook and pawn to take the pawn at c7 as you just chop the rooks off and move your king up the board to somewhere like e7 and march your f2 pawn in. Your first move should be Kf4, then Ke5 then Kd6. Notice that on d6, the black rook can't check you on the 8th rank because of your pawn on c7? Now it's just a case of gradually advancing your f pawn, keeping guarding it with your rook until it gets all the way to a queen (supported by your king near the end). Black is totally tied up, he can't cover everything. Black also has to ensure that he can try his best to keep checking you or else your rook might be able to go to b2 then b8 and mate him.

i will one day, emitdeb, im not very good at all, i could go on level 3 now and be beaten in most, but if i do go onthe chess site you mention i,ll give you a game.I know youve said its easy , but i really am a dinosaur with these things, and all my nephews/ nieces take the piss out of me.
|
|
By:
Not a problem elisjohn, It's all the same site. If you click a link i put up, pretty sure that would do... Not able atm.. Have things that i need to pretend I'm doing whilst losing money on the horses
 |
|
By:
yes politics , he was forced to keep his king at c8, exactly as you say, i did get my king into play , but just couldnt finish him off, did you know of the repetition rule?
another ?, if in a match you have just a king left, if opponent doesnt check mate you in a certain number of moves then its a draw, is that correct, i heard it was 16 moves |
|
By:
yes im laying hypothetical in the next

By the way, that bishop and knight mate situation very rarely comes up over the board but is a good test. Here is a much better one and this similar situation comes up all the time.
White- Rook on h1. King on b4. pawn on c4. Black- Rook on g2. King on e5. White to play. What result? |
|
By:
I think i had a 50 move draw when there was loads on the board once. Pawns practically locked up and game going nowhere. Maybe im wrong

Charlie, once the white king gets to d6, black can't check with his rook on d8 as whites pawn is on c7. White then brings his rook to the e file. Now the threat is Re8+ if black brings his rook off the eighth rank. Now white has the option of advancing his f pawn and can always block checks with Re6.
|
|
By:
Thinking about it maybe white comes back and hides behind his f pawn, moves his rook to c3 and then pawn to f3 and king to f2. And continues slowly advancing up the board in a similar manner - rook to c4 etc. Have to be a bit careful that black doesn't chop c pawn to leave a drawn pawn ending. Lucena positions are also relevant here.

By:
I'll have to set the position up!
|
|
By:
Ah I had white rook on c1.
|
|
By:
Charlie, How does black stop plans such as ...
1. Kf5 Rf8+ 2. Ke6 Re8+ 3. Kd6 Rf8 4. Re2 Rg8 5. f4 Rg6+ 6. Re6 Rg8 7 f5 etc. |
|
By:
1. Kf5 Rf8+ 2. Ke6 Rf3 maybe? If Kd6 then Rf3+.
|
|
By:
Rf6 not 3
|
|
By:
I mean Rf6+ if Kd6 ffs!

White- Rook on h1. King on b4. pawn on c4. Black- Rook on g2. King on e5. White to play. What result? Seemed to get the job done as white by parking my rook on the d file to block the king from joining in. Was there a better way? |
|
By:
Please etc!
I think that is the correct way but again I haven't set up the position. I'll have a look later. |
