1.g8=N b5
2.Ne7 Kxb4
3.Nc6++

Theres your answer

a bit of an tricky one to spot but once you realise Black is forced to make those moves it is quite easy then

Provided you remember you dont have to promote to a queen everytime

keithstuart

Congratualtions

I myself am nearing 500 wins but 500 losses will be first and 1000 games finshed will be soon enough too

keithstuart

it had me pondering most of the day at work but i figured it out

a tough one this you have to move the pawn to g8 and promote it to a knight

keithstuart

the 5 points advantage was after the 1...Bd4 move not allowing for any move by white so obviously if white played a bad move the points advantage would be greater or listed as mate in 8 or lower

Thanks

I Kind of disagree with his Bd4 being not agood move when i checked with chessbase it gives it a 5 point advantage which to me is a big advantage

keithstuart

mluka handles the ladder matches and helps on the team amtches too

try sending a message via the main site to him

keithstuart

Yes there are both team tournaments and a pair of ladder leagues both can be accessed from the main page via the links at the top of the screen The team match might well mean you go on a waiting list for now until the current season has ended as i am not aware of any teams needing a new player just ...

i thought the code function only worked with premade tables note just a list

Hi Here are the predicted final scores for the big tournament jjones organised going on start ratings Thanks to Tellymetwise for sorting it out for me Basically it is start rating % chance of winning tournament ie mine is 0,51 meaning i have a 51% chance of winning followed by expected final score i...

keithstuart

1...Bb2+ 2.Kb1 Ba2+ is bad for black giving white the advantage

1..Bd4 is not a blunder and leaves black in a winning position but there is a better move namely

1...Ba2

white losses his queen after this move and is forced to play Qxe6+ or be mated in 6 or fewer moves

keithstuart

mine is 1671 and i more or less play 2100+ rated playrs only these days

keithstuart

i would of anyway as i am lazy like that

keithstuart

is there a simple program anywhere where i could punch in everyones ratings and it will give me a predicted match result?

keithstuart

listed as percentage chance of winning for the higher rated player i presume?

so if we were playing more than one game i'd multiply the number of games by that factor to get a figure would i?

keithstuart

any one care to explain how to work out predicted scores from this??

keithstuart

Hi

Can anyone tell me where to go to find a site that tells me the preicted score in a match going on rating values alone

this is for the big match Jeff started and i am attempting to work out what everyone's score should be going from the start of match ratings which i have

cheers keith

keithstuart

go on you know you want to

keithstuart

Gives me the advantage then as you have to copy my moves now

keithstuart

Playing your chess here at slower speeds at least gives you more time to think about your move

Which to me means you learn to play better that much quicker and more easily especailly if you play a good opponenet who comments on the game as you go along

keithstuart

Congrats

I'll be there soonish my self

keithstuart

Not being to sound stupid or any thing but surely as Yahoo own Geocities and Google won't they be listed automatically??

keithstuart

what is Bug House?

keithstuart

Actually that is a valid point

a 'slow'person is derogatory slang in the UK for mentally challenged people

being we have personalised time settings how about playatyourownpacechess.com

keithstuart

Welcome to the site Most games here, even between only two people, are of 2 games or more. This is mainly because, allthough it is possible, single game mathces do not have any way of either player picking a colour as it is randomly assigned on match setup. As for Korposion, i have never come across...

keithstuart

if they want blitz chess thy can always try and beat the server

keithstuart

Thanks fellas

I am slowly edging towards a 50% win record but i iamagine i'll need a good 6 months to get there yet assuming i don't lose too many in the mean time

keithstuart

Black can't mate in one move but can mate in 5 moves by my recknoing

keithstuart

Yep i finally reached the nextmilestone with 400 wins now.

Still not got my win rate over 50% but i am working on it slowly.

Currently i need another 80 finsihed matches to have completed 1000 games here.

keithstuart

Still tricky

would depend if i could afford to live on the lower paid job really

keithstuart

Hmm tough one

It would depend on whether the high earning awful thing was relavily short term as i could live with it for a while whilst taking the money

keithstuart

i'll see what i cna sort out specific opening wise might take a bit of time and i assume they are all there now naturally i have the books and can group them under things like Najdorf sicilian and then any sub openings if they are listed in my book lord knows how long that wil take but i'll do it as...

keithstuart

could of named them for me

keithstuart

Jeff lies

He plays the french a little too

Ok, I just fixed it. Someone pointed it out a while ago, but I forgot about it.

Yes i forgot to rremind you about it never mind at least it gave the right coordinates when you clicked on thepieces to move them

keithstuart

Unlike the normal tables here with the game results as a score mine should be with indivdual match results

gotta redownload the files first and figure out how to use it again

keithstuart

Greg

Just noticed a major flaw as i have switched to the new layout myself now

If you are playing a game as Black the lettering on the board layout on your (Black's) Side is back to front ie labelled oppositly to the other side

the numbering is fine though

keithstuart

Hmm if my maths is right we get 56 games each right???

Should be great allthough i wont be starting any other games for quiet a while once this gets started

As i mentioned in the other thread i'll see what i can make up for a proper table of info

keithstuart

jjones wrote:Ohhh is that so?

Well, this maybe the time you get ZAPPPED!!!

JEff

should be able to make up a quick table and going on start ratings predict who will win

keithstuart

count me in my man i could do with a decent win

keithstuart

Nothing particulary wrong with Nxf7 either as the resulting moves can lead to pawn swpas too leaving white ahead still

Tellymetwise is posting loads currently plus i am awaiting windows xp before starting again as i'll have to reformat the hard drive again

keithstuart

Thanks for the link greg i'll have a look after the new year when i get a windows xp upgrade

keithstuart

thanks greg

but can you recommend me a perl interpreter now please as i need one apparently

keithstuart

Is this a simple to use and understand stats program greg as i am looking at adding something onto my own site to keep a better track of the visitors

keithstuart

tricky this one spent a day studying it

all i can see is playing Qe6 opens the bishop's diagonal up from g7 attacking whites queenside pawn structure behind which the king hides

dont think there is anyother route of attack and/or pressure application

keithstuart

looking at the position i would say it makes no difference what black plays as the game is easily lost from there barring errors from white is gxh4 best the answer i would say is probably not as it looks like playing it will somehow results in a lot of action kingside with several pieces being captu...

so easy i missed completly i spooted the queen attack first which is obviously better

keithstuart

Nc6 is the required move

keithstuart

ok i follow you know

i'll post my answer tomorrow if no one else has

keithstuart

0.3 difficulty on a scale of what??

Still easy enough to spot the required move here i'll not say what it is for now to give some others a chance
