    Peet is not correct. Sorry, Peet. This one is deeper than that.

    B2 and b3 are bishops correct?

    That is correct. b2 and b3 are Bishops.

    Hint: Bishop on b3 moves first.

    I disagree. I can take your knight for a pawn, if you want to trade pieces later we can do that.

    Wouldn't the next move be from d.3 to e.1 after black knight to d.3??? I don't play Chess that often, but that's what I saw. Sorry.

    White has next move, under my suggestion black knight no longer exists. A couple other items, white rook and king are on white spaces while black bishop is on black, and therefore could only be used as a guard to protect another checkmating piece. I don’t see that on this board. I would actually b... View More

    White Biship takes black rook, Than, Black has two choices take white biship with black knight or black pawn, White rook, sacrifices by taking whichever, being lost to the other, clearing way for white pawn to advance. Game pretty much over.

    I figured you were done when you seemed unwilling to explore a continuation starting with the Bishop hint that I gave you. "When you find a good move, look for a better move". I'll give you the complete exchange...

    This position is transitioning from late mid-game into the endgame. White is down a piece. Yes, capturing the Knight evens material, but Black has better position. Separating the King-side pawns further weakens White's position. By exchanging pieces as posted above Black ends up with a Bishop, but c... View More

    Hey Red, to continue our debate, I take your knight with my pawn, what’s your next move?
    • September 18, 2021
    BigRedConservative
    Ok, you just lost the game with that move, but here are the next few moves for you, and you will see the wheels start falling off. 1. Nxf4. Rxd1 2. Bxd1, Ba3 3. Bb3, Bxb4... You move your King up, I move my King up and my pawns are protected...

    • September 21, 2021
    BigRedConservative
    That was a mistake on my part. That should have read 1. gxf4 (Your pawn takes my Knight) You asked my response. It woud be my Rook captures your Rook on d1. I assume you would capture my Rook with your Bishop, afterwards I move my Bishop to a3, attacking two of your pawns.
    • September 21, 2021
    Peeeeet
    I follow that but my b4 goes to b5, you’re outnumbered there. One of my pawns gets through no matter how we trade those pieces. You can of course position your bishop depending on how we trade those pieces to block my pawn that gets through. While you’re busy doing that, I’ll be moving my bish... View More

    I'm out for the night. I'll reply to your next move in the morning.
    • September 22, 2021

    If your cx5b means your c6 pawn takes my b5, my next move would be a4, b5

    After your move axb5 my move is axb5 Your move.

    Then I would c5 to c6, as I said earlier that would force you to either tie up your bishop or let my c6 pawn through. If you tie up my c6 I have the advantage because my b isn’t held down guarding against anything. And my c6 is now only 2 moves from being a q, and your king is 4 moves away from st... View More

    I posted the answer on this thread close to the top. White should win provide the right moves are made Peeeeet doesn't believe me so we're playing out the game according to how he would move. That's the thread that's going now.

    I'm going to tag you up to my post, I have been up all night and am having difficulty reading your notation. I also doesn't help that everything is so far from the board. Hang on

    Agreed. I'm in a group on fb that's strictly related to chess. There are people in that group from all over the world. All different religions, etc. The group is not about that and does not focus on that. We are all there for love of the game. And yes, we could use more prayer!
