Here is my first 100+ move game. :) I thought it would be interesting to post because it was a very long game. :)
nice
veeeery long :)
Not really. It's kind of difficult to win that endgame. Good game.
wow, i don't have the time to go through all the moves, but good game
pretty epic.
Lol, no, its not difficult at all.. he blew it badly. Lots of moves for nothing. But hey.. important is he had fun. No need to play like kasparov all the time

If you thought this wasn't difficult then maybe you can give some suggestions on where I could have made some improvements. :) Keep in mind that my opponent's rating was 2270 (250 points higher than mine). Before my opponent did the knight sac it was looking kind of drawish since I didn't see a good way of eliminating black's pawn so I can go promote. :) Usually a rook vs knight endgame ends in a draw unless there are some threats with the pawns. :)
nice game.

Thanks for posting the game. It must have taken you as long to post and annotate it as it took to play it! Great sacrifice in the middle and I agree with you; Rook v Knight looked a draw from a long way out. I'd be interested to see if anyone who disagrees can post a way of showing how you could have won this one
here's a move:
79.RxN;;
1/2-1/2
i'm adding to the common shorthand for chess notation here. i think the semicolon is a good candidate for drawish chess.
; = drawish move
;; = has loss the will to live, drawish move
Its winable but tough to get a wining position

I don't see how he could have won the game from a position in his game. Laporte and young_roy123, why don't you show us the winning move. It looks like a draw to me.
59 Kg5 is stronger than 59. Kg3 imo
59.Kg5 Ne6+ 60.Nxe6 Kxe6 61.Kxg6 Nxg4 still looks like a draw to me.
The last moves were just overkill. You could have gotten a good advantage by taking his pawn with your knight on move 63 and have a two-pronged pawn advance.

Hello Gonnosuke,
I don't really understand your analysis, starting with 57...Kc6 allowing King to be cut off on b-file. Is there some reason why trying to keep the king closer to pawns with
Ke6 fails tactically?

Wouldn't 90. Ra6+ have won? Then, either ... Kg7 or ... Kh7, and then 91. Rxh6 Kxh6 92. Kh6. Then, the Black king has to move away and you get the black pawn. Then, you're up a pawn, and you've pretty much won.

Hllo,
I don,t think so, after 90.Ra6+ Kg7(h7) 91.Rxh6 Kxh6 92. Kf6 Kh7 93Kxp Kg7. Think this is a basic pawn endgame, white to move draw, black to move loses.
White can go for this endgame some ways earlier too with 70Ra6+, again black can draw i think, if careful to get the opposition at the right moment.
People have talked about white,s good play, but personally think black deserves most praise for the way he held on, after his mouseslip.

What you miss is the subtley of the position!
It is not enough for white just to be a pawn up...
