It say's now white wins easy... I didn't see how so i put this position in the chess computer to finish the game. Ive been playing with white for a hour how playing over and over and black beats me every time. And what the heck does 1...bc 2.bc mean??? this is not correct chess notation.

bxc3 bxc3

masterfowler

if black plays Ke5 then i suppose you play Kg5 and make a queen

masterfowler

the doubled pawns on the black queenside is his main problem imo

Darylprater

bxc3 means a bishop captures a piece on c3... there is no bishop in this game...

masterfowler

Bc3 means bishop captures...pieces are capital letters☺

Darylprater

 what does bxc3 mean?

 

masterfowler

i agree its not the mainstrean notation but i prefer it to PK4 and B-QB4 notation lol

Darylprater

and they wrote on the site 1...bc 2.bc what the heck does that mean??

 

masterfowler

bxc3 means pawn on b captures pawn on c3

masterfowler

bc just means that bxc

If you're losing that as white again and again for an hour, that's quite a remarkable achievment.

😂😂😂 funny master coleman hahaha thanks for the laugh

Darylprater

 well its always a draw... he just puts his black king in front of my pawn and its a stalemate everytime

masterfowler

youbare forgetting about your kings ability to run to the queenside now and create passed pawns there

Darylprater

I think the lesson is flawed, this position is a draw, not a win for white

masterfowler

you are*

i tried that too, he runs his king over too, and his pieces are so close to the 1st rank that he always get a queen before me 

masterfowler

the thing is...you have a kingside pawn majority...so if he tries to defend with his king you destroy his queenside with your king...if he tries for counterplay you queen and win

masterfowler

impossible...there is no way he queens before you
