Huh? She said you shouldn't count this as losing on timing, and she was right. This was hopeless long before the last few moves. If not for the convienance of the clock running out, she should have just resigned before her last actual move. I'm sure she would have still lost if you gave her another 3 minutes on the clock, but that might have been by running out the clock too, because running out the clock is what happens when a good chess player who doesn't want to resign has no idea how to save the game, which I'm sure is what happen here. Did you pay attention to the material on the board at that point? It was 5 pawns and knight vs. 7 pawns and a rook, and one of her pawns was doubled!

@welson99226 ай бұрын
@@Hylebos75 Stockfish is an extremely powerful chess bot that even the No. 1 chess player has no chance of beating it. This means it can find the best moves so it can also help chess players prepare for their games. In this case, white played Jubava London System opening and if black cannot suprise white with unexpected move, then black is just walking right into white's game plan. White already know what is the best response to black's moves. Therefore, you have to do unexpected but strong moves that your opponent didn't expect and didn't study. Otherwise, you're playing against moves that opponent prepared using Stockfish or other materials.

Instructiva partida. La de rápidas que habrá ganado el chico con esa apertura. Creo que cuando desconocemos una apertura o variante es útil seguir la actitud de Kasparov. Prudencia, pensar bien las réplicas y no arriesgar. Normalmente nos ponemos a pensar a toro pasado y cuando nuestra posición está irremediablemente deteriorada. Y en aperturas tácticas y de tanto contacto de piezas el bando a remolque puede intentar imponer un ritmo lento y posicional. En la partida: la aguda c5 es el comienzo de los problemas para el negro, pero si se desconoce la apertura es muy difícil anticipar la tormenta.
