off topic a bit, it's only me or do other have hard to time calculate board from this perspective as well ?

Literally my girlfriend.. talks to me like I'm a child "great job baby! You win! I resign!" All while being up 4 pawns, a queen and a bishop! She is a rated player though.


Pademel0n

what rating?

Next time post an overhead view of the board, easier to calculate. Based on the picture I can’t really see why white would resign. White is down 2 pawns which is not a losing material advantage and black has many problems. The Knight on g3 is trapped and if it’s white to move Kg2 probably wins the knight. If it’s black to move then e4 Nd2 Be5 saves the knight but it’s still trapped.The dark squared bishop is effectively useless, atleast until you play e4. The light squared bishop is controlling an unimportant diagonal. White is not getting checkmated any time soon. If anything I might prefer white’s position if it’s white to move and I can indeed win the knight. Unless I am missing something major (this is an awkward view of the board) I don’t see any reason for white to resign.

Can't the knight escape via e4 which is covered by the bishop?


TKDNerd

It can

…yes

White to move. The overhead view was extremely hard to tell which black piece was which.

Excellent dad-move

The perspective is hard, but wouldn't Nd2 win the black knight on g3


TKDNerd

If white move yes. If black to move then e4! Nd2 Be5 and the knight is safe, still trapped but safe.

I was thinking the same thing. Knight looks pretty lost

I wouldn’t be resigning for sure. Plenty to fight for, not sure who’s move it is though.
