jda Apr 2021 12:42pm, 25 Apr 2021 9,935 posts	0 jda That runs into Qc1+ and Qf4+ swapping queens into a winning (for white) but tediously long endgame which at 2 days per move I was keen to avoid

SPR Apr 2021 3:15pm, 25 Apr 2021 34,029 posts	0 SPR I drew my first AFS game a couple of days ago by agreement. Analysis says I was slightly up all the was but her final move made me think I was in trouble and I went for a counter with my final move (which was an inaccuracy) before my draw offer was accepted. There was an interesting missed win which I would never have seen without the analysis and looks forced to me. Screenshot with black (me) to move. Game link below.

mole-thing Apr 2021 5:46pm, 25 Apr 2021 2,061 posts	0 mole-thing SPR positions like this with opposite coloured bishops and queens are often very dangerous and you're entitled to look for tactical opportunities. Here you can see you’re getting 2 pawns for the B and still have a big attach, quite likely winning the B back, so worth analysing in detail.
SPR Apr 2021 6:48pm, 25 Apr 2021 34,035 posts	0 SPR Mole-thing - I didn't think it was worth losing the bishop for two pawns but analysis says the least I get on best moves is the bishop back there so I'd have been three pawns up. It actually says the best move is for white not to take the the bishop if I take the pawn. Totally missed by me.
