Learning how to flip a loss is really satisfying.

    @AdamGaffney96 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That first game was very interesting, as even losing the rook for the knight it wasn't that bad, I've definitely drawn and won endgames in positions like that. Rooks are better than bishops sure, but in an endgame where blacks structure is messed up like that you had plenty of chances. I think you probably should've gone e6 at a couple of moments without a doubt, even if it felt like the pawn was at risk you could've collapsed their entire queenside. Fun game to watch!
    EDIT: That second game was upsetting from blacks perspective. I feel like a 1450 should be able to find h4 in that endgame with over half a minute on the clock, in the endgame you need to look past losing pawns and realise that with a 3v1 on the kingside you can easily get an uncatchable pawn. I think NL played fantastically to be able to psyche them out without a doubt, but I really am shocked that black couldn't find the win there.
