| General Chess Discussion - Which pawn breaks are good and which ones are bad?#3 In that game black’s pawn on e6 was blocking the bishop, so after white played his pawn to e5, it had to get into the game by d7 and c6. So obviously if he’s able to play e6-e5, it saves a lot of work… | nogenius |
| General Chess Discussion - Without looking at an engine, which side is better?#17 Both of whites bishops are out of the game, so pretty much the rooks as well. And whites queen is nearly trapped. I’d much rather be black here Basically white needs to be able to take the pawn on d3,… | nogenius |
| Game analysis - Is this positonal Queen sac true ?#4 The computer’s going to be off if it’s not a very deep evaluation, because a human player can just see that black’s playing without a light-squared bishop. Sure, you can put it on a6, but it won’t do … | nogenius |
| Game analysis - Up 2.5 in the endgame, how to break through?#7 I’m not sure about 22 Rxe8, with 22 Ree7 white doubles and threatens Rxg7, and if black exchanges rooks then he’s left with his passive rook, instead of activating it in the game. I’m also not sure wh… | nogenius |

| General Chess Discussion - Which do you prefer?#2 If you're losing on time, you can work on time management. If you're just losing, the clock's only going to help you so much. | nogenius |
| General Chess Discussion - When do you resign and when do you accept draws?#17 I accept draws if I think I'm worse (because why not) or that it's literally a dead draw. But I usually prefer to play on if I don't know if it's a draw, because I think it's a shame if either of us c… | nogenius |
| General Chess Discussion - What side would you prefer to play as?#7 #6 but as people have said the absence of the h2 pawn is a plus for white, I'm not sure it does. If white has to open up the h file, that would take more time, so any analysis wouldn't translate to a … | nogenius |
| General Chess Discussion - How to win a won position - rookie question#4 The 'learn from your mistakes' button is a useful feature for this. Often when you think you've got a good position, it's because you missed a knock-out. (Not really the case here, mainly because whit… | nogenius |
