Nice. Um, well, may as well get some material back since black is at a huge deficit. So... Bxe6, Now blunder the queen so that the positions are more or less equalized.
Er... white has a pawn on d4, so that's not viable move, though that would be awesome, Voltron chess.
Oh, I must have screwed up a move somewhere. We need to dial this back. I have this:the d4 pawn took your knight at c5 the square is available
here is the board as i have it

i do agree about the rook otoh it is in a good spot with regard to the both sets of pawns
That's true, but I may (nearly definitely) have played another move in that case. I played thinking that that square was secure and that the knight was pretty trapped (as it was before) Let's dial it back to your taking the knight and let's see what moves there are? Or maybe we just stop the simulation here.ok i see what happened .
i took the knight at c5 with the d4 pawn ( not the queen ) so the white queen is still parked on d6 and the knight can indeed occupy d4 , my board is correct .

Honestly, maybe this is where we end this little exercise. I really only had one point, which was that there was a bunch of continuation, which I feel like we've already shown. I mean, yes, you have a position that should be winning, but there is a categorical difference between "should win" to "will win".
I seem obsesssed with playing crap chess against the superbot though, and get smashed in various ways, sometimes we me playing better (1200, which is high for me) or... loower (650 level). That thing is brutal.
I've been feeding my inner masochist amd playing the questionmaster. I don't even know why anymore. I think that I just want to test how many moves and defenses I know the theory for, and what is the depth of that. It's not great. I get a lot best moves and then excellent, as well as the inevitable misses and inaccuracies, but only occasionally a brilliant move. Weird how every competitive activity you do shows your personality. I just march people down. I am obviously not doing that in chess, but the tendencies seem to be there.ngl seeing *brilliant* on game review is always nice
Yeah, I looked at the board, and saw that it was going to lead me on a non-great king run. Here, white (me) to move. Thoughts?btw fok they took the bishop . i am punishing accordingly
