having extra pawn in 5-pieces drawish endgame

teverovski bogoljub :
Mr Pech has lost by time

pineda ulises :
Someone has an obsession about their rating

teverovski bogoljub :
stop 5-pieces game148534
(2026-01-27 13:33:12)

jempty george :
the whole game was sloppy from both sides
(2026-01-25 17:44:54)

jempty george :
maybe you should get a better engine, unbeatable with SF17
(2026-01-25 17:44:16)

jempty george :
b4 mv 28, 27...d4! was a VAST improvement over ...Qd8?!
(2026-01-25 17:43:28)

jempty george :
in this case; endgame was just easy for Black
(2026-01-24 12:04:15)

jempty george :
i don't always rely on the eval, but White should have
(2026-01-24 12:03:37)

broekhuizen ats :
Also the endgame from move 50 was a thriller
(2026-01-24 08:33:52)

broekhuizen ats :
Looking at the eval bar is helpful but often not enough
(2026-01-24 08:22:30)

broekhuizen ats :
Also from the 28th move you have to find the winning plan.
(2026-01-24 08:21:56)

broekhuizen ats :
And 24.fxe6 fxe6 25.g4 h5 was not (much) better than 24.Na4
(2026-01-24 08:19:25)

broekhuizen ats :
I think f5 was fine but he played the wrong rook
(2026-01-24 08:16:33)

jempty george :
And 24.Na4? WTF
(2026-01-24 06:53:22)

jempty george :
white just started playing poor moves starting with 21.f5
(2026-01-24 06:52:36)

broekhuizen ats :
Nice example of how white can go wrong against sturdy defenc

gray garvin :
inform Thibault of the tablebase draw

gray garvin :
If they don't, then on next move, press call referee and
(2025-12-17 03:17:32)

gray garvin :
Offer draw to your opponent and state this. Most agree
(2025-12-17 03:17:09)

teverovski bogoljub :
Game 148534 is 5-pieces tablebase draw
(2025-12-16 20:20:46)

jempty george :
and in higher rated tourneys prob. ZERO black wins
(2025-11-29 15:02:10)

jempty george :
only in lower rated tournaments there will evr b 2 black win
(2025-11-29 15:01:23)

jempty george :
issue with different values for black and white as I see it
(2025-11-29 14:59:56)

jempty george :
apparently it's just like ICCF's? That could be the standard
(2025-11-29 01:49:14)

jempty george :
yes, 3 white, but I've come around to Garvin's idea now
(2025-11-29 01:46:20)

devassal thibault :
... as 3 white wins?
(2025-11-28 20:21:19)

jempty george :
with my idea 2 black wins would count the same s 2 white wns
(2025-11-28 10:01:39)

ozen bahadir :
1.1 for black, 1.0 for white also enough
(2025-11-28 09:09:37)

jempty george :
1.5 for Black, 1.0 for White?
(2025-11-28 00:15:37)

devassal thibault :
But there is no guarantee it can apply
(2025-11-27 23:41:33)

devassal thibault :
Actually, that's an interesting idea!
(2025-11-27 23:41:00)

pineda ulises :
In tie breaks
(2025-11-27 17:00:32)

pineda ulises :
What about making black wins have more weight
(2025-11-27 17:00:24)

devassal thibault :
Garvin's right :) No perfect choice anyway...
(2025-11-26 21:02:18)

gray garvin :
mind
(2025-11-26 11:33:53)

gray garvin :
And our opinion is irrelevant. Thibault is not changing his
(2025-11-26 11:33:48)

gray garvin :
Not really. This topic is not new. It is a repeat.
(2025-11-26 11:33:23)

jempty george :
maybe we should start a forum topic
(2025-11-26 10:19:08)

gray garvin :
the best tie break is most wins, followed by SB
(2025-11-26 08:08:45)

gray garvin :
the lowest rated player in the field
(2025-11-26 08:08:28)

gray garvin :
Perf rat is also not a good tie break as it advantages
(2025-11-26 08:08:14)

jempty george :
to reduce MY own scenario with rtng having gone way up
(2025-11-26 00:43:16)

jempty george :
a reward could be perf. rtng minus last published rating
(2025-11-26 00:41:48)

devassal thibault :
Finally, we made it different for the CUP
(2025-11-25 17:40:13)

devassal thibault :
2. It is kind of a reward for other tournaments played/won
(2025-11-25 17:39:26)

devassal thibault :
1. It does not evolve after the tournament starts
(2025-11-25 17:38:38)

devassal thibault :
There were several reasons to choose TER:
(2025-11-25 17:38:07)

TER is too much of an advantage
