How to know about this Blunder? :'(

#10, nope. Image you have to play a lot of games with Anish Giri. 100 times in a row he will slowly drain your brain heading to a draw with a 100% draw accuracy. And then suddenly stubbing you with a mate. He will completely demotivate you, you will abandon playing chess and move to something else. That's what abusers do with people, who play for fun. That's the crux of any rating system: to find equal opponent, not an opponent with statistics like yours.

ok the Giri part was actually funny, though personally i would be flattered to play lets say a match vs Giri and i would not be demotivated by the result , but thats just a personal thing , for others it might be different

Look this is going to be a long conversation and there is no need for it, you have a point and I can see it , but your logic is flawed ,your arguments are invalid and your conclusions are more emotionally driven that disturb a clear thinking path
But this just an opinion
Keep being you

Hello,

I think it is easy to see that your king will only be able to block the pass pawn until your opponent brings his own king in the battle and protects it. So you can do nothing else than waiting to be defeated without the rook.

And I think it is a good thing to play against stronger players. It is possible to defeat them with some adrenaline since you usually feel more motivated to win the game.

Thank you everybody. I personally enjoy playing with much stronger players from time to time,mostly in unrated games(:P) so that I understand a proper way to build up the pieces or find flaws in a opening style. Also, they can give great feedbacks. I also really wonder why I am 1650+ in Classical and have sink to such low in Blitz. :P

Ohh that is the thing I should have done Mr. Shakespeare, I see it now.

And on move 28, was it a good strategy to move the rook to the first rank and behind the 'a' pawn? I only know of the rule "keep your rook behind your (preferably passed) pawn. " Also was the a file more correct than the b file? I have felt that sometimes the rook gets locked trying to protect the pawn. Is the solution to bring the king near always work in that case?

Thank you! :)

set me straight, I am well aware that avoiding trades when down material is a good idea, but why in such circumstances trade off pawns?

Without the rook it cannot be drawn. I would say that if you can ruin his structure with h4 as it happened it is a good idea. It's clear that neither of you should take, but if you can, you should take ONLY if the rooks are still on board and you can somehow attack the backward pawn. I do not think in this endgame is going to do any good to have 3 vs 2 instead of 2 vs 1...
