You can look at the game. My opponents name was Gpowerison and It was a few games ago.
I'll take a look.
AR are you going to look at my diagram in post #100?
Is it 100% ?
What do you mean is it %100?

It was partly a pun. Post #100.
Anyway - do you see the win?
Its not a vid - but the moves to win are short.
Looked at your game with the 1800 ...
Yes i saw the win, but with Bb6. It’s the same thing right? I really need to improve on puzzles because since i’m 11 i sometimes have a hard time seeing big tactics.
Bb6 instead of Bc7 works too. i saw that one first. Both of them lead to a win.

Yes it still works provided you then aim the bishop at e7.
The e7 square is critical.
I stated Bc7 because its the shortest move. The most efficient.
And to illustrate the Diamond shape.
Could help to remember it?
The point is the winning bishop goes completely around his pawn.

Its a 'big tactic' because promoting to Queen is like winning a Queen.
You're going up in material by a Queen.
So its Killer Moves.
Yes it kind of forces a trade, if the bishop doesn’t take the bishop, then the pawn queens. Since the bishop is around the pawn(like in diagonal) it blocks the bishops attack to the promotion square.
Yes i sometimes see “big tactics” but when there are more pieces on the board it’s hard to see it.
Anyways I’m going to sleep now. 😴

Its almost like the winning bishop is saying to its pawn ...
'Look - get ready to Queen. I'm all around you. I've got this. We've got this.'
Pawn replies: Yeah I see that. Its Diamond.'

Looked at your game. d4 is a gambit. An interesting one.
Then I looked at it a second time using Game Report.
Black was doomed in those final moves but it kept saying 'excellent move' on black's final hopeless reply moves.
Good night.
😃 good night. And the name of the gambit is “Deutz gambit”. It’s the best!
I’m back
hi, I was at school. and chess class

The century-old chess manuals by Capablanca and Tarrasch START with simple endings to explain the basic principles. The Dvoretsky books are probably too "dense" for someone with little endgame knowledge. It might help if you play some daily games where you can spend a lot of time carefully analyzing the endings you reach.
And if your teachers can't explain ending you might need a new teacher.
