help! how do I play this properly? (2rooks vs rook/bishop/pawn)
Sort:
At move 58 where he checked you, instead of moving away from the pawn you should have moved toward the pawn instead, protecting it from being captured. Your black rook was occupying the h rank so the next move would have promoted the pawn as your best outcome or perpetual check as your worst outcome.
First of all I am the white player, not the black player. And the black player wisely moved away from the pawn because he would have been perpetually checked otherwhise. White cannot take the pawn as I already said in the comment because black would get whites rook in the next move (Rh2). So in this position black promotes the pawn no matter what.
But thanks anyway
27. Kf1 (looks like an improvement) Rd8 (Re8 28. f3) 28. Rbc1 and your game looks stable enough to get your king active and convert your material advantage. Once your king gets a bit active, you can start looking for exchange sacs that bring you to an active vs. passive rook ending. I'm not using an engine, so I could be wrong.
it seems i at first posted this in a wrong forum so sorry for the double-post
I recently played a game, that endet up with quality advantage for me (rook to bishop) but 1 pawn disadvantage (so +1 for me via the point system), although I guess a bishop in an endgame position is worth slightly more and an additional pass-able pawn equals up the position.
However I really had no idea how to play this properly (2 rook vs rook + bishop + pawn) and consequently lost the endgame (+ my enemy was very highrated, ~2000 I think).
How would you play this properly? I found a few mistakes when analyzing, but most of them were made because I didn't know what else to do.
I appreciate your help!
