Win in a lost endgame
Sort:
white is a piece up, and could have gotten a prepetual check with the rook oh h6 and g6
Your opponent mucked up an easy win. After 26...Rxb2, notice your king is almost in a mating net. So 27.Rc1 is very strong. What are your options?
27...Kf8 28.Nxh7+ and you lose another pawn (or two after 29.Rc7).
27...Rf2 28.Rc8+ Rf8 29.Rxf8 Kxf8 30.Nxh7+ and you trade rooks and lose a pawn.
27...g6 28.h6 and now you're in even deeper water.
your opponent was (I think had a over-selfconfident or retarded)
You had a chance and you used it well, i think your apponent was in a winning position before carelessy lossing the night. Maybe your confidence scared him.

That sums everything up well. Well spotted likesforests.
Hi guys , recently I've tried to get better at endgames . Here I know I have a lost position but I decide to fight till the end . I think both of us played ok but suggestions are welcome . Would you have resigned in the beginning position ?
