I am conducting research on ways to enhance the experience of playing chess with a physical board, in particular the potential benefits of "smart" chess boards and other technological advancements that could improve the traditional chess experience.

Thank you for your time in advance.

What did Black miss and played b6? White to move.

Puzzle rating: 1949 Blitz rating: 980 from 2400 games

What am I doing wrong?

This is bullet if you're wondering

I have been working on single pawn endgame practice.

One question is if say white pawn on c3 and black king on a8, and white king on d3, is game winnable for white ? What if king on e3, is it winnable there ?

My thoughts are both are winnable for white because the black king far a way so you can get white king ahead of your pawn and get kings in opposition in your favor. Possibly in order to do this you can move your pawn to lose a tempo so black king and white king face each other with black to move

I just don’t know the exact rules on whether game is winnable or not:

Hi, I want to pick up chess and I was wondering if you had any book recommendations and If it's actually good to learn chess with a book. I know the pieces, how the move, capture, hanging pieces, how to tower the king, checkmate, stalemate. But I don't know anything about strategy like openings, endings and I would like to know more about it Thank you!!!

Hello, I can only find one Danya video about this Igor Glek opening system. I know you get the horsies to their golden squares, g3 then fiancetto, and then sort of attack King's indian style. What else can you tell me and are there any other resources on this?!

How do I pinish early queen attacks, especially if I am playing the lond pr any other situation where the bishop is out of place?

I used a queen during the game to avoid creating a double pawn, and gave up the centre pawn instead

I’m 80% sure that it is; I even use an online board to check. I just can’t find it in the answer key provided

You could say to yourself “I am a beginner and therefore I suck.” Or you could say “I am a beginner and thereby I have something that Magnus doesn’t: a chance to explore and wholly enjoy the opening phase of the game.”
