Eval Swing: -681 cp
Variation: Kd4 Kb5 Ke3 Kb4
You could have played: Kd4 Kb5 Ke3 Kb4

Coach Explanation

You had a chance to seize a significant positional advantage. Kd4 puts your king in a dominant central position. If white responds with Kb5, you can continue with Ke3, forcing Kb4. This line demonstrates how active your king could become, creating problems for white and improving your overall position.

FEN: 8/8/8/5k2/6p1/6P1/6K1/8 b - - 2 49
You Played: Kg5
You Could Have Played: Ke4
Eval Swing: -3572 cp
Variation: Ke4 Kf2 Kd3 Kf1
You could have played: Ke4 Kf2 Kd3 Kf1

Coach Explanation

You had a chance to seize a decisive advantage. Ke4 is a powerful positional move. This immediately threatens to trap the white king. If you had played Ke4, and White responded with Kf2, you could have followed up with Kd3, forcing Kf1 and likely winning the game. This sequence significantly improves your position.

Recurring Patterns


This game continues the established pattern of missed opportunities, particularly regarding positional advantages and tactical strikes. The missed Rxd1+ highlights a continuing difficulty in recognizing hanging pieces, a recurring theme from previous games. The missed Rb8 and Rb5 opportunities showcase a struggle to identify positional improvements, a trend noted frequently in earlier analyses. The missed king moves (Kd4, Ke4) further underscores difficulty capitalizing on positional advantages, as the total missed opportunities has now reached 36 across the last 23 games.
