Description
I was up a whole rook and thought the hard part was over. Then my opponent's passed pawn reached the second rank—and suddenly I was panicking.
These are the two wins from today's five-game rapid session, played at 15 minutes plus a 10-second increment on Chess.com. First, I finally get a win against RYANpogimaster. Then, against Heva71, I build a big advantage and discover how dangerous getting careless can be.
I've been playing chess for the past 12 months and have reached 1500 Elo. I'm still learning on the Road to 2000, sharing the decisions, mistakes, and close calls along the way.
What would you do when you're a rook up but your opponent is one step from promotion?
