Mate in 5 is (close?)...Ok..

When the mate is forced, that's when it's close...

Noooo, you were so close! Impossible, I would angry and already digging hole in my backyard to calm down.

These moves aren't so hard to find while solving puzzles, but it's not that easy to find them in real games. Once I was close to beat a 2300 in kings and pawns endgame, I had a passed pawn, and I could advance it and use as interference, and then eat his pawns on the other side, but I had too little amount of time, and couldn't find it. It was in a game against opponent MoellerDaehli. It was very close, but unfortunately I'm bad at this kind of endgame, and couldn't find that move, and additionally in the end I made a mistake, that cost me the game. Additionally I was tilted, because of my losestreak

The checkmate in 5 is hard to find if you aren't aware of such patterns. I personally wouldn't call the game "close" because black was the one pushing the entire game(until he blundered), but a wasted opportunity indeed.

Though on a sidenote, beating high rated players don't necessarily mean so much. Everyone can have a bad game once in a while, including me and everyone else.

You played a good game! Don't listen to any of the nonsense comments from some of the other posters. It's easy to miss things like this. But now that you've seen it (and have had the idea reinforced with a missed-win), I bet you'll spot it next time. Well played. happy.png

Once I missed a win against an IM. It was +12( I was white), then I didn't do anything for a few moves, and he stacked 3 major pieces on the h file, and I forgot that I had to defend. (the defense wasn't hard, just some ez move like f3 would have worked.

I would say the mate is hard to find, especially at the 1000 level.

I will admit that I've only beaten 19 2000+ players throughout all my accounts. Most got banned because I made too many though.

for me its 19 2200+ players. Unfortunately I spend most of my time nowadays 130 points tilted and never get paired with 2200's

I tilt to, my method is just beat chess players when on tilt lol figure out how to get them on tilt

It isn't a very effective method

uhh what do you mean.

You're 800 rapid. No way you could have found that. And your puzzles is 500, so you can't be talking.
