If I turn the bishop on b3 into a pawn I think Black is close to winning - suggesting that the bishop has something to do with it?

I think the bishop will end up being pretty important, no?

For clarity, nor would mine usually! I knew I was better but thought it would take a bit of effort to prove it.

Computer already has it at +3.5 which feels a lot. My opponent actually resigned a couple of moves earlier!

Yes white is better. How much?

Possible variation from a blitz game I just played. White has a bishop, Black three pawns. Your evaluation?

Real Boden!

He really is rather good, especially in these conditions. Don’t need to be 90+mph, don’t need to move it miles, just enough to get through / find the edge.

Yeah there’s a few misses but generally pretty good.

What if one of the steps is the distant opposition?

My old account goes through Zetison though not directly (I beat someone who beat them)

I expect there will be a lot of routes through them!

Nice!

Looks like it must be one of your first games too, if you’re gaining 150 points for a win!

Surely it’s just like normal opposition only further away?

This week I have been Very Bad At Chess. I will not be taking questions.

Sounds exciting!

Thanks Peter!

Doesn’t say in the laws that I can’t do it though.
