I think both games were good endgames, although Joester is not the type whose rating is going to stagnate around 2100 - he will be well over 2200 by the time he peaks, and phatboy probably knew that as well.

Unless they did not know there was an advantage to be had...?
It seems to me that Black's more active Rooks and outside pawn majority are an endgame advantage. Granted, the engines I have almost all rate this as a 0.00 but I'd be curious to hear the assessment of some of our higher rated OTB players.

Originally posted by no1marauderI agree with no1marauder`s evaluation. In normal circumstances as Black I would play for win, especially against lower rated player.

I would suggest you to think twice before posting another your silly comment.

Originally posted by TyrannosauruschexFor minority attack usually at least 2 linked pawns are needed. In this position its possible to move only a pawn as c pawn can be blocked easily. With one a pawn you can do nothing serious.
You could have launched a minority attack against the black queenside - that is something worth playing for. Definately not a position I would have drawn without trying that sort of thing first.
