There is a very useful feature on chess.com called Tablebase
There are times when you play an endgame, and you wonder whether it was possible to have changed the outcome. At the time, you will probably go over it with your opponent and the two of you will discuss the pros and cons of the position.
What you can do for positions that have up to 7 pieces remaining on the board, is re-create the position in the analysis section of chess.com, load it and then select the “Tablebase” option on the top right. It will then give you the current status of play: win, lose or draw if perfect moves were played from then on. You can then add the moves that were made at the time of your game and see if or when the status changes.
If this kind of feature interests you for your chess development then Bourne Chess Club is the place to come for your enjoyment of chess. Bourne Chess Club is playing in the Lincs and Cambs county divisions next season (2025/2026) and is continually looking for new members. For further enquiries please call Wake House on 01778 782224
