  There are only two reasons for offering a draw. The first is that you see that you have lost, or you believe that it is actually a draw on the premise that both sides will continue to play without making any mistakes. Both of these things imply a certain kind of arrogance that you should not get into the habit of.

  Let me understand this correctly from your comment as it almost sounds like you’re saying I’m arrogant for not taking the draw offers from my younger opponents? - though I’m well aware of kids not being well versed in the endgame? Perhaps I am misunderstanding. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

  @highgroundchess yes I tested on customer board with max ELO AI to look for best moves. I also saw this when I tested on my own board, which is what caused me to look for the proper answer. It's not mate if they take with pawn

  @@BeatDemon08 It is mate in 3 if they take with the pawn or the queen. Stockfish agrees with me. The primary position shows Mate in 3 no matter what they play. Check again since its all forcing moves (checks)

  ​@highgroundchess I see the problem now, it changes where the 2nd knight captures, but it is still mate in three. If dxc5 then the b5 knight would then have to capture d4 instead of c7. So it is still mate in three. So I guess you're right 🤷🏽‍♂️ I was still trying to go off where the b5 knight would normally go in the puzzle. It just changes slightly. So yes, I was an dummy. Sorry!

  Yeah, I think I'll give this one a try. I got a ChessDojo yearly subscription but it didn't agree with me: I need more freedom to work on whatever I want. The Chess Gym seems to give more freedom: there are few things you have to do every day/week and then you are on your own to explore whatever you want in your chess study.

  Thanks for sharing your game. I am an older USCF 1500 player trying to get back to OTB chess using the Pirc and KID, so it will be fun to watch your progress. I would have been confused by your opponent's move order as well. Gawain Jones suggests 6. ...c5 on page 271 of his long King's Indian book. Alireza recently played 6. ...c5 in a Titled Tuesday game shown on Chess Tempo. It seems the general plan is ...a6 and ...b5. Good luck with your chess, I'll be watching.

  Many thanks for watching and your insightful comment. I may have to look into that Gawain Jones book too. Im using Robert Ramirez’ Counterblow course on chessable and clicking through KID games in chessbase. I have a new video coming soon with a much different gameplay. I would love to see some of your games. Consider joining my discord - small chess community for improvers.
