Hi,

Natwarlal is quite weak in endgame, more so in pawn endings. Especially those
where a passed pawn is in question, Natwarlal cannot assess the situation well.
So you could try to play a quiet game and go for a win in the endgame. In fact,
in computer chess games, Natwarlal loses a lot of games in endings, after doing
well in middle game.

Natwarlal does checks in qsearch, so be sure to keep your king safe. Especially
be on lookout for sacrifices which may leave your King in a lonely and bad
position. Programs which do checks in qsearch (Eg Phalanx, Glaurung, Gothmog)
are very good at those positions.

Apart from that, I am really a very bad player myself, so I cannot think of more
ideas.

Best regards,
Pallav
