Hey Kira! GK is a long way ahead of you at the moment - he has an extra knight and three extra pawns. Since a knight is worth three pawns too, GK is winning by about six pawns!

So here are two bits of advice.

Firstly, one of his pawns is a "passed" pawn - it can't be stopped by any other pawn from queening. It's his c-pawn: watch it! (You haven't got a passed pawn at the moment.)

Secondly, just think where you would be if you exchanged both rooks and your pawns with his rooks and pawns. He would have a knight, three pawns and a king, and you would have just your king. He would win! So don't exchange any of your pieces unless you have to. Keep your pieces and you'll keep your chances of winning.

Following the game from here, I was able to put the computer (white) in checkmate.
 
White might wish to play for a draw and hope black makes a mistake or two. Or else build Leonardo's Workshop and upgrade all pawns to Queens .
