Unfortunately I was on the losing end of it. board #3582174 The pure ending starts at move 102. PS Has anyone played a game here longer than 130 moves?

Posted by tugger uskidscompute.com 2/21/2006 08:36:12 Play online chess	Message: Indeed, thoguh dare I suggest that perhaps you should've won that... Which says a lot about the way you opponent played. ——— Anand Wins and Leads Tata Steel Chess Tournament With Nakamura — Viswanathan Anand of India, the world chess champion, steamrolled his opponent on Tuesday at the Tata Steel chess tournament in the Netherlands. It was his second win of the tournament and put him into a tie for the lead of the top section of the chess event with Hikaru Nakamura of the United States. Nakamura drew on Tuesday against Anish Giri of the Netherlands. Anand and Nakamura each have 3 points. Giri, Levon Aronian of Armenia and Maxime Vachier-Lagrave are tied for third with 2.5 points each. Anand had White against Wang Hao of China and he unveiled a knight sacrifice on move 16 that gave him an overwhelming center. In a difficult position, Wang soon ...

Message: I played an OTB game once vs bogg which I believe may have been in the 130's. Hard to recall after over a dozen years. It was an ending of K+R+N vs K+R , with no pawns left. I had the lesser side of things in it, but managed to attain a Draw, from the 50 move Rule. Being the next to last round game, it could not be adjourned, and so had to play straight thru on it, for a total of 8 hours! This did delay the tournament quite markedly. After well over 6 hours playing, we both overlooked a move where I'd blundered into the typical losing maneuver. Have the impression it was around move 108. But the error was only present for that one move then gone, and with it any chances of a win barring further blunder(s). It was a great experience in character buiilding. }8-) My longest lasting game before that had been only 5 1/2 hours, and won it. ——— Chess: Making the crazy move — Black's defensive options look limited – but the trick is to shock the opponent. RB: Continuing our series of What's the Correct Defence? I puzzled over this for a long, long time before conceding defeat. Had I been playing Black here, the fight would have gone out of me and I would already have mentally resigned. I don't see how Black can escape the unpleasantness that is bound to follow White's obvious next move – 1 Nc3. The boot remains on the other foot this week, so over to Dan. DK: This looks miserable: White's central pawns dominate and the pin on the b-file is really uncomfortable. OK, down to business. First, I need to establish just how bad things are. What's ...
Posted by ionadowman uskidscompute.com 2/21/2006 10:52:34 Play online chess	Very nicely played... Message: ...Your opponent played the 'pure' K+B+N vs K very accurately, I thought. Your K was a slippery customer! I don't think you had to lose the B+N+2p vs R+2P, but. He had what chances were going, but Black's resources seemed to suggest a draw... Quite a struggle, all the same! Thanks. Cheers, Ion ——— Giri Smashes Carlsen, but Nakamura Leads Tata Steel Chess Tournament — Round 3 of the Tata Steel chess tournament in the Netherlands produced a shocking result as Magnus Carlsen of Norway, the world’s top-ranked chess player, lost in 22 moves to Anish Giri, a 16-year-old Dutch grandmaster. Carlsen had White. Carlsen played very oddly and soon had a difficult position. He then blundered and resigned a few moves later. Afterward, he posted a message on his Twitter account: “Always nice to confirm that I’m still capable of blundering a piece in one move!” Giri now has 2 points and is tied for second with Viswanathan Anand of India, the world chess champion, and Ian Nepomniachtchi of Russia. They all trail Hikaru Nakamura of the United States, who ...
