Re: Amazing Final Position
It's fun to have fun with an opponent who refuses to resign, isn't it?

Re: Amazing Final Position
Thanks Jack - actually on the first page of Aman Hambleton's chess.com games is a 593 move monster win (RP not blitz obviously). The final position featured K+6Q vs K. I haven't played through it, but Peter Lalic is probably plotting right now...

Re: Amazing Final Position
He discusses the game on YouTube. It was a titled Tuesday blitz game. As the game was streamed you could see him, and presumably his opponent, making hundreds of moves, each in a fraction of a second, through pre-moving, hence my comment here.Kevin Thurlow wrote: ↑Thu Oct 31, 2024 6:16 pmThanks Jack - actually on the first page of Aman Hambleton's chess.com games is a 593 move monster win (RP not blitz obviously).

Re: Amazing Final Position
The highest rated player I ever played was Fedoseev, who was 2680 a couple of years ago when we met in a Spanish League game.
I was resignably busted... but set an unusual trap, into which he fell!
I even, how to say, "kept the game going" in a rook, minor piece and several pawns position.
That´s to say, I had not abandoned the chances of getting the better of things.
Well, there was play on both sides of the board, and motile pawns, until we eventually agreed it drawn in
Exactly The Same Final Position
as this game, of forty-five years previous -

I too played black, and the game also began with the opportunity to enter The English Defence, which Fedoseev indeed took... and the Final Position was one of which I was already aware. And, indeed, mentioned the mirroring to my young opponent afterwards!
