A rather ugly bongcloud game, we retained all the heavy pieces and created many open lines, preventing any attempt of king promotion. A blunder decided the game in an unclear position.

This one is pretty nice. jerry totally outplayed me until 42...f6? (42...g6 blocks the pawns and secures a very big edge for black). After that the attacking team king+passed pawn proved to be unbelievably strong. I guess it's an important game for the development of bongcloud endgame theory.
It's a chess variant. Type "Bongcloud" into the search forums box and be amazed at the passion of its' devotees. EDIT I don't really know all the rules, but the basic idea is to get your king to the other side of the board.
just checked and Browni is our winner with an impressive 3.5 points beating out second place Bresando who had 2.5 points to Jerry2468's 0 points
Congratz to Browni
