I recently played this game and should have won by move 19 but made a mouse slip (it should be fairly obvious to see my mistake). 

Anyhow I was surprised and delighted by White's play as the game continued - I gave the him the trophy "Connoisseur of the King" for his efforts.

Hope you enjoy.

You wasted dozens of moves by not including your King on the "A" pawn's first run for promotion...

White should have kept going for stalemate! Wink

Too bad a bout the mouse slip.... But you had the game after white lost the remaining rook.... I would have pushed my king up with the pawns as you had twice as much pawn power as white... Oh well.... Thanks for posting the game....

Cool! That's precisely why I don't have touch-move.

Yes, I understand I could have ended the game quicker.  But the play with his king is why I posted - not to try and show off - just to display his endgame.  I thought he put forth quite an effort.

Yup - if you can manage your time - probably not playing touch-move is the way to go.
