This is a resubmission--because I wanted to make sure everyone got a chance to see this (and now that my little chimp brain has mastered the software here, I can actually enter the moves rather than writing out the score):

We were both roughly 1600 USCF at the time.  For obvious reasons, this game came to be known among us as "The Four Knights Game."  The only time I have ever seen a similar final position is from a game on Tim Krabbe's website.

Did the game end at move 23? Got time for a few questions?

Why did black leave his Knights at the most inopportune spaces? They didn't move after the x castles. For me, (and believe me, that's nothing!) it just seemed that Black had a lot more 'active' game left.

Oh yeah...I'm new here. CHEERS!
