We can see the clocks in v3. White always had at least 13 seconds left, which would have been plenty of time to find a forced mate with 2 Qs on the board.

 

I remember Karpov being embarrassed that one of his wins (I think against Korchnoi) lasted more than 100 moves, saying that he should have found the win much sooner.

 


 I know, everyone makes mistakes, especially in blitz. But this game was singled out as "an incredible game". Games where I dropped a rook weren't incredible. Noteworthy, perhaps. Error-filled, definitely. Incredible? Not really.

Totally crazy game against lower rated player. I had to use an engine to check, too complicated to see, especially when you're low on time. Sorry for the blunders! I eventually tied for third place in the July 4th UTT but lost on tiebreaks to Marignon.

Somewhat shambolic, and definitely chaotic.

Who checkmate who first.

LOL yes, I tried to keep attacking your king too long and found my queen hanging and no way to pull it back to save the king.

Not in this case it wasn't, not for me!

That was a bit wild!

Avatar of Rook_Handler

is that good or bad?

Avatar of MGleason

Well, there were plenty of blunders from both sides, so by that count it was bad, but I'm sure it was fun to play!

Avatar of Rook_Handler

It was. Plus, @ArnoLubben is a 1900'er, so I was very happy when the game was over.

Avatar of MGleason

I don't know why he played 67. Rf8.  Before that, it was a draw (although a wild one where you'd both had winning chances).  But that just hangs the rook.

Avatar of Rook_Handler

we were both in desperate time trouble.

Avatar of MGleason

That could explain it.

How much time did you have on move 40?
